I don't know, I really like TLO and his innovative and creative play style but he seems to lack that solid macro play that players like Idra have, and without that I don't see him taking games away from Idra for example. And I doubt switching to Zerg will change that, but I sure do wish him best of luck. Will be interesting to see how his Zerg style evolves in oGs house full of excellent terrans and only few zerg players (oGs Zenio and that's it I think?)

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


BoxeR is not playing to the best of his ability right now. Instead the matchups that were more balanced from the tournament were Sen vs. Loner and White-ra vs. Dimaga. In both cases the matches were quite one-sided.

I honestly don't believe Zerg is remotely overpowered, especially after watching the pros play over the last few days.


Boxer played perfect. He just can't gain map control because Roaches are too powerful, not to mention the Reaper nerf which makes Roaches that much stronger.

After forcing Fruitdealer to cancel the natural, Boxer even scouted the gold expo early but couldn't do anything about it because his army is weak compared to Roaches.

I think the top 4 in the GSL end up as Z, Z, Z, Z, and Blizzard will be forced to use the nerf hammer once again.


Really boxer played perfect? Didn't realize letting your opponent take the gold as his 1st expansion after getting bunker at the Nat perfect play. Please so how come in loner vs sen loner just demolished sen? roaches too powerful? Its all he went and he got DEMOLISHED. Watch loner play thats how tvz should be played not stay on 2 base all game then cry imba because you let zerg mass expo.

Rather then cry why don't you watch top terran players play tvz correctly before saying imba eh? From what I know a zerg did not win Blizzcon! Top 3 were P, T, P. Zerg is definitely very imbalanced couldn't even make top 3. (no I am not saying zerg is UP either I think their actually fine now)

Thank you.
All this Zerg OP stuff completely blew up so fast, and it's making me sad. -.-


About TLO:
I guess I'm happy we have another great player join The Swarm. I'll miss his nukes, though.
Honestly, I wish he would just switch back to random. That's when TLO was the most awesome. ;D

I think brackets A, B and D will have a Zerg winner. But I'm not so sure about C.

Nice guy, creative and innovative thinker, very entertaining to watch. However, I feel that his broad fan base is based on his personality more so than his actual gaming prowess. To date, I feel that his play has been generally inconsistent. This move back to Zerg exemplifies his personality, versatile yet inconsistent, jack of all trades, master of none. At this point I can't see him being a top sc2 pro.

Sad to see him switch, I always enjoyed watching him play terran because of his alternative gameplay.

I wish ravens and nukes were buffed, so not everyone would go MMM

Way to come off as embarrassingly ignorant. TLO demonstrated high level zerg play during the beta. Playing zerg again won't be too difficult of a transition (he's already playing zerg and showed great infestor play). Also, "terran is the race for gimmicky creative play." That was unnecessary don't you think? Let's not be childish here.

I'm highly disappointed in TLO. I thought he chose a race and was going to stick with them. Blizzard will balance the game to the best of their ability and you should pick a race that truly suits your play-style. As for me I chose Terran and I'm never going to look back.

I played Brood War and first I was Protoss, just to learn the game. Then I switched to Zerg because I liked their concept, swarm the enemy, macro intensive and micro intensive. Then I found Terran, the perfect balance and I was happy from that day on, Terran fighting! TLO, sad to see you become infested but we don't neeed flip floppers playing our race. I can't wait to see Flash playing SC2! Slayers_Boxer and Nada fighting! Terran Lives on!!!

you make a good point but i think it's too early in the game and his career to judge whether someone will be a top pro player. we have seen his potential. I think it's a matter of practice and will power for him.

It's hilarious how some people seem to be offended on a personal level just because a player switches his race. If he wants to and it'll work well with his team mates, then why care?

As if playing T, P or Z says something about your character or your personality - some folks take this too serious. TLO switching T->Z is like David Beckham switching from Adidas to Nike soccer shoes. Game stays the same, only the tool it's played with is different now.

I enjoyed watching him play random, I enjoyed watching him play T, I'll enjoy watching him play Z.

He probably would if it was random between zerg and terran. He just doesn't want to play protoss, that's how it has always been.

I remember having watched him play some very entertaining zerg games in the past so this is good news.

Doubt it, considering one of the reasons him going from Random to Terran was because how uncomfortable was with Protoss and how unsatisfied he was with his play.

Nice. I remember some nice games from him back in the beta as zerg. He was a beast with those fungals. Looking forward to see some games.

Don't like the change, I dont expect him to have any success in the near future now. At least in Korea.
