He is the best at the moment. He is not the most accomplished, but in his current shape he is better than any other player.

Korean Terrans are destrying foreigner Terran hope for the buff.

Terran will always be overpowered in the hands of the best players, since the micro potential of the terran race is just so insane compared to the other 2. That's why the rest of us are screwed. Blizzard needs to add more micro potential to the other 2 races rather than all these terran nerfs :/ I'm sure DRG fx. would become insanely beastly if he got to truly micro his units like the terran pros can.

Looks like someone decided to make ghosts for the first time in a year.

No guys, T was never really underpowered for the koreans. However at a lower skill terran seems weak, which is why people cry. That's also why Z (and less so P) is doing so well in EU and US.


Yeah, we've known for a long time the korean terrans are just the best players in general. Players outside korea will just have to deal with the rest.

I'm really sad with MC's performance in that series.. so one dimensional. His biggest strenght is knowing so many builds perfectly he's unpredictable, which makes his finer elements of gameplay shine. But tonight he was none of that, always the same build, always the same, bad decisions. Sad

god damn, this plugging for Monster drinks by EG on the official stream is so retarded and I absolutely despise EG for it... Shouldn't be ok to to advertising this way, if they are forced to drink it by contract, fine, go ahead and do it, but stop making everyone watch you guys do it FFS!!!
If I assume right, InControl is even receiving payment for casting this event, so even more unprofessional behaviour there...

EG = symbolization of U.S capitalism and not even backing it up with results...

Without companies like Monster there would be no professional gaming and regardless I hope they get even more blatant about it, if possible, just so I can keep enjoying posts like these. I bet you get really angry during commercial breaks too, right?


The actual funny thing is that you can make huge investments and be supportive by actually organising a tournament like this one and then have your own ads everywhere, but showing cans on stream when they aren't on the actual sponsor's list is just... Just pointing out some ways to help eSports aside from being an advertising whore on stream...

Just imagine the amount of potential in both Taeja and Team Liquid if he actually had some decent practice partners.. The closest person he has is HerO and he walked over him like trash so the others aren't gonna be near viable.

Even when Taeja was on Slayers, he chose not to live in the Slayers house yet still got amazing results in the ESV weeklies.

I don't think you can apply the "team house + practice partners = skill" logic on every player, some players just "get" the game on a different level even without that environment. Stephano is another good example of this.

Best player in the world at the moment?

Shut up.

taeja is overhyped


You were saying?


It's actually true.


Well, we'll see how hyped you will be once you've all killed (or almost all killed) Prime, Startale and Slayers. And won MLG Arena and Assembly + made GSL Ro8 back to back. Then 4-0 Squirtle, 4-1 MC, 3-0 Genius. And all these other overhyped players.


Did you just call MC overhyped? He already proved his worth.

He responded to the guy calling Taeja overhyped, MC is as overhyped as Taeaj ie not overhyped.

Both players had an incredibly good tournament, kinda feel like MC was lacking something he had through the whole tournament during the final series

But in the end, taeja realised he played terran and it was only gonna end one way from there


Think of the matchups he's played lately...almost solely PvP and PvZ for the last like two months. That's why he looked so dominant versus every toss (besides Seed) and zerg (minus Stephano and Nerchio series).

MC played like a mid - master Protoss strategy wise in the whole bo7. I really don't understand the decisions he made there. Ofcourse he's not a bad player and his mechanics still were very good, but from his builds and strategy he didn't look like a champion at all.


Mid-master? That's laughable, but can't say I'm surprised as that is pretty expected from you


Ofcourse, could you please take a look into his decisions regarding strategy? Last game he scouts a very early starport and he can assume its a stim-timing after a gas-fe and also scouts double-reactors. He then decides to go very greedy for double forge which means he'll have no DPS at all against the bio force. Taeja could have won the match right when TLO called out that heromarine scouting everything. No way he would have defended the bio force.

As I said MC's mechanics were good as always even though on Metropolis he was playing kind of sloppy, yet the decisions through the series wasn't better than from a masters player. If you hate on me for pointing that out, I will just leave you as a MC fanboy. I like that boss as well, but this certainly was very argueable.

If you think that was "mid-masters" strategy wise, I don't know what to tell you. He certainly made a lot of strategic mistakes, but that laughable exaggeration just discredits any point you may actually have. I'm not a MC "fanboy" at all by the way and you will find it difficult to find anything supporting that assertion.

Naruto had a point. I mean, if you scout fast medivacs and know he has a fast stim from his opener and you see dual reactor which = alot of marines then you want AoE, but mc got double forge and immortals and a 3rd nexus which is just ridiculous.
