This....isn't the Squirtle that brought us the best GSL finals in GSL 2012 Season 2. It just doesn't feel right.

Don't think it mattered - the army power was pretty close and Taeja still had his barracks and mules on his CC. Squirtle would have had to guard his Nexus, and by the time it would be up, Taeja would be pumping tons more marines and marauders.

Base exchange vs Terran is not a great move, typically.

At the very least, the game would have been much cooler than what we got. T_T

Where is Squirtle's head in these games? I wonder if he has too many commitments or something.

Yeah, his usual focus and precision seems to be missing. Not to take anything away from Taeja though.

He got frightened of Taeja so his head is in his shell.

Yeah, good point. Squirtle wouldn't have been able to move away from his buildings when Taeja has that many medivacs and Taeja had more infrastructure left. Even if Taeja couldn't win the fight straight up it would have been a fairly close match if Squirtle rebuilt his base.

Also, was that HuK in the background?

That opening by Taeja is pure sex.

omg i missed it..
What was the build? :O
CC-first, but build it at your third and pretend you are proxy-raxing, even send scv to behave like preparing for bunker rushing. Then, just build bunker at your natural and float the CC there. In this particular case, it was especially funny, because you could see how Squirtle was freaking out and searching for the hidden raxes around the map etc. Good fun. The end result was, the protoss was scared for a while, so he ended up expanding significantly later than the terran.
