Now he is back in GSL and topped his round of 32 group - who else has been playing as long as him and still has his level of play??? FARKN NO ONE!

MC would be a contender for bonjwa status, but he has a flaw that everyone knows. MC can't play a macro game if his money depended on it.

Every time he loses, its cause the opponent managed to stop his all in. MC is the king of all in, but that is his biggest strength and major flaw.

edit: When I say biggest strength, I mean he prepares for his opponent so much, that he devises an all in tailored to specifically kill his opponent. And he will use it stubbornly.

I legitimately don't understand how people who follow SC2 closely can consistently rate Taeja so high. There are tournaments in Korea where the best players play. Taeja doesn't win them. Taeja has had many more opportunities to play in Premier tournaments than the players who play in the competitive tournaments. Because of that, he wins more often. He also has had more practice with the different formats. So he wins at a higher clip as well.

I can't read these darn articles any more. I feel like I'm going crazy!!! I feel like people are going to look back on HOTS and consider Taeja the best Terran. And I'm going to be sitting in the corner talking to myself!!!

He's an amazing player. He has a wonderful style. Every terran should copy him on ladder because of the way he plays. But is simply disqualified from being considered the best. Uck.Of course that's my opinion. And I get that people can differ. But it's weird how he ALWAYS shows up. It's like everyone is using some bizarre criteria and it makes sense to them but not to me.So strange for me.

It's because his playstyle is different then everyone else which makes him more notable then most.
It's the same reason soO went under the radar for so long despite being so strong and it took so many finals in a row for him to get noticed, his style is safe and standart macro play. (tho now it's more cheesy fucker with weird macro builds that can play standart if he wants to :D)

This is a general misconception about MC... whilst he is famous for his decisive all ins... he can macro extremely well~~

Mvp is the king by far. Gsl code S is the premier tournament and he has the most wins. His decision making and gamesense was a thing of beauty, and he had the mechanics to back it up. Watching him consistently demolish an arguably mechanically superior mkp was always great to watch. It is a shame to see him get wrist problems because the magic of watching him play has never been replicated by anyone else.

For people wondering why taeja is being talked about is because at his best he is championship material. When he is on form he looks like he is a tier above everyone else. However, he and bomber share a tendency for one day playing brilliantly then the next day playing awful and that is why a lot of people don't rake him highly. My fondest memory of his play is some team tournament with a weird format where he reverse all killed a team, then all killed them again for 8 straight wins. At that moment he looked untouchable.

Comments and views are not a measure of reach. I'd wager that this gets way more unique visits, while some people just like to spam Naniwa articles with abuse/whiteknighting.

MaruPrime, SlayerS_Taeja, ZeNEX_Life, SlayerS_MMA, MVP_DRG

Lots of pretty good players nowadays that have been playing since the first half year after launch and that are all probably around or above MC's level currently.
