Though for watching, TvZ is better than ZvZ. Go for winning the TSL no matter what, you said you were low on money due to your Korea adventure so all is justified. | ||

You have to either deal with the highly volatile ZvZ, or take a big risk by switching to a match-up that you probably lack practice in. I'd say go T only if you think the maps favour them. Ret's TvZ is better than his ZvZ IMO and I think he knows this also, not sure why he is so hesitant to switch. Given the fact that he will most likely be playing Zerg's up to the finals, I don't see this being a hard choice at all. Ret: you have been playing ZvZ lately, but also TvZ, you know which one will give you a better chance of winning, so why are you so hesitant? Let's put it this way, in the TSL predictions video on SCForAll, Ret said that he thinks he would lose to Sen or Koll ZvZ, and maybe even Castro, do you think he would say the same if he was playing TvZ? I doubt it. | ||

That said, you probably (hopefully?) have not seriously trained with T in months, while you have worked a lot on your ZvZ, which has improved quite a bit. You've also won in the R3 ZvZ. Don't second guess yourself - keep practicing and play Z. | ||

He should just play whatever gives him the best chance at winning TSL. Beacuse he has nothing to lose with giving it a try and beacuse winning a progaming license would not only be a historical achievement, but also a confirmation of all his efforts? Just beacuse the chances of him winning a license are small does not mean that he should not try and take it anyway. Besides which, Ret has spent a lot of time and effort getting his ZvZ up to snuff. At this point, switching back to TvZ would be counterproductive. | ||

you don't stand a chance vs CaStrO or kolll or mondragon or sen in ZvZ. after you played TvZ for 8-10 years, switching to ZvZ can't get you those years of exp. please choose fast, so i can finish my TSL contest :D | ||

At this point, switching back to TvZ would be counterproductive. I think it's obvious that his TvZ is still good, or else he wouldn't even be contemplating it. I think the question is more, "Should I just stick it out and try with ZvZ like I planned?" or "Should I revert to my stronger matchup, even though I've invested all this time into my ZvZ?". I bet Ret's TvZ is still better than his ZvZ and that his chances are significantly higher with T than with Z. With Ret going home regardless of courage, he should be concentrating on winning TSL. | ||
