Taeja schooled Rain in the ro8, but i gotta say, Rain is starting to look more and more like the creatorprime of HoTS. made famous by his PvT, but suddenly he is looking more and more like he is a one-trick pony; an inflexible and stubborn style that players like Taeja will take advantage of with things like CC > 2 rax > CC builds.

Wonder how First is vs Zerg. JD who has played vP all the way up here should give him a run for his money at least.

Prediction:
JD 3-2
Taeja 3-0


He's pretty good from what I can tell. He rolled Symbol to qualify for the 5th place spot from KR.

Honestly he doesn't look too solid in PvZ compared to say his PvT where he always seems to have everything under control.

Keep in mind Jaedong has been training solely for ZvP for a while now and is finally looking comfortable in the matchup. I would be very surprised if First is able to beat him.


I think his PvT and PvZ are about equal. Same story, he's capable of godly play but occasionally he'll just utterly shit the bed. He plays greedy and sometimes falters under aggressive play.

His strengths are in how diverse and methodical he can be. Also, he probably handles muta switches better than any toss I've seen.

Happens with the best (GOM did the same resulting in a hilarious artosis gif). Just keep on observing xD.

Although Rain's stubbornness is definitely being successfully exploited, I think the comparison to CreatorPrime is premature -- Rain's mechanics are still arguably the best among Protoss players, and much better than Creator ever displayed. The fact that he managed to stay in the games for as long as he did despite having a huge economic disadvantage is credit to how strong he is. Taeja is arguably the best TvP player in the world, though.

No worries, dude. Shit happens. Hope you didn't get into too much trouble about it. Great observing.

@ Scarlett: lovely play. Hope you have a good break and return refreshed to be better than ever.

Why have I never really been impressed with TaeJa? Can someone explain it? >.<
He's really good, and I like him, but I don't think I've ever been like "OMG TAEJA IS SO FUCKING AWESOME <3<3<3"
Lol.

TaeJa, you beast! Just two more wins to score your biggest win yet!

Also props to ESL for awesome production value this weekend! Really nice overlays, everything is very fluid, loving Chobra presenting and interviewing/translating. The map veto process could be worked upon yet. Seems like only the first bans of the players get communicated properly to end up on the overlay. But that's just a very minor complaint.

Great tournament so far! Now let the Summer of TaeJa 2.0 make it perfect.

Maybe you are a broken human or perhaps a robot? Taeja makes me swoon. ♥♥♥

Bomber


Of course there are several forces at play here. Bomber's law combined with Jaekong and Taeja's summer dominance means its going to be a Taeja, JD final with Taeja winning it. That's the safe pick.

If this happens everyone will know that WCS America is where the real challenge is. Move over, Korea.
