Watching Taeja reminds me of Nada back in his prime. This kid is going to win something much bigger in the future me thinks :0 | ||

A lot of players turn down things like all-star games etc. to avoid being unfit to play their important games. tp be even more fair it was only Shoutcraft Major had to forfeit. no real WCS implications from doing it either. so, Juanito, fuck these haters. viva la raza!! | ||

I would prefer watching Taeja and Jaedong in GSL. Same with Liquid's Hero and so on. I don't really like tournaments for foreigners with top tier Koreans. | ||

Taeja has won that many in the space of about 6 months, at the least it is certainly an impressive achievement to be consistantly dominant like this. Taeja didn't win any championships? He wont DreamHacks and HomeStory Cup and Asus ROG.. But he didn't win Blizzcon, Season Finals or anything considered a "championship" against the deserving best players in the world at that time so really "near-bonjwa" is just silly. | ||

Nazgul came out and said that he had a redic schedule and was worsening his wrist problems if I remember right. So with no guarantee on the upcoming format of WCS why play the match and risk injury? If this is true, then it's simply a problem with the system. Someone in the EU challenger played random because he didn't give a shit anymore since it meant little to nothing. If a match has almost no relevance, it's hard to convince the players to try hard for it unless they have a lot of pride. Though to MajOr, people tend to be kinder to players they favor more. :/ We just need to get you on Liquid and get you a bunch of top finishes in major tournaments. Idk. People definitely have a double standard for their more favored players. | ||

People definitely have a double standard for their more favored players. That was Dayshi and that's not really true. He played random because his internet connection was unstable that day and he couldn't play good that way, so he decided to just random it, because he would only fall to Group Stage. | ||

Bitch please http://aligulac.com/results/search/?search=&after=&before=&players=taeja elfi&event=&bestof=all&offline=both&game=all&op=Search In these games, TaeJa is 6–4 (60.00%) in games and 3–2 (60.00%) in matches against elfi. | ||
