Interesting. I'll hold any judgment for or against him till I see more of his new zerg in action though.

Awesome! I always loved his Z play. He's got quite a bit of catching up to do though in terms of practice. Didn't seem to do too well at Blizzcon. T_T

I guess the reason for his switch is that now terran isn't as strong against zerg say a month ago, so makes more sense switching to zerg. To me this is still pretty stupid because IMO PvZ is still broken in high levels and zerg is by far the hardest race to play because it's mostly defensive, so he should do even worse in tournament results now.

Sorry to hurt anyone's feelings but this is just how I feel.


This sounds like a person who's only knowledge of TLO's play is from the TLOwnage video. He showed exceptional creativity as Random all throughout the Beta. I guess you think Battle of the Timing Attacks is the epitome of strategy. I don't comprehend how you label creative play as stupid shit.


Well to be fair, his "creative" play will only get him so far with zerg. You NEED to have strong macro mechanics to back up that "creativity" and TLO's macro is well...decent at best.

Don't get me wrong. I like TLO style of play but in professional league, I agree with Lucid90 to some degree.

I wish him good luck, but I think that he should've remained terran. I have the feeling that terran fits his play style better, but who am I to judge

His macro is fine. Nearly all the big losses I've seen lately have come from simple scouting mistakes. It just seems like nerves.

I think he thoroughly showed that in GSL1, and to a lesser extent GSL2.

I am a bit sad, because my decision to play Terran was somewhat based on TLO, and his style. But it makes sense, now that Terran has no harass options, nor any possibility of rushing at all.

Doesn't take an astronaut to figure out TLO favors cheesy wins over drawn-out games. Aside from fast rushes and the roaches, zerg play is mainly unchanged from what is was vs terran; It's still a pain in the @#% to defend a fast marine+tank push, especially if you went FE.

People who were bad with zerg before the patch will still suck hard with zerg now. The roach range will help a little but in the long run ? Nah.

Aside from that, GREAT... We'll get EVEN MORE "rerolled terrans" who will play zerg the same way all of these failed players do in zvz : 1 base spam 30 roaches a-move, something that basically forces the opponent to do the same... It's even more retarded than the old tank/viking TvTs and that's quite an achievement !

You are referring to the series where he Thor rushed and followed it up with cloaked banshees?

Dude, you have no idea what you're talking about. He was never a Terran main race before GSL. He was a Random whose strong races were T and Z.

And to call TLO a cheesy player is retarded. He's not some rush-oriented one baser, jesus. The games that made him famous were all late-game macro games where he won with incredibly entertaining and creative strategies.

It's like the only game you ever saw was the GSL2 thor push on Steppes.

Yep, TLO was by no means "bad" with zerg.

Obviously one game in a Bo3 is indicative of his style. Might as well call FruitDealer a cheesy onebaser for six pooling at the GSL1.
