Morrow went Zergling/Bling/Infestor/Ultra. Nani didn't focus overlords and his ball got broken. Game 2 morrow Denied his 3rd for like 2 minutes and Nani got out macroed.
Watch the game again, Nani focused overlords, he manage to snipe 3 out of 4 Overlords with banes one fight. Nani just couldn't keep up with the Nuerals/Fungals though and ended up slowly dieing.
2nd Game Nani just didn't have any idea how to handle Morrows new play style, he got out-macro-d, but not by choice, Morrow just had him pinned the entire game, the one time Nani moved out he lost every single probe to a ton of lings, there was no way Nani could ever leave enough behind to push Morrow and save his probes.
Also, both Lalush and Morrow believe protoss has the advantage vs zerg.
Thought Morrow expressed the opposite in a recent interview, saying he has a new outlook on the match up..
I can not watch the game right now (stupid Jtv) I thought that when Morrow went for the main entrance (which was walled of) Nani pushed through the bottom and then overlord drops killed his army.
After that Nani adapted(because he is amazing in BOX series) and started focusing overlords.

Morrow has expressed an opinion that at the current state of the game TvZ might slightly favour zerg. Also, both Lalush and Morrow believe protoss has the advantage vs zerg.
I remember him saying so before but TLO(?) i think said that Morrow is now comfortable with ZvP.
To translate what Morrow said about ZvP in this interview (given right after Morrow advanced from the WCG qualifiers a few hours ago) he says since 2 weeks ago he has been practicing a new style vs protoss which basically incorporates every unit in the zerg arsenal. In particular lots of zerglings early game, as well as infestors and baneling drops. He says he doesn't feel comfortable with the style, and that he still has to learn its timings and understand it completely. It focuses less on having en economic advantage than the classic roach hydra corruptor style. The reason why he has been so succesful is because protoss players aren't used to this new style, and in particular are bad at defending several locations at the same time.
Morrow says that protoss has an advantage vs zerg, and in the end of the interview, upon being asked how he feels about zvz vs Lalush, Morrow jokingly says "I should pick protoss instead and just 4gate him".

Oh, the game was over at that point, he didn't have the stalker count to shoot down the Overlords, they blinked, got an overlrod then got trapped by lings.

TLO was the one saying Morrow is very comfortable in ZvT. As for ZvP Morrow is not at all comfortable, in this interview (in Swedish) from just a few hours ago Morrow says he thinks ZvP is protoss favoured:
Morrows new ZvP is interesting, it was clear that naniwa didn't know how to play against it. Now the ball is in the protoss court again, while this style of zerg will have it's 15 min in the spotlight.

He definitely says, among other things, that protoss is still the better race currently and that the new style may only be working because protoss players are bad at handling multipronged attacks and just aren't used to the build
