Pretty sure it was stated that "TL would be coming in full force to mlg dallas" was already stated in maybe the SoTG podcast or some interview, I'm expecting Nony, Huk, Ret, Haypro, Jinro, TLO all to go. | ||

Hey I never said HE sucked with Z, I was talking about "the general populace". Still I believe going full time terran was a balance oriented "freefrag decision". If you know how to play both races and forced to take a choice when ladder/points REALLY matter, pick the currently overpowered one. Personally I think it's kind of a crass way of apprehending gaming but hey to each his own; As much as I dislike IdrA for instance you gotta give him points for sticking with zerg instead of taking the easy way and riding the imba train. | ||

Mirror matches are probably the hardest matchups in the game to get timings down for, since you're both often doing the same thing it comes down to tiny decisions and timings that make a much bigger impact than in other matchups. It's hard to judge the strength of his Zerg play so far from just those games, so here's to hoping that his other matchups are stronger and he gets those zvz builds and timings down  | ||

Well I don't think him switching full time was a move based on balance, just as I don't think him not playing Protoss later on was a decision based on balance. He just picks what he does best with at the time, regardless of anything else. | ||

Best of luck to him though; I'm sure he'll do well GSL season 3. I think its half bandwagon, half going home. Remember, when he stopped playing random he said "I play Z and T" but he always played T because he wanted to be competitive. Now that Z is solid, he can play something he likes and be competitive. Edit: Also, I plan to be a creepy fanboy and stalk him in Dallas | ||

I've always been a huge fan of TLO's playstyle, whether you qualify it as experiments or risky, I find it entertaining and that is what keeps me up at night, hoping to get a glimpse of his games. So whatever the reason he's switching race, I'll support it nonetheless. Plus, the games he did lose in GSL weren't that bad (errors that can be easily corrected). Take Loner for example, the first game he played in GSL, he lost badly to a 4 Gate on Scrap Station. We all thought he was done for the tournament, and now he might be a favorite. That's my two cents. | ||

I think there's definitely some silly exaggerating going on with the ease/benefits of switching races, though. | ||
