Watched the rebroadcast and been reading through Nazgul's answers. Taeja's micro was off the charts. His bio splits against banelings and storms just astounded me. The multi-pronged harass against Coca and Min was mind-boggling. And then he did the same thing to Puzzle even as he decided to eat zealots and storms at his third. After his third got harassed for the fourth time I was thinking that he was probably done for, but it all appeared as a calculated decision. After the armies clashed he simply looked like a brilliant tactician.

Zenio, Hero, Ret, and Sheth are really capable of winning on "any given Sunday" against just about anyone. That doesn't mean it's likely against IM's roster, but (as a fan[boy]) I think it really could be an explosive finals, and not just the Taeja show or a stomp by IM.

Think there's an Our Lady Peace song "One Man Army", seems appropriate.

Haha, in all seriousness tho Liquid's not THAT bad, there's been at least one kill by somebody other than Taeja in all but one of the matches.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

The Aces Face Off is going to be tricky. It's played before the finals, which makes the player choice interesting because of the stamina required to play so many matches. I'm not a fan of the concept to have aces face off before one of the biggest team league finals.


I hadn't even considered how shitty it is to have players like TaeJa/HerO/Nestea/Mvp/etc. play a Bo9 right before the event, especially given that there's a chance of the team league being two Bo9's by themselves.

It's a good idea IPL but seriously, at least do it the day before online or hold it as a separate morning/early afternoon event for VIP ticket holders or something.

Not really. Taeja didn't score as many wins as that picture indicates. Let's not forget that so-called "Team Taeja" would have lost to MVP a couple of rounds ago and been eliminated then and there.

TaeJa < Cloud Kingdom > Sniper
Zenio < Tal'Darim Altar > Sniper
Ret < Ohana > Sniper

HerO < Atlantis Spaceship > Keen

The team is obviously carried by the most in-shape player, I get it. We get it. Everyone gets it. Even Sundance gets it.

There's no need to be a dick about it and exaggerate it to the point of purposefully ignoring the (crucial) contributions of other players, unless one's goal is to actually be a dick in the first place - which I would assume is the case with more than a few of these posts.

@Nazgul, Hey Nazgul, do you see liquid picking up any other players to bolster your other races lineups? Currently you have Tyler and Hero as your only Toss, and Jinro and Taeja as your only Terrans. And with Jinro and Tyler both not playing as well as fans would like your non-Zerg roster looks thin in terms of numbers. If you picked up another player would they have to be a NON zerg?

And a related question would be if you picked up a player would it be someone you're looking at like a Hero or Taeja type, a younger player that just hasn't gotten the chance to be the best he can be, or is on their way to be great? Or would you consider an already established skilled free agent, like a Violet, or Morrow? Or even a player that has been relevant in the past but has kind of fallen off, like an Inca or Top?

Thanks! Keep up the amazing work!

I don't like to limit myself too much with all these factors, but I can say that picking up a Zerg at a level of our other Zergs does not make much sense at this point. Besides that, we're pretty open. I'm not desperate to add another player and I don't think doing so leads to the best pickups. If something comes along we will consider it.

Also do you think there is a stigma against foreigners in that people (And TL writers) always assume they will lose without actually looking at which team/player is stronger?

Can you expand a bit on the question not sure what you're looking for from me.

Sorry.

Maybe a better question is, how do you think people view Koreans on Foreign teams? When DRG was all-killing every team imaginable in the GSTL he was the scariest player on the planet. I remember when Nony heard he was coming to MLG his reaction on SotG was "No, anyone but him!" (I'm paraphrasing). However, when Taeja does the same thing in a smaller league, and has been winning literally everything besides that, there isn't that same fear surrounding him. What I'm asking is do you think Taeja would be getting more respect if he was still on SlayerS?

I'm really not sure. I feel like being on a non-Korean team definitely has a lot of benefits, but I'm not sure if fear is one of them.

Not too much to ask at all. The past period has been very busy filled with work that had priority. I don't know when the bio will be done, but I'll make sure to harass WaxAngel again.


fuck, someone asked

Incredible Miracle really have got to prepare IM.Happy for sniping Taeja in TvT - I doubt either Nestea or Seed can stop him in ZvT and PvZ respectively, and that's saying _alot_! - 2 GSL champions for flash sake.

The game against CoCa especially was a monument of how good Taeja is.. Everyone knows how scary CoCa is online, but Taeja just made his units look dumb and predictable, while stretching his zerg armies thin all over the map.

What an absolute monster! People in Taejas ASUS RoG group must be shaking in their pants for their matches tomorrow

Come say hi in the Taeja fanclub!
