I would love to see more infestor play from him. During the beta, he went ling/bling/infestor instead of ling/bling/muta or roach/hydra comps.

Switching to Zerg is a pretty wild change in just basic game play from Terran since they're so much more passive. Aggression seemed to be something that suited TLO more from my point of view. It'd be really cool if someone could get an interview with TLO about this decision and his reasons behind it and how the different play styles of the races will effect him and which he favors more.
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

Makes sense. TLO is a strong all-around player (as opposed to specialized, mono-race ones) and he's a beacon of creativity. I think that it would be interesting to see the way he can exploit the changes put forth by each new patch.



spin master right here.

On a side note i believe pre patch zergs deserve some credit for sticking to their guns (even though i never really thought they were UP much), we see a whole bunch of people switching/trying zerg our after only a couple weeks of this new patch


I agree. I have much respect for the people who make their race work, whether or not it's considered stronger than the others.

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.

I feel the same way. I guess whatever wins you games.

Much respect for those players who stuck with zerg and owned prepatch.

It doesn't seem like you have seen TLO play zerg.

One of my favorite games since beta of SC2 was TLO playing zerg in the HDH, game 2 of the semifinals i think against Nony on blistering sands. A crazy game if you ask me. Would LOVE to see more of that!

Again, this was not the way it was intended to appear.

He was already entered as playing Zerg at Blizzcon before 1.1.2 came out and it was a shock that it came out when it did as we were all expecting 1.1.2 in November

This is amazing news. I think it fits him better anyway, so I just consider him a zerg that was frustrated (i.e Dimaga, Fruitdealer) and switched; but he has returned! Go go TLO!

Fruitdealer is rather aggressive after lair tech, especially in ZvT. His baneling bombs are just relentless. I expect very entertaining zerg play from TLO. Not everyone has to play like Idra to be successful at Zerg =P

TLO was Random until Bliz buffed Terran to ridiculous levels. Since he had to choose a race for GSL it would have been stupid to not pick Terran. It's premature to say Zerg is stronger than Terran now. He was able to do creative and hilarious stuff with Terran in placement matches but you can't do that kind of stuff in tournaments. In a tournament setting Zerg will better suit his creativity.

Mmmmm, juicy. Can't wait to watch his take on Zerg.

Still, it's kinda disappointing that he spent all that time practicing Terran when he could have been practicing Zerg. It's gonna put him behind other players who devoted their full time to Zerg. Hopefully he'll catch up fast, and with his skill level, I'd say that's a real possibility.
Weird, last time I checked the UN said you need to have at least 200 APM and be rainbow league to be called human. —Liquid`TLO

Didn't he say the same thing about terran when he started to main terran?

I certainly have :p he was a crazy aggressive zerg back in the beta, but play has evolved quite a bit since then. Early aggression has always been more costly for zerg's as well due to the larva system, and the risk is much greater if it doesn't work. Maybe TLO will just play passive until midgame and then go crazy with drops and burrowed units and infestors etc. but those early pushes he very often used as Terran are gone.

Quite a strong expression of how broken lategame terran is at the moment really.

Yes, and read why he switched. Blizzard completely shut down T early game. He liked the aggression/harass which is no longer possible, thus T no longer fits his play style.

I don't mean to offend or anything. Was just basing it off your quote here.

I think you nailed it on the head well.

Dario has always felt that Zerg suited his play style the best and now that the early game options in Terran have been restricted he decided it was a suitable time to change. Expect more infestors, ultralisks and counter-attacking zerglings in the near future.
