Massively disappointing game. YongHwa with the strategy, the massive macro, the enormous punishment of Taeja's economy. Taeja with the turtle in to stim a move. Taeja wins....

wtf?
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.


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.


Taeja's decision making was average at best. He sat in chokes while being attacked by colossi and only wasn't killed because he had tons of vikings on hold position. His expansions were late and his attempts to attack ended up overextending and doing more damage to himself, except for the last one, where he just attacked in to a maxed army and a ton of cannons and just killed it.

It has nothing to do with "my favourite team" (my favourite team is StartaleQ) - it has to do with the fact that I enjoy good games where the better player is rewarded, not just sycophantically supporting the foreign team because I wasn't born in South Korea.

MVP was doing that after August to the end of the year, maybe in 4 months we'll debate but for now MVP's peak is so much higher than taeja.

Why does everyone have go to one extreme or the other?

Did Yongwha excute that game perfectly? No, he had big lead and with better decision making he would have won that game.

Did Taeja play really well to get back from the deficit? Yes, he did. He took every advanteged of every piece that was handed to him and turtled well and put on the pressure at the right time and microed like a beast, like always ^^

yeah, he's been doing well.

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...


Stephano's reads and Mvp's mechanics.

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.


the one battle where taeja stormed into the protoss 4th and killed everything..the game was over at that point. hence..one big engagement and you are done. MOST of the time, especially in PvT. How is that hard to understand.
