Amazing play by seed, very disappointing by the shitty observer, he missed SOOO much dt harass and storm drops. This is why taeja forced the engage by running into seeds main, his eco was fucked, down to 1 mining base for a loooooooong time. Still great play by taeja overall but WP SEED. IM TO WIN GOGO!


Yeah fersure thanks for mentioning this nobody seemed to notice that and rightfully so because the obs didn't view it when it was happening. The obs showed the aftermath of the harass a few times but that was about it.

Why does TL have to win 2 BO9's and IM only one BO9?


Loser's bracket

To elaborate slightly, it's because Liquid was the loser's bracket winner in a Double Elimination tournament, and IM hasn't lost a match yet, whereas, Liquid had, therefore, Liquid needed to win 1 Bo9 to reset it for the Grand Finals. Stupid format, imho.



Ummm... yes, that's a pretty dumb format.

Credit to Seed as well. You could argue the two best players in the world currently, just played each.

Spectating could have been so much better, was not enough focus on seeds harassment (which was probably, but i dont know since we didnt see it) did a lot of damage. BRING ADEBISI!

very cool to see DT used more by P. Seed showed a bit of how powerful they can be here...maybe we'll see them more in GSL!

Those ghosts, man.

Also Seed shows why he is GSL champion. Time for Hero.


I don't think Hero is going out, not with Hero being so weak PvP and Seed so strong in it.

I think TLO or haypro, as funny as that sounds.


You better send HerO in a bit weaker and coinflippy match up... but sending out TLO or HayprO against Code-S Champion seed with insane PvZ, you gotta be kidding us.

It would be a great stomp, and way to show how dependent TL is on their koreans.

Going up the ramp wasn't what lost him the game really, it was losing the Ghosts. If Taeja just stays up in the base, Seed loses all his production and tech for nothing.

Man thats a decision taeja normally doesn't make. must be really tired

But whatever, can't be mad at the guy he's a fucking monster and has done incredibly well.

Let's go hero, finish this off!

what was he to do?

seed kept expanding whilst denying taeja's via warp ins. taeja knew he couldn't keep re maxing so had to make something happen. the decision was okay but he thought he killed seeds obs (he scanned) so he left ghosts behind. lets them die. from then on, he tried to do damage then pick up and leave but mis controlled. the decision was fine, the execution was what messed it up for him

Only took the entire IM team to kill Taeja once. He won in my eyes. Now TL has to prove they aren't a one Taeja Pony.

Will a seed become anew, blossoming into ever growing heights and depths?

Or will a Hero be reborn

IM coach: I knew if Teaja played enough games he would get tired. My plans have worked.

more like eventually protoss will kill him at end game.

Yea, 'eventually'. It only took 5 tries!


Amazing how some people still try to slip in balance whine when Taeja's been completely dominating toss all day.

hahahaha maybe IM coach knew something we didn't. Just get Taeja to play tons of games to tire him out since they know he's the biggest threat, and then defeat him to crush liquid's morale.


That would probably have been the worst way to plan a series >_>.


You know how the North won the Civil War.
