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. Of course. No one is debating that Taeja is really good (at least I don't think so), but I too question the validity of calling him the best in the world, period. That said, this discussion should probably stop now. Out of curiosity Zealously. Did you join the Puck fan club because of today? Yes! I was really impressed by Puck's play :o So was I. Dude showed major cajones dealing with what he dealt with today without complaining about it.
what happened?

Damn. Everything Maru has tried has gotten completely stomped.

A gangbang. But he resisted until the very end to swallow it.

Okay Classic if you can't make phoenix colossus work with this much of an advantage... please please please stop doing it the rest of the series.

Format calls for people to challenge who they want to play.
Long story short, everyone ganged up on Puck and he put up a hell of a fight before falling.

So many phoenixes... Curious to see how that will play out

I think Maru is just going to die here.

Is that too many Phoenixes? Haha, maybe not.
