Zerg is nothing like it was in 1.0, and its actually amazing any zergs won anything in 1.0 You also forgetting the numerous nerf to terran: Tank dmg, reaper, bunker build time, depot before rax, drop ship speed, etc etc BUT we all are taking away credit away from morrow who is an A+ RTS player. so stop beating on the dead horse! I am amazed at so many Europeans, including morrow can play sc2 on 4:3 resolution, they are missing half of the screen!!! | ||

He said playing terran was artifically inflating Morrows win percentage making him look much more skilled then he was and comparing how Morrow was doing preswitch and how Morrow has done post switch (even recently) and the fact the Morrow himself has stated that as Zerg some games you just autolose due to where you spawn it would seem he was right. He has since then called Morrow one of the best non-korean zergs. | ||

So him now calling MorroW one of the best non-korean zergs shows IdrA already conceded. | ||

So him now calling MorroW one of the best non-korean zergs shows IdrA already conceded. Not at all. If anything it has somewhat solidified IdrA's original point, which you're glazing over and instead focusing on quoting and misinterpreting a select portion of it. He did not say Morrow would remain a terrible zerg for all time, but stated at the time he'd still be gold (obviously an exaggeration, but unprovable either way). The fact that Morrow went from doing well consistently at the time to not having won anything big since is exactly what IdrA was getting at. Saying IdrA has "conceded" would imply he was proven wrong... which he couldn't be (since one was speculation), he hasn't been (since Morrow hasn't won YET), and wouldn't matter if he does win (the changes since would have altered the comment and the time it has taken would prove the point). All that being said, IdrA has since said (as in the post you quoted) that Morrow is a good player. His abilities have also been shown in other tournaments (even if not winning them), so I don't think anybody doubts Morrow's ability. The underlying theme in all of IdrA's posts was that Zerg is UP (especially at the time) and the Terran at the time had been winning tournaments based more on balance than on ability. He might have taken a shot at Morrow in the process too, but don't only read that and ignore the rest of the message. | ||

I like how you expect someone to win big money tournaments without having ever played a race before. Up to the point of not even knowing what their key bindings are. Very valid assumption of you..........right. | ||

Where in my post did I say, suggest, or imply that I expected Morrow, or anybody, to switch races and immediately win tournaments? + Show Spoiler + Better luck next time though Morrow, still one of the best zergs in Europe and losing to Ret is no shame, obv. | ||

BTW, looking back, blizz made a very bad adjustment to nerf reaper so hard. With the range burf of roach, reaper nerf is so unnecessary. Considering tier-1 unit using in 99.9% of games right now: zergling/roach/baneling, zealot/stalker/sentry yet Terran only use marine/marauder. Reaper become a complete joke. | ||

Terran doesn't need another early game option that looks the same way as another when you scout, but requires an entirely different respone. | ||

But I REALLY REALLY hate your fans. And wish there was an ignore function on this boards so I would never see posts from half the guys posting above me. I would like you to show that you're better than these guys and understand what Idra said back then, and even more so, take that for what it was, a rage moment, and forget about it. You're man enough to do that, but most your fans are not. | ||

No matter what Idra said, Morrow is a great player. Ret is one of the best Zerg's in the world (besides loosing to cheese) and the series was very close. Ret just performed Roach very well, and Morrow had a hard time stopping it. It happens to the best of us. Everyone stop flaming TL so hard, especially when someone puts them self out to the community. | ||
