In fact, I think soo is the polar opposite of Taeja. He excels at long best of formats when he has time to prepare for his opponents (except when it's the finals). Whereas Taeja comes up short when opponent had time to prepare against him. Remember pigbaby? If terminator and pigbaby were to meet Taeja in group stage of DH. The game will not be even close. Taeja will rolfstomp over them on his way to another 10k cheque. But when opponents had time to dissect his play, and dictate the series, they can get an upset win fairly easily. | ||

But because SC2 is a completely different game and based on Flash most recent results..I don't considered him consistent. He is around average I think. Jaedong was also a god in Brood War..in SC2 he is ehh..mediocore. Flash is consistent. He has consistently lost his last 11 games. | ||

Here's a short list: CJ.herO (the real hero) Rain soO Zest Parting sOs Life maybe Innovation If you don't do well in preparation matches and especially GSL in SC2...forget it. You ain't consistent. Zest, sOs and soO all failed to qualify for both SSL and GSL... How are they good in marathon matches? ^^ | ||

You ain't consistent. sOs and Life are anything but consistent. Innovation has had quite a few slumps. SoO seems to not do very well in any tournament that isn't GSL. The most consistent player on your list is probably Rain. | ||

Rain is only consistent in not winning tournaments. | ||

We all know traditionally taeja is not that great at long-time prep tournies and today just shows it once again, coupled with his early exit in starleague Starleague was a little weird though. It felt like TaeJa pretty much defeated himself there. Here, I didn't see the games so I don't really know, but apparently TaeJa played unusually badly? | ||

If you say consistent is only about winning...then all one has to do is compete in numerous small international tournament (e.g. TeamLiquid fanboy Taeeejaaa) with little to no top notch Korean players...win those...enter more...win those...then yea...you have the most winnings (LOL)...vs someone like soO who freaken does monsterously good vs Top Notch Korean Players and entered 4 CONSECUTIVE GSL finals vs top notch Koreans (no foreigners whatsoever). No one has accomplished what soO has in SC2, period. Has Taeja ever made a GSL final? (NOPE even back then when the Korean scene was far less competitive) If I win 30 LAN tournaments in 3 months, am I the most consistent player on Earth? (it's not a trick question) If you cried so much last night cuz Taeja was the loser of the group...then yea go ahead and say he won so so so many international tournaments vs foreigners, whatever makes you sleep at night. Trust me,we don't bash Taeja...but to say he is the best Terran or best player just because he won international tournaments, whereas the best KESPA players only play against the best, is very, very Laughable (heck I'm laughing as I'm writing this lol). Let's see what happens when you stick CJ.herO (the real herO, not your liquid fanboy) in nothing but international tournaments and have him face Taeja...lol herO would smash him 80% of the time. In short...to be truly consistent you must do well (but not always win) consistently vs the best Korean players (not foreigners). soO easily takes the cake here IMO. | ||

Let´s see: WCS Global Finals (where you had enough time to prepare) Taeja beat soO and Innovation.. Winner and runner up of GSL season 3 2014 IEM Torronto Taeja beat Zest IEM Shenzen Taeja beat Zest and Life and actually won the whole thing. IEM WCS Taeja beat Life Dreamhack Winter 2013 Taeja beat Innovation sOs and Life (2times) DreamHack Bucharest 2013: Taeja beats sOs Life and Inno WCS Season 2 Finals Taeja beats Inno and stomps Rain 3:0 GSL 2013 Season 1 Taeja made it to the Semis by beating Nestea Inno (seems like he always wins against our most recent GSL winner) DRG and Soulkey Taeja definitely only wins against Foreigners and bad Koreans right? He is definitely not Code S Material by beating GSL winners time and time again. Being a good player also means winning Weekend Tournaments. If it would have been that easy why didnt those elite Koreans win those tournaments when going to one? soO your 4 time GSL runner up got stomped by Solar at Dreamhack. Look all those players you mentioned are great players actually they are currently the Elite players (though half of them are in a slump) but I fail to see how they are THAT much better than Taeja Btw you know where cjherO was in Season 3 last year? Code A. Season 2 he did not get past the round of 16. By your definition that would mean he is not consistent right? ACTUALLY if i go by how you see it cjherO is also "just" a weekend tournament warrior since he never won a GSL NEVER was in a GSL final and only won IEM tournaments. In the past few pages no one said anything about Taeja being the best player there is just that he is indeed Code S material and that one season is not enough to judge him since he has made it far in previous GSLs. Anything else you wanna say? | ||
