He's just pointing out that people generally hate on "TL" or "TL writers" every time they disagree with an article. It's the same every time Taeja is ranked highly in a PR "Oh TL wrote this so it's just TL bias" No Stuchiu wrote it or Darkhorse did or some individual writer with his or her own experiences and opinions who are not paid by TL and their position is not dependent on ranking TL players highly. | ||

Interviewer: How much does you as a korean pro gamer practice? Do you do any physical activities? Big boy: Typically I wake up at 10AM. From 11AM until 2-3AM I practice. Being a pro gamer is a serious job, you have to put in a lot of hours. To be able to do well you need to dedicate the time. In terms of other activities I sometimes go out for a walk or something. I know other pro gamers like to exercise. Interviewer: Where do we see you next? Big boy: As a pro gamer, there is nothing better than to perform in as many games in front of as many fans as possible. Sharing games is my biggest joy as a pro gamer. I wanna go to every tournament possible. You will see me next in GSL. Interviewer asking question about celebrate, I didn't really get it: Big boy: I really enjoy drinking alcohol. When I get back to Korea, I will meet up with my friends. As a champion it's my duty to pay for the drinks. Remainder of the money goes to my mother. | ||

I'm doing my best to dispel the misconception of TL writers as some kind of unanimous blob of agreement I wrote Power Ranks last year, stuchiu did the GOAT series this year, Fionn did his ranking of the Proleague teams in 2013... More often than not, we actually (violently) disagree  also Fionn ditched us so we're allowed to kill our competitors | ||

Flash does something manly like killing flies in the KT teamhouse. | ||

And again, I wrote those. Me, specifically. I may be somewhat prolific and visible on the forums, but i am not in any way "TL writers", I'm just one person. Those rankings are based on my interpretations of results (and explained in their respective threads). And with that said, I dispute any assertion that I suffer from "Liquid bias", ask any LR regular. | ||

Would you really argue with the post-Blizzcon one? Like, Life won Blizzcon in very strong fashion, and only Zest and TaeJa were even real obstacles to him. | ||

Yeah that's a good case for him being biased towards Taeja if you don't read them | ||
