Today we are happy to announce that MouZ.Morrow will be the 2nd foreigner invite to the ESV TV/Twitch TV Grand Prix #1!
MorroW has been a long staple of the foreign BW scene, going as far back as Brood War and has now been living in Korea in the NsHS teamhouse to refine his skills!
MorroW is widely considered the best player that has switched races during SC2, going from originally Terran to Zerg, and in the process proving himself to be a strong front runner at any tournament.
His most notable tournament win was of course the IEM Gamescon 2010 tournament, in which he won the first ever major LAN event held in SC2 history! Wowing the world then with his 5 rac reaper rush, he is now impressing with Zerg taking 2nd in Shoutcraft Invitational #1, and 1st for the WCG Sweden Qualifiers!
We are very happy to have such a strong and great player representing the foreign scene int his tournament, and now have a full lineup for this event starting soon!

Awesome! Sweet tournament with great prize :D (MorroW actually also placed 2nd at Assembly winter 11 in a ZvZ final vs Ret - if he were to win the GP I wonder if ASUS ROG would have different rules and allow him to TvZ).

What about Byun or MarineKing (both P -> T)?
This is kind of a silly argument to have though, fortunately Morrow will have a chance to prove his own worth.

Did MKP ever play Protoss in sc2? I know he did in BW but that doesnt seem fair to include.
