Nice to see you can win a $15k prizepool tournament without even having practiced the opening build you're executing for more than a day (If I understood this correctly). Kudos to morrow!

I just want to clarify when i said the strat is easy i mean that its easy for top tier terrans such as Morrow. In no way am i saying anyone can do it. Full props to Morrow, he played extremely well and beat IdrA within the bounds of the game. Either Blizzard will make a change or someone will come up with something more solid to beat 5 rax reapers as zerg.


I agree, obviously MorroW knew how to do a 5 rax and use reapers, I think dimaga just helped him tool it right with his zerg knowledge. Plus you need to micro well with it or they can go down easy. When I was watching the finals I was a bit upset to see these rushes, as I would have liked for the games to last longer (for my enjoyment as a viewer) but MorroW played well. He wanted to win and knew he didn't want to let Idra get in his comfort zone. Like you said, he's playing within the bounds of the game and how can a top level player draw the line at something being over powered. "Well I could have won but I didn't want to use this strat because it worked sooo well." That's ridiculous.

It may be for amateurs like you and me, but in a professional competition it's within fairplay and code of conduct, this is the same as any sport, and I think we want to consider e-sports also a part of sports.


Oh come on, you can't be serious. Idra got cheesed - it's one thing to say that he shouldn't insult the other player, but you can't expect him to say "good game".

In other sports, its common place to shake hands after a game. If my opponent plays dirty (but still within the rules), I'm not shaking their hand. This is not a "Code of conduct issue"...

Morrow says his build is imba ... That's what's interesting? Everyone knows that.

this x100. Congrats to Morrow, but seriously, learning reaper night before a tourney. I don't know whether to be extremely impressed by Morrow or seriously disturbed at how hard it is for zerg to counter this.

In many situations when people don't shake hands and just leave the media makes a huge deal out of it (I remember it happening a few times in football or something). Not unique to Starcraft really.

Shaking hands is different to GG, GG means good game, shaking hands does not mean GG or anything like it.

Really fantastic episode of Weapon of Choice. As for the interview, morrow seems really shy to come out and say "yeah, it's a little too strong of a build". I wish he'd just come out and say it.

If you listen to the interview, the "no gg" that pissed Morrow off was in a practice game, which IdrA WON.

-Response to morrow. i was mad that you beat idra, arrrrgh but congrats and you seem like a chill guy
-Response to Apollo complaints. meh. he got better throughout the event and had a bunch of insight that i dont think any other commentator really could have brought up.
-Response to ProdiG. hey, i like your maps and am probably going to start up again. the only map i dislike is starchild, i dont know why but it feels very awkward for zerg. the other maps that ive played are solid though.

i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

I would love to see the QQ if they brought back lurkers. Although, maybe not. Since reapers or a good 2 gate build screws us over before lurkers would even take the stage.

If blizz does decide to nerf this build...what would they do? Make reapers 2 food? If you reduce the speed or reduce the damage,it will kill the essence of the reaper. Maybe making them 2 food will reduce the speed at which they reach critical mass, which is what seems to be the problem.

The find of the tourney was Dimaga for me,loved the way he played.

Congos to MorroW,he did play well,despite what you think of the finals.

I think changing them to 75 minerals will help to stop the ability of terran gaining such an eco lead. I still don't know if it is IMBA but im pretty sure terrans will be doing this to zergs on the ladder now so some new strats might evolve.

he even says that the reaper build is imba and should be nerfed soon. good interview and another good WoC. Pretty amazing he learned that build last minute and used it pretty well (unless I misunderstood and dimaga showed him that build well in advance of the lan)


OR the reaper opening is extremely easy to learn as you only need to learn the basic BO and then remember to make scvs and learn how to reaper micro. On top of that you get taught the build by very impressive T and Z players who have practiced with each other so much on mTw that they have learned the build inside out. Seems fairly ezpz, not impressive to me.


I'd like to see you try it against Idra.

@WCH Yeah that might work quite well too. Lol,almost everyone is going to be doing this on the ladder. I remember when HD posted his worker rush video,I went through 8-9 games with people scv rushing,and were shocked when it failed.

Wonder if a terrans in korea have done this strat against zergs...
