As someone who hasn't been following the scene for some time, can someone enlighten me as to what Taeja's current "retirement" plans are. Have they completely been scrapped or does he have a new deadline by which he plans to retire?

All he has to do is build 6 Spores behind his mineral line, then Taeja will doom drop on top of them.

LOL completely outplayed. The only game that didn't come down to basic stupid mistakes was won by Zest (on Nimbus). Otherwise the series was horrible, far below Zest usual standards, with a lot of mistakes and questionable moves from both sides. But Zest was not being outplayed by any means, he just decided it would be fun to beat himself...


Classic lack of understanding of what makes Life so good. Do you really think people just coincidentally make so many more mistakes against Life, every tournament, every year? Really?


Probably the same people that have no explanation for why all the 'best players' self-destruct like chumps against TaeJa.

Well, if the opponent forces you to make mistakes... isn't that the definition of being outplayed?


... No one forced Zest to have nothing blocking his natural wall in game 1, to move out like a retard and no msc close in game 2 and don't tell me Life outmicroed Zest in game 5 because I'll laugh. Zest just made every click possible to lose after he set up that cannon. Those were totally unforced mistakes so no, not outplayed by any means.


Well, then Life has to be lucky quite often because almost every player lets Life's Zerglings into his natural/main at any point of almost every game.
Game 5... well... Zest decided to cheese and Life held it off. That's how it goes :-P

I don't care who wins, as long as it causes a maximum amount of tears to match mine.

Hmm even with the brackets the way they are Artosis thinks Taej has a better shot than MMA/Bomber. I think their chances are pretty even

I love to gloat, so you should know that Nimbus was one of the games where Life couldn't really do anything to win after a certain point. Every other game Life played better (but sadly had no detection in game 4). Even Zest knew he wasn't up to snuff, he went for 2 consecutive cheeses. He knew he couldn't beat Life in a straight game.

The favourite talk is really ridiculous on this level. It's more about mistakes, forms, intuition and a portion of luck too.

Taeja playing close to his best will absolutely dismantle soO regardless of what he does.

Bomber > Taeja > MMA in terms of recent form, I'd say.

The only tournaments he's playing after Blizzcon are the ones he's already qualified for. HSC X, DH Winter, IEM World Championship. Then he's calling it a day.
