I guess we will have to see what he's been cooking in that Startale house, and we shall see very soon!

TLO is known to have a very unique play style, and we can see that in the way he plays the Zerg race. His creativity, and game sense is very top notch, and is a key reason to why TLO continues to be a respected name in the SC2 community. (oh yea, that creeeeeeep spread oh so good.) Facing off against Sound will be an interesting challenge for TLO, but should definitely be a series full of exciting and amazing games(hopefully, crossing my fingers).

Will definitely tune in. Been a while since I have seen Sound play and looking forward to seeing TLO perform in a non-ladder match.
Thanks to Quantic/Startale and CSN for putting this on.
|
I agree, very interesting match!
Can't wait.

why can't we get psy and maximus black to cast it? :L

Maximus and Psy are extremely busy right now, but each of them definitely has something in the works

Was waiting for TLO to have his morning stream and saw this being advertised by @TeamLiquidPro. Let's go TLO!
|
Stream will go live in about 10 minutes.
|
gogo TLO you have this! Show us some epic strategies! <3
|
Waiting on Sound to enter the bnet's.
|
Can't underestimate Sound. Last time people underestimated him, he ended up dark-horsing into the finals of HomeStoryCup 4.
|
TLO can win this! His ZvT is always on point, and he is tearing up the ladder on his stream. Sound can take it too though, this is a very good match.
|
Sound is really giving it to TLO.
|
What the hell happened I was away when TLO had a 20 supply lead at around 150 vs 130 then i come back its 150 vs 160
|
TLO let all of his banelings explode on the tanks, so he couldn't take out the marines. Arghhh he played a great game though.

The Korean Terran is no ordinary Terran...
Basically Sound had incredible drop multitask that TLO couldn't keep up with. TLO then had a poor major engagement (banelings into tanks, no infestor support), and it spiraled out of his control
|
I think it's a damn shame that the thing that makes TLO a fan-favorite everywhere, is the thing that gets him killed so damn often. He kept Sound on his toes with run-by attempts and baneling attacks into his third's mineral line, but ultimately it was all shut down and the 2-2 push (that he just barely missed an opportunity to smash with his well-placed bane-mines) crushed him.
|
Sounds like TLO isn't doing too well? :[
|
TLO doing some awesome things, loading up drones into overlords when hellions arrive, dropping creep tumours at Sound's third, using contiaminate to delay upgrades, doing all the things people say Zergs should be doing but aren't.

It's tied 1-1, TLO had a great second game where he wins a baserace that never looked like he would lose.
|
<3 the drone pickup into overlords. Genius.

Oh nice he still has a chance then! :O gogo TLO!
|
The oh-so exploitable spot on Entombed strikes again.
|
That drone evacuation from his main was so damn cool.
Sound prepared for the basetrade with turrets and leftover tanks, but he surely wasn't prepared for TLO's ninja infestors and fully-saturated-with-refugee-drones-bases everywhere
|
Sound really knows how to put on the aggression when he needs to, just constant and relentless drops.
|
TLO was really hot in early stages of SC2. When game wasn't "mapped out" creativity was as much important as macro/micro. Unfortunately I don't think in current stage of the game TLO got any chances against Korean pro's. Mechanic never was his strong point - and in current state of the game it is most important.

Very interesting play by TLO on Antiga. Very reminiscent of his game against MKP on Antiga during IPL TAC2.
|
Mass lings- I've seen TLO do that SOOO many times on Antiga- Its like a really good troll build lol
|
That's the build that TLO almost always goes in ZvT on Antiga. Really effective build from what I've seen.
|
What was the final score?

Ongoing, stream is going between offline/online for some reason
|
Maybe TLO should baneling bust a 5th time.

Now depending on how highly you rate Sound, one could say that based on this showmatch's results, you could say that TLO is certainly able to hold with some Korean pros.

Ahh Sound's multitasking tore TLO apart that last game

Dario Wünsch @LiquidTLO
result of the show match is 4-3 for ST_Sound. Great series, definitely helped me a lot to improve
