I really think that in this sort of format it's not always best to save the best for last. Too much pressure on that player and momentum is a really important factor. You want to stop your opponent's momentum asap.


That is only true if all your other teammates lose their games. having the best for last when he only has to win 1 or 2 games puts you in a good position especially if that player is Taeja.

Without Teaja on TL this wouldn't even have been close, would have just been 5-0 for LG-IM

they wouldn't be in the final for sure. But zenio already won so this statement seems really weird.

I think at one point most every team had one of those ... SlayerS, MVP, and ST come to mind as those with super-strong aces in the past.

Slayers and MMA, MVP had DRG but who was the ST one? Bomber? Parting? Squirtle?

I hate Taeja. How long until teams realize that you just need to cheese him?


That was a cheese... 7 gate collissi all in. He lost b.c his upgrades were super behind after that and he had worse economy.



A 2 base all in isn't cheese. They need to Actually cheese him or 1 base all in him. Void Ray all in, Immortal bust, 4 gate, Cannon rush, something.

HerO's PvP lately is kind of 50/50 imo. Sometimes he'll pull some sick stuff off and win or somehow get outplayed. HerO might end up being the ace if Taeja loses.

They keep trying to allin him and he counters them perfectly each time. Yongwha fucked up though, if he'd attacked when Taeja salvaged the bunkers he would have probably killed him, but he'd have at least denied the natural until there were more vikings out.

Bomber was really, really successful in his heyday, probably only second to DRG in terms of GSTL success when they were both playing strong.

ST it probably would be either PartinG or Squirtle. Considering how unpredictable Bomber's play has been the last little while.

Man, even if Taeja doesn't win another game and Liquid loses, this guy is the MVP of IPL TAC.

The biggest problem I'm seeing is confidence.

These guys hesitate way too much when it comes to the engagements. Against any other TL member, they engage fine and full of confidence.

Against TaeJa, everyone is timid and loses confidence in themselves.

TaeJa is just beasting his way through here with intimidation

Just a query, do these kind of teamleague games go into a player's TLPD entry? Taeja's ELO will be looking quite healthy if that is indeed the case
