Taeja is one of those generic terrans who managed to survive after the GomTvT era. He is overly hyped for being in team liquid, but if you look at his games he lacks that something. Brilliance, star sense, aura, whatever you call it.

wtf are you smoking? He took out Innovation, Rain, duckdeok this weekend, ALL won championships this year. You got to be trolling....

BTW terrans should acknowledge that marine + tank is just as viable as in WOL. I see more and more terrans doing tank push for whatever reason and they make it work. Perhaps some terrans are too used to mines (*cough* bogus *cough*) and the temporal aspect it provides, but marine + tank still works great if you are willing. Your marines will still get 3-3 way before zerg can have efficient engagements. Heck, it's not uncommon to see just marine + marauder + medivac without any tank or mine for players like MKP or Polt. Unfortunately David Kim likes the randomness of widow mine and thinks it provides "excitement" to viewers so it's unlikely anything will change about widow mines. But it's something to think about. For me marine + tank vs muta + ling is more exciting than marine + mine vs muta + ling.

True. Yet when I said Terrans should go back to using tanks again I got flamed and was told I had no clue what I was talking about. lol. Mines have their place, but so do tanks. The biggest benefit being that they don't have a 40 second cool down between firing, and the trade off being no anti-air.

Thank you. Those are pretty good achievement to say the least. Still I don't think he's a champion. Kind of like I don't consider Hyun champion.

What's your definition of a champion if not a player that has won a championship (or multiple)? .-.

Well, I am using the term "champion" at somewhat abstract level instead of counting number of titles. If you think Taeja or Hyun is/will be a great champion than I respect your opinion and will leave it at that. It's something we'll have to agree to disagree.

While JD is really good, I honestly think that if aLive had edged out First, he would have beaten JD pretty easily (considering that he 2-0'ed Scarlett). Shame First choked so badly.
Also, bomber so strong

Well I'm so glad I got dragged into this.

This is a roughly debatable (with slots 6-10) but solid list

Jaedong

Bisu

Jaedong wasn't even two rofl. Call me out when you have a solid BW foundation. Fanboiyism doesn't change stats or history. I know where Bisu sits and I'm comfortable with it.

Bisu beat Flash in the winner's league finals and the PL finals when Flash looked unbeatable in his vP. But I made this statement earlier and I think it frames the situation well.

It's like telling a shaq fan that they are anti micheal jordan
I can love one of the greatest for his position (shaq) and still have respect for the greatest of all time (Jordan). Which is why I have no qualm about saying Flash was the greatest BW player ever. But Bisu was the greatest protoss.

That's a pretty decent list although I may put Saviour ahead of Jaedong but I dunno my BW history that well. Ya, I'm aware of Bisu beating Flash in the PL finals but he cheesed, doesn't count

Winner's league final? Not sure what that is?

Edit: Jaedong will eventually win. Nice to see his spirit is not broken! :D

That makes sense, but at the same time, I can't think of Stephano as anything other than a champion.

this makes a little bit of sense, until you look at Sniper, Jjakji, Roro, Seed, and realize that they're obviously not as accomplished as Taeja, MarineKing, Leenock, Hero.
