I wish I hadn't called that. (Privately.) Idra, why do you do this to us.
|
The weird thing is that Idra didn't play all that badly, for the most part.
But where he played badly, he played exactly the right way to lead immediately to defeat.
Idra is just sitting there at his computer. Morrow takes off his jacket and walks away.
Kind of awkward, really.

Hilarious and predictable result.

Whoever pointed out how IdrA's early gg's might hurt his late game brings up a very interesting point.
I wonder if it affects his unit control in general. Taking awhile to gg usually results in trying to micro your heart out for a few minutes before gging to the superior force. IdrA never gets experience in just trying to maximize his unit control for a few hectic minutes of desperation. I think that'd help him a lot - you'd see less lost infestors, less sacrificial brood lords, and he'd probably be able to do more with his army in general. His early ggs, both in tournaments but also on ladder, may well hurt him in ways he doesn't realize.
What do people think?
EDIT: Not to mention it would give him some time to collect himself and try to get untilted.

Idra will never be a true champion until he learns to fight tooth and nail for his victories. He always has the mindset of "That SHOULD HAVE won, but didn't because this game sucks. It'll be too difficult to fight back now, I give up."

Perfect mechanics. Perfect decision making on a good day. What has morrow won? Idra has an IEM and an MLG. Based on that, idra will 4-0. No fanboy, just objective perspective. You kids are the ones making me out as a fanboy. I am just an ESPORTS fan looking for good games to watch while saying on a public forum who I think will win. Idra has proven that he can win championships. Morrow has not.
Hey hanlonbro, you're back! Oh shit, did I just blow your cover by accident? My apologies :p

I think you make an interesting and potentially valid point.
Megumixbear now interviewing Morrow.

Megumi: "Do you have a special beer that you like?"
Morrow: "I actually can't drink because I'm 19"

I think he's still stuck in the mentality that if he macros better than his opponent and takes enough small leads he should just win. As zerg, that's never true - you can always lose your whole army basically for free if you control it poorly. So he gg's early and bitches about bad game design instead of adjusting what he does to what he has.
Zerg can win if it's played perfectly. Whether or not you have to play perfectly while your opponent can play sloppily is irrelevant.
It's too bad, because we've all seen him in beastmode, and it's a pleasure to watch.

Ouch, I kinda feel sorry for him. I dunno but I wouldn't be surprised if he soon decides to make pause of pro gaming or something.
I gotta admit, seeing Idra fail was amusing for me before but nowadays I kinda wish he does well in some showmatch or tournament, but then he goes 0-4 against Morrow who is "off-racing" against Z. :/

Megumi: "So you basically bulldozed over Idra. Did that go as expected?"
Morrow:" No, not at all, I was extremely lucky. I did a special preparation for this showmatch that I'd never done before. I actually wrote down on paper every single map, thinking about which map he's going to pick, and thinking about how Idra would play Infestors, etc. I decided to go all-in on Dual Sight."

He never did, before. But some time ago he double 6 pooled after going down 0-2 to aLive in a showmatch. Did you watch the Alive games? Obviously not because they aren't comparable. The alive games were garbage, Idra replied with more garbage play. These games are good, complete opposite situation.
Did you read the comment i responded to?
Where did I compare the quality to those games against these? I was merely correcting a 17 post user throwing out a false statement.

Megumi: "How are you going to celebrate this?"
Morrow: "I don't know, I'm not going to drink. Maybe I'll drink when I get home."
Morrow so soft-spoken yet such a baller.
