Reasoning makes sense though - if you like being active early game then reapers "taken off the game" seems pretty huge change to own gameplay. GL with the swarm! Not just reapers. Roach range has a major effect on hellion harass as well, and TLO was favoring a lot of that in GSL1. | ||

Idra, zenio, Fruitdealer, all these guys stuck it out, made it work, and that's why they have the respect they do. TLO switching immediately after a patch like this is a little disappointing. You have a warped perspective. Zerg has always been strongest. Most boring, most susceptible to cheese and most difficult to play, but they've always been the best out of the three. Recent patch only made it more obvious. Notice the difference between a classy player like TLO and someone like Dimaga, Fruitseller or Idra (no offense to any of them), when he doesn't threaten to switch -- he simply does it. Anyway, best of luck to TLO. I don't believe he'll suddenly start beating 100% zerg users in ZvZ but we'll see. | ||

I'm happy that there was no drama involved, he just switched. | ||

He just had yet to enter any tournaments. It's not "bad" for him to switch. If anything, it's expected. If you are capable of playing better, wether it be through switching races, build order, practice, or anything else, you damn well better do that, for your sponsors, if not for yourself. | ||

Anyway, I've always felt TLO's Zerg was exciting, can't wait to see him using them again. Hopefully he does decently in GSL3. | ||

ontopic : TLO Had to choose between zerg and terran for tournaments (because most of them dont allow racepicking and his pvp really sucked compared to the other MUs) and back then terran was really strong in all aspects. Now the patches seem to have cripled many t builds, so why should he keep on play around with T, as most of his Z builds still work or are even stronger than end-beta. | ||

He should have never went T. That was my biggest disappointment seeing TLO go from Z to T. At least he's back. | ||

To give a metaphor I absolutely hate LeBron. If you're a basketball fan at all I shouldn't have to explain everything HE did to take the easy way out. I still love TLO though and will support him in his Zerg endeavours. | ||

Also, he made the final call to play Terran because of the wide variety of openers that Terran had compared to a pretty 1 directional Zerg play-style. Now that the patch has come, Zerg has many more openers for example: Baneling bust, 5 Roach rush, any 1 base play, and early expo economy. It seems to me like Zerg has many many more viable openers now, after the patch. I don't think TLO switches due to balances but his play style and now it can be applied to Zerg. Pretty sad that many people here loved TLO when he was dominating the tournaments and now that he failed in the two GSL's (especially early in GSL 2) everyone is losing interest. I understand fully his decision to switch and I hope he does better next GSL. | ||

His zerg play is just as unique and fun to watch as his Terran play, but him switching to Zerg seems like he's going "the easy way out". I like people who stick to their guns. If you played Terran originally, stick to it. To give a metaphor I absolutely hate LeBron. If you're a basketball fan at all I shouldn't have to explain everything HE did to take the easy way out. I still love TLO though and will support him in his Zerg endeavours. Well he never played Terran originally  He was always torn between Zerg and Terran and if it wasn't for the ZvZ matchup which now seems to be a lot deeper than it was when he had to make the decision to stick to one race, he would have picked Zerg back then already. | ||

I do agree that Zerg fits TLO's play style a bit more than Terran though. So I'm sure it will work out for him. Just disappointed as a Terran player I guess. | ||
