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


his army was huge, he could of devoted 5 marauders to base defence till he could actually secure pf with turrets

5 marauders? you realize he was warping in charge lots aswell? it eats up micro time when your main focus is big army engagements because both knew an uneven clash would immediately lead to a loss.

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.


Taeja was ahead the entire late game. If he had forced a direct engagement he would have roflstomped Seed.

Taeja threw it away by getting all his units trapped in Seed's base, not because "Protoss OP late game".


How is being on 1 mining base vs 2/3 being ahead? In what fucking universe ...


Taeja was constantly up 20-30 supply and had a bank lol

Sure, but I mean, his thought process would only go towards after he was losing in the first bo9 by like 3-1; maybe that's when he thought like that.

For him to enter with the idea of going to the second bo9... He's not fit to be a coach if he's just so lazy and doesn't prepare a sniper for Taeja for the past few days...

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.


Why is that dumb? Liquid has already lost a series, IM hadn't


Past series should have no relevance in the next upcoming series or the finals. In major sports, all that happens is you get 1 extra home court game or something that really doesn't make much of a difference, what if every sport had 2 grand finals because one team had a near undefeated run and the other didn't? it wouldnt be accepted.

Edit: I might be understanding it wrong.
