When Taeja was about to lose his third, he managed to delay like a god. Like, positioning vikings so Young would have to move back for a couple seconds, than moving marines/maruders forward, lifting his cc to threaten a huge push, like Taeja managed to force so many moments where his opponets can make mistakes. Yes Youngwha choked, but don't take credit away from Taeja. Taeja did exactly everything he needed to to win that game. To be honest the positioning on his vikings is exactly what was bad about TaeJa's positioning at the 3rd base. He can park them on the cliff and Colossi won't do shit, but instead he parked them in open field where they can be killed or attacked at least. YongHwa choked so hard, its unbelievable. Losing 2 colossi against a nearly all marine/marauder force with no ghosts, he could have a-moved and at least let the colossi deal their damage before dying. Warping in 20+ zealots or at least having 4-5 templar as backup or as transition would have been the correct choice. TaeJa was very patient and his army control superb, but I would also say, YongHwa choked so hard that it was completely his loss. | ||

SC2 is terrible because YongHwa failed to transition to HTs in time? Or because YongHwa waited too long to attack thereby nullifying any advantage? Or is it because he lost 2 colossi for free before eventually being forced to engage? How is any of the above the reason that SC2 is terrible? Some people -.- | ||

He should have taken 2 bases in the time or had other tech going while he pressured there. Not having enough storms to chain them is a huge problem vs a maxed terran. This is why most protoss only go up to three colossi. 5 will get you a huge lead for a time, but the terran will just crush them down with way to many vikings. Using the vikings to focus down the nexus was really good too. It allowed Taeja to focus on holding the warp ins off. | ||

I love TaeJa too but that wasn't his victory I will praise the guy who can tell by a split second when he has the advantage over the guy who has a timing serves his army on a silver platter and then looses his colossi and quickly the game any day. Because a real pro knows exactly when he can end the game in standard scenarios, TaeJa did, Yonghwa didn't. If you wanna rag down on the defeated rather than praise the victor, go ahead but you're pulling attention away from the good what happened and focus on the bad that happend, it's kinda sad to see  | ||

Until then, his only error (well, if you call that an error) was to turn back with his colossi when taeja salvaged the bunkers. He could have end up winning quite easily. Imo YongHwa played very well, but made a few errors, allowing Taeja to come back (well, not giving the game though, it tooks Taeja great skill to do this). | ||
