Nah, not even close yet.



Taeja shows the potential to be it though.
Just needs to step up in GSL.

But still like you said, not even close.

i hate how sc2 always comes down to 1 big battle and if you lose you are done. like 9 macro games out of 10, even if one player takes small leads all game if he loses one fight hes done. especially PvT
you were watching right?
They maintained tension on one position for like 10 minutes, how that game was 'one big battle' is a mystery to me.

Taeja microed his army perfectly the entire game.


Vikings on hold position either above bunkers or above dead space. Repeatedly stims when they aren't actually engaging and when he doesn't have enough medivacs to recover the health. Sits army behind his third base. None of those things are "perfect" micro. The only impressive micro he did all game was the marauder lift at the end and that was pretty much just showboating.

The game was massively disappointing because the player who was ahead all game suddenly ended up not ahead because the other guy attacked in to him and there was nothing he could do about it.

That's why SC2 is terrible


for someone paying so much attention, your conclusions are pretty fucking awful. in tvp the units that actually matter cannot be replaced after a max in time to get back. knowing this at a 5k ish resource bank, things toss needs to do, drops to cripple the other guys econ, not just 1 where they units afk attack the barracks.

sack workers because duh

add additional robos, 5k resources to warp in stalkers isnt gonna cut it.

the list goes on and on, yongwha got to max and then didnt know what to do, 16 gates on 4 base max isnt enough and his upgrades, due to his build choice, werent good.

there was so much wrong with how he played out the end of the game, now taeja made mistakes too but sc2 isnt a shit game because you dont like thinking about things beyond "hurr durr stimmed marauders killed stuff"

MVP may be remembered as the first bonjwa

I think you mean 4 straight GSLs, and a myriad of other high profile tournaments.

But yes.

LOL

That's got to be the biggest simplification of any game, ever.

TaeJa has incredible decision making, something that is just as quantifiable to the observer and as important as macro or micro.

I know you're disappointed that your favorite team is getting their ass handed to them by a 17 year old, but don't try to oversimplify and thereby discredit great play like that.



Wowowowow..... Yonghwa could have done the LOLOOLLO A-move. But his decision making caused him to go back and let TaeJa recuperate. Watch the damn game. That game was not in TaeJa's hands.

Funny because their website said the Team League stuff should be done by 3PM PST. We've had 3 games so far and It's taken 2 and a half hours. If TL takes the first set... this is going all night.

any high master terran/toss players here kinda not as "awestruck" as everyone else in this thread?


first of all... wtf... if the toss simply a-moved in the final battle he would have won considering 30 extra zealots from his massive bank would warpin and join the fight soon... he backed off as vikings sniped collossi... wtf...

i mean taeja is the best but im not as "omg omg giddly" as everyone here im mostly just thinking wtf how can a toss player be so clueless he spent 2000 minerals in cannons right before the final battle then runs away when a-moving and warping in zealots would have let him win

taeja is impressive im not talking him down... just sayin that last game was no reason to drop your jaws


Taeja has a better version of the HuK factor. Whenever a player has a winning position against him, they inexplicably drop the ball.


weirdest thought.... Taeja is like the combination of the best parts of Stephano and Huk... @_@

nonsensical explanation: ridiculous fortune and seemingly instinctive understanding of the game, amazing positioning with occasionally sloppy macro, balls of steel...


I don't see much or Stephano or HuK in Taeja. He reminds me more of Nony, to be honest.

IM (as QIM) did get AKed in the first Bo9 in the TAC 1 finals, then they proceeded to win. Would be crazy if it happened again xD

The funny thing about watching Losira play ZvT is that he always plays so ridiciously safe. I remember when he used to 10 drone scout + 14 hatch 14 pool during the era of 15 hatch (16-17 pool).

I don't know if he's honestly scared of early game barracks plays, or if he's that confident in his zvt late game.
