I thought I saw a man brought to life
He was warm
He came around
And he was dignified
He showed me what it was to cry

Well you couldn't be that man I adored
You don't seem to know
Or seem to care
What your heart is for
I don't know him anymore

There's nothin' where he used to lie
My conversation has run dry
That's what's going on
Nothings right
I'm torn

I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
You're a little late
I'm already torn

So I guess the fortune tellers right
I should have seen just what was there and not some holy light
But you crawled beneath my veins
And now, I don't care
I have no luck
I don't miss it all that much
There's just so many things
That I can't touch
I'm torn

There's nothin' he used to lie
My inspiration has run dry
That's what's going on
Nothing's right
I'm torn

I thought my post was completely harmless. I see why your douche-o-meter is named after you.

if you go with t, your time in korea will have been for nothing. if you go with t and lose you will ask yourself why you didnt stick with z and blame yourself. if you go with t, you let the desire for money dictate your life. if you go with t you prove nothing other than that you have given up. thinking about going with tvz is doubting yourself, its the opposite of confidence and creates a win-win situation for castro, showing him that regardless of what your choice will be he is going to face you in a matchup that you didnt prepare the best you could, game-wise and mentally.

dont give yourself up just because not everything went as it could have with estro. after considering everything, play what you are most comfortable with, not only during the game but after it. you are still ret, but who this ret is is determined by every decision you make. who are you, ret?

good luck.

TvZ is way cooler than ZvZ.
if you go with t, you let the desire for money dictate your life

Assuming this is true, then he should definitely go with T as winning is the goal and winning = money

There' also the whole issue of ZvZ being a suicide inducing matchup and TvZ being the most fun you can have in SC.

I have NO idea if Ret's TvZ or ZvZ is better tho, so obv I can't offer any kind of serious advice. I would, however, imagine that Ret didn't switch to ZvZ because he decided he loves that matchup, but more because he was forced to if he wanted to play in Korea.

and testie made a serious post. a good post on top of that. its no insult, its not off-topic, its spot on. your post on the other hand contained:
insult

and thats it, effectively reducing it to spam. if i were a mod youd been at least warned for that. try to use arguments to back your opposing opinion up next time. or dont act to high and mighty because of it.

I get all wiggly and jiggly when I think of rets tvz back in the day

Realistically though, switch back to TvZ only if you're gonna have enough time to get yo skills back to to top form

If you just want to win tsl, go ahead and play TvZ. If you want to shoot for the stars, and have a shot at getting through tsl into korea, you'll probably need to learn how to play ZvZ.

edit: I mean, play ZvZ at a high level. Obviously your ZvZ must be pretty good if you're even thinking about playing ZvZ instead of TvZ, as you normally do.

Terran.
If you're unsure about Zerg see how Terran feels in practice and make your decision, but don't stick with Zerg because you think you should.

While i agree that i'd like to see your TvZ way more than another ZvZ i seriously think you should make that decision yourself since nobody knows on what lvl your TvZ is nowadays.
You'll have regrets either way if you drop out so just go with wathever youre more confident.

ZvZ is a luckfest


And I'd rather see a shitton of ZvT out of you than a mass of ZvZ

sarcasm much?

its just more demanding than other matchups when it comes to following your opponent closely (how many drones and zerglings he makes, when spire starts) and having good micro to defend the bo you went with or abuse the speed of your units. its very challenging, but this is starcraft and not poker. luck never decides a starcraft game.

You have to play Zerg cos I already posted my TSL2 bracket contest entry based on that fact omg

Race-picking is kinda lame like what if CaStrO decided he wants to play TvZ too? Can't he just say that and then you have to default to ZvZ? Not sure on the rules concerning this...

You're trying to argue that of all matchups in starcraft that zvz is the one which luck plays the biggest part?
