No he had a big lead in both of those game.He botched both of it SUPER HARD. Today his control was SUBPAR and his defense against drop was horrendous when he was suppose to be good at it.
He has crushes people like MMA and MVP with this style.
Taeja and Ace both seem like they have no place in the ro16. It's a shame one of them advances over some of the people we've seen this week (maru, parting, happy). Luck of the draw I guess.

It's pretty clear his understanding of SC2 is extremely high and at times has been way ahead of other Zergs, but if the game changes you have to change with it even if you found your own unique playstyle earlier than others did.
The game has only changed in his favour (zerg got buffed) - how do you need to adapt to that? He can play exactly the same way and do better? He was over cocky today and paid the price for that

Yo Nazgul, this might be a stupid question, but is there a coach at the studio to assist Taeja?

He did have a big lead but it seems that Leenock doesn't play that lead out with the same intent as other Zergs. That is, with the intention to get to a broodlord army as safe and fast as possible.

I very much get the feeling he's just not practised enough since the latest patch.

Taeja was in the quarterfinals last season, are you serious...?

TaeJa's brother coaches him for GSL, and he requested for him to be with him when he plays, which we agree to. I don't specifically know if he is there today but he usually is.
