The guy has routinely beaten the top zergs in Code S, and Morrow is no where near a top zerg in the GSL. | ||

I just remember he was very good at TvZ. | ||

Gimmicky in that his whole gameplan hinged on Alive not spotting the proxy pylon, you should've base your gameplan on your opponent making mistakes. He does proceeds to do some nice damage later on but decides to push in to Alive's base and his army gets smashed and dies to a counter-attack. Set2, he played solidly and won. In set3, he makes a baffling decision to attack up the ramp when up 2-bases-to-1 and knowing that Alive was allining on 1-base. All he had to do was sit back and defend and he wins easily. In set1 against Happy he tries for an "allinish" bust on Happy's fortified position. He doesn't lose outright since he had decent control on the retreat. However, Happy just streamrolls him in the counter-attack. Set2 against Happy, he did play solid but he scouted the 2-rax and really should've been more prepared, but was likely tilting already - his own fault after his gimmicky allinish play he was showing. Except for the decision in game three he played amazingly the first set dude. | ||

I dont think Brown played well in game one either its like he said Brown had the advantage early and then basically suicided his whole army for economic damage and died to the counter attack. I dont understand why he expanded so late, didnt have better upgrades or anything when he had the advantage. | ||

Half of me wants to say "Terran OP," but the other side recognizes that Brown just has terrible, terrible crisis-management skills. He was in control the whole game, but the moment Alive fought back and made some success, he just crumbled. Tragic. That said, it is still ridiculous how one good EMP can change a game like that. No other spell in the game is as powerful. Shouldn't it at least be 100 energy to cast?  | ||

His winrate, even though it's a pretty small sample size, he's got like an 85% winrate. He's really fucking good at TvZ, though there seems to be a lot of Korean Terrans like that. | ||

Even if Alive scouted a proxy pylon, it's not like Alive had enough time to throw down 3 bunkers and complete them in time. Brown knew Alive would go 1 rax expand and metagamed him. His play throughout the entire series was extremely solid and possibly the best forcefields I've ever seen. He made one or two big mistakes in games 1 and 3 that lost him the game. He may not be the best toss player in the world right now, but he's definitely damn close to it | ||
