I think this is cheap and it shouldn't be allowed. He can abuse map advantage. Also, a few pro Chinese Zerg players are not using Zerg because they and half of the world fears Korean Zergs. If they knew they can race hop they would also use zerg all along and switch to T or P against korean Zergs. I believe Idra hates ZvZ also, if he knew players can do this.. he might have race hop between games too.
This also has another problem, he can attack players weakest race and others can't. For example: lets say Idra is weakest in ZvZ, TLO can request to play Z against Idra. Another player is weakest against T, TLO can also request to play T against that player.

i guess the admin didn't tell the commentators then.. they initially were confused and were worried about fairness when TLO chose terran

Well if Idra really thought he could beat a korean zerg without his main race I guess he would have tried it. Not everyone is as good at every race as TLO.
Practicing only one race has advantages... this is one of the few tournies I've seen that gives an advantage to being good at everything.

Freedom losing isn't that big a deal since he is apparently not as active as some but Tosky going down is big. He's been praised in several interviews I've seen and zvp is much less volatile then zvz (at least not later game zvp). I'm really interested now in how the rest of this tourney unfolding with 2 koreans getting beat out.

Never understood why people don't like race pickers. Honestly, should you not admire someone's ability to play all 3 races and matchups?
