it looks like you werent around for very long. TLO was palying random for a long time, then switched to Terran & Zerg. But many tournaments, especially GSL do not allow race picking, so he sticked with Terran which was the logical choise. He still played some zerg games, and mentioned he still loves zerg, you can look it up. Maybe he got bored with T, that's my best guess, as T is boring after all. But if he feels like he has to play the strongest race, what's wrong with that, if he s able to, go for it

Being able to choose one race and succeed with it, through good and bad times, means to have achieved something. That's why we look upon aFruitDealer as a hero. If TLO changed his race because he really felt Zerg was better suited for him, then we should congratulate him for finding strength to change the race. However if he did it because of the recent patch then he is becomes nothing in the eyes of his fans. Only he know the true reason.
I am a great believer in luck. The harder I work the luckier I am.

Pretty much this.

@Yggdrasill: I hate people like you, making harsh accusations without having a clue whats going on. TLO also said, that he might switch to zerg one day (pre 1.1.2).

Not surprising, anybody who is already decent Zerg would be foolish to play Terran in current balance state. Zerg gameplay is rather boring, but at least effective, unlike Terran late game (lol, Terran late game).

But maybe he could make Zerg fun for me. Hope he does well!

just watched blizzcon 2010 TLO vs Sen game 2;

at the first big battle, TLO had 15 roaches + some spines + infestors against 35 roaches + 2 spines

when I saw that composition, I would have instantly GG'ed, but:

TLO survived and minerals lost showed that he came out of the fight 4000 minerals ahead!

TLO can play wathever race he wants if you ask me.
He have proven that he can play all 3 races and he can come up with creative builds with all of them.
If he doesent win he put up a match that was entertaining as hell atleast.
One of the best additions to the pro scene from europe.

I always liked his play and hopefully he will play toss for a while too.

Lets hope for some infestor play since thoose units are the coolest Z unit ever, and TLO seems to agree

whatever he needs to do to stay relevant.

I hope he isn't chasing buffs though, as he's missing out on the most important thing that makes the greatest great, which is practice. Every time he switches races he's pretty much in a situation where all the time perfecting his game beforehand becomes in many ways, useless. The more he switches the less relevant he'll become.
There's a base in my base!

The internet is funny sometimes. People make their own interpretation, and spam here...Honestly, reading that a pro player may switch to a race because some of you guys feels that they're OP at the time, this is just dumb.

You don't pick a race because of a patch. The game will change a lot again in the near future. Maybe some don't realize that and will switch to the race that everyone QQing at the time, but pro players are not dumb as those internet trolls, please, don't insult such a nice guy as TLO.

Anyway, i should'nt feed them i guess.

I always loved zerg's TLO, i remember a game on Desert oasis, against a protoss, with a mass speedling/infestor, way before zerg users start to use infestors. It was so amazing.

It would be so sweet to see him play zerg now.

As a Terran who loves watching TLO I'm dissapointed for entertainment purposes and will follow him less closely. Still, I fulled understand and support his decision in the sense that he does this professionally and needs to do waht he thinks is best for his career. Goodluck TLO.

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.


Of all the races I still think we have the most to learn about Zerg. Currently there are countless strategies that Dario has invented that need testing.

I always felt that there should be a random of two-race option. That way TLO could play randomly either Zerg or Terran.

well, i just watched these two games:

http://sc2casts.com/cast1259-TheLittleOne-vs-Sen-Best-of-3-BlizzCon-2010-Pro-Matchup

a shame he had to play Zergs the entire tourney and got knocked out early but there was some pretty impressive micro and creative play that I've never seen from zergs since early beta. Getting quick lair into roach burrow before roach speed is definitely something unexpected. I think TLO has what it takes and with the tools zerg has I think he'll do pretty damn good.

Cool news, we'll see if he can catch up fast or not with the other zergs out there. I don't think we are gonna see him in the next GSL tho.
