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. 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. Uhm what? Idra played horrible in the iem final. In general he is the superior player, but don't act like he never make mistakes himself. | ||

On the other hand, people can play whatever race they want to for whatever reason. It's like playing a certain race means a big deal. If Zerg ever becomes imba are all Zergs going to stay noble and switch to other races to stick it to the man? Nah, you'll stick with that race because it's what you know and everyone likes to win. | ||

Why bother switching to Zerg to find out if it's easy? Why not dedicate more than 0-2 hours to the game and actually have a career if you're so confident you can be at the top. Because money should not be the reason why you play a game. It's a reaction. To me this seems like an obvious choice for MorroW if he doesn't really enjoy terran as much as he did in BW. The reason I play BW is the kick of adrenaline I get everytime. I have a feeling this goes for MorroW aswell. - If you don't get that kick, then it's not really worth the effort. | ||

I doubt that he can just fly to SK for a month when he has to attend school. Might be a reason. | ||

He said he was suprised you were the 17th player as you should have been seeded in from the start. Something like that. Anyways, with all the SC2 pro's switching race, or threatening to switch race, it's good to see someone moving towards it. I'm looking forward to a replay pack once you feel you've mastered the race. | ||

In a game with three races there is bound to be power fluctuations even if one of the races really is a bit UP. | ||

I think I personnaly enjoy the fact that you dropped 18 % win rate now that you are on the KR ladder. Proves how people shouldn't take someone like you seriously when there are real zerg's out there on real teams like oGs and Prime. | ||

The morrow hate is amazing and a bit understandable, the reaper rush made him the real anti-zerg!. P.S: IdrA+Morrow both in the same thread = LOL. | ||
