Of course it's the player.
But you can't compare TLO with NaDa and Boxer. There is a hell of a gap in Skill between them.
As more the Koean Pros will play you will see this.



If you watched some replays, I've only seen TLO winning vs both.

I may be the only moron here but I don't get this. Does he mean he thinks T is OP, UP or something else? I'm confused.


It's a joke, a reference to Idra's trashtalk against Drewbie back when Terran were OP against zerg.
I think one of either HD or Husky casted the game if you want to see it.


Oh yeah I remember, I watched that game. Haha I guess?


More specifically, Idra said in that game "I wouldn't play Terran cuz I have self respect"

Replays?

On the gomtv site, you need to have paid for them tough.
They dont publicly release replays.

I just found a new Vod where TLO is playing ladder as zerg. But it's in german, casted by Take! Maybe you're interested in it:

I have always loved TLO as a player ever since i first saw him in a husky cast. He isnt affraid to try new, innovative and unorthodox stuff and had shown me that you dont need to be stuck to the popular builds all the time to be sucessfull, that you CAN do things different. I have not seen his zerg play all too often but I am impressed from the stuff i have seen and will look forward to how he may mutate the swarms strategy.

I hope he still does some terran once in a while so we still keep seeing crazy terran strats from him too =P.

Out of a rather small sample size of a few games.

I agree, I became an instant fan during beta seeing him play as random. However, I did really enjoy watching his zerg play. I guess, I just really enjoy watching him play. You never know what he will do.

Man I was talking about this at #teamliquid just last week when he lost. I am so glad to hear it. I think TLO was better at Z by far. I was really hoping for a random stage there while he was in the down time of the GSL and really show the neat things again about all the races. Not that he dosent do that what the race he is really focusing on, but I would like to see some of the things he comes up with on the side (kinda hoping maybe one day he kicks out a replay pack of him fooling around with all the races)

But no matter what TLO still have a fanboy here, and I cant wait to see him play some Z in the next GSL (dont know if there are any things sooner that he is playing in). TLO FIGHTING!

I remember watching tlo's zerg in early retail or beta not sure. but he had some cool moves with burrowed bane's at the expo then running zerglings into the main when and other flanking moves. He'll probably do just fine as zerg. Don't think he would ever go random as I remember him losing in a toss v toss during hdh tournament pretty badly to whitera twice but that was a while ago.

Switching when Terran was nerfed and Zerg is not the way to state to have more self respect as Zerg.

I think its pathetic.

On Ladder before Patch 1.1 i encountered lots of Terrans.
After 1.1 and especially after 1.2 i meets lots of Zergs almost every second game and very few Terrans.

In my opinion its with those people that they are like a flag.
Whereever the wind at the moment just comes from they turn this way.

If you really have self respect you stay Terran or for maximum self respect you switch to Random.

Aaaannndddd good job missing TLO's not so subtle jab at Idra with that quote... it probably has NOTHING to do with why he switched.

Why on earth is this thread 36 pages long? A player switched races, because he felt another race suited him better. What's there to discuss?
Well, now I tell you, I never seen good come o' goodness yet. Him as strikes first is my fancy; dead men don't bite; them's my views--amen, so be it.

People freak out because they think it means TLO considers Z overpowered, or that he's being shortsighted, or that hes giving up too easily, etc.

The game's only been out a couple of months. It's best for players to try as many different playstyles and find the one that suits them while they still can. Nobody should feel 'pressured' into playing one race, because it will only hurt them in the end.

Of course TLO should play with the race whch suits him best.

But the timing of his switch is really bad for not questioning if the terran nerf/zerg buff was involved in it

switched to zerg when it was considered up, and now switching back to t . Though my only reason is i want to lose more and fight people around my apm level (not 3x more than me). Though imo zerg already was strongest with version 1.0. Won with terra, switched to zerg won even more switched to toss, won like i was playing terra. Well my hellion micro was awful after a while. And controlling speed lings against hellions was way easier, somehow. Baneling drops also way easier done then other drops. Well it was at a time were zerg would never use something like that, or build alot of spine crawlers+queens with transfure to hold up 4 gate pushs etc.

Right now zergs have become just more confident, and often choose the 14 drones instead of the 28 lings at the begginning. I think this is the biggest change why there are so much zergs right now. Often it ends up beeing unpished to pump out endless amounts of drones.

Well i think of myself of beeing below avg. Though somehow i ended up in diamond with my 30 apm, while my avg opponent has 100. I know its not a good comparsion. Anyway i want version 1 back, before hatcherys are 400 mins or queens 200 mins ^^;
