Polt is right below that, staying in the company of MMA, theSTC, Supernova, MVP, Jjakji, etc.


Getting picked by TL doesn't bring you to this kind of status, even when you want to believe that. :<


Nothing to do with being picked up by TL. Taeja is there because he's very solid in all three match-ups, which is the same for MKP. He's Rank 1 in ELO because he's beaten a shit load of top players.


TaeJa is rank1 ELO because he stomped Korean Weekly, which are played by mostly Code B players. ( which are good, but code B for a reason )


Uh, no. His recent matches in the GSL:

3-2 Jjakji
2-0 DRG
2-0 Squirtle
2-0 Lucky

He's never shown the match up weakness that MMA vs. Protoss and MVP vs. Protoss are, and IIRC people in Korea are saying that his TvZ is unbeatable at the moment. That leaves TvT, and he stomped Jjakji in TvT in two separate tournaments, so where does that leave him?

I disagree that he's the best, but I don't like how everyone is dismissing your opinion for TL fanboyism... come on guys.

ok I'm sure I follow SC2 well enough to know that this is not true unless I missed something huge(and no TL signing teaja does not give him such a rank).

sadly thats how it goes on TL

btw anyone watching World Snooker Championship right now :p


... You're on TL, why aren't you hyping him?

Taeja being on TL in no way affects my opinion of him - he's there because every other top Terran minus MKP has a weakness, but he doesn't.

Taeja isn't Top 5 Terran, yet alone Top 10 to be honest.

1. MarineKing
2. MMA
3. Mvp
4. Jjakji
5. Polt
6. aLive
7. Supernova
8. Ganzi
9. Bomber
10. GhostKing

Well, not only Nerchio, he must also defeft Socke, which is also very hard at offline events.

And yes, i hope that Socke will take the hole thing!


As a HuK fan I am okay with this as Socke and the extended series rule handed HuK a crucial win after socke's UNBELIEVABLE run at the MLG winter championship


Neah....Huk is a pvp wall. Socke would have fall anyway.
Mess with the best, die like the rest.

sickest TvP for a foreigner terran is not enough to take down top 2 best protoss in the world at the current metagame.

ehh his play this season of gsl makes me think it was more of a lucky run than actually being one of the best protoss in the world.

Because falling to Naniwa's PvP and Supernova's TvP is something to be ashamed about.

uhh did you watch his games this season? VERY shaky (not just that group stage you are referring to but the group stage before that too)

I must say, the play list i've been listening to while having skyrim on my other monitor has been amazing this weekend.

Occasionally though the amazing music stopped and some people came on to talk "cast" a game of "starcraft"...

So a few wins makes him the top Terran player in the world? People think MarineKing still has a lot to prove to get that status lol, TaeJa has everest to climb in comparison.

If you're going to call Mvp's TvP bad (it's not), I'd say TaeJa's tvt was never TOP TOP TOP notch either (neither is Jjakji's, by the way).

Nah its still really good. No one micros TvP battles like him. He actually stutters back fighting zealots while vikings kill colossus, and he has very good EMP aim. Most people stim and split, lose vikings or miss with EMPs, or any combination of them.

He's Rank 1 in ELO because he's beaten a shit load of top players in ESV weekly.

He did beat DRG and Jjakji recently but let's wait at least until he reaches the final.

As a big Ghostking fanboy, i agree. Taeja is a level above Ghostking, and while it's gonna be very hard i expect him getting out of his group in Code S.
