As I remembered TL Attack from back in BW and also the short one with TLO from when SC2 was new, it was often the player himself who came up with some handicap or instead of a handicap the player would just chose to play a strategy that was very unorthodox. TLO would go mass ghost vs zerg, spine crawler rush vs a protoss etc. Those were the moments that I loved about TL Attack. I hope we get to see more of that in the future instead of some moderator coming up with a boring handicap that the player is forced into.

The problem is the skill gap between Masters and GM in SC2 is much smaller than C/B to A in BW. Pros in BW could go crazy strats against good players (C) and still win, whereas in SC2 a GM playing a masters player has to play pretty straight up or else they'll just get rolled by a timing. The TLO video you where referring to was him playing placements, so not masters-level players like they usually get on TL attack.
