This is actually one of the best interviews I have read in a while. I like that it was very cheeky and lighthearted, that made it much more fun to read.

Thanks Waxangel!

I didn't enjoy the interview that much. Probably because of his very short answers. Some were very unprofessional like ";;".

Innovation held that title when he was destroying everyone, but now it's not so clear anymore when TaeJa blows up the scene everywhere else including innovation himself lol.

Well, this was a really good interview. He's usually reserved otherwise.

Innovation never won WCS Kr or GSL though so we didn't use that to determine he was the best.


No, but he won a WCS, and then went on to 3-0 Soulkey, the only person that stopped him in KR. For a while he was the undisputed best player in the world; even when he did lose to Soulkey.

Isn't this what season finals is for?

Well it would be if all the regions were same skilled but they aint. As result you got people that could have done better in Europe/America kicked out of WCS Korea simply because the competition was harder there.
While the intend was good all the WCS did was making OSL/GSL less prestegious imo.

It also allowed for more high quality consistent content with WCS KR and WCS AM. Hell AM had half of the ro4 in the last season finals. WCS KR is slightly weaker mainly because foreign team members left it but most of the heavy hitters aside from really taeja and polt are still there. (those were literally the only players that were in Code S that left and the only that consistently were in code S)


And what I'm saying is that code S doesn't really describe the best of the best players anymore, so it's kind of irrelevant to compare using that metric when other code S players travel abroad and get smashed. TaeJa and Polt just happened to be Code S, and they're also wrecking the scene without the "blessing" a GSL win grants to a player's run for best in the world title.

TaeJa has a really honest view of the world around him, lol. I really like the style of this interview. Really straightforward and to the point.

Especially:

Will you throw WCS AM?

No.

I agree with him about not nerfing terran, at least the way that they're doing it on the test map. Slower widow mine projectile would be a better way to do it, so that only the best of the best zergs give terran a harder time.
