Did a player ever win two major tournaments in a row ? I think it could be the first time if TaeJa win it.


Tons of people have, especially if you count events like this as major.

Yeah, early game is his clear weakness I think - But lategame, I don't think any terrans are better than TaeJa in any matchup

Byun and taeja are equal in TvZ and TvT imo but taeja has much better TvP than byun in the late game.

before the seed derp, byun was undefeated vsP since his comeback in GOM events. partly due to his unconventional play, but Byun is an excellent vsP player.

Late game taeja is better but byun's early-mid TvP is fantastic with his funky builds and he's very smart with all ins.

On the back of what is his late game better?Byun has superb control and makes better decisions than his peers at any point, I don't think taeja's macro only can compensate for that, I doubt he can take Byun or Polt in a long game, they will simply constantly make better moves than him.
So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie

Darn, always happy when MC wins the first game, what with his 92%+ series winrate after winning the first game .__. that was only GSL iirc, but still, that's a scary statistic.

GOGO!

Close air, ruh roh.

i think a more telling statistic is how often you win when you lose the first set, quite interesting to see

Yeah I suppose, since he's already one step on the way and whatnot too ><

MC starsense. Dang. Apollo taking control of this cast

man, parting wins every single gsl after this ;D


He's gonna open one base storm. And win.


It's weird, the other day I was actually thinking about how PartinG's PvT opened up the domination of TaeJa - PartinG always went mass storm templar and then made this deadly techswitch into collosus and won the game.. TaeJa is really good at balancing ghost and viking production in TvP and really punishing this style that is still the way pretty much all P's play

Unbiased, if any of them had Bomber's micro, it would have been fun to see the domination.

everytime a ghost emps a clump of templars I shiver a bit inside


MC's Templar control was nearly perfect in that game.

Well, we did not watch the same game then.


Sure we did. I think it's just easy for Protoss and Terran players to look at the other side of a micro battle as easy. I do it too sometimes. I have to catch myself from looking at kiting with bio as an automatic skill comparable to staring at the screen and taping a couple of buttons.

That said, I'm pretty sure the most HTs Taeja ever hit with one EMP was 2 or 3. And that was only once.

I don't know if I'd classify this as a major. The player quality has been good, especially this final, but it still doesn't feel like a major, perhaps its the lack of crowds or the funny but not serious hosts.
