Well you're the exception then. Religious people will give him credit (not only christians), and many atheists will acknowledge him for his ethics, philosophy etc.


It's humorous how you assume he existed.


Isn't that pretty widely recognized by historians? Oh well, back to Taeja crushing!

Running time will reach 9 hours soon.
Funny thing is - if TSL4 wasn't postponed it would need even more delays.

Their Zergs would always show up in the playoffs. Even if Flash was off his game, the Zergs came to life.


Wasn't there a period of Jaedong-oz?


Oh yes. I can't remember which PL finals it was, but it was the one with the super ace where Fantasy beat Jaedong twice to crush Oz into the ground. That team had NOTHING going for it besides Jaedong.

CJ vs oz, never forget.


I think I was thinking of this final?

http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/korean/leagues/157_Shinhan08-09_Proleague/main

i'm referring to when jaedong was one game from an all kill in the grand finals of the winners league, he 4pools skyhigh and it doesn't work should be fine anyway since after all the kid can only play TvT and nothing else what could go wrong? They proceeded to get reverse all killed.

Honestly, this is already esports history. Can you think of a singular more dominating performance in a team league?

in Korea i might add. at the top league of all. none of this ipl flim flam

honestly though Taeja is a beast at the moment it is pretty impressive, just hope for his sake he doesnt fall flat on his face in GSL.

How is your health lately?

I thought the reason I couldn’t exert any force on my wrist was because of the wrists themselves. However, I recently got in touch with GGPlay (T/N: the name MVP mentions has two results in TLPD, the other, Jjando, just looks very unlikely to be whom he is talking about). He told me that he had the exact same symptoms that I have. At the time, GGPlay retired and I continued. After GGPlay got out of the army, he had an examination which revealed that the problem wasn’t in the wrist but in the cervical disc. So, I am planning to get my cervical disks examined shortly.


EDIT: Haha beaten to the pinch!


Sorry bout that lol

I like seeing all-kills, but in order to decide on the best team they really need to implement the Proleague format, just one on one. That way no team will be carried hard. But again, sc2 teams don't have the depth like the BW scene has (or had, atleast up to 2010)

u mean like hwaseung oz?

edit: I'm late.


Jaedong-Hiya-Lomo-Backho was a respectable team. Kind of.

And before that when they won with Anytime.


Jaedong and HiyA definitely are respectable, Lomo was like barely A team caliber.


He did make it to semifinals one season of GOM Classic (or MSL, can't remember which).

I think those stats are wrong because he lost to Clide and MVP.

You're making yourself look dumb. Nobody actually debates whether he existed or not.

If Seed loses they have Happy and he could mayyyyybe pull something off. It's been too fucking long of a day for them to play Nestea again, I adore the professor but he goes full zergbong mode when he's tired

Taeja is undoubtly the best player on liquid atm (or just today / recently even) but saying this is taeja's win is wrong.

Have you not seen him speak to the TL players after every game? he immediately leaves his seat to speak to his team and take advice / criticism from them.

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.

Teamliquid are supporting him every step of the way, wether it be inspirational support, tactics / strategy advice / cannon foddering so he can have more time to recover, whatever. Its a team effort.

In all team games, you have a star player, but they cant win it alone (most of the time) - for example my FPS team has a fucking beast of a sniper, but he cant win it without the rusher calling locations, the team locking locations down, taking players out and allowing him to scout regular locations and take them out too. Alone, he would be located and fucked in the butthole, its much the same for taeja IMO.

lets address this.

He takes advice / criticism from them? It could be or it could just be congrates/generic messages about you can do it etc. that means just not much.Do I think taeja would have won had he played from game on of the 2nd BO9? So far he is showing pretty well that he could of. Hero is their 2nd best bet, but that is pretty much it with maybe zenio/ret who could take a game (which zenio did, but honestly would have rather seen taeja from the start).

Taeja is showing exhaustion when he is displaying great micro still doesn't make much sense when I havn't really seen much exhaustion from korean players like ever or really even just sc2 pros. They should be used to playing a ton of games. Taeja seemed to not even need to recover, and he should have even recovered during all the downtime. There is no way in hell you can compare a FPS to a RTS. I mean a competitive FPS is a team game while RTS is a single game, but this tournament just has a team aspect. How was the rest of the team not just cannon folder when taeja/hero/maybe zenio are only really taking games?

last thing: I hate everyone who is saying that team liquid is the best FOREIGN team. It would be like EG being the best FOREIGN team with only puma/jyp getting results..it just makes no sense for me.


why would you hate it?
that feeling and expression of saying something's the best is similar to when say...
you're out playing volleyball, or whichever sport you enjoy best (including starcraft) and you just happen to say, 'this game is the best'.
or if you're hanging by a thread over a cliff and a friend manages to catch you by the very edge of his grasp, pulling you to safety... once again you say, 'you're the best, man!' (in this case he is the best though, lol)

it's obvious and opinion bundled by a bunch of feelings/emotions
a lot of people would not argue that EG is the best FOREIGNNNN team because actually, team liquid is :DDDD

obvious and opinion? what..

I hate people saying TL is the best foreign team when only the koreans are putting up results. Thats its there is nothing more to it. If ret/haypro/nony/sheth were winning games for this finals or in the team league then it would be a team effect, but its really just ret/haypro/nony/sheth play then lose then taeja cleans everyone up.
