The only matchup where Terran isn't constrained to one army composition is TvT. I'm glad he's switching, mid-to-late game Zerg is a lot more versatile and will suit his play better.
There are other players who have impressive MMM drop play, I'd rather be impressed by TLO's midgame craziness, and Zerg is the race for doing that.

Well it will be interesting to see how he does

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. Eh. He's done fine playing straight-up; to me it feels more like when he tries gimmicks he fails.
Not trying to be a troll here or anything. I'm a big TLO fan myself. But coming to think about what was posted there i was wondering if TLO actually ever won any tournament so far. I know about what happened in the recent big ones, but what about stuff in the beta or before he went to Korea. Anyone know?

OMG THIS IS EXCITING NEWS!
TLO WITH ZERG IS SO SICK!

I'm almost positive he has won next to nothing. He did quite well in the TLI(?) in the beta, but he never won anything in the beta. Post release, I believe he won some tournament against Dimaga that I can't remember the name of.

Yeah, after going 19-57 against zerg since the patch, i think its clear zerg is the stronger race against terran. ive long suspected this and i play zerg as my offrace. I am thinking of making the same move, zerg is really strong, especially against terran.
Zerg fits my style as well, of aggressively expanding and being agressive. zerg really has alot of options, especially late game. TLO said it himself, terran is restricted to tier 1 units in the late game. while other races can get these huge, mobile units late like ultras.
good choice from TLO, im thinking of doing the same, im gonna lose some more against Z before i do it.

Everyone SAYS it's true, and he did play Zerg at Blizzcon.

Wait, I thought this thread was closed a while back?
Color me confused :p.
|
the reason i'm a fan of TLO (and maybe there's such hype, possibly) is because his games are exciting
and zerg is a very exciting race
|
Assimilation, successful. I'm looking forward to his Zerg play though I am sad we lose another pro Terran D:
|
I don't see this as a surprise at all.
I'm really not sure why he doesn't fix/work on his toss and just start playing random again. He's definitely a strong player but he needs to be able to outplay opponents a lot better rather than relying so much on specific unit advantages in matchups.

TLAF-Liquid will not have a single player qualify for GSL 3.
Did you SEE some of those players in the Ro64?
If those guys can get in, so can the TLAF-Liquid guys, easily.
There is a lot of luck involved though.

haha if anything, TLO is the last person you can insult for switching to zerg, since he randomed so well for so long. i mean, if you think zerg is currently stronger, and have played enough zerg that switching won't take too long to retrain, there's nothing stopping you from switching =P

I hope he does well whichever race he picks.
Now I wonder who TLAF-TL might pick up to strengthen its terran lineup. With TLO off to zerg, it's only Jinro left, right?
|
As long as he can beat Idra, I am fine.
|
Yeah. Jinro better start qualifying.
