I'm glad you've acquired the talent of reusing shitty internet insults, and your effort is far from going unnoticed. Yawn. I never said he didn't play alot, I'm referring to how much of an upper-hand he could get from 2 hours of practicing the night BEFORE the finals. My point was essentially that it might be a reason to why he isn't universally viewed as a top top player by everyone (which anyone who wins an IEM should). But as the flawless and brilliant persona that you are did not make this connection, I'm inclined to believe that you're a) a douche b) mentally challenged, or c) both. He practiced microing a single unit that his build depended on. How fucking hard is that to comprehend? How long do you need to practice reaper micro on the previous day before you can use 3 rax reaper? 4 hours? 6 hours? Wait, you can't use 3 rax reaper, because it's an imba strategy vs Zerg. Morrow should have picked a mediocre strategy that would lower his chances of winning. He should have traveled to Korea and practiced for 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, because SC2 is not a competitive game where winning matters, but rather a ritualized martial art where going through the motions and living up to esoteric ideals is the only way to gain respect. The reason he isn't universally viewed as a top player is because he plays Terran (and doesn't do the flashy nukeapaloozas of TLO), and Zerg fanboys are disproportionally represented. | ||

MorroW i really am impressed that you don't give a fuck what people think. I did not aprove your comments in that one particular thread that was quoted somewhere above saying Terrans practice more then Zerg. But #1 doing this with your top5 rating and #2 giving feedback in this thread + #3 telling us to give us the replay pack + #4 hopefully doing that soon gives me a broner again + Show Spoiler + ![]() from me | ||

It's simply not the way to get better at the game - you accept it for what it is, admit your weaknesses, and work on fixing them. Every time you open your mouth and make excuses for a loss, you retard your growth as a player - it's that simple. | ||

The box wouldn't contain a game, but just a Wakizashi with the Zerg logo embossed on the blade. | ||

To be honest, you didn't lose the GSL because you are a bad player, or your race is underpowered, you lost because you were outplayed. In my books you are only as good as your last match, and that didn't give me evidence to suggest Zerg is horribly underpowered. theres a difference between giving your opinion about something and being bitter. i think IdrA is just speaking his mind, whats wrong with that? he simply doesnt believe morrow was on his or level or the players hes mentioned. certainly doesnt sound bitter to me. unless i missed it i dont see where he complains about him losing the GSL because of imbalance or whatever. | ||

The fact that all he needed to do was a few hour practice before his match to get a huge advantage, I'm not sure if you're arguing for the sake of argue or if you're completely dumb. | ||

Publicly stating that the guy who beat you at a major tournament is the third smartest retard in special ed class isn't bitter? | ||

Give one reason why you know that practicing for 2 hours on microing one unit > 12 hours a day microing many units. | ||

No he wouldn't have been far behind, but the fact that 2 hours of practicing gave him a huge advantage is my point. That there is such a unit that you can sit down the day before a fucking final and practice with a few hours and get a huge advantage. I'm sure Morrow would have brought the game to IdrA even without it, but you can't help but feel because of the unit (reaper - terran t1) gave him such a lead, that alot of people felt that when he said "Yeah I used 2 hours the day before to practice the reaper micro" that it leaves a bad taste in the mouth. | ||

Actually, he may have been far behind. If he didn't practice it, the reapers would have died to the lings. This means IdrA spends less gas and minerals on Roaches and lings, which means more drones, which would have put him far ahead, actually. Not to mention a faster lair. | ||
