Same goes for soO before the grand finals, we can expect a terrible series

Even the Bomber that beat TaeJa at his peak and Jaedong near his peak 3-2 and 4-0 to win the Season 2 finals?

Taeja can beat Kespa, it's people who leave Kespa for ez money that he has trouble with ie: Pigbaby.

Because during the summer's of Taeja he always plays in such a dull manner. I just find his games to be very weird to watch. A lot of domination. And when he loses the games are very dull also. I feel Taeja has no heart. Something I loved about Mvp, he always played with heart, even when he dominated it was fun to watch.

Bomber beats everyone in TVT though. I dont think he will lose to anyone in TVT.

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.
I guess I have an issue with 2nd place even being considered as "the greatest accomplishment", no matter how many times he achieved it or how consistently.
If he can maintain his form over a couple more GSL's, though, I may change my mind.

Not really...Flash destroyed JD in his heyday, I still can't forgive him for that.

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.
Plz lets not compare quality of gsl back in 2011 with right now.
