I really hope he reconsiders. He's kind of the only reason I watch SC2 anymore. his plays are amazing. I think he is the best terran out there and the best player as well. such a shame

Literally everyone and everything in SC2 is the source of drama tho.
It really is a shitfeast.

That's true, because nothing solid has ever emerged in SC2, people has nothing solid to cling on to, only dramas.

Taeja will be a huge loss to terran. I still think that among Mvp, MMA, Innovation, MKP, Maru, who all had their respective era of fame and success, Taeja is still the one with the greatest potential, the greatest skill. BoxeR had the balls to pick that kid into SlayerS, and Liquid had the grap on him. Taeja at his best can't just beat anyone, but will.

Avilo is always complaining, but these semi-finals really put some gasoline on his bonfire.
ontopic: Frack! It's obvious he's having health issues but I'd hate to see him retire. He always brings good games.

I think this is a simple case of injured wrists... it was obvious he was in pain. Sad though, he is such a great Terran player. I've cursed him many a time for knocking out my favorite zergs

Taeja has had shitty wrists for a long time
Don't try to blame this on imbalance, even though I'd feel bad about losing a chance at 100k because of a broken built

maybe he's not the type that enjoys the current atmosphere then. I think his reason is pretty good tbh. He's already 19 so he has time to go back and catch up which won't be as good later on.

Well, I guess he got the better end. If he went on to the finals we could see him suicide after herO blink all-in him every game.

RNG game too good.

those quotes always make me laugh out loud because they seem to forget or don't know that it was like that in bw for certain matchups as well when it came to dictating the pace of the game. Let us not forget all those openings Terran had early on as well where Protoss had a weak early-to-middle game.

As for the Blizzard titles yeah but those aren't rts and those rts peeps will still get their own fill.

I don't know why people like him and Squat still post in the SC2 section if they don't enjoy it lol. Makes no sense other than bitching and moaning about how they wish things were different.

well if he's miserable obviously he should retire. No point doing something that makes you miserable, even if you can make a lot of money doing it.
