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. | ||

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 | ||

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 | ||

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. | ||

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. 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. | ||

Was just basing it off your quote here. On October 24 2010 01:55 Heosat wrote: 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. | ||
