If Targa wasen't affected by Incontrols EG curse, he clearly would have won that game.

His problem is being so greedy so when he plays against a player with good harassment skills, he loses.

After his first hugely successful attack he should have stopped and expanded again, then teched to hive or something. He pushed too hard after that an overextended.


If it wasn't for that perfectly landed tank hit, killing 80% of the banes, Targa could have done some serious damage.

Agreed. But Taeja played really well. And now Apollo saying that Targa can't play Taeja straight up, just like he had to play differently to win over HerO.

Still, Targa isn't just rolling over.

It was really one sided, taeja had was never in real danger there.


Bronze players shouldn't be analyzing games. TaeJa nearly lost on that 200 food zerg max push. If the map was smaller and the rallies could have gotten there faster then that could have been Targa's game.

For a split second he could wreck Taeja, but he funelled his 100 supply into a small blocked choke.

Yet you feel like you need to tell everyone how uninterested you are despite not watching any games today.


An opinion is worthless unless it is shared with thousands of people that really don't care about it, apparently.

Wait, I think I just figured out how a lot of people got famous...

Yeah he did a lot better than I thought. However Taeja's TvZ is something else.

his 1st atack went good but the 2nd was awful, after that he was behind and agaisnt Taeja thats a 95% gg

His failure to split banelings made that attack so much worse than it could have been, had he had those banelings that attack could have worked better.

Yeah, he lost like 20 banelings in one round of tanks shot. That was a big blunder.

His first attack was not successful at all. It merely reset the armies but he wasted so much gas in it that he could not transition into infestors. By the time the second wave arrived Taeja had already set up his infrastructure.

should have nydus wormed both islands and used the time gained from the army trade to saturate and secure them with sporecrawler rings!

Major props to Targa, although he's hitting a brick wall now, his performance was brilliant so far.

Taeja is going to win this event, obviously, but well played Targa!

Lots of terran actually do this these days.
Going even in macro against zerg isn't really good.

Yes, I've seen few losses when Z is very aggressive early on and he accepts the attack with... well... a couple of marines. But if he gets away with it, omg, it's beautiful.

This. Although I sometimes try (Silver, not bronze) I'm not going to say something unless it's really bloody obvious.

I've noticed that Appollo and Kevin both have 'turned it up a notch' as far as figurative speech, very basic play by play and so on after they announced that Swedish Television was joining in

Understandable imo
The first link of chain forged, the first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably.
