And his PvP really isn't as bad as you guys make it, they played like 2 days after the patch and before he was playing sentry+zealot like Nazgul did, which suddenly didn't work at all so he went Blink Stalker build which worked good on Metalopolis til he wasted them all when he panicked because of the DTs.
If the rules dictate that he has to stick then I retract my statement in regards to HDH. However if a tournament had no such rules I believe the logic would still stand.

Why would he get a race? its still beta and he is TLO. He already warned us that his epicness is not limitless and that he would not be able to be great 100% of the time.
He is not flash, boxer or any of those guys
yet.

I literally screamed when I saw he was protoss for the 3rd time in a row that last game

However in a tournament situation there is NO reason to put it in the hands of the dice if you can pick your race from the 3 and try a diff strat each time. There is basically zero benefit to going random in a tournament since your opponent scouts u in under 3min whereas the potential harms (as we saw today) can be crippling.
Being Random every game, even in tournaments, is what makes TLO so awesome man.. If he picked a race.. I would lose a little bit of my admiration of him.. Hes still a sick player regardless..

HDH spoilers:
+ Show Spoiler +It's not like it's easy to 2-3 White-Ra. I mean, come on, it's White-Ra.
As for sticking with Terran ... have you seen his recent Zerg play.

Wish he would stick with Terran and dominate everyone, then he'd be my hero.

Cauthon needs to learn to scout lol ^^. White-Ra is my favorite protoss and I am not in this club just commenting on this.

That's assuming of course that IdrA beats Nony, which IMO is fairly likely but Nony is definitely a solid player so you never know

Im pretty sure that nony will beat Idra ... i mean its PvZ so If nony wont go 4gate all in vs him like whitera did vs TLO then he should win easily.
Those HDH games were painfull to watch with first two games white-ra playing like a total noobie getting owned and leaving after his 4gate all in rush fails. I cringed when TLO got toss 3 times in a row

+ Show Spoiler +Yeah I agree you're supposed to be decent or GOOD at all 9 MUs, but I'm thinking two things happened. TLO was totally ahead in game 3, he had it won imo, if he only pushed when WhiteRa was getting his Shrine up, and after the harassment, he totally had the game won. He shrugs it off and thinks oh okay I still got this, I'm up 2 games I can throw this away, BUT next he spawns protoss and tries to end it by a rush and fails. In your head come game, he just lost, pretty much 2 games, in seemingly 10 minutes. He spawns protoss, now his confidence is down, he just lost 0-2 vs WhiteRa's PvP. Going into game 5, that explains that WTFmove at the end....Half the army split isn't always a bad thing, but when your army is split in COMPLETELY different directions...too bad  + Show Spoiler + Trying to hide his expansion in game 3 was a terrible decision in my opinion and cost him the game

lol tlo beat whitera with toss?
|
no, he lost with toss. his wins were with zerg.

Sorry for failing once again. I will try harder next time! Practicing pvp would be next on my list, but I have to play loads of Zergs in my next events. Anyways I dont feel bad about losing to white-ra he is one of my favourite players.

I'm just curious TLO, do you still feel Zerg is your weakest race? Or just weakest mirror race? I love watching your games. Thanks for keeping it interesting.
