Replay pack: none
gonna play terran fulltime for 1-3 weeks to wrap up my last going tournaments with hopefully nice results. i have decided to switch to zerg so i will stop sign up for new tournaments until i am at least 2k rating with zerg.
once i finish these ongoing tournaments i will start practice zerg with all my practice time
sry for no replay pack. will start updating this thread once im back on track with z
there is a possibility that i decide to switch back to terran once again in the future but as it is right now im pretty convinced that i want to be a zerg user


There are only 11 non-korean Zergs (and something like 20 with korea) over 2k points, compared to 28 non-korean Terrans. Not that I don't think you can make 2k+, I just think you could play tournaments much earlier than that. You may be waiting quite a while before you get 2k+ with Zerg.

Who said this?
A bronze zerg?

everone who i talked to and pretty much all mediocre zerg gamers upwards. everyone on IEM seemed to agree that neutral parasite wasnt underused, it was just so bad that it wasnt worth getting.
personally i feel the best way to counter the thor hellion tank play is just by roaches lings and infestors. yep, no mutalisk :p if u spread infestors well o nthe map they neglect hellion harass just as well

Hey morrow, awesome thread, could u put a very small description on the replays when u go saving them? thanks

wayy too much work, infact im gonna start updating this once every third day or so for bigger packs instead of updating it every day as i realized i only played 8~ games some days which is just not alot to watch )

Morrow, what are your thoughts on the muta, ling baneling, composition that is found in a lot of tvz matchups, now that you've seen it from both side?

well its great vs bio play, but as soon as the terran throws in some tanks to deal with the banes i either need a more costy army or throw in infestors to beat this. but since a zerg can get 3base i still think its pretty fair game as far as early midgame goes anyway. the composition is great for nullifying the armies so its best just to use for grab many bases quickly as u will need to compensate for the gas heavy army. but later on zergs will have to mix it up ofcourse, and its not like u can muta ling baneling vs any terran army in the midgame aswell. its a nice style but zergs shouldnt feel its the only way to play at all. ive just felt so strong with roach ling infestor even vs bio


Good to see this. I have been free winning against mass thor hellion for so long with roach ling infestor and people seem to just start saying "oh well tanks can snipe them lol". Its not like infestors are bad against hellion/barracks/tanks either.

Wow, that's suprising. I like that decision, hopefully IdrA will do what he has promised when you finally will win a tournament as Zerg

Wow, a (probable) permanent switch. Not gonna lie, I was pretty skeptical that he would actually stick with it. The swarm has gained quite a skillful player in MorroW. He did leave himself some wiggle room at the end with that disclaimer though, lol.

Wow, I didn't think you would ever make a full switch. Looking forward to seeing your progression in a few months.

it's interesting that you never stated any problems with the drone mechanic..
It's maybe just me but i struggle big time with it while most other things are quite easy to manage

Hope you can get good with zerg and compete at the top with em. Even if you dont, we still get to see less TvT in tournaments, so a win either way!

I must say it is a very daring move to switch races but I'm sure you have the dedication and skill required.

I've enjoyed watching your replay packs and only have one or two things I noted. In the day6 replay pack you have a ZvT game vs. IaV (or something like that) where you do crazy good micro of your zerglings against his reaper build and end up crushing the reapers badly.

This results in him hardly having any army and you have quite a few zerglings around 40 or so. You can't break into his main but you do let him take his expansion without using putting any pressure on him. I think you could at the minimum forced him to throw down bunkers and delayed his expansion for some time. You later loose for other reasons which you probably spotted but I thought maybe you didn't spot this.

Lastly day9 just had a newbie tuesday (featuring among others the "newbie" fruitmerchant) focusing on zerg drone production which I think was great in highlighting the importance of larva as a resource. You probably know most of the stuff but maybe there is a thing or two you could find useful.

Also I have to thank you for the thread it has helped me decide to go back to playing zerg full time. I played mainly zerg in the beta but burned out due to a misconception of lack of options. (The whole I don't have any unit combo that is just a death ball, that I think is at the core of many of the complaints about the race).

I switched to playing random and found lots of pleasure in learning all the match ups and playing cooky strategies. But then I hit a new wall where I just didn't know the timings of the match ups and I don't have the time to learn all match ups with all races.

So now I'm back with zerg and playing the macro oriented style similar to yours that I enjoy very much. Nothing is sweeter than just gathering enough momentum to squash the opponents meager army after he has tried to hit you again and again.

Awesome write-up man, as a 'less-than-stellar' Zerg player I really enjoy your replays and the thought process behind them! I'm really looking forward to more.
Blerg!

This news makes me so unbelievably happy. The potential for innovation here is so high.

I can't wait to see what you can do as a polished zerg MorroW. Your control as terran was so impressive...I can't wait to see the potential for that in you as a zerg user.

good luck and I'll be rooting for you =D

Sweet guess im not the only one. I've been trying to switch to Zerg because i like the fact that isnt harder.

Many people have been complaining that its too hard, but hard is fun in the long run. The reason i played Terran in BW was because it was the hardest and i wanted the satisfaction of playing and being GOOD.

Currently i feel T and P are too easy and im getting bored of playing them. People want Blizzard to make Zerg Easier.

Don't make the other races harder. Harder = more fun. Thats why BW was great.
