EPTDon't get me wrong, TLO didn't play the best of his games, and he does not look totally adapted after switching to Zerg yet. However, the real reason why he lost so badly is because White-ra totally kicks ass in PvZ lately. Remember, Nerchio lost 4-0 to White-ra last week, and then moved on to win Socke and HerO (!) in HSC4.

I really like the guy, but the truth is he has been playing oh so bad for the past few months. He always relied on gimmicky builds to carry him through, but that only worked early on. He's not exactly playing bad, but there's a noticable gap in performance, thats true. But I wouldn't say that he has relied on gimmicky builds - even when playing random, even when playing creative, there was always a sense of stability to his play that's missing now. But considering his long break due to health concerns and his indecisiveness as to which race to play, this is no surprise. As long as he's having fun playing and representing TL, though, all's fine. | ||

Comments like this are very ignorant. TLO and WhiteRa were playing Bo5 showmatches on their stream regularly like 2 weeks ago and at some point the score (adding all played Bo5 games) reportedly was something like 33-33. The only thing to say here is of course that this was played on stream for fun, while this was for $$$. Anyway, TLO probably just had a bad day. | ||

TLO ofcourse didn't played his best, but u gotta admit that WhiteRa's PvZ style with double stargate and pressure before that is really strong and well thought out. | ||

White-Ra's PvZ has become absolutely insane. Maybe because of all his practice against TLO... As soon as TLO fights a non-WhiteRa toss he'll realize his ZvP is a lot better than he thought. | ||

In my opinion TLO did one major mistake that set him in uncomfortable spot on most of the maps and allowed WhiteRa to dictate the game - he researched +1 Carapace that finished always at least 60(to 100) seconds after the 4wg pressure with +1 zealots had passed. | ||

I saw WhiteRa won some game with carriers. ^_^ One of the game was indeed mass-carrier where TLO responded with hydras which were just melting. Almost all other games though, White-Ra went with what I would say is now his standard PvZ: He FFEs and looks for a fast 3rd zerg base. He pressures the 3rd hard with zealots followed by several voidrays that hit the least defended base. If that doesn't outright wins him the game it still buys plenty of time to set up a third then he makes a colossus death ball with stalker and mothership support. it ended 6-1 in favor of The Beast. | ||
