Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

but he didnt split because the mutas distracted him too much, if he had made turrets instead he could full focus and bop serral.

His splits suck even when he's looking at his army.

Taeja proved that he is on the same level as Serral at least - this implies that he has the potential to be a top 5 player in the very near future.
Banned for saying "zerg players are by far the biggest whiners in sc2 history" despite the fact that this forum is full of such posts about Terrans. Foreigner Elitists in control!

the splits aren't polt level, but they are pretty okay.

The real question is how many overlords elazer will make per game this time, I will bet on 33.

Actually, imagine if Serral gets bopped by a meme cyclone banshee uThermal build and TaeJa gets bopped by a meme proxy hatchery Bly build.

ofc. If he doesn't lose his motivation which he's been prone to in the past, he should be ready in about 3-4 months I'd imagine. His mechanics still look stellar, I just think he's a little lost in the latter stages of the game.

Pretty okay is sadly not good enough if your macro is as out of practice as TaeJa's. That Blueshift game was hilariously frustrating in particular on that front.

Will see but it might happen, I don't think there is a decent counter right now.

I just fear serral already calculated the best answer to the meme cyclone banshee build

maybe that's why his anti whine play wasn't as clutch as one suspects
I Protoss winner, could it be?

That's the thing with taeja, his splits are not flashy but there are super efficient and he relies a lot on a superb positionning. (Well not this particular time but overrall, he demonstrated it in the bo5)

Hope Reynor wins this and Taeja doesn't get Bly'd. That'd be an interesting match in the next round and it's probably best Taeja can remain focused on a single matchup as much as possible for this tournament

Homestory is such a great tournament, i'm going to miss it so much when it finishes someday. I consider myself a Maru fanboy, but Serral's lvl of dominance is amazing. Defeat this kid in a bo5 is something serious. And about Taeja, he has an infinite class and I hope he continues playing sc2 as long as possible.

Taeja wasn't respecting mutas but he definitely lost to banelings. If Serral was playing against someone who could split better than Taeja he'd have lost here for sure; on the other hand, godlike Serral with his extremely good control would have looked definitely better than he did last game.

His macro damn near cost him the game on Blueshift because he didn't have production for his 2k/2k bank. He's got some time left to stellar.

I can't agree on anything, literally.
