Squirtle 4-2

Hello, I am a pro loser and I think Squirtle will win because he can just use bubbles and it will be super effective against a fire-type like Taeja.
ESV replay guy. I guess. Maybe.

Prediction:
IMO this match will really depend on if TaeJa can bring his best and not get flustered. Squirtle isn't MC, but he's a diverse player with powerful and unique timing attacks, and we can pretty much expect him to bring a variety of things to the table. However, an on-point TaeJa is really one of the scariest things out there, and if he can shut down an allin or two early on I expect him to do very well. Given TaeJa's performances online / in ESV in particular, I expect him to show his best.

Didn't you say that Hero would man handle Squirtle last season ezpz in GSL, and Hero got 3-0?
Squirtle's legit, that being said, I reckon Taeja 4-3, cause he's in amazing form right now.

A lot of people never give Squirtle the props he deserves, but he's a legit threat to TaeJa and any player out there.

Legit threat? Squirtle 3-0'd Taeja last time they met in Code S

Taeja is just overhyped, Wartortle is definitely the favored one here.

I think at this point to say either is overhyped is an overstatement. Both players are TOP TOP notch .

Given proper preparation, I think Squirtle would crush Taeja 4-1 or even 4-0 but how do you prepare on maps that don't have games to study? These tournaments really showcase a players ingenuity, which in the past has allowed TaeJa to consistently bring his A Game. Squirtle is good, but a confident TaeJa is next to unbeatable in any match up and there is no reason for Taeja to have any doubts.

TaeJa will take this, 4-2; losing only on Cloud Kingdom and Golden Valley.

After the stomping of possibly the best TvP'er in the world: Jjakji by Squirtle earlier this month. I think Squirtle has this 4-2.

Taeja met Squirtle in the TSL4 qualifier - Taeja 2-0'd Squirtle, both macro games ^^

Taeja, easy. I think the only games Squirtle will take off him will be 2 base collosus allins.
