But he's not healthy 
And Life killed him 3-0 at GSL when Taeja was on his peak/

You could say anyone in GM is "good" but you could also say someone in masters is good.
i think the bar for "crushing" is a little higher than what Dayshi has achieved.

For example, his victory over hyun was in an online match that was a qualifier for a tournament with a 2000 euro first prize. Compared to something like a WCS match or a late round in Deamhack this was worth significantly less to Hyun and most people don't prepare/play as well. I'm not trying to say Dayshi is a terrible player, the thing is the original comment set him up as if he was one of the best players at this tournament. He has a decent run, but hes a pretty mediocre player overall.
or you are just underestimating him.
Hyun is a beast on online tournament, to beat him there is a fk-ing good enough achievement to be called good player

He played remarkable, going head to head with Violet in their games(Violet has really good TvZ), head to head with Lucifron who has absolutely sick TvT, and beating Mana this tournament.
As well as the aforementioned dominance in team leagues, he is far from a mediocore player and well on his way to becoming one of the top foreign players.

I kind of dislike how pervasive it has become to just cite aligulac as if it was the word of god. There are a fair amount of factors that can't really be taken into account by stats.

Aligulac actually favors life vs Innovation and with his run at dreamhack + his 4-0 of his RSL group Life has actually retaken the #1 overall ranking on their site

Not even close ^^ Just the dominant player of his time. Yet he got beaten by the next dominant guy, MKP, and never really had as high a level.
I think you meant to say MKP. But think about this. Before Taeja left Proleague because of his wrists he was first in wins over flash and innovation. When Innovation first showed how good he was in the last WoL GSL he NARROWLY beat Taeja to show it. Yet Taeja beat Soulkey to make the ro4 while Innovation lost ro8. Taeja is much better than people give him credit for. His wrists still slow him down but he seems to be getting better with them now.
