Anyone?

If I recall correctly it was speculated (or confirmed?) to be cervical kyphosis, a syndrome in which your neck curve is reversed, causing pressure on nerves and loss of grip strength subsequently.

Do you think taeja would have won had he played from game one of the 2nd b09? sure, TL were just "cannon fodder" in your eyes but zenio took a game which everyone bet against, Hero hasnt even played, who is probably their 2nd best bet at winning this thing. They put themselves in the line of fire so taeja could get the much needed rest so he could come out and wreck faces again, his exhaustion is showing with the younghwa game. (epic micro btfw WAOW) how do you think he will fair now? theres a reason he was sent out 4th this time with Hero as backup.

also known as, cannon fodder.

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 ...

In his current form I'd say he most certainly is either the best or one of the top 2-3 players in the world.


People mix up "best player in the moment" with "most accomprished player". And we can do nothing to change that.

They probably didn't.

Considering it is almost unheard of in SC2 other than Nestea and MVP at certain points in time have done similar.

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.


Younghwa still played well, people are knocking him way too much. Ret fucking choked massively. Younghwa just didn't make the most perfectly optimal decisions. There's a huge difference.

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.


Reminds me of MKP, and DRG after that. Hope Taeja can last longer than most 'best in the world' players.

I'll give him one more month before someone else replaces him, I've got my money on IMfirst.

He wins TSL 4 in my Bracket (First). Maybe a little bit to soon but I have the same feeling.

MKP, MVP, DRG and the other players mentioned have not had the results lately. Taeja is the best player in the world right now. It's a matter of accepting it.

Yea, but Flash, Action, Crazy-hydra, Hoejja and Stats aren't as good as any Liquid players so I don't know why you would compare those two teams. If they were to play right now, even with Pro League format, KT would lose to TL.


And KTF would rape TL in BW, are you mental comparing them when they played so little SC2 ?

Is anyone still saying Taeja isn't the best player in the world?


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.


Yeah, that's the obvious conclusion from everything that has been quoted/stated. Fionn is stating that DRG is slumping like hell lately and has been playing like shit, citing his notable losses.


I still don't believe that a authentic slump in ZvP carries on to his ZvT. So much more of ZvP is about reaction and reacting to your opponets builds, while ZvT you can force yourself into what you want.

I think DRG could take down Taejaa, regardless of his zvp results.

They probably didn't.

It's kind of irrelevant anyway. It's impressive in SC2 to be showing such form for me because the game is so volatile and the dominant players are less dominant than the BW ones of old. There are more upsets in general in SC2 given the strength and variability of a ton of 1/2 base all-ins for example.
