EPTMorrow had like 75% win rate as Terran in the past and was winning every single tournament he entered to. After he switched, he didn't had nearly as much sucess, but just because he is indeed a very solid player he is starting to have some sucess when there isn't anyone of his level playing against him.

Terran is like America's economy in 2004. Lotsa middle-class, and lots of rich wall street fags. Protoss is like the economically unattainable state of equal porportions of ppl in each level. | ||

Huh? http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Morrow IEM was his ONLY major win as terran... Btw, the beta wins are weekly tourneys... Seriously, this canard has gone on for so long. "Idra is just 100x better than anybody else. If the game were balanced, he would win everything." "FruitDealer is just 100x better than anybody else..." "NesTa is just 100x better..." "Ret is just 100x better..." "Dimaga is just 100x better..." There was some background drama between MorroW and Idra before the final, Idra called MorroW out in a SC2 Beta Interview as a player who isn't "supposed to be able to beat players like Dimaga, because he's just ten times more skilled." | ||

Also bizarre that zergs keep winning these huge events (ZvZ finals...?) and we still nod our heads in unison whenever it's said that zerg is just soooo weak. So weak. MorroW didn't win nor has he faced the caliber of competition in Korea. Ret did win and he has been bitching as much as Idra about the state of zerg. I guess you don't really have a point then. That's okay, you can borrow mine: At the highest levels of competitive Starcraft 2, the player consensus is that Zerg is somewhat underpowered. Nestea>Ret==Idra>MorroW as far as clout goes. | ||

When he finally does win a big tourney, I want idra to never use the word "balance" ever again, like he promised :D Apparently the number of people who think that would be funny is around 1... | ||

You people and your elaborate stipulations. Soz, I don't got any quotes of IdrA saying, "Zerg is impossible in Korea but viable at things like Assembly where everybody is low-level." | ||

He made an off-hand remark or two from time to time, but that hardly classifies as "as much as Idra". Idra is the only player (unless we count Artosis as well) that has been on a permanent balance crusade since beta. Other players do mostly what players are supposed to do in the first place - just play the damn game.

Players will just complain out of frustration when they don't accomplish what they would have liked to. It's normal, really. The fact, though, is that every top Zerg player has had a major tournament win both on Korean and foreign scene. Looks perfectly fine to me. | ||

It's kind of like me saying, "If this moron can score past a 70 on an IQ test, I'll eat my hat." Then the aforementioned person scores a 90 on the IQ test and now people are calling me out on my quote, saying I should eat my hat. That's kind of missing the point. I mean, why ignore the message and take words literally? It doesn't make much sense. | ||

He said the same thing when he played Terran tho, so uh... Surprise? -_- Nobody seriously thinks close spawn on Metal is balanced lol | ||
