No there's another bo9 now. Taeja was playing from the loser's bracket.

Hopefully they can be a bit quicker about the way this second Bo9 is played.

coming from the loser bracket you need to win 2 bo9's and winning bracket needs only 1 bo9? isnt that incredibly unfair?

Well that's just double elimination. If it was single elim, obviously Liquid would not be playing and IM would already be the winner. It is still such an anti-climatic finals

No, every team can lose one time. That's why they came from the looser bracket. It would be unfair if it wasn't 2 bo9.

Nope its like a normal double elim tournament. WB finals winner vs LB finals winner. IM is still in winners bracket and TL losers bracket. IM loses they get "knocked into the losers bracket" series resets like they've never met now its losers bracket vs losers bracket in Bo9.

Better than doing that pointless thing called "extended series" that everyone absolutely hates.

I loved Taeja when he was just winning ICCUP map tourneys; happy to see him do well. He's been on a roll for like 2 months now which is pretty impressive considering the state of T in terms of results.

Funny thing is that the IM coach is notorious for bringing on the wrong players :D


Yup, As explained in my first sentence :D I dunno how you could be such a poor Coach with an extremely good pool of players to choose from. What's even more surprising is that they don't seem to have a Terran sniper either.


I think the IM coach is bored of winning all the time so he basically throws a dart at a bunch of pictures of IMplayers and sends em out.....

Seems strange that IM didnt bother to set up a special purpose snipe against TaeJa. Once they knock him down they would roll over Liquid.

Depends on how you feel about double elim.

IM didn't lose a series all tournament to the final, Taeja lost one and got a second chance.

There's many people who has dominated SC2 even more than Taeja.


Yeah wow he's fucking good at the moment. But he doesn't compare to those people

Who are those people? Because the dominate players I feel are kinda just MVP, Nestea and MKP, but don't really feel they were nearly as good as Taejas has been performing. I mean Taeja is kinda just making all his opponents look silly.

Mvp and NesTea were making their opponents look silly AND winning GSLs. Big difference.

Bro, Taeja just humiliated your #1 player by making him get out of the game by killing his economy. Yea u mad.

Taeja fans are becoming worse than bisu and stephano fans these days....

There will always be bandwagon fans that just jump from player to player as someone seems to be dominating. A month ago it was symbol. eventually it will be the next big guy. oh well. nothing you can do about it

I like how symbol's fanbase mysteriously disappeared after his loss to seed.

That was Yoda's first live foreign tourney match ever. Wait for round 2 now that he is warmed up.

My post stands.

(assuming Taeja wins all these matches ofcourse)


You cant really think before hand who will you send out. Some players are good against some others so you need to think before sending anyone. for example you dont want to send MMA to play against top protoss players (atleast few months ago. MMA has done a bit better in tvp nowadays)

E: ofc you can choose starting player like YoDa believing that he will get few wins


Yeah but this is assuming Taeja goes on another major roll. YoDa is extremely good, he's their Ace even, just he had a really bad game. Nestea and Seed are really well-rounded and I wouldn't field Losira because if he even wins he'll just get picked off by HerO
