I don't like that Morrow is basically getting a free Code A spot, and that he is going to be allowed an exception on a rule that has been around forever. Just because he is a fan favorite does not mean he should be able to bypass this kind of stuff, just undermines the tournament as a whole. At least make him qualify through MLG... Wait.. There's a rule that prevents race picking in GSL? Never heard of that in a sc2 tournament, preventing race picking seems like such a kespa style bureaucracy move. | ||

I believe it was mostly so you couldn't play as zerg for the whole tournament, then on the day of your next match show up as terran or something to completely baffle your oppenent. Idk though, something like that. | ||

If I am correct then I think there needs to be mass education and we need to stop saying "foreigner to Code A" and start saying "foreigner to GSL" and point out that they will be thrown directly into up/down matches. | ||

No idea. I know it is a rule though. Just speculating there. (Most logical reason in my eyes) | ||

Also I thought the new format throws foreigners directly into up/down matches NOT Code A.

I don't think there's a fine distinction. GSL virtually inserts them anywhere. The new format allows 2 foreigners to enter up/downs right away, but that doesn't seem to put a limit on the number of foreigners they would allow into Code A on any merit. | ||

Think of his opponent. Morrow knows the race of his opponent. He can practice his intended matchup, but his opponent is left guessing. Will he be playing Terran? Will he be playing Zerg? And think about how the tournament goes on. Imagine Morrow is in the finals. He played Zerg all the way until that point. Then he switches to Terran for the finals. He'll have loads upon loads of replays to watch against his opponent. His opponent will only see his Zerg play. What of imbalance? What if there is an imbalance that is discovered, but not yet fixed by Blizzard? Should it be ok that someone is just allowed to exploit that imbalance by simply switching whenever he feels like it? If he wants to play ZvT and ZvP, but not play ZvZ, he should have to play random and pray he gets lucky. I don't think Morrow will do that well, but the fact he can choose the matchup he wants is stupid and goes completely against the spirit of competition. I hate PvP. Does that mean I can choose Terran whenever I get matched up against Protoss? It'll be nice, I can 1/1/1 him. 1/1/1 in fact is a good example of the crap you can do with switching races because of the ease of that strategy . Seriously, imagine 1 month ago, when no one knew how to deal with the 1/1/1. Imagine if Idra who historically has had issues against MC, just said, yeah I'm going to play Terran and do 1/1/1 this game. | ||

Most tournaments that have allowed him to racepick have only allowed him to play TvZ. It means he MUST play Terran against Zerg and Zerg vs Protoss and Terran. He can't switch midway through tournament. If the opponent is Zerg, they know they should practice vs Terran. If the opponents are Protoss or Terrans, they practice against Zerg. What's the difficulty? | ||
