yes but i kinda dont remember stephano talking about it a lot, he just straight up announced it in one razer vid and it was fine, he was not talking "ye i might retire let's see" or was he? i am not so sure but i think he wasn't

Got it You realize that those mistakes Taeja can make in next series, and that Life can play differently? Life didn't make those mistakes against Innovation or other Terrans that he was playing. As I said, everything can happen. Up until this game both players have been playing very very well. But now one of the showed weakness and you say that player is the one with the edge in a bo5. Just a bit strange.
I've never said that Life has the edge...
Re-read last sentence of my first post, and last sentence in my second post...

People like to whine about how he doesn't "show emotion" or "look happy" when he wins some stuff. They want him to do backflips and break down in tears on the stage.
It's annoying.

Got it Would you say that Innovation would undoubtedly lose to Life in a Bo5 because of their previous series? It was the exact same situation there too. 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.
Well, that's silly. Taeja is probably your best bet at beating Life in a Bo5. Even I'm not enough of a fanboy to pretend otherwise.

Stephano was retiring at the start of every semester... just to announce to keep on playing for another half year or year.

Taeja has gone from stoic "i'm not supposed to lose to these people" mode to full Dimaga over the years. Well, a happy taeja seems to be a winning taeja :D oh, don't get me wrong, i love the happiness. i just think it's funny to remember him not showing any emotion upon winning a tournament and comparing it to now with that big smile on his face when he's not even won yet :D He already explained he was just super tired and exhausted and just wanted to sleep, and apologized for looking as though he didn't care. 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.
Koreans have to look happy all the time otherwise they get the emotionless Korean stamp. They gotta watch out for that shit.

I have to all in people for now because I haven't played ever since I stupidly lost to Jer99. I was too mad to touch the game and now my mechanics are garbage
Also my internet is still the worst known to man

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.
People are assuming way too much... I've never said that Life would win easily. And please, Life even managed to defend with that weaker army, but not as good as he could've if he had those Mutas and Banelings. What would happen AFTER that fight, who knows?

2 more matches today right? JD/JYP and Naniwa/Leenock?
