And he lost terribly in both of his matches, sure everyone has bad days, but you're expected to perform a tiny bit better than 0-2 against players you should beat/have beaten in the past. Right on the hype, but keep in mind that back in 2011, Mvp fell to Code A right after a GSL championship (or so, iirc)... The gap is smaller from QFs to Code A... | ||

He goes to the studio, has to play his round of 32 group. He plays terribly, loses twice in a row, and falls to code A. Does that make him suddenly a bad player? A single bad day, and you can fall out of Code S. It can happen to anyone, and it doens't even have ot be something as drastic as being sick. You could be unlucky, you could have slept badly, anything. So it's not deserved to say TaeJa is a bad player all of a sudden. +1 Taeja wrote on his twitter that his wrist has been painful recently... And for me and many people out there, he is still one of the best terrans in the world  | ||

The true test of Taeja is to see how he bounces back, if he comes back to win a GSL next year then we can say all along the hype was deserved and he will go on to become one of the legends ( hopefully ) | ||

The one and only Terran that consistently delivered was Mvp. | ||

Nah, he'd have to win like 4 to justify the hype. | ||
