In any case the fact that Taeja is one of the very top players in the world means he is expected to deal with different play styles. Either by having enough strategic acumen to adapt on the spot, or doing his homework beforehand. That he lacked both is entirely his own fault. That said, he's still a big favourite coming into his next tournament though, one bad series doesn't say much. Don't you have to beat "very top players" before considered for such a title? | ||

Regardless, quite happy that Bomber passed through. Of those 4 Terrans, I thought Bomber and Polt had 50:50 chance while Taeja had 100% chance to semi-finals (don't really follow Heart). I was wrong on the last one, but it still OK. Curious what other bizarre strategy Pigbaby will show us against Hyun | ||

Taeja was smart for leaving Korea, as he never was competitive in the GSL, but this just shows you that results outside of Korea really don't matter much. The 3-0 TL preview prediction, as most predictions from TL writers (see EG-TL #1 prediction) was a bit silly, but at least now uneducated people will realize that beating up on mediocre competition in EU and NA doesn't make you the best in the world. "never was competitive" 6 code S seasons in a row, 7 if you coun't the one he qualified for but didn't play in : 2 ro8 (one losing to squirtle who was playing like a god before the final), 2 ro4 (both losing to the future winner ...) God uneducated people | ||

you don't get it, do you? Scarlett switched at MLG to protoss in the game vs DRG. + Show Spoiler + https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrJ9lGuvi9A She is a decent enough protoss to win vs DRG, so that is why I said: They have scarlett On July 06 2014 21:26 Philozovic wrote: "never was competitive" 6 code S seasons in a row, 7 if you coun't the one he qualified for but didn't play in : 2 ro8 (one losing to squirtle who was playing like a god before the final), 2 ro4 (both losing to the future winner ...)

He tweet "thank you for cheering me" and "congrats Pigbaby". Violet also did the same, but the other one seemed more concern about making excuses than congratulating his opponent | ||
