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.



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.


- And that's my point. Yongwha choked and made bad decisions; but decisionmaking is a big friggin part of what makes you good at starcraft. Read the damn post.

People! Players have to be ready for them to start. It's not IPL's call on when to start the game...
Even during difficult times, when I sat down to play the game, there were times where it felt like god has descended down and played [for me].

So there's gonna be a 20-30min break every game? I hope this isn't planned, because if it is, that's just terrible.

Yeah, MVP is more of a bonjwa than Taeja.

MVP may be remembered as the first bonjwa


By people who have no idea what bonjwa means, I guess... Unless he steps it up massively but I would rather his wrists don't implode

The thing is that sure, Mvp has had the longest and strongest stretch of domination than any other SC2 pro. But even that is not enough to be worthy of the bonjwa title. Maybe StarCraft 2 just doesn't allow for a bonjwa to arise, or maybe the scene is still too volatile. We'll just have to wait and see.

Given how SC2 is divided into 3 expansions he's pretty much cemented his place in Wings of Liberty history, at least.

Seriously if events need time fillers, they need their own Behind the scenes production with a desk of former players and a host similar to how the NFL has Half time breaks, detailing stats and what not...I don't want to listen to radio when there is no games going on...

Or something of that sort

You said it yourself, right now the scene is just too volatile for one person to dominate for the amount of time needed to qualify as a "Bonjwa", honestly the only people using that word right now are those who never watched BW enough to know what it actually means.

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.


and sheth's heart



(not literally, that would be pretty bad as he's morbidly fat and will probably have to face the consequences soon)


and Nony's charisma!
