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. | ||

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"... | ||

Kudos to morrow! 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. | ||

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. | ||

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

-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 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 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. | ||

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. | ||
