Taeja is a naturally slow starter, and IdrA gains a lot of momentum if he wins Game 1 (a game that Taeja drops often in bo3/5/7 series) so it adds an itneresting aspect. I think this is the toughest match of Taeja's career, although he has played players like ForGG, DRG, etc most of the time those were bo3's. He has won plenty of bo7's but never vs a player of IdrA's caliber. For IdrA it's obviously tough as Taeja is one of the most varied players you will find and is absurdly good at mixing in cheese at unexpected times and with unexpected ways (Reaper/Medivac push on Antiga and in GSL). I know I am obviously biased but I think this is a neck and neck match up and the biggest gap will being experience in IdrA's corner, but Taeja is not known to choke or anything in online matches, so I think it should be ultra competitive. | ||

I actually think that TaeJa has beaten many players stronger than Idra in Bo7s. Gumiho, Seal, and Crank are all definitely stronger players than Idra. That poll is great hype, but its also a bit surprising to me. For what its worth, I've spoken to TaeJa on occasion, and his favorite matchup is TvZ. This is gonna be great! | ||

Personally I think Taeja wins 4-3, because they are both of approximately equal ability. | ||

Did you even think you posted that? o.O Seal and Crank are better than Idra...What? mindblown...I guess player skill in Starcraft II is subjective... | ||
