no liquid`san ;;

It isn't just because he won the most recent tournament. He has been consistently getting better for 3 months now and was already a top 10 player. I think in the last two months the only series he has lost have been to Polt 2-3 and Bomber 2-3 both of which were very close. He also looks dominant in his games while the other top players are faltering. Some people were saying he was the best before DH. We was second in the PR before it.

Your self-clapping is also getting some attention. What's up with that?

I didn't know that I could play at that level at the time, and I was proud of myself so I clapped.


lol in what matches does this happen? link them if possible.

I agree and his friggin high skill level is quite apparent, just musing. There are a lot of Innovation haters who look for any possible way to say he's not a top player anymore, for example because he lost to maru or because he lost to curious, but I don't think it's that simple.

When Taeja says he's not the best Terran in the world he's not "disproving" anything, he's just being polite.

I don't either but when Taeja has won like 4 straight games against Innovation and started to kind of man handle him as of late it seems pretty safe to say Taeja has taken over him. Especially when Taejas other matchups are still top notch. In taejas own opinion his TvT is his weakest.

At this point I can agree that Innovation doesn't have a monopoly on the title. Probably best just to leave it there ^^

Why don't you just throw season 3 then, for balance.

This one led to a burst of laughter.

haha, awesome interview!

I think people really overlook how important of an 'X factor' confidence can be.

But then again, this is the guy who said that momentum doesn't matter.

Maybe some X factors are more Xy than others

Man... Taeja is a beast. I'll never forget that ghost micro against rain. I'm a huge innovation fan boy but that was unprecedented. Everybody whines but we are yet to see a Protoss of this level (for Zerg I'd say soulkey).
