Terran used to be defined by early aggression, since they need to do damage or else they will fall behind in macro against Protoss and Zerg. Now that most early aggression has been nullified by the new patches, Terran's options in the early game have significantly been limited, and the diversity of options and ability to innovate was probably what TLO enjoyed as Terran. Blizzard should have made early aggression more costly, so that Terran's macro will be punished significantly from early aggression like it was in Brood War (you had to do damage in Brood War through early rushes or else you fall massively behind because of no mules) rather than just getting rid of it altogether. Anyways, still not sure about this move, but I wish TLO the best of luck. It would rock to see TLO kick ass as Zerg. | ||

That's the way he should play. When he was random, he found a high percentage of losses, so he race-picked Terran and Zerg. When he started losing more with Zerg, he focused on Terran, which he had for a while stated that he would choose if he had to choose one. Now he finds himself losing more with Terran so he switches to Zerg which he presumably has a higher win rate with. That's what all players SHOULD do, especially sponsored players/teams. | ||

He can do those things because of his solid understanding of all 3 races.terran gets strong he goes to terran, zerg gets strong he goes to zerg lets see if he will stick to a race not dissing him in anyway, i actually really liked how he played zerg, i kind of hope he sticks with it this time. | ||

He was planning to switch before 1.1.2 but it forced his hand when it arrived and negated his early game Terran. I do believe he was going to race pick at Blizzcon but changed his mind entirely once 1.1.2 came out. | ||

It's sad to see another foreigner Terran leaving the field though, I hope more of them will fill his shoes in the upcoming seasons. (Looking at you, Select). | ||

TLO HAS DECIDED he wants to play zerg at blizzcon (so hes on the verge of switching to zerg) Patch comes out TLO says okay its time, *switch* DONE. | ||

I do enjoy his zerg play tho. Oh and don't give me the whole "he always thought Zerg was best for his playstyle." If that was the case he should of played zerg like everyone else who stuck with it. Again, obviously he is free to do anything, but don't try to defend it with "well he was going to eventually anyway." Ultimately though, I hope he is very successful as zerg. He will now always be under the radar of Idra, and maybe even Dimaga, whereas as terran he was on top. You can for sure say though that TLO left his impact on the terran world... he made nukes a viable strat in positioning wars. | ||

I don't think this is quite fair as the reason people loved TLO so much was not only that he came up with creative strats and won, but that he also played random. Unfortunately his Protoss was hindering his play and GSL is a little more strict on switching around. But I'm all for TLO mixing it up. It would be awesome if he could still go random. | ||

I'm really disappointed. TLO has been my favorite player and SC2 figure aside from Day[9], so I'm pretty upset. That said, he's an awesome guy and I know I'll still love watching his games (his Zerg ones are sweet, too). Besides, BoxeR has been getting me really excited about Terran, and his games against FruitDealer? Epic. | ||
