True enough. But like EG and Empire (w/ violet) they maintain a majority foreign lineup. It's just that the koreans keep winning and their foreigners keep losing.


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.

So IGN's response to NASL stepping up their game was to decide to cut 80% of their event funding and hire a crew of monkeys to produce their high profile SC2 tournaments? That's certainly what it looks like.

Other than that: Fuck yeah, Taeja!

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.

I can tell you how to beat him, All in him; they have no other chance.

The difference is Liquid has picked up Koreans that had few results and they've preformed exceptionally.


Taeja with few results? Are you joking?

Fewer results than the Koreans EG has picked up, which I feel clouds mambars judgement

This is not the coach's fault at all, players are just not winning.


Well, I was abit surprised about them sending Seed as starter - That's what it is, it could have been a very 'metagame' move, but then sending out Yongwha when the opponent is TaeJa, and not do a direct sniping build but a somewhat awkward 2base collossi timing, then I think one could say that the IM coach maybe could have played this out better... I dunno

But then again, if the objective was to force out TaeJa early, he succeded... Trouble is that you need to also kill him, not just lure him out
The first link of chain forged, the first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably.

Man taeja is playing at a level no other terrans are at this moment. At this very moment in sc2, i would put him up against any one in a box series and expect him to win. Hes looked so strong in the late game in this series, i think he has to be sniped for im to win right now.
Hey do you want to hear a joke? Chinese production value. | I thought he had a aegis- Ayesee | When did 7ing mad last have a good game, 2012?

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


funny how no other team was really looking to get him huh?

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

Sure. But while Taeja was established both Hero and Zenio were sort of mediocre before they played for Liquid.I feel like Liquid helped them a lot. But yes, Liquid is not some team taking foreigners to new heights.

TL came from the loser's bracket, they have to win 2 bo9's to win it

its a kinda redonkolous advantage to have from winners bracket, lol.


Not really. Everyone gets to lose one series.

1-2 game advantage seems more sane to me.

Also think of how exhuasting it will be for the casters and players if it goes to a full 18 games, the value of the commentary and plays will go down the drain :/

2 series is the only way double elimination makes sense.

Taeja has been a nobody before last few weeks and he's winning everything as terran... if only good players such as DRG or Losira would play terran they would be dominating cuz the race is just stupidly strong atm so even baddies can win with it

zerg has the easiest of all 3 races to get a 4th on that map


No one can take an easy 4th on that map. The middle is impossible to hold for long enough to be worth it. Any of the other bases are really far away by ground so with brood lords being so slow it's really easy to drop and kill them.

JYP was far below taeja in terms of results.
