How long ago?
Seriously. Look at the last time Taeja played in the GSL and compare that to what the GSL is now.
Taeja wouldn't get past Code A in the modern GSL.

Nah, they are all empty pretenders while the President enjoys his self-imposed European exile.

Isn't that kind of what I was implying?
Either way it's hard to say anything for sure, so i don't care much for comparing two Terrans from different environments. No matter how good you are, winning a tournament without dropping a map is impressive. That's Nestea level.

That's pretty funny coming from you Considering i'm pretty good for not balance whining (i've had a few moments i'll admit) thats pretty funny coming from YOU! But overall I try not to balance whine. And no "protoss good race" does not count as balance whine lol. I was kinda joking when I said that.
Eh, it's implied. Anytime someone says "_____ good race", you can basically translate it to "i want to balance whine in a lighthearted, amusing way so I don't get modded for it". Not really a big deal, but you know it's true

Taeja was one of the strongest Code S players before WCS system. Very consistent.
I think he would still be a code S regular if he stayed in korea, probably ro8 or better material.

Taeja stomped Rain 3-0 and you think he couldn't take on Classic?

equal harass opportunities there. 1 protoss unit gets 6 worker kills and gets away. small terran army gets 3 probe kills and dies to 1 spell.
|
Uhh, what the hell is maru thinking. Seems like he can't handle the oracles even with turrets.
|
So sick harass and defense by Classic, really careful but powerful Oracle movements.
|
I think they should further boost Oracle speed and acc.

Well I cant control how you interpret things but I know what I meant. Next time i'll behind it. But my original point is the balance whine has been pretty good compared to normal. Usually its twice as bad lol.

I wish the likes of Taeja and to a lesser degree HerO weren't continually dismissed when they both made Ro4s in Korea, do better than many of the current GSL crop when they are at foreign events and both acquitted themselves well enough in PL.
