he said this when he swapped to terran, however, i loved his zerg style in beta so gl! Dario only chose T above Z cause he disliked dying too so cheesy builds. Now that reapers are kind of nerfed and Roaches can easily hold of hellions...

to bad i liked his terran play style, zerg has some super neat moves as well but not that many (or maybe they weren't discovered hehe) and you don't need to use them in order to win just survive till you have 4 hatches with queens. and the terran just doesn't know where to put all his buildings to keep up with the production xD.
Wonder if some zerg will start building a nydus at every hatch and rally their units into it and won't show whats inside till you move out to attack them. Well atm its roaches/infestors anyway since they are even better than hydras xD (well didn't tested it exactly but you really should only throw in a little amount of hydras in zvz just to be save against a fast muta conter) . or anything else atleast it looks the way in the matches.

Dario did not switch because Zerg is the flavour of the month in imbalance (and I think Blizzcon proved that). Instead he just enjoys the gameplay more and feels he can do better. All the team fully support him in his decision.
We may release replays from his Zerg practice over the last month in a future weekly.

noooooo TLO
why do you do this to me?!
|
heh, I guess Kennigit on Nazgul's acct prematurely closed this ^^
|
Well, it's not like he randomly decided to switch to zerg; he's played it a bunch before, and a lot of people have said before that they'd like to see him switch.
|
It's my dream to see TLO neural parasite a ghost and launch a nuke, if that's even possible. I don't care if he has to build up all the tech structures after mind controlling an SCV 8 times, I want to see it happen.

I hope you understand that when the article says that "TLO was always felt that Zerg suited his play style" means that he always liked Zerg more then Terran. Implying that he played Terran because he didn't feel that he could be compete at a pro level with Zerg. So since Zerg is fine now(well almost, some maps need changing) TLO is free to play the race that he has always wanted to play. I was going to give an analogy, but if you can't understand why he's switching races then you wouldn't understand my analogy.

I don't think this is racehopping. Afterall he did swap from R to T before, when Z was ridiculously weak and his P wasn't that great. He made T one of the more powerful races if you guys don't recall. popularising 1/1/1. I'm sure he'll have some good ideas with Zerg.
Don't forget, he's always been a good Zerg player. This isn't Morrow trying to switch to Z.

Welcome to the swam XD It's better here

only one person is able to make an analogy of such insightfullness...

cool. He and Idra should learn from each other. It'll be like when July entered T1 and couldn't agree with gorush on anything
|
I don't care what TLO does as long as he keeps playing because he is so entertaining to watch. Don't let the haters get you down TLO. I also don't find it strange because I remember he was still referring to himself as a Terran/Zerg player a while back.

I think he should have stayed random.

<3 TLO I am his biggest fan now. It is hard to not love that guy. He comes up with such crazy strategies and makes them work.
|
I'm worried he won't have enough practice time to succeed in GSL3, seeing as he's been training terran this whole time and has just made ro32.

personally i always saw him as both a zerg and a terran player (even now) despite how much more often he picked terran lately. i figured he just couldn't deny the terran dominance in tourneys and lack of zerg potency. perhaps the patch and fruitdealer gave him the hope many zergs have been given.
i've always thought his zerg was better anyway so good for him for picking what he's comfortable with. TLO is so adaptive to situations that i really think the 1-building macro production which lets your compositions be a lot more flexible suits him. TLO always seems to be ahead of the pack in terms of the current style flavors of the race he plays, so i'm super excited to see what he can brew up. a large portion of major terran strats were basically created by TLO, and it's been a long time so i don't think he can do the same for zerg, but i find it impossible to believe he won't innovate.
and LOL at people thinking that zerg is suddenly not weaker just because you can't auto-win with early rushes and roaches have 1 more range. in fact the lack of auto-lose is probably why dario feels comfortable switching back, like some people have suggested

Unfortunately GSL didn't allow him to race pick so he went to Terran full time as he felt it was his strongest matchup. Unfortunately he isn't happy with it so he's basically erased several months of learning. However, we have full confidence he will learn rapidly.
