And WoL will end as it should with ZvZvZvZ perfectly displaying what was the main theme in last year of WoL. Complete and utter boredom, thank god for BW and DotA 2, at least something interesting to watch.

I saw his team league performances, they were amazing and entertaining etc but its just team league. I'm saying that Taeja's GSL results are good recently (i rate semi finals as good, shoot me) his slump is as overrated as the talk of best player in the world was immediately before it, and lastly i'm saying that i think he has a damn good shot of winning the GSL this time around and everyone is writing him off.

There is no such thing as "just team league" when you beat 7 top players in a row in an offline event before going down. I won't say he's bad now or that he was bad at any point over the last 6 months either, but he was much more convincing before he Life ate him in the semis.

Edit: Jungle Basin was almost a recent map in my mind :D Edit2: Forgot Blistering Sands as well. Well, Liquipedia had the answer for me all this time, you can see the original ladder maps here: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Maps#Battle.net_Ladder_Map_Pool I can't recall playing a single game on Incineration Zone, but I didn't play much beta

MC to save the world by advancing to semi's, don't doubt the president...

Ah missed the games, but happy Curious and Symbol won, though I sort of like all the players today it's nice for these two to at least get a semi final appearance in before WoL ends. Innovation and Parting have had their semi run already.
Will be surprised if it's a all zerg Ro4, but given Taeja's injuries and Roro probably existing on an anti-team somewhere it could definitely happen. I honestly feel Roro vs MC will be the decider for one half of the grand final.
Curious looking like he's the other half. Which is nice. The gatekeeper has come to claim his due.

I think even most zergs will agree that GomZvZ has surpass GomTvT.
I wonder if Blizzard is going to leave HoTS as is so that (in the words of Bomber) 'Zerg will become extinct'.

Then look at his recent results. Only wins are against no-name (no offense) Dana and Nomatch. He is 9-26 in his recent matches...
I 100% agree. I am not that big of a statistician so I wouldn't be able to say so. Which is why this (as all stats) should be taken with a grain of salt. I am just throwing it out there for people.

But the words of Tasteless and Artosis on jjakji still haunt me.

Well. he technically abused a BUG, the ultra splash was never intended to hit repairing scvs when pitting a CC/PF/thor... a bit different from 5 rax reaper

I think you're wrong. Go look at the race distributions.

Does anyone have the graph that GSL had in the ro16? The one with race distribution per month and the sharp rise in zergs after queen buff?
