What is this supposed to prove? Why is being a dick to someone trying to learn to play Z productive for you?

I think I could be tapped for $5 of the Morrow vs Idra grudge-match fund.
Somebody should put the match together with like $200 and hit the community for back-payment, lots of people would find that a match worth paying for.

Personally I think Idra would dodge such a match. I think he is without a doubt the better Zerg but I also think he is scared that Morrow might become better.
Well don't see the point of insulting another player that much. Morrow could be a 300 points diamond player and I'd still appreciate his effort.
Morrow I wish you all the best and I'm sure you will get better soon with that race you have chosen.
Idra I wish you better luck with GSL 2 maybe that will calm you down a little and boost your self - confidence so that you don't need to BM other players who are trying new ways.

If there's money on the line I highly highly doubt idra will dodge.

1. Morrow's zerg is getting better. 2. He is benefiting from an MMR that got flushed down the toilet. 3. He played some terran games.
My guess is #3. "gonna play terran fulltime for 1-3 weeks to wrap up my last going tournaments with hopefully nice results." You 'guessed' right

Morrow was a pretty good terran, sure. But to think that he will excel at the level of Idra, or the Korean zergs which are even better is ridiculous. You don't plunge that low on ladder, 1390 points, even after recently learning the race if you're halfway decent.
Morrow won't stand a chance against Idra in a grudge match, even with months of practice.

You should watch how MorroW owns other terrans like SeleCT, qxc, drewbie... He is really on another level. Maybe not same as IdrA but he is definitely better than you have described.

that would be boring. idra would crush morrow. if not because of imbalance, then because idra has probably played a lot more games of terran than morrow has played of zerg. (in the state of the game podcast two weeks ago he said that he was unsure which race to play, which probably means that he's still practicing with terran from time to time).

Il pitch on that bowl seriously though this needs to happen I'd pitch in too.

For the sake of the pride of logic reasoning the possible explainations are:
1. Morrow is not able to be a good zerg player (which seems to be your choice) 2. Morrow has the ability to become a good zerg player but he needs more time than others to get good at it (at least your expectation of the time the "others" need) 3. Zerg is a harder race to master than terran (which I think is actually a point made by Morrow himself). 4. Mix of 2 and 3
I am not a Morrow fan, by the way, I actually watched the GSL just to see yours and TLO's games (and Fruit after he was the only Z left), but I just hate when someone's analytical skills fail to properly analyze a situation.
TL;DR version: are you not being a little fast at dismissing Morrow as a fail Z player?

no he is not being a little fast at dsmissing morrow as a fail z player, infact he is not dismissing the fact that morrow is a fail zerg player at all.

Idra's comments about Morrow are reminiscent of his views on Nony and Ret back in the day. Now he disingenously props them up to his level in order to discredit/slander Morrow. Obviously, Morrow needs to beat him a few more times before Idra moves on to the next up and comer (to put them down). It's sad really.

I am not sure about what you meant. But my guess is that you meant "...infact he is not dismissing morrow as a fail zerg player at all" (adding "the fact" you made that the subject and essentially your phrase had the same meaning as the sentence you wrote right before that). - I am no trying to be a grammar nazi or similar, I honestly am not sure what you meant, altough I'd say my guess is right with 99% probability -
In the case I correctly understood, then I would suggest you to reread what IdrA wrote. The first sentence alone defenetly can have many implications, but when you read the second one too, the only one really left is essentially point 1 of my previous post. Altough he could have just expressed his thoughts in a misleading way... but for many reasons I do not think IdrA failed at express what he really meant.

Remember when MorroW beat IdrA in the finals at IEM? Good Times! Still an IdrA fan though

How can we forget? Idra reminds us all the time. Idra's so butt-hurt about it, he follows Morrow around and constantly harasses him on the forums. He's threatened by a guy who isn't a fulltime pro and doesn't practice dozens of hours a day. Why? Well, what if Morrow actually gets good with zerg putting in 1/4 of the hours Idra does? Gonna make him look pretty stupid...

I switched from toss to zerg recently and I can't decide which I like better. I think zerg is harder but more rewarding when you win games. Plus being macro intensive and forcing yourself to play faster seems to come with zerg, which feels good. But, keep it up MorroW, glad you're trying new things. GL HF
