People keep saying that maru is the best terran in the world, but I think Taeja is better. Maybe classic is way better than any of the players taeja has faced...Maru army positioning and decision making seems to be a weakness. 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 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. It's easy to look as though you're in top form when you're against inferior opponents. Taeja hasn't played anything like what Maru faces in KESPA Code S Protoss players. Taeja isn't up to that level. When it comes down to play at Blizzcon Taeja will prove this. He isn't up to this level, not even close. He wins because he plays in a lot of tournaments, not because those tournaments have competition that are up to his level. Such a crock of shit, disregarding his dismantling of Korean Protoss players on numerous occasions in the recent past and he looks in close to his best shape ever of late. As far as I'm aware he hasn't beaten a WCS KR protoss this year. He played sOs and Dear and lost both times according to aligulac. Taeja is entirely outside of the 'real' competition and just farms tournaments with poor attendance, 'best of the rest' kind of thing. Let's be honest though. As comparatively weaker the competition is, even Maru/TY/Bbyong/Flash would be proud of winning a tournament without dropping a SINGLE map. Probably. It's a shame we don't get to see them play in nearly as many tournaments as we do Taeja.
TY went to Dreamhack Bucharest and got knocked out by MC in the Ro16 (who then promptly got knocked out by Impact  ).

Taeja is entirely outside of the 'real' competition and just farms tournaments with poor attendance, 'best of the rest' kind of thing. That was what, Blizzcon 2013? Not just Taeja but all these 'weak' players like Bomber and Jaedong did pretty fucking well vs the best the Kr region had to offer last time round. Tbh the WCS system this year sucks without the season finals for this reason IMO, plus weighted things way too heavily to foreign events. I mean HerO's been on a monster slump and can conceivably make Blizzcon, something is wrong with that IMO and I use him as an example because I'm a huge fanboy and still think it's BS
That's IEM world championship and ROG.
Jaedong has done pretty well last WCS season, but he's been the exception. Overall, AM and EU got pretty much creamed every finals event, the level just isn't there in EU/AM. MC doing so well in EU pretty much proves that.
And yes, the WCS system is the ultimate suck and blizzcon will be a total disappointment.

Yes! I was really impressed by Puck's play :o
