taeja played so badly. game 2 he got supply blocked ffffffffffoooorrrrrrever, didnt even drop a depot..maybe it was his pride. then his army was attacking rocks while his 3rd was getting shelled. game 3, his handling of the second and third banshee wasn't too good. his biggest mistake of the game tho was not moving down his ramp and sieging his natural after he saw forgg moving through the middle with his scv. he had time but he just immediately sieged above his ramp and ended up getting contained. forgg didn't even have siege at the time.

Not to impressed by either of them today. Taeja played pretty poorly, and ForGG. Eh.

Game 1 was really bad and game 2 was just weird but I thought fOrGG played very well in game 3. It's not anything MVP-like but fOrGG pretty much made every decision correctly. Successfully setting up the soft contain, taking the gold because he knew he would be safe, timing the reinforcements to intercept Taeja's drop perfectly, keeping his marines active around the map which allowed him to snipe all of Taeja's vikings, perfect timing again when sieging up Taeja's expansion, good tank and viking positioning throughout the whole game. None of these things are exciting or new, but you need these kind of strong fundamentals to become a great player and so from that game fOrGG showed he has them.

Oh and it seems PvP is still horrible.

And now comes the moment of truth - can Tassadar make the miracle and knock out Taeja? I believe!

Tassadar going to win for sure. I remember him doing the same thing against Keen in the GSTL, and it's kind of annoying to deal with unless you get medivacs really fast.

He is very patient with his blink micro here.

EDIT: Taeja's thankful for liftoff now

very interesting game 2. I thought for sure that Tassadar had it in the bag, but he couldn't quite bust Taeja completly fast enough. Once Taeja had 4 medivacs and a decent clump of marauders he got too cost efficient. Maybe Tassadar should have expanded behind his blink stuff instead of trying to win outright there.

I'm facepalming so hard now....... Tassadar had a ton of minerals, he should have sent a couple of probes around on the map the moment he saw Taeja going for the base race. And throw down a Nexus and a stargate. Grrrr
