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?
Watching Avatar, more likely

I don't remember that being mentioned there, but I'm going to assume you're right. You're probably right it's the more likely reason too.

Oh, so you come up with all this cleverness with the same technique Koreans come up with their nicknames?
