I'd be extremely surprised if he immediately started winning with an off-race that's considered the most mechanically demanding out of the three. A loss streak can be attributed more to the fact that it's his off-race not completely due to balance -.- | ||

I'm definitely thinking about it (switching races that is...). | ||

And I don't know why some people think it's a big deal losing LADDER points. Unless he goes into some relatively decent sized tournament when money is on the line and goes with zerg , i really don't think this is anything. | ||

IdrA - spending 12 hours a day practicing his race, and you said "I used a few hours yesterday to practice my reaper micro". It just goes to show how ridiculous Terran was \ is. That's not what he said... | ||

The thing is Morrow that your highly publicised win over IdrA in the IEM has really been a curse to you in many ways. Your macro was flawless and your reaper micro was totally awesome in those games and I don't think you're given enough credit for how well you played. Actually I found his reaper micro fairly lacking in comparison to Idra and have been a bit on the hate train because of that. This of course means I haven't seen many of his other matches which is probably true for lots of the haters in this thread. But I'm sure many of us enjoy ZvX more than TvX so the haters should die down a bit as they see how he actually plays. | ||

If he went to Korea he would be among the most successful foreigners. Other than Ret, Nony, and Idra, few or no foreigners had as much Brood War success as MorroW on the foreign scene in the past two years. This is the guy who finished second in the TSL2 ladder virtually out of the blue--just behind Idra and 417 points ahead of anyone else--when almost no one knew who he was and even fewer believed in him. roflwhat he cheated his way to that ladder score. it was technically within the rules but it was certainly not legit. he was nothing at bw. saying you were the third best sc1 terran outside of korea, which is arguable in itself, is like saying you're the third smartest kid in the special class. | ||

Even if he did say that, let's analyze what it is and why you're talking out of your ass: Spending several hours practicing microing a single unit the day before vs Spending 12 hours a day practicing his entire race It's like you're comparing bacon to the Olympics. | ||

You're gonna win lots of friends with that last comment, I'm sure. Nothing like carpet bombing your insults, huh? | ||

Practicing micro of a single unit the night before a match doesn't take 12 hours, and equivocating it with Idra's general training regimen is not a reasonable comparison. EDIT: Also, ITT, Idra admitting he lost as a ringer in a cripple fight? | ||

Oh you think you're so smart doing the backon \ olympics reference just because you listened to State of the game. Guess what it makes you look a complete tool. The point I was making is that because he practiced a few hours with a unit, he could secure a win at IEM. Which in itself is fucking idiotic. If you listened to the state of the game you might have heard what they talked about last week. That players playing less than so and so many hours a week will never become the best. Its weird that MorroW could practice with a singel unit just before a final and get such a HUGE advantage. | ||

I wonder which took more work... (Anyone know where I can find the interviews from IEM? It was after his either IdrA or Dimaga game) | ||

Yes, a joke made at the end of my post invalidates what I said before it. Can you post a link to your diploma from the Online University of Debating Like an Asshat?

Its weird that MorroW could practice with a singel unit just before a final and get such a HUGE advantage. Yes, because MorroW has never practiced SC2 before in his life. He came in cold and his entire experience was limited to practicing reaper micro for two hours the day before. He, like every player who ever beats Idra, is obviously a worthless scrub who 1a2a3a's his way to an undeserved victory. (to the Aspie population of TL.net - the above is sarcasm) | ||
