I know I might be acting entitled, and I rarely do such, but this was just a joke.
That's why I muted the IPL stream, and just listened to DeMusliM, Incontrol, Idra, and 2GD casually bash everything.

Another thing I found strange was that IM protoss used the same styles and build vs taeja over and over until Seed decided to change it up and whadya know he won that game.

first bo9 is designed for teaja, the first player of IM is seed which can be only handled by taeja.
Then exhaust plan worked perfectly

liquid truly is a 1 man team nowadays, maybe hero can be considered a good player at all, but once he and taeja falls its lights out for liquid

So many complaints about this on reddit. ...... Watch WCS aus instead with tastosis. great production

Feel Good for Taeja
But Feel Bad for HerO too..The Guy used to be Great at PVZ and PVP and Excellent at PVT
now he has no idea how to play a PVZ and PVP and his only stable matchup is PVT but IM sent out no Terrans in the Second Round...Smart Strategy to completely negate hero of having any chance to win

when compared to korean teams yea i would agree but vs other foreign teams players like ret and sheth are better then most. tajea has become a top 5 player in the world which is something no foreign team has had yet. the closes thing you could compare it to is stephano on millenium. but tajea is a better player on a better team so it stands out even more. but u got to give credit to liquid for picking him up at the right time unlike EG who tends to pick up players after they blow up liquid tends to be ahead of the curve in there picks ups of both hero and tajea

They were all on DeMusliM's stream, casting/ analyzing the games as they were being played.

They win with the same scenario in IPL TAC 1.
If Taeja falls,TL falls.
With 2 Bo9s, IM was having a high chance to win.

The quality of the production was very bad. The casters are seemingly falling asleep during the day, as if it was a ro64 or something. Also the game picture is very dark, I love the way NASL does - very bright and clear picture!
The games very interesting but the casting made me dislike the games.

Ret may be the most overrated player ever, why do liquid even bother sending him out in this finals?
TaeJa such a beast, GJ anyways liquid

Foreign hope indeed.

rest of TL needs to pull their weight outside of practice, it's getting silly and predictable.

Taeja has been dominating but not for longer than 1-2 Months. We often see a short period of dominance from a single player.

It seems, to me at least that, for a player to be seen to exert such dominance, they have to play a lot of tournaments, then after a while they just don't get to do the focused practice and slump a bit, or their traveling schedule starts to take a toll. The last two players that showed such strength for me were MKP and DRG a few months ago, but they went to several MLGs and other foreign tournaments and then showed a subsequent dropoff in results. Hopefully Taeja can get back to Korea, get practicing for a good GSL run and keep up this current level.
It's a really difficult balance it seems between keeping up your optimal practice routine and level, and actually getting to use your skillset to earn some cash on your travels. Polt is one player who saw this, stopped streaming, stopped going to foreign tournaments (after quite a bit of success there too) and is now reaping the results.
Hopefully in the future there'll be a few more Korean-based tournaments so the top Korean talent can just focus on showing their best games instead of having to choose between sacrificing potential GSL results for the cash in foreign-based tournaments.

funny to see all the people criticizing liquid when taeja would've carried on any foreign team he played for.

Absolutely terrible production quality. Consistent technical fuck ups throughout, constant buzzing noise in the audio which was annoying as hell for headphone users, terrible casters (seriously, do they actually know anything about this game to stop talking incessantly?) absolutely ridiculous commercial breaks that went on for half an hour +, and to top it all off, right at the end of the last match, the stream fucked up again, and then there was a pre-emptive "WINNER" screen before Hero gg'd. Real bad fucking manners there, at least wait for him to gg. This is something you'd expect from kids on b.net.
I implore everyone who subscribed to unsubscribe immediately if you haven't already, and email whoever was in charge (I'm not sure who, but there must be someone) with a formal complaint.
The production team should get fired, I am absolutely disgusted by IPL, and they've managed to push back TSL to tomorrow because the goddamn tournament went on for over 9 hours because of the fuck ups and breaks. No wonder Taeja was exhausted, this was ridiculous.
Why are korean hosted tournaments always so good? They just get on with the games. By the 8 hour mark, I had seen only 9 games this IPL. Unbelievable.
