That or they are using the first Bo9 to figure out his playstyles. But honestly the player choices and playstyles from IM made no sense at all against someone as good as Taeja.
I think Taeja could be on a treadmill while playing and he'd probably still all-kill again.

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  The next set might be more exciting

IM didn't drop a series, TL got a second chance. This is IM's second chance.
So, no, it's fair. Double elimination is about as fair as anything can possibly be. And bo9 adds even more to that.

Not a fan of the black screen during the game though.

Why can't they do interviews with some of the IM/TL players? Can't think of anything worse than a black screen

He hasn't been played.
Remember, liquid has Taeja, but also Hero, Ret, TLO, and Zenio.
They can take a couple wins for themselves.

IM needs to get more creative.
Seriously--proxy robo, proxy 2gate, proxy rax, 6pool--can Taeja really defend all of them without making a mistake?
Hell, do something like a proxy stargate on Antiga! (HongUn and Genius might've done this to death though.)

This guy is so scary right now. No one has dominated this HARD in SC2. He's the Michael Jordan, Jimi Hendrix, Pele of SC2. Christ. 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.
I wouldn't say that he makes everyone look silly. Taeja has been playing really well i think he has been doing better than MKP or Nestea ever did. And also he is attending so man more tournaments than Mvp did. But yeah he is doing great but i think if seed had attacked in game 2 Taeja might have lost that and there would not have been all kill. Not even a kill for Taeja. Also first game against Nestea was not looking dominant for TaeJa more like lead was on Nestea side.
But yeah you can't argue about him being best player in the world right now winning MLG, ROG, placing high on GSL for 2 seasons now and doing amazing job in IPL TAC 3

Yoda will be the first royal roader. 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.... No, that's too much. TaeJa is the new Stephano. I like him. But in Team Leagues I really hate allkill format. It just develops these clusterfucks and the pressure must be insane, so the Proleague format is superior. They had winner's league in proleague too...
Yes, but the new format is superior. Acematch balances it out fairly well, cause your best player can be momentum starting or finishing. Depth is a major factor. It's a team effort.

he hasn't been particularly remarkable in a fairly long time.
i would even venture to say that Ret might be better than him right now.

tnx for the responses so its just a bo9 now starting with 0-0 to conclude?
