Taeja doesn't play any competition anywhere near what Maru faces.

Taeja is a top level Terran, but he'd get fucking WRECKED if he played in the GSL.

There's a reason he doesn't.

Taeja hasn't won a single season of WCS America. That says all you ever need to know about how good Taeja actually is vs competitive competition.

? Taeja is on better form than he's ever been, and he made several GSL ro8/ro4s. Calm your tits.


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.

It's hard to compare Maru to Taeja, Maru is only in Korea whereas Taeja is bashing Koreans that travel a lot.


I think Classic would have won against Taeja at Dreamhack. :/


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.

oh and sick PDD drop, i was sure that he just suicided all his medics, Maru and Classic are soo good :D


Actually I thought ppl been doing pretty good so far.

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.

I don't see Taeja matching SK and Classic, honestly. We'll likely never see if I'm right or wrong though.


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.

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.
