Salvage lost Taeja that game. alot more than salvage lost taeja that game If he'd have had his bunkers still his units would have survived long enough for all his upgrades to come into play. It was crazy timing by First but the bunkers would have helped for just long enough I think and he would have had his vikings for the collosus too.
It would have helped him, and possibly let him hold. But I can give what I think all added up if it helps.
Salvage was a bad choice.
Raven was a bad choice.
Siege wasn't going to finish in time.
Some off scouting/reacting by taeja
The buid order taeja did is one that the 2 base colo alllin is meant to punish/beat. He would have lost those 25 scv's at his natural regardless if he held. Which would have let First win after a macroing up for a bit
edit: if you noticed, first actually targeted the stacked scv's when they were pulled before switching back to the units, he was playing safe, so that if the push was held, he had double the economy after to fall back on

As soon as i saw the bunker salvaging all i could think was "there is no reason to salvage right now" - there are very limited circumstances (if any) where that extra 75 minerals is so vitally important that you need to sacrifice your defense, particularly at that stage of the game 
Poor Taeja

Most Terrans pros are particularly reckless with Bunker salvaging.

More like English fail period. Both those "sentences" are terribly put together.

He has been winning everything but here he decided to use some bad builds and I saw no reason for their use. Thats all.

Can we please turn IM protss vs Taeja into a friendly rivalry thing?
I mean so far in the past few months we have Seed going 2-0 against him in gsl, then First losing to him 0-2 at mlg, then however you wanna score it from IPL and now First beating him 3-2 in TSL4. ( may have missed some other interactions will have to research)
We could use more amusing rivalries and aside from the odd all in they make TvP fun ^-^.

One salvage = loss game I loved was kiwikaki vs demuslim a long time ago, kiwi was going for a funky chargelot timing with upgrades which arrived the second demuslim salvaged his bunkers needless to say demuslim got murdered.

Yeah... it's kind of hard to comprehend something that's incredibly difficult to comprehend due to poor composition... even after the explanation it doesn't make much sense to me, and this is coming from someone who people come to for editing and proofreading their writing.

How did Coca lose by that much to that guy, what the hell, and Taeja wtf. They were like the only two guys that would actually make for a decent semifinal on that side of the bracket. =/
I should have just gone to bed instead of checking these results. -_-

Oh, I see. Yeah I agree, those raven builds were really questionable. Even in the Metropolis game, I think First could have taken it with better control during that first engagement.

That was super painful, the biggest anti timing I've ever seen yeah.

Sorry about the tech problems. We had a capture card fail before we started, then xsplit refused to pick up our inputs. Then our Internet connection died mid-way through the TaeJa / First series . Unfortunate set of circumstances that we couldn't really control. Hopefully things will run a lot smoother tomorrow.

No problem, tech issues are sadly inevitable in any tournament, it was only a few minutes of downtime so I'm just thankful that you got it back up and running so soon.

Was that the game that keeps being referenced to in the IPLs biggest fails/anti timing videos? That was horrible.
