Race picking have been allowed for a lot of foreign tournaments (I usually check the rules of the tournaments I'm watching) and yet Morrow is the only high profile name I can think of that does this. The whole, "oh noez, players will pick terran and 1-1-1 protoss players" and the equivallent reasonings are nothing more than irrational fears. | ||

I dont really care, I cant really see a valid reason not to allow it as long as you announce it in advance and stick to it through the tournament. Every player has to practice and play three matchups. | ||

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. A lot of foreigners did it in BW too so they could avoid their mirror matchup... Ret used to play ZvT ZvP TvZ but switched to ZvZ when he moved to Korea because race picking wasn't allowed in Korean BW. As long as the GSL permits it I don't see the problem...it's not like he's doing it to exploit a specific opponent's weaker matchup. Also Morrow always TvZ now, so your point about choosing to confuse an opponent or give yourself a statistical advantage is kinda null... | ||

Haha I think ( don't quote me on that ) it was versus Select on Shakuras ( obviously ) during one of the Shoutcraft invitational ( the TotalBiscuit's Tournament ) It's quite old now tho, like a few month. But he defended the rush after the bunkers got up, and without losing the hatchery. | ||
