He's looked ok. He wont be a title contender but he could probably get out of his group on a good day. His late game doesnt seem very good at times

Ahhh ok thanks. Hopefully that'll improve with the new training methods Hots opens up, that's always been a bit of a weakspot of his.

So I'm pretty confident with his Code S group this week, depending on how Soulkey plays I think. I have a feeling Taeja will come first, but it could be Soulkey if Taeja's wrists are a bit meh still.

I know what you mean. I always try to be as optimistic as possible when Nestea plays, but in the back of my head I couldn't really see him beating DRG, MKP or Life. So glad to see he's in good enough shape to destroy MKP, and hopefully he can make it out of his group. I'm desperate for Nestea's 4th title.


He should be fine. Probably the favorite even, unless Taeja is anywhere back to normal o.O;

Dear god I hope so. I'm literally taking off work to watch his group.
Long live the King of Wings

The finals is once again an Unofficial World Champion title defense match


Life is defending?

Yes (Wiki)Unofficial World Champion


Damn, it's been a while since we had a non-korean Unofficial World Champ

like in Broodwar, it might never happen anymore.


I think it will. There's just SO MANY crazy LAN tournaments in SC2: MLG, IEM, Dreamhack, IPL, etc, that there's way more opportunities for non-koreans to beat koreans. Sooner or later there'll be another. My money's on Scarlett being the next non-korean UWC.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

I'll believe it when I see it. He once said in GSL he would scout more in GSL after losing to all ins all the time. That never happend and sadly I don't think this will happen either because he's too stubborn.
Top 10 favourite pros: MKP, MVP, MC, Nestea, DRG, Jaedong, Flash, Life, Creator, Leenock

What can be so weird about Starcraft is that for a few months you can watch someone who seems unbeatable. I mean, there was a time when MKP was one of the greatest. Now he just feels like a punching bag.



A lot of Terran's TvZ went to the shitter after the queen buff.


MKP in an interview said that his TvZ winrate in practice dropped to 10%. He's never fully recovered.

When his TvZ was unbeatable he utilized a lot of early pressure and capitalized on his superior micro: combat shield timings, marine helion banshee pressure, 2 rax, etc. None of those builds are viable anymore.


honestly I was never impressed with his TvZ. Just feels like he's ridiculously greedy without the cerebral aspect of Flash, Bomber or MVP to get away with it consistently. Pretty good if he manages to get rolling though. It's why Symbol 3-0'd him last Iron Squid before the queen patch.


The terran players who are still good today, like Mvp and TaeJa, are all great thinkers, able to reinvent themselves, all having great decisionmaking.


MVP yes, but Taeja no. I've never been impressed with Taeja and he was only good for 2 months last summer. Life is 7-0 against taeja recently and hero is like 7-0 against him too. MKP's tvz is terribad these days, but taeja's isn't any better, but mkp's tvp is far superior than taeja who has always had bad tvp. MKP has always been the better player than taeja and still is today, it's just he loses all his tvz but still wins tvp and tvp pretty well.


It's those damn wrists. I'm a TaeJa fanboy, haha, but I just wanted a name apart from Mvp as someone who is an intelligent terran. Last year was not a good terran year though, except for the King himself, so not a lot to pick from.


Same here, I'm a big Taeja fanboy. I think he is one of the more intelligent players out there but his results just fell drastically all of a sudden and I really hope it is just because of his wrist problem. Wrist problems are hard to fix and takes a lot of time

They said it is not planned yet because they don't know when they'll be able to run it again.

Marine King crying, as much as i love Nestea i have a huge soft spot for MKP

I don't understand why the players that cry the most are so popular (Hero and MKP). Especially considering E-Sports has so few female viewers. hmmm


There are so many things that are wrong with what you said.
