Taeja's results right now are so freaking insane you have to double take when you see them. I mean, his win rate in this tournament is over 90%, and people are considered reliable at a 55-60% win rate. He's just on freaking fire.
Not saying Nestea will crush Taeja  I expect it to be really close and am rooting for TL :D But slaying a player such as Nestea even if its in team league will just be another sick achievement by Taeja. Suprised he doesnt have kill marks on the back of his keyboard for all the GSL champion's he's beaten XD

another bo9? what?????? am I hearing this right? It's double elim and TL is coming from the loser's side. They've made that very clear all tournament long. so that means teaja has to win 10 games in a row?
No it completely resets after the first Bo9. So even if Taeja loses against NesTea or whoever is the 5th IM player he can still play in the next Bo9

Ahah, dunno why, that made me laugh a lot.

Yeah, but that doesn't exactly make them this underdog foreigner community team anymore

And when they signed TaeJa, he was just one of many slayers terran, with a nice record in online cups.
Not the " I win everything and can't lose a match " kind of player yet.

Taeja with few results? Are you joking?

Yet the transition usually works across all competitive games. And unlike physical sports there are no obscuring factors like height.

Can someone explain to me why 2 Bo9's are being played, regardless of outcome? Am I misunderstanding this?
|
Im guessing taeja can be switched out once he all kills IM here right? and then Liquid can send out 3-4 more players in the 2nd Bo9 to give him some rest.

Watch GSTL, knocked out in first round and so far they've wasted Yonghwa and Losria, Nestea should have come out much sooner..
People disagreed with me when I said IM are lacking depth because no one on their team can beat Taeja other than Seed Nestea or YoDa (who will probably be their Ace)

There's a reason most zergs hate the map. Hard as hell to take it and easier for terran/toss to take a fourth until late game hits. Just take the fourth by the watch tower as thats expanding towards the zerg which is what terran/toss want to do and easy to defend.

It's funny because there's no team. It's just IM against Taeja to see if one of them can get a win against him.
Is like the final boss, and they are taking turns to get roflstomped till they figure out how to beat him.

If IM wins the first it is over, Liquid has to win two because they are coming from losers.

I don't know y'all... NesTea hasn't been as good for a while now. Moreover, if ByuN did it handily even with NesTea having plenty of time to prepare for their Bo5... I do hope for an amazing TvZ regardless. TaeJa hwaiting~~ ^^

You are. If Liquid wins they have to win an other bo9, because they are comming from the loosers bracket. If IM wins it's over.

Multiple all kills, tons of ESV championships (Including their massive grand prix) RO4 code A, multiple code S appearances. Yeah few.
