Look at my history and you will see that I followed BW right up to the end of its televised life. I'm not a roro fan but I'd pick him over taeja simply because he's more familiar. That said, the problem lies with zerg and not the player. IDGAF who the zerg player is. ZvZ is horrible. PvP is slightly less horrible. At least TvT has some promise of being epic. I doubt that anyone thinks that taeja was the better player tonight. But the statistics speak for themselves. What else would happen when you allow a race to power drones to 60 on 3 bases for free, or force his opponent to all-in to try and stop that? It's a combination of the queen buff and map changes. It stinks. | ||

It stinks. I think the fact that Zerg wins against Terran if Terran doesn't bother to harass and tries to outmacro zerg is established since WoL beta. It just doesn't work unless the zerg player is way inferior. I know MVP likes to start with 3 base but then he does 3 simultaneous drops, while microing the main push and expands to 4th and 5th behind it. At least he did that before his wrists started giving him troubles. If you can't pull off such APM, don't deliberately go straight into the late game vs zerg... | ||

GSL october 2011, 20 terrans... Thats great, yet somehow Zerg will end with more GSL titles. So Terran had more players participating in CODE S but i dont think the had better winrates than Zerg in last 3 GSL. | ||

I was around when he did this, but any other players did the same(life, Hyun, jjakji at some point etc). All i'm saying is that he should't have put Taeja with the big dogs like DRG, Nestea, MKP, MVP, MC, Rain, Life, Parting... because they are on a whole differnet league. | ||

There is no Terran at the Show and they all agree that Zerg was ridiculous at the end of WoL. Thats why i give Zerg players these days way less credit. DRG, Nestea and even Life earned it. But these guys.. nope. But Roro didn't even use the "imba" Brood lord-infestor composition. Yeah, he did it in one game, but he lost that one. The rest were strategies from before the "rise of the patchzergs". | ||

Apparently RorO's style of play doesnt match up the best vs MarineKing seeing as MKP is the only terran to beat him this season. MKP was also played Symbol close as well as beating both Sniper and HyuN in Season 5. For as much shit as he's gotten for his TvZ, he's done fairly well vs the last 4 Code S finalists in their respective seasons. | ||

But yeah, on the Zerg imba discussion, you can hardly deny that it is true. GSL has turned into mono Zerg territory, most other recent tourneys were dominated by Zerg, top 6 Koreans by ELO are Zerg. I guess HotS on the way means that the overdue balance patch won't be done anymore which feels lazy and ignorant by those responsible for balance. | ||

Not that I say Taeja played awesome this day. esp. the last games he gave in way too easy. But the first two he showed why he came this far. | ||
