please tell me you arent talking about TaeJa.

There are a lot of Taeja haters for some reasons.


Those who think that Taeja hasn't really won anything of consequence despite the great hype aren't haters. They are realists.

Winning Assembly 2012 over guys like MC, IdrA, and HerO, and winning MLG Summer Arena against Alicia, First, Ganzi, and LosirA aren't anything of consequence?

no doubt he is amazing but you couldnt get me to say he was ever better than mvp or seed during those times

Considering he beat both MVP and Seed I'm not sure where your logic comes from


How about Seed being the most recent GSL champion

How about Creator being the best player since he just won WCS KR


I'll take a GSL victory and top5 WCS+IPL TAC winner over Creator's WCS win

Taeja's been amazing for a long time. It's sad that people are trying to undermine his ability/accomplisments as a player when recently he's gone from amazing to practically unstoppable.
The 'best player in the world' assertions after a month of incredible play are, admittedly, pretty silly and I imagine where that's where most people's frustration comes from rather than Taeja's play itself.

It just gets old.

Yeah, the flavor of the month "best player in the world" is annoying.


Casters don't help, they always over hpying players. I know to a certai nextent it's their jobs- but they don't need to label every player.

Finally, a TaeJa game being streamed!


He hasn't been doing too good atm, so I tihnk thats why alot of his games wern't streamed earlier.


Nah its probably because EG payed MLG to stream a shit ton of useless Idra games instead of games that people would actually enjoy and like to watch >_>. Oh god damn it MLG you really have to put Taeja vs CranK on at the same time as WCS finals >_<


Lol, I was just contemplating this earlier. I wonder...


Believe it or not, Idra is what people want to see. They are catering to the mass audience.


Nope, that's what you want to believe.

During those times? Yes he was.

no real way to prove that

Mvp wasnt doing really well until his latest tournament win. Remember him at HSC?


yeah Mvp went into a slump after winning GSLs2 and just came back, Taeja was definitely playing better at the time. But that really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things.

He was in a slump all year until GSLs2 and then was in a slump after GSLs2 lol


It really doesn't matter, 99% of pros would kill to have the success Mvp has during his " slumps " the fact that he keeps coming back to win tournaments after people count him out is what is amazing.

I mean the guy has been winning GSL's since January 2011 and he's still winning premier tournament as of a week ago.


you are absolutely right. In the end it is about winning big tournaments and MVP has that edge over everyone. He just finds ways to get it done.

He's been much much better than Mvp.

mvp won gsl season 2 then the next tournament he went to he won, idk how u can say he is much much better than mvp

Oh, how he beat MVP in GSL? And it's not like Taeja hasn't won tournaments

So one series decides who's the better player? Come on. It's not the first time this happens. A player wins a couple of foreign torunaments and suddenly he's the best player in the world.


Um that's how you determine who is best at a given point. If Andy Murray is entering all these non Slam tournies and smashing Djoker and Fed and Nadal 6-2 6-3 6-2 constantly, winning most things, would he not be considered the best in the world? Is he not playing the best in the world? Point to a player that would be doing better than him, if you can't that person is the best player in the world at that given moment. That's how it works.

Starleagues determine legends, but they do not determine who is playing the best in the world at every given second.

I hated how the casters had to mention at IPL4 every time Marineking would play how he is the " BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD " after winning the winter arena and championship.

Reigning GSL champion =/= playing the best at this point in time


Unless you can show me every single practice game of every single player arguing who is actually playing the best is waste of time. What matters is results, and Seed has more of them.

There are only 3 true players who can say they were the best in the world.

MvP, MC and Nestea

That's it
It's all about brining home the most golds, the most consistantly in the biggest most luretive tounries.
