Game 1 Life was in control the whole game, then had one of those derp moments where he suicided like 10 Banelings and floated over the Marines with 20 Mutas and then he didn't have enough units to defend the 5th base. Second game was a huge gamble as Apollo said because he thought that he can trap the Hellions, but Hellions just get back in the base and all-in failed. I don't say that Life has the edge, but these games really didn't show much, these guys play on such high level that anything can happen in Bo5. On game 1 Taeja pushed out while maxed and had like 30 less workers and 3/3 vs 2/2. The banelings and Mutas insured the loss but he was pushing in a position where he had a WAY stronger army and was still at 4 bases with very little damage. The idea that Life wins easy without those derps is plain wrong. | ||

Pretty sure you could say that about just about any of the top players for Terran and Zerg. Or at least it seems that way. | ||

Well here's the deal. If he retires now, he pulls an Elway and goes out on top. If he waits, he may just fall off and have a Favre like end to his career. Disclaimer: May be confusing to people who aren't from the US | ||

The idea that Life wins easy without those derps is plain wrong. By the way it is true. Thor makes sniping mines harder, terran has much larger army and better upgrades. In fact it looked even grim for Life when i looked at supplies. | ||

Look at DH Bucharest and it looks pretty similar. The whole idea its a foreign tournament so not as hard is a little silly in this case. He played only 1 foreigner and only one other player isn't a code S level player. Don't want to go in detail too much, but winning a GSL is a much stronger peak. Not just playerwise (Dear, Soulkey, soO, Maru; while the players you call Code S calibre have partly failed to qualify for Code S more than once this year, or really aren't like ForGG or Sjow) but also formatwise. The preparation time and the longer series in the later stages make it much harder imo. Edit: Don't want to take anything from Taeja, but for as long as he avoids Code S, it's hard to judge. | ||

People need to get off TaeJa's back about that already :p Most of the time I see TaeJa he's grinning from ear to ear. | ||

One wrong decision in Game 1, one bad build in Game 2. look where it started. He said Taeja wont win vs life in a bo5. | ||
