It would be quite interesting to see how GSL 3 qualifiers play out since sometimes it's just luck getting matched with great players or the mediocre ones.

I never liked TLO. Honestly I don't think he has the natural talent needed to succeed against the best in korea. I don't even think he's good enough to beat top foreigners. To me he's always been a flashy player with a big fanbase because of stupid shit like "TLOwnage" or his "creative" play, but when it comes to actual straight up matches he falls flat. I guess the reason for his switch is that now terran isn't as strong against zerg say a month ago, so makes more sense switching to zerg. To me this is still pretty stupid because IMO PvZ is still broken in high levels and zerg is by far the hardest race to play because it's mostly defensive, so he should do even worse in tournament results now.

Sorry to hurt anyone's feelings but this is just how I feel.

Well it wasn't out of the question that they wouldn't for one or two either. Doesn't really mean anything.


What it means is that the Liquid clan will not be able to compete in korea.

TLO at least will have a good seed once the seeding comes into play so I very much doubt he wont qualify when that happens.

From what's been seen, the GSL qualifiers are a crapshoot. It's entirely random, with no seeding whatsoever, so there's no REAL way to say someone will or won't make it; it's entirely up to who they face.

Have they said they're going to start seeding?

I've always thought that TLO's zerg play was the best out of the three choices.

Eh. He's done fine playing straight-up; to me it feels more like when he tries gimmicks he fails.

Well good for you.

He's a better Z player than he is T, imo. I just watched his 2nd game against Sen, really cool game that he almost won.

I'm not entirely sure why he switched but the current state of Terran is one that definitely doesn't suit his playstyle. Terran right now has one real build against Z that needs to win the game early, it's boring to play. Against toss it's even more limited.

Keep in mind that he was always a Random player and his strong races were T and Z. He picked T at launch because he was sane.

Sweet. Zerg needs a swarm leader who will switch it up. IdrA can show us the clear path of macro zerg, but that's about it. ^^

YES TLO you're the man. I don't know why, but I always root for the underdog, though I don't really believe that zerg is the underdog anymore, I now root only because of fanboyism. TLO fighting ~~~~!
really?

Why would you visit a thread to put down one of the most inspiring foreign players? I don't understand some people on this site.. I was a TLO fan in Beta when he has random, I was a fan when he picked between Terran/Zerg, I was a fan when he announced he was going to main terran, I'm still a fan now that he's announcing zerg. TLO is an amazing player and anyone who says other wise is, pardon my french, fucking moronic.

Because some people can't be happy unless they shit all over everything that they don't personally like.

Yeah, he didn't get past Ro64 this GSL but he was up against a really high caliber player mere days after a giant nerf fest to half his build orders.

If he'd played against the kind of scrub most "higher level" players were put up against, he'd have gotten just as far as Idra has so far.

I think TLO is a fun zerg to watch and hoped that he would have switched sooner. Its too bad that he switches in the midst of Zerg buffs and terran nerfs but all in all Im pretty happy with his decision.

TLO's Zerg play was what made me start playing Zerg in the first place! I'm so amazingly glad he's switching to the swarm for full time. While he did have some awesome terran strategies, Zerg is definitely where he belongs

I do feel that Zerg currently has the largest potential to explore. It's the most complex race due to the additional resource larvae.
