and the thing about 2 racepickers meeting each other. you are talking about a scenario that doesnt exist atm. nobody else but me is doing this, comon now. i talked to many progamers during my sc2 time who wanted to change races, but didnt have the balls or the motivation to give up their skill to start over. its not like theres suddenly gonna appear more race pickers now just because gsl allows this IMO
they could just make a simple flip-a-coin rule if 2 race pickers meet each other of who play zvt and who play tvz, i dont see the problem at all lol
Haha MorroW, i believe GGLastShadow also plays TVZ ZVT ZVP. He's also living in Korea so theres acutally a small chance of this happening.

He does xD. But if this happens it is just a matter of one of them playing T and the other Z like MorroW said.

Sadly, I can't remember which season it was, but I do KNOW, that racepicking HAS happened in the GSTL. I think it was a finals of season one. They sent out sum unk and tastosis was "and here they sent out a Z (?) to play in a ZvZ. Now this guy just switched from P (?).... Hang on, sorry, he's actually playing PvZ"
Or sumthing along those lines.
Also, if you look at the format of the new GSL, they allow foreigner invites, so this isnt in SPITE of some Korean, its actually a slot left open for foreigners.
Finally, Morrow said above that he wasn't an invite as a foreigner, but more as a top level player and his achievements in SC2

Wow, 24 pages for this. Seems like a lot of people are interested in the infested terran.
My biggest concern is how well he defends against cheese and early pressure as he never plays on the ladder and tbh I feel like laddering a lot is the best way to learn how to defend against cheese. Its probably the only area where playing ladder is better than playing practice partners.

Good luck to Morrow.
Always been a fan for some reason. Probably because macro is fun.

Awesome! And maybe you can pick up streaming again MorroW? Pretty please?

He was in Korea when the GSL WC was played, so he does have experience against korean players from the past. I've seen a couple of replays where he plays against some Korean Terrans, and he does quite fine against their aggressive style.

Amazing!! It's good that players realize that Korea is the place to be for StarCraft! I like the direct seed for the Up/Down next GSL, good luck to Morrow!
|
so are you alloud to switch races in GSL? since Morro w doesent play ZvZ, and only TvZ`? or will he have topick a race

I think morrow plays on ladder? At least when I watched his stream some time ago he had a gm smurf.

I'm really happy to hear this. I was getting really excited watching Morrow play a few months back and thought he was getting close to the point where many would consider him the best foreign Zerg. Then he just...like...disappeared. Can't wait to see how beastly he is in a few months!

He still has to practice 3 matchups just like everyone else, ZvP, ZvT and TvZ - oh wait...
Random is so hard because you need to practice 9 MU not 6.

All the best in Korea! Hope you practice hard, improve, and possibly make it a round or two into GSL Code A!

now you go get them MorroW!

On his regurlar account he doesn't have a lot of ladder games but a ton of custom games played. It wouldn't surprise me if he has a smurf though as you suggests but I haven't seen it myself.

This is awesome - one of my favourite players and my favourite team. Morrow is one of the most taleneted players in the world, I hope he can do well in code A...

MorroW against cheese.. well.
He's the only zerg i saw defend the 3 bunkers rush on Shakuras after the bunkers got up. :<
He's quite strong against cheese. Lot of casters will refere him as the most cheese proof player.

the main thing I am afraid of, to be honest, is koreans learning from MorroW.
