And Blizzard wants to buff Terran? Instead they should make links in the balance tread to some VoDs of Taeja.

He basically won through superior early game play in all of his games.

TaeJa has long been the best SC2 player to never win a GSL. Eleven premier wins might never be matched and he's not done yet. MVP needs to come back and win a couple more. He's the only one who's close at nine of his own.

It was Zerg Vs Taeja, not Terran. i want to watch more Taeja destroys GSL players.

Solar is better player because playing Zerg in much more difficult. Larva injection, creep spread, melee and weak units, invariable BO and no thurtle mode. So, Solar is much better than Taeja IMO.

Being given the doubts some have about Taeja, I almost think now that they would eventually recognize him as a top terran only if he was playing for SKT, KT, or Jin Air (and that would be sad). Not even a question of GSL title or not.

Anyway, GG Taeja ! Always a good thing to see a Terran winning these days

Both of them made mistakes, and I feel that Taeja just made slightly fewer and was more comfortable in such a series. But damn, the overall quality of play there was insane. I haven't been so captivated by a series since, I dunno, Taeja vs Bogus last year?

Does any other player have more premier tournament/championship wins than taeja?

I know MC for example did earn more prize money but what about the wins?

He's edged out MVP, both in number of top 4 finishes and number of wins. MC has more top 4 finishes though (IEM Shenzhen and yesterday's Dreamhack aren't added yet)

Nope. The closest is MVP with 9.

MC has the most prize money but that comes from a lot of 2nd, 3rd, and 4th places finishes and Top 8s. He only has 6 wins although two of them are GSLs.
