i think its funny how everyone says dimaga and idra are better than morrow - this is not sc1

idra's 12hours a day for 2 years does not count in sc2. That would be like Heaton saying "lol ive been playing CS for so many years, i should be able to rape everyone in sc2"

yea i know its not the same thing but still, Morrow,Idra and Dimaga all have played about the same amount and therefore, if the game is balanced, should result in close games

just because Idra is the better player in SC:BW doesnt mean he's the better player in SC 2

What horrible logic. The best zerg in the tournament (DIMAGA and IdrA) are much better players than the best terran players. Sure guys like TLO and MorroW are strong players, but not close to as good as DIMAGA or IdrA. If inferior players can make it a hell and even out a match it means that the race they are playing is favored in someway; be it unit versatility, available options from start to end, or just map imbalance.

This makes no sense, how is Idra and Dimaga better than TLO and Morrow? because they were better in SC:BW? seriously this is a different game and they all have played the same amount (roughly)

It makes perfect sense when you watch the games. DIMAGA and IdrA have much more refined play in their games.

They were better than them in BW because they were more talented than them, I think that still applies.

I hope I didn't sound like this at the start of beta...you know, when most of us picked a race, and roaches were the biggest load of shit in any rts ever.

Mechanics? APM? There are some strong technical similarities between the two games, so I'd bet that skill at one of them does affect skill at the other. At the very least, it's obviously true at the lower levels of play.

its kind of naive to say that morrow played 12 hours every day since sc2 was released

of course you got an advantage at sc2 if you were good at sc1

every strong player right now has played sc1 or at least wc3 before, so how can you not agree that it gives you an advantage in some way

Morrow has been one of the best build makers throughout the entire beta.... His play is pretty fucking refined.

LOL ppl saying IdrA is more talented than MorroW now that is fucking hilarious

MorroW played SC:BW for.. 2years? and achieved A rank on iccup, before IdrA went to korea he wasnt even a top-terran outside of Korea

Even with 2 years practice in a proteam he cannot beat NonY to save his fucking life

MorroW's talend > IdrA's

im not even that big of a fan of MorroW but its chrystal fucking clear that he's not any less talented than idra or dimaga

just hate it when people makes retarded assumptions based on how good the players were in another game

Mechanics? APM?


Much, much less important in SC2. WhiteRa has an apm of like 100 and can't even split his workers properly. He's still a beast. Past a certain bare minimum, strategy/creativity are just as important as pure mechanics, which is why TLO does well--he's really, really creative and good at throwing his opponents out of their comfort zone. If TLO is on his game, he forces his opponent to adopt unit compositions and strategies that they've likely never used before, which mucks with their execution, allowing him to win.

Idra is the exact opposite of that. He plays the exact same strategy every single game. *Of course* he needs crazy mechanics to make that work--the opponent always knows what he's going to do and can plan accordingly. The only way Idra is going to beat that is if he just plain out-executes his opponent.

There is more to skill at SC2 than APM/mechanics. They're a component, but if your strategy is just plain better, your opponent can execute better than you and you can still win. Maybe if Idra realized this he wouldn't bitch so much every time a supposedly "inferior" player manages to beat him.

He drone drone drone. Me win. - ogsMC

I sincerely hope dimaga doesnt switch, His zerg is just beast, just needs to work on a few minor details in his play. Seeing him play in the IEM has undoubtedly been the most entertaining games.

Hope to see him switch and fail miserably to the classic spread-muta harass to mass zerglings/banelings.
There's hardly any counter if the Zerg has good macro and knows how to defend.

But ye, he wouln't switch, this was just an attempt to force Blizzard to buff Zerg.

He also has the best drop ship play I've seen.

You guys can cry all you want about zvt and Idra being better than Morrow of vice versa but DIMAGA played some of the best and most entertaining games this tournament.

It was like TLO vs Nada but then multiple games.
