Morrow, I am disappoint. Grats to the winner though^^ I loved TLO's facial expressions after game 3 vs NaDa

Why can't we vote for MorroW being the most disappointing for taking a final series over a better player with reaper abuse? Nothing is as disappointing as seeing a stronger player lose because of an opening which MorroW admittedly says is imba, but uses repeatedly to win because he knows he would lose without it.
Oh yeah and he denied ZvT scouting in the last game, epic skills, bravo.
Morrow for most disappointing option please.

His usual tactic that he have been using in tournaments with FE didn't work. He used it three times and lost. He then tried to go into a longer macro game against Dimaga. It didn't work. What exactly would you have done?

Once again, what the hell would you have done? Lost thousands of dollars just so you can get credit for not using reapers?

I agree very much with this post, hopefully they will play better in the future.

although yourself, MorroW, and I agree that mass reapers early on is incredibly difficult to deal with and probably imbalanced, who gives a fuck in a high stakes tournament where the difference between winning and losing is $2,500!

Huge grats to you Morrow, so glad you got to participate and prove you are worthy of a spot! Hope you had a good time and make sure to savor all the tears streaming down the crybabies' cheeks. Oh, and of course the well earned 50 000 kronor!

HuK and white-ra were big let downs.

MorroW did great. He would have been dumb if he didn't use the units working best against zerg just because they might be over powered.

first congrats to morrow, i think he played well through the whole tournament beating some realy good players!!
second for all morrow haters, hate the game not the player, and if you cant see that he played good ,imba build or not the guys has proved himself to be a good player through the whole trouney,if you cant see that,then you are just blinded by hatred.

Right, because it's his fault the game is "imbalanced" and he used it to win himself some money.
I'm glad Dimaga lost the game where he killed all of Lucifron's workers...it was the kick he needed to play a little more standard . He impressed me the most and I also liked how happy he was all the time lol.

Disappointed that you can make a command center during what should be an all in strat.

UPDATE: I have secured both GamesCom 2010 winners Stefan "MorroW" Andersson and Marcel "k1llsen" Paul to come on today's "Weapon of Choice" and "Live On Three" to give two live post-event interviews and give their immediate afterthoughts. MorroW joins "Weapon of Choice" to discuss his last-minute entrance into GamesCom to begin with, the many cries of 'imbalance' for Terran in StarCraft 2, and how he was able to take out the machine that is Greg "IdrA" Fields in the finals. k1llsen will join "Live On Three" to dive into his first major international LAN victory, how it felt to play and win in front of his home crowd, and the difficulties in taking down last year's Season 4 champion, Shane "rapha" Hendrixson.
Tune into both shows back-to-back with Weapon of Choice at 2 PM EST/20:00 CET and Live On Three at 4 PM EST/22:00 CET at http://www.djWHEAT.tv - Shows start in 1 hour 20 minutes from this posting.

I haven't seen WhiteRa play a decent game in forever. I seriously think he is one of the most overrated players.

Sorry if it's a teensy bit off-topic, but where can I find vods for this tourney?

In my opinion, winning by cheese is worse than losing with style.

Congratulations MorroW, impressive tournament from him! Also IdrA and Dimaga delivered such a strong Zerg play play. Was a really nice Start of SC2 in the IEM and i hope the next one will be even better!
