Players beat themselves when playing against Life for... two years? This isn't a one-off occurance, this is a pattern that rarely breaks. When Life wins, players usually make uncharacteristic mistakes against him. We're talking something like 100+ offline Bo3/Bo5/Bo7 since September 2012, does that not sound absurd to you? Zest might be a step above most players Life faces, but the manner Zest lost in is not by any means unique. It's common against Life, every time.

The only thing that would make it worse is Taeja winning now, so PLS soO, PLS win this I hate Taeja but I almost want to support him just to see the tears! You are a weird person
Yeah, how could he possibly hate TaeJa?

Don't think he really meant that it was the greatest achievement by an sc2 player ever. But I mean seriously making it to 4 straight GSl finals in the era of 3 finals per year is absofuckinglutely an insane thing to do. No matter if he won them or not

yes but talent level
Taeja > Bomber >> MMA
when he is on fire, nobody can stop him.

TaeJa does this a lot too, he forces his opponent to play badly

Nah, if this was the finals of a tournament with prep time, we wouldn't be seeing Taeja in it.

He 3-0d Rain at WCS Global Finals season 2 last year after Rain made the finals in OSL that season. People need to drop that 'Taeja can't hold up against the Kespa elite in offline series"

2011 MMA was better than Bomber's ever been.

Mvp actually won GSL 4 times. Taeja has 11 premiers. I'd rank both of those above a bunch of silvers any day. The difference is that Soo's results are consecutive. MVP fell to code a between GSL wins. Taeja's 11 premiers are over the span of 3 years and in much easier events. It might not be the highest peak but no player has ever done anything anywhere near this consistent before.
The funny thing is that half the time casters point out that spread out results are a lot more impressive.
A lot of players are strong for a time, but being there, falling and crawling back is arguably even more difficult.
Especially considering that MVP won a GSL while literally being unable to correctly play bio due to wrist injuries.
