what if you were the zenex coach?

Not to mention, Taeja didn't even practice in the SlayerS teamhouse. They barely knew he existed, tbh. Even when Taeja won that game that launched Boxer into Code S, Boxer had said something about being surprised Taeja was so good. SlayerS treated him pretty badly (aka sort of ignored him) in relation to his skill level.

taeja probably still had more income than yonghwa in the end. i mean yonghwa had like 40 probes mining off of one base and taeja had 4 command centers(=4 mules) and ~10 scvs mining.
while protoss needs gas for good units, terran can still build a ton of marines and with good micro they are much more worth than gateway units.

TaeJa is a Raid Boss.
Needs a entire team to bring him down, and if you're not fast enough, he enters on Enrage Time and wipes everything.
A handful of probes.

OMFGGGGGG Taeja is a fucking beast! I thought he lost when yonghwa secured the middle with big templar/archon/zealot/stalker/colossus deathball.. I got so much energy(edit: oh I was working out, did so much more pushups until failure ^^) when Taeja pulled it off whooo freakin' so good. Took a quick shower to watch this badass at it again... FULL SCREEEEEN!
Mmm, what to watch.

Well thats the IM coach in a nutshell....nobody understands him


His best match up ? He rolftstomped both zergs and terran, and only struggled against exactly the guy he faced now, both times. Protoss are the only ones who are giving him problems so far from IM.

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


At the moment however, DRG has been performing awful. I think he's lost his last 5 important matches in a row?


Lost to Hero at IPL Car Show.
Lost to MC in GSL Semifinals.
Lost to Leenock in GSTL Semifinals.
Lost to Polt in WCG Group Finals.
Lost to Creator in WCS Korea WR1.


Because Taeja is better than Polt and Polt beat DRG, Taeja would beat DRG.

ME


winning a bunch of bo1's does not make you better than 100% of all players.


Look at the players he's beat.. Look at how convincingly he beat most of them..

The close games are few and far between, he's on another level.

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.

hes just saying they tickle late game. should chill out man

This.

tell me that when he wins back to back gsl

No. There's no question about who's the best player in the world atm.


i'm questioning this? How does winning in teamleague == best player?

That means losira is the second best player in the world..see where the logic falters?

Yeah cuz he's only won team league games...I mean...He definitely didn't win MLG summer arena and ASUS ROG.
He's basically won everything the last month.
