EPTTaeja played amazingly well at the start of the finals but his micro started to slip a tiny bit as the series went on. Hope his wrists aren't messing with him too much, because he is the best in the world when he's playing at the top of his game.

But he is supposed to do his military service soon or something? He's doing military service at the end of the year, so this is the last year for Taeja as a programmer. He wants to study and become a social sciences teacher afterward. | ||

Taeja and boxer were on the same team and I think the community would rally around Boxer's decision. There isn't a single player out there that deserves the Bonjwa title as far as I know. If we define Bonjwa as a player who is a good head and shoulders above everyone else, alone. | ||

And I don't even know if he's the best player right now, there are other candidates. Who is better? Zest? Doesn't look like it. Innovation? Do you remember this epic series (especially the last game)? Jaedong? | ||

I am not sure how much better you can micro when you are trading 1:2 in cost vs. an opponent. | ||

According to Liquipedia: Bonjwa is a term used to describe a player who dominates the StarCraft scene for a long period of time. A bonjwa has a very high winning percentage and successive title wins. However, a bonjwa is not defined by his statistics or records. Rather, a general consensus is reached that he is the most dominant progamer of his era. ... Taeja has won 8 premier tournaments in the HotS era. The next person to win as many is Polt at 3. | ||

He would have dominated wings much harder if it wasn't for his wrist/ the broodlord infestor debacle. | ||

And all of that when any other T hardly reaches ro16 of tournaments. 3 premier tournaments wins when his race is said to the weakest one, none of other players can be compared to him! | ||
