I really don't understand IM's strategy here. Putting 3 Protoss in a row against Taeja (which seems to be his best matchup imo) makes absolutely no sense. Is Happy there? Why not put him through at least one TvT?

Let's be honest here, Taeja had the game in the bag after he sniped the third (while running a drop in the main). If he had retreated into a proper position (or gotten his emps off when he had to fight) he could have won it there.

So yes Yonghwa was in a better position for a short period, but Taeja had played a pretty good game before that as well.

Imho Yonghwas main fault was not rebuilding his robo after he lost it. If he had built a few more Colossi (as in one more or two more) Taeja could not have microed his way out of the hole he was in. Storms simply don't seem to hit him

If Yonghwa waited for at least 2 colossi before attacking the third he could have realistically taken the game.

I've actually got to "get up" to go pick my girlfriend up from London, a 3hr drive from me in an hour and a half (3:30am local)

I just cannot stop watching this series now

She's going to have to deal with me sleep deprived and raving about how good Taeja is

Liquid is a 2 man team when fighting real competition. Luckily Taeja delivers like virgin Mary.

This Liquid team so strongly resembles my KT team in so many ways
An ultimate weapon:
Flash vs Taeja

KT Zergs (Action, Crazy-hydra, Hoejja) vs LIquid Zerg (Zenio, Sheth, Ret)
the 2nd in command toss:
Stats vs Hero

he won cuz stalkers are a joke unit

what needs to be changed about them?

they are extremely strong in the early game, are the centerpiece of a plethora of timings, and can blink snipe high value units and buildings. MC won 2 GSLs with them.

they don't deal damage

let me get this straight.

you want a tier 1 unit that is faster than a rocketship, has half its life regen, to be great at head on engagements when outnumbered by much slower units using a temporary special ability (stim) that can't blink or shoot air and are meant to counter the stalker.

OK best player in the world is debatable, but he has raised the skill level of Starcraft 2 to a level not yet seen

YongHwa needs to be on suicide watch after those games. Two games where he had a decisive army lead knocking on Taeja's door and he let it slip away.


He is Ret IM version.

I think DongRaeGu can challenge him.

Has the best macro on the planet with the play of a champion. I think DRG is the only one who could challenge Taeja.

Edit: Note I'm not sure who would win


dude DRG is in a big slump and playing shitty right now. he would lose 4:0 to Mr. Taeja

Taeja best player in the world? lol ... and more lol ... hardly close MKP, DRG and others.
He is using a mix of MKP(greed) and MMA(drops) style/builds ...
