Why are we deluded? ...

Fanboy logic. Anyone who likes a player that you don't is either deluded or stupid.

imo, I think TaeJa is overrated... He's really solid, but I really find it disagreeable when people say he's the "best: especially when TaeJa wins an international tournament.

Artosis's Kespa player bias is really starting to get on my nerves. Same thing happened in the Life vs Zest series.

no he said if you put taeja in kepsa he instantly becomes a contender. i think he is right, taeja is the only one outside of korea is able to do that.


Eh, I don't think Taeja did that well in Proleague. GSL he got Ro4 in, but then you have to include Bomber as well.

Taeja doesnt work in Kespa. Nazgul said so. Coach Park said so. He's an outlier. He just doesnt work in that system.

I think Bomber has proved he can play against the best of Kespa and come out on top too.

That probably isn't true as Taeja hates teamhouses apparently.

It wasn't one mistake. He was wasting banes all game by constantly pushing far off creep instead of just pulling back and regrouping.

Nah it was him crashing into the Thor.

Artosis just likes macro zerg players. He has always liked them. Hell he was more biased to DRG in DRG vs Flash.

is soo really a "macro player" by zerg standards? tbh i feel like i would put soo way way to the aggressive end of the spectrum if we're talking about actual top level zergs

Ehh I disagree. Any good zerg is gonna have a few types of aggression in their arsenal, it's part of the race, but soO plays sick macro games

Doesn't stop him from hyping the shit out of DRG anytime he plays.

Artosis Protoss bias >>> Kespa bias

I have never seen Taeja pre-spread. He doesn't seem to like to.


ok, I guess he does not need that. I just see that a lot lately I thought that was the easiest way to deal with baneling

Sometimes having marauders in the front line is enough

Also marine target on banelings is pretty good.


That's where Taeja's splits and micro shine. In those smaller mid-game engagements with a few medivacs with marines against and lower number of banelings. He killed straight up killed Solar with earlier pushes because of it (which is what you were mentioning).

That's where his I'm going to not move and just shift+a click every baneling is ridiculously strong. In the late game with retarded baneling numbers that style is impossible.

He is actually incredibly diverse. So it makes him harder to pin down. But he does play great macro style.

if soO loses this game he doesn't deserve to be kong. Kong is a title most people would be honored to have. he'll just be irrelevant and retire

I think he marries macro and aggressive very well together, if that makes sense.

i think soO lost that game moreso than taeJa won it, his poor bane engagements, that poor overextension early on, taking waay too much dmg at the fourth, full credit to taeja for an insane game though...

I like soO's position going into the mid game a lot more than Taeja's. Let's see how that changes as we see some harass and engagements soon

Who cares what he wins when he's beating soO while soO is looking like the best Zerg who's ever played SC2? Seriously.
