I think MorroW had some inside dope. He plans to switch full time to Zerg in a few weeks... which should approximately coincide with ... MASSIVE ZERG BUFFS.

Encouraging to see pro players learn from other race strats. Otherwise, you really just get the same meta game match up all the time with very little variation. Its the blending of race strats that often lead to interesting and unusual match up. GO MORROW!

Great news, comrade MorroW! Terran and Toss will learn to fear the roach! I hope these buffs will help you on your way to the top, but IdrA might claim 1.2 invalidates you proving him wrong about imbalance. Beating him in a tournament will have to suffice

Switching from T to Z right when patch is arriving, this is what we call "gosu timing".

I think MorroW is really capable of winning a tournament after the patch. His mechanics are very good from what I've seen in his TvTs. GoGo MorroW, Do it!

Forgive me I'm overlooking it but where does it say he's going zerg full time? The OP says this is for messing around on the ladder. Why is everyone acting like he's gonna compete in money games with zerg

I think Morrow should just clear things up a bit on the OP so people don't get too confused about tournaments and such he is indeed switching full force zerg.

Any time frame as how you feel right now when we will see you playing in tourneys or atleast some show matches as Zerg?

I don't speak for Morrow, but reading this and other threads he has posted in I get the feeling he thought terran was too "easy" to play and that zerg offers a higher skill ceiling along with the challenge.

Intotherainbow thought Zerg and Protoss were too easy and picked Terran then.

when he picked he didn't know sc2 terran was that easy

he probably did like me to just assume terran was the hardest race in this game aswell

ofcourse it was an ongoing process for weeks, months but when i saw naama vs sjow in a tvt replay in some finals where both reached 1k minerals on 1base where sjow even had half his production qued up for another 500 probably pretty much was the last drip.
no offense to them obviously as ive seen toss replays over the last days where our top level tosses doing the exact same thing.
then afterwards same day winning 2-1 vs sjow improvising a sort of copy of his build he beat with me last time where ive been playing zerg for a week without any terran practice what so ever. feels like iem all over again winning without putting in the hours needed to be deserved.
these r the 2 terrans along with select who has been impressing me the most lately so it felt kind of like a heartbreak after watching that

I'm sorry but, whether or not terran is "easy" or "boring" It doesn't seem right that you keep saying you've won all these tournaments left and right saying "I never even practiced." While it may be true, you repeating yourself so many times makes it seem like you think you've reached the highest skill possible with terran. A lot of people won't buy it because this game is so new and so many insanely good players have not had their run yet (IE. GSL2). I would really like to see you dominate GSL before I accept this arrogant personality you come with. It just leaves a bad taste and I'm sure many people would agree. I don't mind arrogant people as long as I know they have a right to be.

Either way, good luck with your road to dominance with zerg.

He's not saying he's reached the highest possible skill with Terran, he's saying that the skill he has when not practicing is sufficient enough to win those tournaments...

Yes, that is a very direct interpretation of his words. Words also imply things also when repeated.

lol imba abuser...

if you switch to zerg right around when the big buff comes, everyone will just think you are playing whatever race is "best". That certainly wont help your reputation

That's why he does it BEFORE the buffs, then when the buff does come, he will wield godly power!

I think it's great whenever anyone has the determination to switch races at a high level. Keep up the good (getting better...) work!

reread his latest edit of the OP:

"
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"

Good timing on the switch, buffed roach range, reaper cheese out of the game, i'm worried about playing terran with those monster roaches. I might follow Morrow's example and switch too (to protoss of course, i hate zerg).

edit: @below: Yea, sorry. You're absolutely right, that is how threads derail. It's just that sometimes it's so hard to resist.

Ehm, guys... This thread is not about Balance. Is about discussing Morrow's games and maybe his expressed opinions with him. So hold back
