Some might call that a skill but I say it really shouldn't be a needed one. It is the most important skill. All the greats talk about mental control all the time.

Theres a difference between mental control and everything going to shit like yesterday. One shouldnt have to play in conditions like that. | ||

It's bad, but a this point if you're expecting to never have to deal with technical difficulties, you're in for a bad time. | ||

Given all the foreign tournament experience Taeja has (and presumably, online qualifiers) I do think Taeja is used to being in these kinds of weird, uncomfortable situations. Not just the lag but in his interview he mentioned it was hard getting used to the Blizzcon setup (monitors, chairs, etc) but he pulled through regardless. One can argue it was unfair to Innovation or whatever but on the other hand you can also argue Taeja just has more overall experience as a pro and being able to win in any circumstance is part of being a progamer. The whole situation sucked but I do think Taeja proved he deserved to advance. | ||

San's PvZ isn't that amazing once you've dissected it like Life has. It's really powerful because nobody else seems to be able to do what he normally does and get away with it. | ||

Anyway there were far more problems than just that. Also herO has a right to be angry when it DC'd right as he was making the critical blink push. | ||

You shouldnt have to, but it happened. This is at least the second time Taeja has had to deal with it. And we didnt discount IM's 1-7 All kill of Taeja back then. | ||

San was 22-0 or something absurd in offline PvZs this year, including a win over soO in Korea. San's PvZ shouldn't be underestimated | ||

Taeja has bad wrists and he had the exact same situation as Bogus. Although downtimes shouldn't happen, it shows that Taeja has better mental fortitude which is important in sports. | ||
