Gonna look it up, however. i practiced it a few hours before dimaga game and then about 10 hours before the idra finals which was during the party and very early in the morning. and that straight up for 1 special build is actually alot since i didnt really have to learn anything else about my race because i already knew it, just had to practice that special opening. if u think this is short time for 1 opening then ur on my side thinking sc2 is too easy of a game aswell On September 29 2010 17:34 IdrA wrote: oh i absolutely support it since it'll prove what a joke the game is right now without risking the reputation of one of the 5 remaining competitive zergs. but people mentioning him in the same breath as me nony and ret for sc1 cannot happen, especially on the basis of that ladder. idra u shouldnt even be compared to ret or nony since u were clearly above them aswell, just cause nony won u in whatever doesnt mean alot. but its hilariously how u can group up with them in here just to disclude me from it while we both know and think u were above all foreigners by a significant margin. this just goes to show how hard u really wanna put me down like u always have ever since i entered the scene On September 29 2010 17:48 ilbh wrote: we have to admit it is kind of retarded to switch to another race when you are at the top. he would need a month to be good as zerg and even then he can't be sure if he would be also at the top as zerg. so, I don't think he will keep playing as zerg. he was probably just checking/testing the race. on my way home today from school i just felt it inside me, the spirit to just get home and practice all the damn day. i felt that spark every day playing sc1 and some periods of sc2, then ive just dropped it more and more lately with terran, why? because i dont see much room to improve in my race and i dont have many questions that practicing can answer. when i go home today i have so much to learn with zerg and i realize already how hard it will be, and thats what thrills me to practice. playing 2 hours a day with terran kept me on the top but i dont wanna win without deserving it. i wasnt super happy to win iem because i knew i wouldnt have won it if it was a fair game, i get so happy to lose and learn while winning over and over without learning anything isnt so motivating to practice. thats just who i am and thats why im eager to switch race because im pretty sure blizzard wont make the game any more difficult to play On September 29 2010 19:40 oZii wrote: Agreed that this is a bit out of hand. I'm all for loving your Race but people in here are acting like its the Civil War its not that serious folks. I mean idrA played terran in SC1 and switched to Zerg and he is great player and all zergs swear by his word but really seriously in the end anyone can play whatever they want. To much elitism in here from people that aren't even close to the same level as idrA or morrow. Acting like they are protecting thier precious zerg. TT1 plays Toss most of the time but on his stream he will play Zerg and is pretty good at it. No one is bashing him. Its like Morrow is the Anti-Christ in this thread. Let him get the timings down and larvae management down. I'm sure he will do fine. Remember he pretty much does this for a living. Many people here posting are probably at work flaming him and right now Morrow is probably at home practicing non-stop putting in hours in that most people in this thread just can't do. That alone should tell you that if he does "suck" it won't be for long. actually i go to school like most normal in sweden ppl expect me to be this massgamer but what ive said already in this thread is that 0-2 hours every day has been enough practice to keep me on top of the scene ever since release, which is absolutely ridiculous display of how little esport sc2 actually is. ive spend about 10 times more time playing events such as tournament or clanwars than practicing and it didnt bring me down. and this is what unmotivates me to practice with the terran race so with that way of thought i can arguably say that trying to squeeze in 3-6 hours of practice each day with zerg should compensate for the difficulty of switching race, zerg race in general and the imbalance. ofcourse it will take a while to adapt so i dont see why anyone would use my loss streak as an argument in any decision right now | ||

I know its not really an option for you MorroW, since sc2 prolly is your main source of income. But could you play a tournie as zerg? You have said yourself the skillcap is pretty low so it shouldnt be a problem, right? You have the aggressive expanding attittude already (which makes you one of the best terrans), so zerg shouldnt be that hard,,, I might be wrong though. You have good mechanics so it would be nice to see you play something that didnt rely on OP units and OP harass. If you started winning as zerg you would become a friggin hero. | ||

Sadly yes at the moment Terran players don't get a lot of recognition for winning because the scales are not balanced. I honestly hope you do well with Zerg, +1 Zerg and -1 Terran in tournaments is a win in my book anyday (Getting a bit tired of watching TvTs :D). | ||

YES, here is the real question people. this is the exact question ive been walking around with in my pocket after 5 days of beta. this is the exact thing i want to figure out by testing out zerg, is it harder or is sc2 in general just too easy this topic is what i value far beyond any balance, who is better than who, is the game fun to watch discussions | ||

invite morrow and idra to play vs each other at a LAN Bo5 finals for a lot of money. maybe ESL should do it? they could make an event out of it, maybe even invite a lot of other players. maybe they could expand it to 16 players instead of 2 then more ppl would go watch. and they could have qualifiers for the players and some invites too. maybe have it in germany since thats where ESL has a big presence... not berlin though maybe cologne? and fly the players there and have them play on a big stage. itd be awesome if we had something like that to decide whos better | ||

He probably got paired with someone slightly below himself in skill level and lost after seeing the opponent do a dozen mistakes, quality of which would mean autoloss if the opponent was playing Zerg. On September 29 2010 20:28 sadyque wrote: You know what would be more funny? Cool winning GSL and Morrow starting to wtfpwn with zerg. Mb then all zerg players will shut the fuck up about balance. They still won't, as Zerg will still be exceedingly unbalanced at lower levels of play where players do not have 850 APS. APS standing for actions per second. Where that "lower levels of play" encompasses some 99.99% of the total population of sc2. | ||

but just because idra is better doesnt mean he should win everything, or play perfect for that matter. if u see him lose or if he see himself lose shouldnt go right to the imbalance discussion because even flash and jaedong makes for upsets why do ppl want a grudge match, idra has a grudge against most ppl and i dont have any grudge against him rep pack inc!  of day 1 (yesterday) | ||
