Best of luck to him! I still don't like that foreigners get GSL spots thrown at them for free though. They should earn them like everybody else.
|
I don't know why some of you think racepicking is hurting MorroW, he's beaten IdrA TvZ ffs
|
Sounds like he takes NASL very seriously. Going to Korea to train ~10 days before flying to NASL and missing DreamHack in the meanwhile...
|
|
Guess he'll have to learn some ZvZ now, good, ended up working out for players with similar problems in the past. Gl hf!
|
Very cool, good luck to him! Hope you get far in GSL
|
Finging A! Morrow is my favourite european player...gl and hf in Korea! I hope to see some games, maybe stream sometime please
|
yes indeed, it has been so so so so damn quiet about Morrow. Good luck Stefan!!!!!!!!!!!1
|
Wow, I had no idea that Morrow was going to Korea! Fantastic news, I wish him the best of luck <3

I think your logic is completely flawed. If the competition knows that he will be playing that race, what is the problem? It's an obvious disadvantage to Morrow have to learn more than one race (even if it is for only one match-up)

There got to be a swede succeeding in code A soon as many as we throw at them... ^_^

YES YES YES. MorroW is one of my favorite players (: .

You act as if a race switch doesn't cut both ways. Many players would rather play a ZvT than a ZvZ.

hope to see you own soon morrow, good luck!

Infested Terran HWAITING!!
Best of luck in Korea, look forward to seeing your improvement!

Finally!! Morrow fighting! :D:D:D

Because if two people doing that face each other, it becomes quite messy. The thing he does works so smoothly because it relies on nobody else besides him doing that. (and he's not the only zerg hating zvz) Uhm, it's not rocket science... As an organizer you just have to tell them to make a decision by a certain time. They'd most likely just pick their main race if they aren't sure what the other player would choose. There are a multitude of ways you could do this without any messiness. And I fail to see how it's relevant that other zergs are hating zvz.
nvm then, forget what I said.
guess I just have a general dislike towards players who shun a certain matchup and decide to race pick to get around with. seems like he's taking a cheap way out to me, while all other players decide to suck it up and stamp it as something that comes along with playing the race . :-/
Oh, and the "and" is suppose to be a logical "and".
edit: anyways, just personal opinion of a random user, not to be taken that seriously. not that i have any objective reason for the opinion that I have

He shouldnt be allowed to race pick. First off, as a competitive gamer your suppose to take the highs and lows of your race, not just selectively grabbing at whatever is easiest. More importantly, it allows for a dangerous possibility of two race pickers and incompatibility. Morrow plays terran against zerg, but maybe the guy he ends up playing, plays terran when he faces a terran? So morrow goes zerg to play a zvt, and the guy goes back to his original zerg, etc etc. Not only does that force an awkward situation, any fix [such as just doing the mirror] just produces sloppy and incompetent games. I expect people to, in a sense, suffer with their race. I expect a certain degree of competence by a player if he goes against a random and gets a bad matchup, and so on. Thats why I prefer the BW style of just saying, no, you can not play random, and no you can not race pick. Not to mention in the long term morrow is shooting himself in the foot. You cant play two races forever, the competition will raise to a point he wont be able to follow.
