im not playing zerg to back up my words, im playing zerg to find out if its any more fun than terran is, or any harder whatever. its starting to get boring in the long run to play sc2 terarn because its 10 times easier than sc1. i want challange and esport but sc2 is not hard at all. i play toss some games and won vs top level terrans and not even knowing hotkeys ... i just wish they made terran and protoss harder to play zerg was so difficult to play on mechanics than terran was, which makes me really tempted to switch  As for what he said there, he's probably right. The mechanics of the game are much easier then they were in BW. In a way I suppose that is good though because it leaves more room to reward strategy rather than mechanics, which personally I find to make games much more fun and entertaining. Just because the mechanics are easier doesn't make it easier to win, it just takes away a little bit of the emphasis on crazy apm and constant practice, but emphasizes the thinking part of the game. For those of you who think this is a bad thing, look at TLO. I think he is the perfect example of a player who takes advantage of this. His mechanics are not bad by any means, but he doesn't win games relying solely on good mechanics. He wins games by out thinking his opponents. | ||

So he needs at least get used to Zerg, you wouldn't expect him to be at the top ASAP. So it's going to lower him down a bit, eventually he'll rise back up if he's good enough. He could always be losing from little things that he simply doesn't have experience doing. For example, I played vs Strelok recently in a ZvZ. He outmicroed me with Zerglings despite me having great numbers, and I only won because he left like 15-20 Zerglings at hte bottom of my ramp which 3 banelings annihilated. It was all downhill from there. As Strelok learns shit like that, he'll quickly surpass me, if he hasn't already, and I'm sure the same is for Morrow. Although I'm not saying they'll be able to win tournies with Zerg... they just won't have THAT match history for long. Why can't there be more posters on TL like you. Balance/Imbalance discussion is becoming boring and not adding anything new. We all have a subjective view and try to push it onto to others in an objective way, but this is impossible. Morrow is a top tier player and always will be, because he puts the time and effort into the game to do so. He is experimenting with other races and not starting new threads every five seconds spouting imbalance. Imagine playing a game to have fun, be challenged mentally, and sharpen yourself as a person. Weird concept, am I right? | ||

Ladder rank means nothing unless there was a very particular reason to maintain a high ladder ranking to qualify for a specific tournament or something along those lines. Laddering is great in this case as the ladder is pretty damn good at matching you vs opponents of equal skill after enough time. Once Morrow's Z gets better and his "new" skill stabilizes he'll be getting equal games as he climbs back up or he could go back to his main and recoup those losses without a terrible amount of effort, especially as his rating will have fallen so far in comparison to what his Terran was And obviously he's losing most of his Zerg games what would anyone expect lol? He picks up Z and beats people who have been on 1 race as their main for however many months? | ||

I really think he can do well if he sticks with Zerg. I do believe zerg is underpowered, but I think he has the talent to get quite far, even with it. It'll also be interesting to see the perspective of a high level player who makes this transition. Good luck Morrow, and I hope you stick with z for awhile. | ||

I think it'll be a more honest evaluation of his Z basics. When his Z starts bringing him back up, then playing customs to test stranger strategies would make sense. | ||

If you lose, you ladder 50 Zerg games." o.O I wonder if it has to do with the claim IdrA made about MorroW never winning a tourney as a Zerg o-0 | ||

In fact, even the game they play dont matter because 99% of the top sc2 players were once great WC3 or SCBW players. This is so horribly, horribly wrong. Morrow could play BW 12 hours a day and he wouldn't even be good enough to take games off a pro b-team. IdrA couldn't even get close to qualifying for an OSL or MSL despite living in a korean progaming house and playing all those hours. Being a pro BW player is A LOT more difficult than being a pro SC2 player. And warcraft 3 is just a completely different skillset, I played W3 competitively for a couple of years, but when i made the switch to BW I was awful just like everyone else. Took me 2k games to get to C on iccup. | ||
