I think it's stupidly unfair that he gets to choose his race.
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. He only plays TvZ... He's Zerg vs Protoss and Terran. 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? There's none, morons are morons. The only morons are those who call others morons for bringing up a good point. But your point is not a good point. Tell me how would you feel, if at any of the MLGs, at the height of 1/1/1, if Idra announced before each tournament, "I will be playing Terran against Protoss." Gives him more time to just focus on ZvT and ZvZ because the 1/1/1 was so easy to do, any pro level player could perform a well executed one within a week or 2 of practice. How is that fair? In any way. How is it fair that Puma plays Terran against Protoss? Gives him more time to just focus on TvZ and TvT because the 1/1/1 was so easy to do any pro level player could perform a well executed one within a week or 2 of practice. How is that fair? In any way. (For those not getting sarcasm, I was merely being sarcastic. I think the game is extremely balanced at the moment, especially in TvZ, which makes your point moot. ). Because vP wasn't his worst matchup. This rule allows players to specifically get around their worst matchup not through skill, but through any exploitable strategy that is around at the time. It's like playing random with all the advantages of playing random, but none of the disadvantages.
Morrow almost always play very macro and standard based tvz, so you can stfu with ur QQ now please.

Why can't Morrow just practice ZvZ more?
Has it always been a rule that you can do this, or did GSL just make an exception for Morrow?
If its the later then I agree with the notion that people should be allowed to switch race and 1/1/1 against Protoss then for the same reasons they're letting Morrow play TvZ.

Go MorroW! Make us swedes proud!
When we have both Jinro and MorroW, SWEDEN WILL RULE ALL OF KOREA

Why have we seen random players in the GSL then? Obviously the random players have favored match ups so why do they leave it to chance instead of just simply race picking. They have already made an exception with his free ride into Code A so they can do it again.

The beast awakens... I always liked his play: very measured and boss-like

Amazing news! Good luck Morrow! :D

LOL at people fussing over race-picking. Starcraft (from BW to SC2) has always allowed race-picking if their choices are stated at the start of the tournament. For instance, someone can make this stipulation:
I'll play terran, unless:
- If it's Bel'shir Beach or Crossfire, then I'll play zerg.
- If it's Calm Before the Storm, then I'll play protoss.
- If I'm playing Ryung or Cllliiiiiddddeeee, then I'll play protoss irregardless of the map.
- If it's a zerg opponent then I'll play zerg, but not if I'm playing on Calm Before the Storm.
This is clearly stated prior to the tournament starting - someone is not allowed to make changes midway during the tournament. As for 2 people who make potentially conflicting stipulations - then it's a bridge we will have to cross (if it ever happens... like 0.0001% chance).

HOLY FUCK YES GOGO MORROW OMGWTF ITS ABOUT TIME HE DID THIS        
P.S. Jinro + SaSe + NaNiWa + MorroW = Swedish invasion continues lol....
|
I think you all is take this the wrong way, who cares if he plays tvz or zvz? its o foreigner with a chance to take out the most of the korean code a players, and its of course more fun to watch a player from "sweden" then a korean player just cuz they are foreigners! Sure its bad that the other foreigners gets knocked out in the first round, but if no one tries we wont see any jinro semi finals in code s again!.
|
Lol, I almost forgot Morrow exists. I have not been watching this season NASL and I have not seen him compete anywhere else. I hope he does well in Korea and in WCG.
|
EDIT: Wrong thread. I really need to stop doing this.
|
Nice, my favourite zerg is back! Best of luck Morrow! :D
|
Good luck morrow hopefully you become twice the player you are already!!!
|
I hope every tournament will allow race switching.
|
I just wish Thorzain and Sjow had stayed as well.

His free ride isn't an exception... They have invited top foreigners that goes to Korea a place in the gsl since a long time back, so that analogy fails hard.
Of course they could have made an exception specifically for Morrow but it's more likely just that very few players wants to learn and practise two races. The few random players that have played in the gsl is not proof of anything. Maybe they didn't ask or just prefered having the "random factor" over their opponents, getting the slight advantage of their opponents not knowing their race at the start.

This is SO awesome. Except for totally destroying his NASL group, there was no Morrow to be seen in the last few months, which made me quiet sad, since in my book he's still the best european Zerg, despite all the Stephano and Nerchio hype, and Ret being a beast lately. Also there's always Dima, but he's a bit camera shy too.
