MLG's Galen Andress has interviewed TeamLiquid's TheLittleOne ahead of MLG Dallas this weekend. With a new sponsorship from Sony Ericsson, TLO is under more pressure than ever to perform at the highest level. He gives some insight heading into Dallas, including a possible decision to stick with one particular race.

An excerpt:

MLG: You’ve experimented with different players more than just about anyone on the SC2 pro scene, moving from Terran, to Random, to Zerg, to Random and Terran. Have you decided on a race to play fulltime?

Liquid TLO: Oh well, I don't really wanna comment on that. I have been switching races and everything so many times now. Let's just say I will simply play what I feel most comfortable with.

MLG: So what race should we be expecting you to play in Dallas?

TLO: Terran.

MLG: After staying in Korea to train for the GSL for several months, you moved back to Europe. Is this a permanent change?

TLO: I decided to move back shortly after the last MLG Dallas. The injury definitely played a big role; I needed to take it easier for a while. Also I didn't feel that comfortable living in Korea. It is a very hard environment. Nobody speaks English and it's a very different culture. I think I am more happy than [when I was] living in Korea full-time, but I would definitely go there to play tournaments and visit for shorter times again.

MLG: The SC2 scene is growing at a tremendous rate in the west, with leagues and tournaments popping up everywhere. Not only is it more popular, but top-level foreigners are taking down top Koreans in notable tournaments such as the TSL and GSL World Championships. Do you think StarCraft 2 has a chance to become as competitive and popular in Europe and America as it is in Korea?

TLO: I think we are reaching a similar level and eventually we will even have a bigger and stronger scene in the West than in Korea. Korea is a very isolated country, far away from Europe and America, and—especially in StarCraft—there is not too much interaction with other countries.

Head over to MLG to read the full interview.

I hope he will still play zerg sometimes.
But he put the better games with terran, obviously.

Nice to hear. TLO's best race has always been terran imo.
I have a dream, that some day I wouldn't see any imba comments in GSL threads.

Aww I was hoping he would stay random

I really hope that someday we will get a random progamer. I understand why it's hard to pull off but I just feel like they would be so badass.

Maybe when Day[9] graduates he'll be the first :D

Glad he's picking a race. Random is exciting and all but I think he'll really take it to the next level by focusing on 1 race.

well, i hope if he trains terran more he will be in his old shape again ( he certainly performs not as good as he did coming fresh out of korea)

but i am always rooting for my favourite terran/random player; your autograph is hanging right above me - getting inspiration to play from it since gamescom 2010!

go tlo you can do it!

Terran honestly fits his play more anyway.

Zerg, and to a lesser extent Protoss, don't have the flexibility to do crazy shit every game.

Pretty much every unit in the Terran army is viable, except perhaps the Raven. Giving somebody like TLO room for creativity.

Out of round 1 :D

He hasn't been performing well, and without consistent builds he wont perform well in the future.

I doubt that he will stay Terran forever, I'm pretty sure he will play other races too
I play RANDOM!

Blanket statements FTW!

I disagree. There are tons of awesome things that P and Z can do, they just haven't been made viable yet (ie incorporated into a decent strategy). Ghosts with Nukes wouldn't have been considered viable in TvT just a couple of months ago, and now they are. The same thing could go with P and Z. Some examples: Mass Queens, mass Overseer, constant Warp Prism, Nydus awesomeness, fast Carrier etc.

T v T is the best matchup in the game. I cannot agree more!

TLO always entertains while he plays Terran, I'm glad he will continue doing that in MLG. I wish him the best of luck!

I feel like you just took those from the Day9 dailies. The point is those only work in the lower leagues. Even though they may work a tiny bit in masters, they are extremely easy to counter and people will counter it. The only strategies that would be fantastic in a pro game would be the overseer usage and the nydus play. Besides that you cant do too much crazy shit in pro tournaments because people will counter it instantly before you can use the strategy

IMHO your best race was always Terran. If you are deciding to play Terran then I am proud of you! Terranitup TLO!
