I cant believe morrow after losing so much drones and the hatch STILL goes for double evo, spire and banespeed at the same time... Im not saying he stood a chance anyways but to win from there he NEEDS to crush a push and thats done with making alot of units not tech. If he crushes a push, manages to drone and then tech properly he atleast stands a chance.. with 550 gas and 700minerals into tech he will have no chance at all to defend..
poor decisionmaking imo.
I was really suprised by the double evo's, spire and banespeed is kinda required to crush the pushes but evo's just seemed really wasted, maybe he thought he wouldnt get pushed again but that would be even weirder since everything pointed towards more pushes.
Why do you need a spire? It doesn't help at all.

What happened to the whole plan of having a TEAM of foreigners training in Korea with a Korean team? Wasn't that what FXOpen was going to do? Wasn't that the "future" of sc2 based on the endless discussion on korean domination of foreigners?

Poor GSL, tries so hard to get foreigners in GSL and they just fail miserably. I think its only a matter of trying to find foreigners who can actually stand up to Koreans and beat them. Like ThorZain. When Thorzain played code A, he failed first round too. Against Yugiho. Yugiho's a code S player, so thats not really a surprise. Foreigner-wise, the only players I think that can compete on a day-to-day basis are ThorZain, Sen, Kas, Stephano, Huk, Dimaga, Sheth and possibly Ret. Other than that I think there are some foreigners who do have the skill but lack the mental fortitude to consistently win *coughcough* IdrA. I'd end my list there.
Seeing as Sen is still in the GSL I think you should probably toss him on your list too

Also, why why why why would you get 4 queens AND have the first two make creep tumors?! The advantage of 4 queens is that you get both the creep spread WHILE not sarcrificing any injects!!

This was a lackluster series...Really hoped MorroW would advance but he made to many misstakes. He should have been aware of these cheesy strats, Always tries to go into lategame but sometimes he needs to mix things up. Maurus timings were crisp, just in time before to many mutas were out.
Well hope the foriegners can step up thier game next season.
maru did nothing cheesy in the second game, didnt see first game so don't know about that....

No, they are just bad. They don't practice nearly as much as Koreans and not as well. This is the reason, don't make excuses for them. I respect koreans so much for being so good. Foreigners are just lazy. These posts are really getting obnoxious. Even a player who didn't practice in months wouldn't have died to a Hellion runby, these games were obviously not representative of Morrow's skill, and anyone with a modicum of knowledge and common sense is aware of this. Argh, LR threads.
Why doesn't this happen to top korean zergs then? Because they've practiced in hundreds of times. Morrow dies to this stuff ALL the time. Every time I see him play, he gets rolled by hellions in some way. He doesnt practice enough.

Dear fellow foreigner fans,
Let's kind of forget that this game happened.
Love, David So you think that it´s Blizzards fault that Morrow messed up his defence? Not being able to block the ramp with 4(!) queens? You know there's a chance that the OP is called David right? He may not be pretending to be David Kim Oh. OHH! That's why he thought I was blaming the game X.X. No my name is David. Sorry that's kind of just a thing I do, say something then end it with Love, David. My bad wasn't trying to imply I was David Kim or anything T.T
Is your surname Kim? Because that may cause issues later on

My one concern would be that his style is pretty narrow.Like, he has a strat, and everything revolves around those key units. Its not like he goes banshees to harass then goes martine/tank/medivac. He harasses with marine/tank/medivac while going marine/tank/medivac
This is pretty much the problem with foreigners in Code A matches. Their style is known and available to any Korean who they may versus, and if they happen to meet an unknown Korean, they have nothing to prepare against them while the opponent has a week to counter their strategies.

What's Sheth doing these days? Rarely see him being pitted against any Koreans, or any matches for that matter. Saw him guest casting on NASL and that's about it.
