If he says one more time he is most definitely going to retire after event/date X I will be conflicted about point 1. 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 | ||

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. | ||

I DONT KNOW and im sure as fuck none of you know either. stop acting like teaja slept with your girlfriend 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! #Passion | ||

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 ? | ||

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. | ||

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 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. | ||

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 | ||
