Have you ever taken any course in school that deals with statistics in the slightest? "1 person won with an inferior race, therefore there is no racial imbalance" is grade 3 reasoning, come on. in the same GSL you speak of 2nd 3rd and 4th were all terrans who were definitely not as skilled as some of the people they left behind. Over the last few months so many crappy terran players (not to say all of them suck because thats not true, but a lot of them were) have been placing high because of the strength of their race. Race may not win you tourneys, but it sure as hell helps you place farther. I believe TLO changed because he liked zerg's style (usually his most creative plays have been with zerg) but he definitely played terran for such a long time because of their strength | ||

Or perhaps he has enough confidence that he's willing to change to an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT RACE with limited practice and then enter a tournament. | ||

But then I guess you don't think TLO has Fruitdealer's potential to be an extraordinary player. Sure you can probably win a little more just to follow the race buffs. But you don't go far by doing so. | ||

I hope you are right. I'll be happy if he can go further in GSL 3 with zerg. Hell, I'll even settle if he can qualify again. Let's see. | ||

He switched to Zerg because it's suddenly on par with the other races, and also because Terran is really constrained in all non-mirror matchups. Some people like doing the exact same shit in every game, where the only variables are timing. Some people don't. But it's cool that you felt you had to make a TL account just so you could bitch about TLO. | ||

if zerg suits his playstyle best, then he only chose terran in the beginning because they were OP at that time. but i still wish him gl. im just sad i wont see inspiring T play from him anymore. | ||

I don't know whether it's true, but your logic is just terrible. | ||

now that zerg is more balanced, i think he feels safe switching races. terran just wasn't the race for him. he has not been doing very well at all since release. i still <3 u though, TLO | ||

it's good to try out different races, but i don't think the game has matured enough for progamers to fully commit to terran anyway. blizzard has already announced their patch jihad on them. | ||

it'd be awesome if there was a random player playing as random in tourneys at this point though | ||

You'd think he chose Terran because Zerg was constrained in the early game. If I know anything about TLO it's that he doesn't want to use these supposedly OP cookie cutter strategies like 5 rax reaper. Just look at the replay from Blizzcon, game 2 with Sen. + Show Spoiler + He 10 pools into a really early Roach Burrow/movement build, and then moves into Infestors and Ultras. He actually got pretty well ahead of Sen, defeating a much bigger army with great fungals and micro and doing some really nice drone killing with burrowed infestors. The only problem was that he fell behind in upgrades and Sen's mass roach was so much more effective vs the Ultras thanks to the range buff. If he was still playing pre-buff Zerg he would have almost certainly won. | ||

Fruitdealer, Sen, Idra, CheckPrime, TLO I know it sounds crazy to rate him so high, but do you guys really think TLO's Zerg is worse than Zenio, The Wind, Slush, Dimaga, Artosis, Machine, Ret, Haypro, Ogs Cezenna, NesTea, Luffy, Or am i just being too much of a Fan Boy? You are a fanboy. He definitely isn't better than Zenio/theWind/Dimaga at zerg for sure. | ||

Nice to have another zerg but I can't say TLO or Morrow will come close to impressing me to the original zergs out there, should stick to terran and keep the fan base happy. TLO fans don't think of him as Terran. They think of him as Random. | ||
