That really wasn't an amazing game. Morrow had it won for the past 20 minutes but just refused to finish it and instead did nothing but run around defending drops.

It may have looked back and forth but Select had no chance of winning there at all.


It's been said a million times over, but it's worth repeating. Players can't always see the whole picture and in the heat of the moment miscalculate the opponent's force and economy. I can't blame Morrow for playing it safe and not risking the win. He did what he felt was best at the situation and if the game has to take 40 mins for a player to come to a winning conclusion, then so be it.


Not trying to bash on Morrow. I know that it can be extremely hard to tell how far ahead you are, or if you are even ahead at all, in the heat of the game and Select was doing an amazing job of keeping Morrow in a defensive mindset.

It's just irritating how many people are running around screaming "epic game" when it was anything but.


I think the problem being is different people have different opinions on what an "epic game" is. For example consider American football, some people love the high scoring games, myself personally I find those boring give me a 10 - 7 defensive grudge match any day.

Meh, I was convinced Morrow would win the entire time, but I enjoyed the constant drops and the battles going on all around the map, and I simply enjoyed watching the game overall with the commentary. To me it was epic... that doesn't mean it has to be the highest level of play.

This game was almost like Socke vs Dimaga, but Morrow did win it .


You mean Happy vs Dimaga on TA ?

No, at HSC Dimaga played against Socke and got a 50-70 Supply advantage, instead of finishing him he let Socke mass up Voidrays which owned him.


Oh.
You should check Dimaga vs Happy as well, long drawn out game on TA where Happy come back and win from an almost 100 supply deficit too.

Funny thing, I remember Beastyqt showing a replay on his stream which was Dimaga vs. a Terran on TA which he lost in a drawn out game as well.

He seems to have some Problems closing it out, I remember he stops remaking Drones or expanding at some Point and then when his Trust fund was empty, he just loses

so mayeb the best conclusion we can draw from that is that practicing how to maintain an advantage is better than trying to finish the game if u have a feeling ur ahead

when i had my broodlords done how could i know he didnt have defense vs it? its pretty difficult to scout everything, broodlords were mostly just to defend massive pushes by select

im just trying to play the game how i believe its supposed to be played, if the game is over u should blame my opponent not me lol

i think tal darim crosspos zvt late game is all about controlling the map and expansions, why would i attack straight onto terran army offcreep with broodlords when the map is so big and open xd ultralisk are easily wasted thats why i try to be careful to waste as little as possible.
so many times in tvz i managed to make comebacks because zerg just threw units at me because he was ahead and i dont think its the way to go about it unless ur absolute sure u win with it

Definitely going to donate for the next tournament. Great games aside, I just love the way TB and Apollo have run everything.

I think that long game was what morrow wanted... in the end it was just a big bunch of stress and a long long long time to keep up high apm for select and a at least kinda easy game for morrow, wearing your oponent down like a boss

I don't quite understand the concern. They aren't interrupting anything and as TB and Apollo have said several times all proceeds of the commercials will be going directly towards SCi3. All the $$ earned are being poured right back into eSports! What more could you ask for?

Yeah, i can't blame you. ZvT specialy can be deceptive because a few drops and a bad attack can throw away a game really quickly.

Sent a donation to John, I feel he deserves any donation people can muster. He works relentlessly to put these events on and props to Apollo as well for doing a great job as well.
