IdrA said that if he switched it would be to protoss, not terran.

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...

Idra isn't attacking Morrow, he is pointing out that zerg is just so much harder that you can't switch from the other races to it and be competitive with your same skill set. This is in line with Morrow saying that he is playing zerg because it is so much harder.

Wow! IdrA (T) vs MorroW (Z). I would love to see this. Grudge match and what not aside (I don't really care about that), I think it would be a very educational match to watch.

And as much as I respect you MorroW for (1) playing Zerg on your main account whilst letting your rating tank, (2) providing such a valuable resource for lower level Zergs to learn the play better, (3) and also openly acknowledging Terran imba, as a Terran player....I have to root for IdrA.

Then again....he will be playing Terran. :-/



IdrA, 3-0! IdrA hwaiting!

EDIT: I'll forgo lunch one day and contribute 5$ to this match (I know, tons of $$$$$). If enough people contribute, it could make this pretty interesting. xD

What IdrA wrote may indeed mean that. BUT, the way he wrote it hint at different interpretation:

"you people realize hes a 1400 zerg on europe, and still falling, after more than a week of practice, right?"

"still" implies that 1400 is failing at playing (of course it could instead imply that Morrow is failing at getting better)
Then follows a time statement, which can serve no point other than showing an expectation that, by that time, someone should be able to do better (otherwise it is just a statement that gives an information which serves no purpose - aka fail at communication because it become a misleading information).

Thus, as I already wrote, what you said IS a possible interpretation, and is probably IdrA's opinion about the Z vs other races playing difficulty, BUT the "attack" interpretation is very possible too ("still failing") and is a more direct interpretation of what he wrote.

Considering the background of IdrA vs Morrowit kind of seems the most likely one. Also, there are many other possible ways to write what you say IdrA meant, and amongst them IdrA chose one which is much more easyly read as an attack. Maybe he was indeed attacking Morrow?
And if he wasn't he defenetly is really bad with words and does not choose them very carefully.
And I won't even start trying to think about his subconscious coming out in those words, as another possible way to try to understand the precise choice of words.


TL;DR: Occam's Razor anyone?

it's so funny how idra is complaining about the netcode but cellawerra is the #1 zerg on the NA server....

well, so what? cella plays a ton of games and alot of Z's on NA don't ladder like crazy or don't play that well. it's not difficult to become #1 zerg on NA compared to korea SEA europe. cella also plays lower quality opponents than morrow, and so latency issues are not as big of a deal, also idras internet may not be up to snuff compared to cellas there are alot of reasons for the shitty latency that Bnet gives.

EDIT: just because cella is used to bad latency doesn't mean idra is.

MorroW has given up. Look at his match history. He's only playing Terran because he knew that switching to Zerg would destroy his career. I'm glad he's finally come around and realised it now.
