Craziest Winning Scenario: Goes down 0-3, comes back to win the final four games, and TeamLiquid has to be shut down for a few hours due to to the amount of people that need to be banned from the LR thread.

I'm ready!

Go Taeja! I believe in you!!! Real talk, I really, really hope Taeja wins. He's one of my favorite Terrans and he deserves a GSL Championship.

Taeja's current win rate vs Z is like 68%. Really annoyed that the write up makes a big deal of Roros zvt but doesn't even mention that Taejas tvz is also his best match up.
Look at his history with tvz in the GSL since season 2 of last year he has only last 2 matches in a tvz. One to soulkey and one to life. During that time period he beat DRG 3 times, Leenock 2 times, Violet, Nestea and Soulkey. I realize that some of those are before his injury but when his injury has at most caused him to lose ONE match in tvz (the first series vs soulkey) and he has still had some big wins after the injury it still holds some weight. On top of that his last matches in tvz vs DRG and Soulkey really showed him playing much more like his former self. This will be a much closer series than what some people think.

Taeja 4-3!

This prediction has crossed over from realism into cynicism. Not that I can blame the writers after all we've seen. But 4-1 Roro? The facts give Taeja a much better chance than that:

Taeja overcame a heavily favoured zerg opponent in Soulkey last round. Soulkey has a similar zvt and overall skill level to Roro, which is to say, monstrous. Soulkey also had a further advantage in having smashed Taeja 2-0 earlier this GSL.
Taeja's tvz is also monstrous. If he wins this, I think it will be fair to say it's the best in the world. He has a 68% win in korea and 75% abroad. That averages to about 72% which is very close to Roro.
Roro lost to MKP earlier this GSL, which gives Taeja a roadmap to beat Roro. In both games, Roro lost to early timing attacks he wasn't prepared for. If Taeja has taken notes, he can exploit this weakness.
Roro has shown a strong tendency to go for early aggression and all-ins. In the ro32 he 9/10-pooled no less than 3 times. These are easily defended by a savvy terran and can put the zerg far behind.
We've been talking about Taeja's wrists every round but frankly there's no evidence it's been a factor. His APM has stayed well over 300 whenever I've seen it.
Taeja is favoured 70-30 by statistical prediction

I still think Roro is favoured here just because he's a zerg but it's going to very close. I'll give him 4-3 but it's like 55-45...Taeja can definitely take this "upset." And that is not just the fan of e-sports in me talking.

Taeja fighting! He deserves this Code S title, its the Code S that should have been his after the summer of Taeja. I hope that every Terran on the planet WAS giving him whatever he needed to help him win, I think every non-pro terran should be watching him play tonight and pouring the thoughts of every sick marine split, every perfect drop, every crushing 11/11, every super-slick skyterran switch that they've ever achieved and sending it Taejas way because dear god this kid deserves a title and dear god again, the last thing anyone (except roro) wants to see is Symbol vs Roro.

Nice prediction, hoping the curse helps us out here ^_^

YES! Fionn predicted Roro 4-1!

TAEJAAAAAAAAAAAAAA :D

Profile #
TaeJa needs to go Super Saiyan. Pleaseeee!

Edit: Oh yeah, both Fionn and Artosis think he's going to lose. So... uh... the curse(s) better exist.

I saw the prediction and I smiled, even Fionn is what he can to help esports.

Hopefully the stars align for a TvZ final to send off WoL GSL

*searching for author searching for author* Yes! Combined with Artosis just picking RorO on SotG, eSports shall live!

Did fionn pick roro on purpose 0.o
Aw well, Taeja fighting!!!! May the gods (flash, MVP, iloveoov, boxer) be ever in your favour!

You guys do realize that relying on the Fionn CurseTM will trigger the even stronger Fionn AntiCurseTM provided that a critical mass of people (and liquibets) rely on it. This also happens if Fionn tries to ReverseCurseTM someone to victory.

hoping for 4-3 taeja win, a tvz final would be great, while azvz would be super anti-climatic.

I can only suspect that Fionn is well aware of his track record in predictions and predicted 4-1 for Roro over Taeja on purpose.

How can you say Taeja will only take 1 game after Taeja has beaten Soulkey and DRG to get here.
