He apparently was practicing it long before the patch.

Personally, I think it's beneficial to follow this trend of switching to said op race after a significant patch.

Of course, if all progamers follow suite, balance issues will arise.

But from a casual gamer's perspective, this encourages me to try other races, increasing my overall knowledge of all the races. But most of all, it helps me adapt. Considering that a few, if not most standard plays won't work in the future (sc2 patches seem to be frequent), the best players will be the ones who can adapt the quickest. And I think by interacting with various components that go with all the races will prove to be productive.

I don't know to feel about this. It's always great to see new Zerg talent, but TLO is famous because of his innovative play and entertaining techniques. Thus, Terran was great for him because he could pull off crazy stunts and show off. Zerg on the other hand seems to be a more "calm," collected race with a heavy emphasis on macro. And I don't know about you, but "innovative 16hatch 15pool" (other whatever crazy things he'll do) doesn't exactly invoke much excitement.
now run into the setting sun, and suffer, but don't mess up your hair.

i think for a creative mind like TLO's, Terra doesnt really offer enough variability in the mid-late game. We start to see that there are only very few viable builds nowadays. Against good players which have tuned their build to survive the first 7-10 aggressive terra-minutes its really hard to play with the humans at this stage of the game. Taken that a lot of the early game variability was taken out, looks like terrans will have a hard time ahead of them.

... and now they lose their strategy overmind... oh noes!!

The thing that matters most is that he produces results. I hope he's doing well during practice matches as Zerg.

What are you talking about? These retarded speculations about him playing T because it was easier. The recent patches have made Terran a lot more limited in the mid and late game. Terran just isn't the same anymore. I honestly hated going mass bio, and now the patches are forcing me to mass up bio. TLO, if you remember, used to always go mech, and rarely massed up marauders as well. But now Terran has to use MMM every time because everything counters mech.

For all the SC1 Terran fans, honestly.. aren't you disappointed that T just isn't the same. I would give up the marauder for better mech play any day.

If, as stated in the quote in the OP, he's switching because he always felt he was a zerg player, then he is clearly switching to zerg because of the patch changes. It's not like some mystical force was making him play terran before!

No need to criticize his decision, though. More power to him, and I hope he does well. However, there's no need to get defensive about it. THAT only creates something for people to criticize.

Play to win. If that means switching races then great ... if you can switch and still be successful with winning then you def have skill. Take advantage of the situation give to you by the patches.

I think he was being sarcastic, meaning that zerg is harder to innovate with. But TLO is a very creative player, so I am sure we will see something =)

Err not quite, I played sc1 quite a bit and i always remember trembling in fear behind my bunker after protoss stole my gas, desperately repairing until i got my siege tank.

Really don´t like this move from him but it seems like you have to do whatever it takes to win.
Still hoping he wil do fine but i hope this is his last switch.

Dario did not switch because Zerg is the flavour of the month in imbalance (and I think Blizzcon proved that). Instead he just enjoys the gameplay more and feels he can do better. All the team fully support him in his decision.

We may release replays from his Zerg practice over the last month in a future weekly.


Is this the same Blizzcon I watched? I saw the Emperor play amazing and yet get completely crushed.

so he already played a lot of Zerg before GSL 2? Or did he only train his Terran then?


He has been practicing solidly for 2 weeks and been playing 3-4 games a day for over 2 months. Here is a game played early September:



We just spent over an hour de-constructing his games and discussing new strategies to try in training. Needless to say, the ZvZ at Blizzcon is simply a taste of what's to come.

I just wanna know why TLO feels that zerg suits hist style more than terran? If TLO is known for one thing it is his creativity and crazy builds and unit mixes. Zerg is quite boring to play (I say this as a zerg player). There are only really a handful of viable openings and unit mixes for zerg players.

P.S. I personally loved it when zerg was considered UP prior to the patch and the GSL1 because on ladder I would face nothing but T's and P's but now it's all Zzzzzzzz.

^Zerg is quite boring in the early game (hopefully TLO can find a way to add some of his flair), but it's one of the most flexible races in the end games. Insta-tech switches are crazy for Zerg. I'm excited to see what TLO can offer.
