Has Taeja just not played against 1/1 Roach style? It's not like its rare at the moment

It went a little out of style, but he died to it a bunch back in season 1 IIRC.

I think Taeja can get enough units out this time though, especially tanks. Upgrades aren't super important as long as the tank shots are good.
#1 MMA fan! I like you too Taeja. Still patiently waiting for the Crown Prince to become the King.

I know Taeja is a great player, but idk... He's just... no identity, no charisma, no trademark style... He just plays and win.
That's why I will never be a fan of Taeja.


His trademark style is extending the game and exploiting his weaknesses. He's water. All these nerds take out their swords, their hammers, their guns and try to strike water. But you can't beat water. It just consumes you.


He's good mechanics, granted. But at least to me, he's no water whatsoever. He just plays standard, with flawless control, and incredible macro, for sure. But he lacks... flavour perhaps? Identity? idk, but there is something... tasteless about taeja.
e


Water is standard as fuck. The second any violet clash ends,it goes back to its normal state. It only changes when its forced to. Examples:

Taeja vs Innovation
Taeja vs Zest g3 yesterday
Taeja vs Yonghwa
Taeja vs Seed

What do all these 4 games have in common? When Taeja was forced to excel, when he was fighting the best in the world during their primes, he dragged them all to hell. He forced them into positions where it wasn't micro or macro or mechanics that won him the game. It was his better decision making, his better defense, his better game sense.


What's with the water comparisons, have you been reading The Art of War?
I am here in the shadows.
