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.


Have you witnessed Mvp's reign of terror?

I did, but that wasn't really the same imo. He was just very very good and won most his games. Taeja is just massacring his opponents.


July - December 2011 is Mvp's reign of terror, and It's unquestionably the most insane streak we've ever seen in sc2, and the longest lasting one.

July - MLG Anaheim 1st
August - GSL August 1st
October - GSL October 2nd
October - Blizzcon 1st
November - Arena of Legends Team Ace Invitational 1st
November - WCG Korea Nationals 1st
November - GSL November Semi-finals
November - MLG providence 4th ( from open bracket, lost to the winner Leenock )
December - WCG Grand Finals 1st
December - Blizzard Cup Semi-finals ( losing to the winner MMA )

Getting to the semi-finals of 4 GSL's in a row is pretty much unheard of.

yeah, MVP's run is still the best. He won bigger tournaments than what Taeja has so far and won more. Truly incredible run.

Not to take away from Taeja though. He is playing like a fucking baller. As a terran, i love seeing it. Absolutely incredible play.

Yeah but he hasn't won every tournament ever has he?
Until he can go back into the past and win every GSL there has been he's a loser.


So many tears coming from you right now.... Your just jelly hes single handledly destroying the team your cheering for. He's won 2 straight tournaments and is on a tear in this team league. Get a life buddy your calling someone way fucking better than you'll ever be so go back into your terrible troll cave. He's absolutely dominating people. Get over yourself .


Wow i should really stop the TOTALLY FUCKING OBVIOUS sarcasm on here.


Yeah because its sarcasm when your crying buddy your defense is pretty weak go outside and get some fresh air and a brain cause you obviously dont have one. Or go to korea and try to be as good a Taeja instead of being a dumbass buddy. Your a discrace to this community go get rid of your account and never come here again dont need anymore tards QQing about your team getting dominated cause they're playing like shit.

I'd open with First if I was IM, I think he would force Taeja to some out early, which is not what Liquid wants.

Sending out Seed again as opener and risking him losing to one of the Liquid zergs would be a tactical disaster I think

I'd send Happy.


Really? Happy's TvZ is 42.86% - Granted, he only plays Korea but Liquid can literally spam zergs at him untill he folds (very likely quite fast)

I'd go with First as well


Happy's TvZ is almost 70%?

Yeah MVP definitely had the longest reign of terror.
Plus,his competition was a lot tougher when he was owning faces left and right until his wrist went to smithereens T.T


Ummm... plus... GSL titles.

I don't know what you mean. -_-" Mvp did won everything and currently hold the longest TvT winning streak in GSL. Taeja hasn't even won GSL yet.


I'm Mvp's BIGGEST fan, but the way Taeja is absolutely destroying people right now...DRG, MMA, and Mvp's reigns of terror don't even compare.

Liquid Didn't care when they opened with Seed.

First is probably the best bet, anyone who is good vs Z and decent vs P but not too good to force Taeja would be the best opener.

IM should save their zergs in case taeja has to come in again. you don't want protoss vs taeja right now


And you want TvZ ?

To be honest, only protoss came to a place where they could hurt Taeja, and the only who could (yongwha), wasted it.

Was he then in this great momentum? No. Was TvP his worst matchup, YES.

SO get ur facts straight and stop bullshitting on TaeJa all the time.
