Jaedong had a winning record vs Taeja at one point. It didn't last too long tho.
I hope Life takes the whole thing. It's been a while since a Zerg has taken a real big championship.

I want Life to win but does indeed Taeja look really strong vs every race and I think TvZ is terran favoured already (MC said so too yesteday), so if the games are standard Taeja should win. can't remember but didn't he also win in times that no terran could ? like he wins all the time
Absolutely. Taeja doesn't care for balance, he just wins. But it doesn't hurt if the meta is in his favour  .

All four players I listed are ones he's lost to in offline settings
Ohh, yeah this one was online.

Everyone was. And if Taeja would have lost he would have been robbed. That was a travesty yesterday

Taeja spent 4 years playing at MLG, IPL Tac, DH, old IEMs, Northcon all so he could train for the inifnite downtime that was Blizzcon yesterday.

Oh, alright. I'm not sure I would agree that the players Taeja beat were much harder or that he did it much more convincingly (Life did crush San - the only Zerg this year to do so), but he's definitely looked good.

Should have stopped it and left it at 0-0 or 1-1 and played today...

Not sure about the BL-infestor era since i started watching sc2 after that i think but i think when protoss was kinda favored he was the only one winning shit.

Taeja beat the 2 GSL finalists, convincingly. Life only narrowly beat Zest but stomped a weaker player (San).

They're around the same level as targa, kane, jim and center.

During Bl-infestor era only Mvp, Taeja and Polt were winning things for Terran. And later on just Mvp and Taeja.

I think Zest and soO are on the same level, now Inno seems to be a harder opponent than San, but Life crushed San so hard and San has such sick PvZ stats, that I see their runs as even thus far.
