Why do so many people dismiss TLO as a player? He's really, really good - and apart from the time that he was having serious trouble with carpal tunnel, he's been really succesful (winning the pokeridol and qualifying for the TSL). There seems to be such an obsession with playing a style that's considered 'standard' that anyone who sometimes does other styles gets dismissed as a player, no matter how skilled.


lol his playstyle? I dont even know his playstyle..

I stopped watching him after the beta. I mean during that, sure he was exciting as hell. Loved looking up youtube vids of him etc.

But after that... never saw him place well in major tournaments. =/ So I just stopped following him, started following other players instead.

JUST saying.

Pretty awesome news for Dario =)
And well, think everything was said why he probably was the one to be chosen... And let's hope to see some results from him again.

This says even more than some of you might realize. From what I remember of my dabbling in FPS pro news, Tsquared is a massive name. This is essentially a recognition of TLO as the "best" player by Sony Ericsson considering that they're pairing him with Tsquared as a FPS/RTS combo. That's quite the declaration.

Of course, I love TLO and think he's awesome, so I'm cool with that, haha. I certainly wouldn't say he's number one going into this (and I honestly don't think anyone would), but he's definitely a threat to everyone there.

iirc (I didn't follow Halo at all but I always saw headlines), Tsquared was by far the best player, on the best team................in 2008. He is still the most popular play afaik, but by far not the best. So Sony Ericsson is saying that TLO is the most popular player as far as they know.




Also I think many people are missing that TLO was the number ONE OR TWO foreigner at the time of GSL 1 and 2 with IdrA, and the only reason he fell off the map was not because of a slump, but a medical condition

i wouldve sponsored IdrA
that guy moved from KOREA to play sc2 in usa(giving up a very sought out for CodeS spot)
if that doesnt show dedication to home country and esports
i dont know what does

As I remember it, TLO would have been Code A if he had reached RO64 instead of being injured and returning home. He didn't fail in Korea.

And I don't know if there is someone like "the best foreigner". IdrA, Jinro all still manage to lose in tournaments.
TLO is really good.
And used nukes in GSL.

How can you quote someone who explains some of his achievements to you ( qualifying as pointleader for TSL, pokeridol win) and answer to that that you never saw him place well in tournaments?? Besides, before he left Korea he was as succesful as Idra in GSL and the Koreans's dear. With his two ro32 appearences he would have gotten code SA, you know...

After that, he tried GSL. and GSL is pretty harsh, exposure-wise...

TLO HWAITING!! the last player of consequence to still be random (is he still?).
