To kill an overlord? When he wasn't expecting a bunch of roaches? That's as normal as normal gets.

That was a bad decision by Taeja right? Idk

I think it was, he could have stalled a bit until the second tank was out with repair. If he truly knew SCVs would already be on the spot.

Why the pause though? Wrists was hurting? mouse problems? water break?

What an awful show.

This isn't entertaining, it's pathetic.

it's not provable and you obviously know that, it's just very suspicious that taeja built a tank when in every other game he transfered the tech lab, and right after the pause too.

he almost certainly wasn't intentionally cheating, but that doesn't make it less bullshiit

That map is so standard to go tanks on...


Yeah not sure why we're questioning tanks here. I think the only weird part was pulling the marines immediately after the pause to the main. That's a bit odd to me.

Going to prevent an overlord scout. It was actually bad for Taeja because he had only one marine in the bunker, which otherwise would've gotten more damage done before he pulled the marines out


I don't think Taeja did anything fishy myself, I have faith and I root for him. It just looked weird to me is all. plausible explanation about the overlord then. It was just pure luck that it worked out. The marines in the bunker would have died instantly to the roaches. They ended up doing way more damage behind the scv's in the main. Just good luck for Taeja.

Then why were Taeja's marines completely out of position as the roaches arrived, with one marine in his bunker?


Taeja let the first tank get picked off, as to try to convince the tin-foil-hat morons that it was legit... surely

/sarcasm.

This is actually comical, I thought this kind of far fetched QUESTION EVERYTHING mentality was only reserved to NSA discussion.

Hopefully he can pull through in the final game.


He originally had cross-spawns too but the game dropped xD

Tanks may be standard, but why get a Starport that early?

It doesn't make sense to rush our a Medivac for the 6 Marines he would have had.

I do a similar build in TvZ. It actually works out well with a tank to defend and super early drops usually before the Zerg gets an overlord spread to spot them. It wasn't that weird

The only Terran favored map since early WoL? Give me a break.

That hurt taeja more. He only left a single marine in the bunker. He went to snipe the overlord.

One thing is having a map being "favored" the other is plain stupidity like this one.

DayBreak was terran favored, and it was fine.

WHAT THE HELL? Deadwing close position should indeed be abolished (free T win) but how can you call daybreak T favoured? Z could defend his fourth/fifth while ravagin T's and P's with BL infestor. It was Z favoured despite being a very good looking map.

There is no conspiracy. Tanks were standard on habitation when it first came out. These close spawns are even better for it. Not surprised he went tank.

QXC was very surprised with the opening of tank and thought about it for a bit. He said Taeja was probably planning to tank drop the natural (behind it because of rocks) and got lucky running into roaches

It had nothing to do with his SCV sitting on the better third position for zerg...it looked like a 2 base all in to Taeja's scouting and...tank pushes are great in that position because of the behind the rocks tank position Taeja used briefly. That was just good play

Unlucky for Solar. That map is pretty silly, though; the horizontal positions are ridiculously close. If you can siege the other base without leaving your own base, that's a tad too close, no?

Taeja must be cheating.
He could never win a tournament because of his skill, right?
