I should have just gone to bed instead of checking these results. -_- Creator is a lot better than Coca. Coca looked super sloppy against SaSe and only won because SaSe was playing even more sloppy.

And how did TaeJa lose wow... thought he was close to untouchable right now.

Rematch of Hack vs Creator! The Qualifier finals was pretty good. I approve of this ro8 <3

TSL curse holds! Everyone betting on Taeja to take the entire thing weeps...
...but that said, I was 0/4 today on predictions =P
|
I think I called it correctly when I said that Taeja is not good in preparation style tournaments and only good in marathon tournaments. This loss and the Ro8 loss to SK.MC proves it.

I don't get why the vods on twitch cost something but then you upload them to youtube for free? All this caused was for me to spoil the results for myself and thus me not watching them on youtube either, resulting in a net loss of a single viewer.
Then again it appears that none of the matchups were even worth watching apart from the last one which I saw anyway. I have no idea why Taeja felt the need to continuously allin instead of trying to play a normal macro game.

Did you really just say someone is bad because they only made it to the Round of 8 of the GSL?

So you mean like when he went 7-1 against LG-IM who basically just had to prepare for 1 guy to win IPL TAC3? While Taeja had to be prepared for like 9 guys? Losing to First and to MC is not about his prep but about the fact that they are both top end players who can beat just about anybody. Taeja can't win every series.

This loss and the Ro8 loss to SK.MC proves it. All of IM prepared for TaeJa. TaeJa probably only prepared for a few IM players. TaeJa murders IM, finally losing to Seed on his second try.

It's getting ridiculous now that people seem to put Taeja on the platform of godliness and invincibility. The guy is among the best players in the world but then again First probably is or has the ability to challenge the best players in the world. Nobody is invincible, isn't Taeja allowed to lose from time to time?

The community has high standards, a short memory and a soul crushing sense of entitlement.
Well, at least I did read his post history and he is consistently a flame bait negative nancy.

I really wasn't as aware of Firsts skill until these past few days. And here he is, being an anti Taeja specialist He's definitely excellent and well worth a spot in Code A. I wonder if this will be the start of a big run for him?
