sorry but this makes about zero sense.

if you are glad he keeps playing then i suppose you like to see him play

if you like to see him play then i suppose youd be happy if an announced retirement is postponed or cancelled?

jesus christ, ppl getting dramatic over his "LIIIIIIIEEEEE" is ridicolous to watch

even if he is kind of a public person, at the end of the day we dont know shit about his reasons or his thought process.

maybe he talked his parents into giving one more year? maybe there were problems with the sign up for the military? or....god forbid...he enjoys the game so much right now, that he wants to keep playing?

I DONT KNOW and im sure as fuck none of you know either.

stop acting like teaja slept with your girlfriend

Taeja did just beat both of the recent GLS-finalists. He obviously has a chance to win it all. I hope he will do well!

Some people consider Taeja's "i retire" into "not retire" annoying because it's happened so many times. I kind of agree, too - if you want to retire, retire, but don't keep making a deal out of it only to go back on what you said four times in a row. It feels silly.

Usually you disarm one's arguments with logic.

Not by acting to be one's girl friend. Even though the Taeja Clap is tempting.

And I am/was happy. For the first through like 3rd time. Sometimes it just gets old.
I assume his young age is to blame for that indecision or maybe actual changing circumstances. In any case, and so you might understand it too - announcing your definite retirement a couple of times and then not following through = not good PR/smart handling of the situation/not all that professionel.

GL Taeja. May fanboys always bend logic to the utmost extreme to make your case!

Good to see him stay around. Who knows, he might win a GSL. ^_^

I will be pleasantly surprised if he makes it to A.

Taeja is Code S material. Code A won't be any problem imo.


Taeja was Code S material. GSL is such a different beast than foreign tournament you can't really predict how an awesome player in one will perform in the other type.

See Life. Not even code A, wins Blizzcon

And who said blizzcon is better than code S


You can't say one is better than the other. They're _different_ beasts.

I'll play you game. No one said it was better. Yet, Zest (GSL champion, said to be "best in the world"), soO (4 time GSL finalist, said to be "best in the world" as well) lost in the first round, Innovation (won last GSL) lost in the second round, and Classic (won before last GSL) lost in the semis. So yeah, no one said it, but it's kind of strange, hmmm ?

Because Taeja is a special case and probably hadn't actually told Nazgul or his parents yet when he said this lol

Why is it annoying? Did you make any when-Taeja-retires plans? I don't really get how it affects you in any way. Just glad he will be playing a bit longer and I find the whole reitre/not retire thing charming. A fun little emotional rollercoster each time.

Everyone with a healthy mind knew that Taeja wasn't retiring after Blizzcon. He just likes to make drama over and over. Everytime he doesn't place 1st in a big tournament he rants about retiring.
Putting the salt aside, im really looking forward to seeing him play in the GSL, i think he can definitely compete with the rest there, although he was better at 'on the run' tournaments like Dreamhack etc in the past.

I think you're confusing Taeja with Mvp

I think some people here really don't understand the variable nature of RSI. You have to remember it is a condition that can improve and deteriorate rapidly, and when its bad, it can be horribly painful. I've struggled with it for almost two and half years now, and for most of that time I've been on the edge of pulling out of my studies (I'm doing a degree in music), I wasn't trying to be dramatic during the times when I began to fill out un-enrolment forms, but they were times it seemed unlikely my condition would improve enough for me to continue. I imagine it is the same with Taeja, his wrists have apparently been okay recently, so he's continuing on, if they were still horribly bad, he would follow through with his choice to retire. He can't predict what state his RSI will be in the future, so it's no wonder his choices are constantly changing.
I really hope people will be more understanding of his condition. As it is a horribly painful and debilitating one, and it's impressive that he has continued on this far with it.

Quoted for truth. As much as TaeJa appears to be kinda trollish in interviews/tournaments, I really don't think his numerous retirements/unretirements have anything to do with his trollish behavior. And people who are annoyed by TaeJa should probably think about that for a second

Thanks for bringing that up. I hadn't thought of that.

People don't realize, $100,000 is a shit load of money, that much money could easily have helped Taeja decide to retire. Taeja wasn't trolling, he just wants to go out winning a big prize pool; it's like Jordan wanting to retire after he just won a Championship. None of the greats want to be remembered for retiring after a big loss and put a blemish on their legacy. If he does go on to win a GSL code S championship, or any other tourney with a huge pay-out, $50K+, I could see him retiring after that.
