This would be the greatest way to end Taeja's career.

Taeja produced so many top level games this is ridiculous. If he wins this, he is the best HOTS terran of this time!

He's gonna win all three tournaments, then decide he doesn't really want to retire

Meh, he won't get very far. Everyone knows that foreign Koreans can't beat top KeSPA players like soO and INnoVation and Zest.

There was this funny anecdote I couldn't fit in, but one time Rotterdam was casting a TvZ Taeja game and Taeja scv scouted. After seeing the mineral line, he immediately started defending for a proxy hatch build. Later Rotterdam asked how Taeja knew and he said there was 1 less drone than there was supposed to be. Then Rotterdam said, "Disgusting, you're disgusting." or something like that.


Which game is that?


If I remember correctly, I recall either HerO or Taeja doing this on Metropolis in some team league. In Hero's case, it was a PvT and one of the casters said that HerO realized there was 1 less SCV mining and he automatically knew it was a proxy 2 rax. I don't remember too clearly though, but I think HerO still lost even after holding off the 2 rax

This is one of the best write-ups so far.

I've said it repeatedly, gsl deserves more weight but foreign tournaments are still their own type of accomplishment. Personally, with everything Taeja's done in his career I'd put him above every gsl champ except Mvp with regards to the current all-time greats. He's pretty much been a mid to godly-tier Terran his entire sc2 career. If he wins Blizzcon, DH, and HSC there might even be an argument for putting him over Mvp.

I don't know if I'd agree on prediction #1 though. Provided Taeja doesn't win anymore this year, Life might catch or exceed him in premieres within 2.5 years. He's still got about 6 months and is 7/11 of the way there. It'd be fitting that it's Life, he's very similar to Taeja in background and in his amazing reactionary play.


8/11 of the way there!
