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.
Amen. I'm also looking forward to how TLO will deal with a protoss who tries to slip his canon into his backside.

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.
I just hope he sticks with it.
A lot of youngsters these days get frustrated quickly and try to make drastic changes when they don't get instant results...
He hasn't gone deep in the last 2 gsls so he probably thought he needed to change something.
But practice makes perfect..

GSL doesn't allow race switching, but random IS allowed. Garimto played random in the qualifiers.

TLO's Blizzcon performance was indeed pretty bad, but what he showed in his games was pretty impressive.
|
I feel as though TLO could show more creativity with Terran.
Anyway, it's not all terrible because BoxeR is gonna take the mantle of creative Terran and take it up a notch.

I don't think his performance was bad at all, yet you say he did well in the games he played... Reality is, he got bad luck with his match ups, all tip top zergs who have been playing Zerg since early beta. Watch his replays, he did pretty damn well considering he was just at the GSL playing Terran not less than a week ago.

I never liked TLO. Honestly I don't think he has the natural talent needed to succeed against the best in korea. I don't even think he's good enough to beat top foreigners. To me he's always been a flashy player with a big fanbase because of stupid shit like "TLOwnage" or his "creative" play, but when it comes to actual straight up matches he falls flat. 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.
Being passive is way easier than having to make things happen, just saying

Makes sense. He's talked a lot about switching to zerg before and played random previously of course. Trying to innovate and find new strats for Zerg is good because having watched his TvT you can tell it frustrates him. He tries to go for interesting builds and openers but is just always forced back into tank/viking in every single TvT. If not vT its just MMM all the way. Perhaps he just sees more flexibility in Zerg army composition in all matchups.
Plus it'll be nice to see less Terrans around. Not to bash the race but a bit of diversity in tournaments would be nice.
|
hmm interesting. I know he's not starting zerg from scratch, but wonder if he can keep up with people playing same race the whole time. His choice, not much else to say, gl to him!
|
Makes sense. Terran is the weakest race by quite a margin right now.
|
It's pretty obvious he liked Zerg the most from the start but didn't want to play a race that had a really tough time winning.
When you're a random player like TLO was initally, why would you play the worst race? That's just stupid.
Now the game is a lot more balanced it makes sense to switch to the race he preferred in the first place anyway.
|
we will see how he will perform with zerg in next gsl, Im not really hoping much.

way to quote a part of my post, ignoring the part which would answer your comment. TLO wasnt playing random after release, he played Zerg & Terran

Try telling that to a Protoss who has to deal with constant drop harass from a Terran. Or to a zerg who has to run around fending off banshees or hellion drops. It's really stressful :|

Also being creative and losing isn't very hard at all

I dont care waht race he plays aslong as he keeps entertaining us with inovative builds.
TLO was called inovative for his Zerg builds.... His T is plain and borring.
He was the first one to use zerglings+infestors combo with great success

Thats a real shame, TLOs main strength as a player was coming up with unique builds and being aggressive from the start of the game to the end. Now that he switches to zerg he won't really get use of any those skills. I think he'll do worse with zerg because they don't allow for unique builds or being aggressive from the start of the game without taking huge risks of falling behind.

And the Zerg era begins ! GL TLO

I'm such a devoted supporter of my own race (terran) in this game lol. And naturally I am sad that he didn't feel at home with terran in the end.
As a even more devoted supporter to team liquid (and nonkoreans in korea in general) this is great news though!
TLO is a genius and I wish him a good luck
