liquid came in through the losers bracket, and so if they win this one, they 'tie' the series and need to have another BO9 to win the whole tournament

Something has to nerf Taeja so IM has a chance...

You sly fox you

I'm wondering what IM is going to do differently in the second Bo9, because they threw everything at Taeja already and I can't see Yoda almost RAKing Liquid. Maybe IM will just hope Taeja gets tired? lol.


As I mentioned many pages back, I think YoDa is the most interesting player in this finals. We don't know a whole lot about his current form, but he swept Code A and Mvp hyped him as the best IM player. And with Mvp a master of preparation, I'm sure he could have trained YoDa to demolish Liquid / TaeJa. We just have to see. He might flop, he might play really well and still lose, or he might 5-4 Liquid in one-sided fashion. That's why it's so exciting IMHO. ^^

Double elimination tournament. Liquid lost one series and went down to the losers bracket while IM has not lost a single series yet. They are allowed to lose one in the finals.

I wish

Taeja nearly all kills in the second set, MVP crashes in on a battlecruiser and reverse all kills.


Sadly MVP is not here.

NesTea could teleport him if they wanted to.

Scary thing is that liquid also has a not-so-godlike but still formidable ace in Hero and hopefully some snipe in TLO and Sheth

I see "TSL4 Round of 16 Day 1 broadcast will begin after the conclusion of IPL Face Off" at the top ?? WTF??? even after the 2nd best of 9 ? I was hoping for a tourny with an ounce of production to save me from this misery

These breaks seriously need to get shorter. I'm a pretty big TL and IM fan but it's hard to wait for almost 30 minutes in between matches.

Awesome. Great job looking out for your team guys, this was a solid move.

Also, so much fucking whine in this thread.


And it doesn't get better with age, either.

Subjective. Some people perform worst coz there's less momentum.

I almost went, but starting at 9am and possibility of only 5 games? no way.

Liquid has gotten to the finals through the losers' bracket. It's the standard double-elimination format.

In a recent interview with Taeja, he actually admitted that he forgot how to lose.


Well if you forget how to lose and then you lose, you will soon begin to forget how to win. Look at Flash after his 15 win streak got stopped


Well I was joking (he never actually said that in case anybody thought so) but Taeja can't possibly forget how to win! (Jk not that crazy of a fanboy, but he's on fire)

Sadly, too young for BW. Although if that has something to do in the timeframe of the SC2 switch, you could probably attribute it to him practicing SC2 intensely.

In the past month, Taeja is now 54-15 in matches, for a 78.26% win rate. That's kind of high.
