I won't go over everything, but basically dimaga helped MorroW prepare for Idra by showing him the reaper build he used. MorroW also goes into his past with Idra, interesting stuff. He calls him at around 7:30 but the whole show was really good, you should check it out. Pretty crazy considering what dimaga has had to say recently. On Weapon of Choice ep9, djWheat and Chill called MorroW to interview him about his IEM win.I won't go over everything, but basically dimaga helped MorroW prepare for Idra by showing him the reaper build he used.

So MorroW went in to the tournament preferring to go FE against Zerg but quickly learned the strength of reaper openings when watching DeMuslim and others play.



DIMAGA then educates MorroW in the fine arts of the reaper so that he can prove to the world how imbalanced the strategy is.



But what isn't clear in the interview is if DIMAGA helped MorroW out at an early stage (even before the semifinals) or in preparation for the game against Idra?



EDIT: Probably was in preparation for the finals as MorroW mentions how he stayed at the venue to practice after the semifinals while everyone else were of partying But MorroW did use reapers to good effect against DIMAGA... there are holes to fill in this story. I found that extremely interesting.

Pretty amazing he learned that build last minute and used it pretty well (unless I misunderstood and dimaga showed him that build well in advance of the lan)

OR the reaper opening is extremely easy to learn as you only need to learn the basic BO and then remember to make scvs and learn how to reaper micro. On top of that you get taught the build by very impressive T and Z players who have practiced with each other so much on mTw that they have learned the build inside out. Seems fairly ezpz, not impressive to me. OR the reaper opening is extremely easy to learn as you only need to learn the basic BO and then remember to make scvs and learn how to reaper micro.

I agree the strat seems a bit easy. Against most zerg its going to own them straight up. Players like IdrA and Dimaga are sooooo skilled yet can only stop it "IF" the Terran player makes a few mistakes and they play it perfectly. It really is very clear that reapers are imbalanced in TvZ. I agree the strat seems a bit easy. Against most zerg its going to own them straight up.

It may be for amateurs like you and me, but in a professional competition it's within fairplay and code of conduct, this is the same as any sport, and I think we want to consider e-sports also a part of sports.

Rodiel Profile Joined August 2006 France 572 Posts #15 How to fix reaper abuse ? not a big change cuz i think its not imba as that (im z) 2 pop or a little less speed should be fine

The problem is that with a decent amount 6-12+ and the good map (cliff) they cannot be beat by zergling speed and roach cant follow them off creep so terran can have easy map control early/mid game and full time harass.

It should only be GG if you felt it was a GG, saying GG when you felt the game was bad is rather false and unnecessary imo.



I mean does it really hurt a player if his opponent doesn't GG? he probably won't or at least shouldn't care since he's won anyway.



edit: sorry for slight off topic, i'll shuttup about it now

I just want to clarify when i said the strat is easy i mean that its easy for top tier terrans such as Morrow. In no way am i saying anyone can do it. Full props to Morrow, he played extremely well and beat IdrA within the bounds of the game. Either Blizzard will make a change or someone will come up with something more solid to beat 5 rax reapers as zerg.
