E.g. Pigbaby or Sacsri Also naming Has as entertaining while there are players out there that people actually tune in for is mildly concerning. | ||

Players like Maru, Innovation and Bomber have performed on much bigger stages and with greater consistency against the top tier players, but don't get anywhere near as much credit. :/ | ||

Then when he gets smashed by top tier players at other events they completely ignore it and act as if it never happened. It's crazy. Players like Maru, Innovation and Bomber have performed on much bigger stages and with greater consistency against the top tier players, but don't get anywhere near as much credit. :/ Yeah like when he edged out Zest 3-0, or edged out soO 3-1, or edged out innovation 3-1. Or maybe you are refering to him getting "smashed" by losing 3-2 to Life twice recently (and lets be real, almost everyone is losing to life right now especially in ZvT) in two of the best series of the year. I know what you mean when you say people overlook his losses, but the way you phrase it passes off his multiple tournament wins as "Taeja beats a bunch of lower tier players at random tournaments then edges it over the one or two top tier players that turn up". Aren't you doing the same thing you claim TL writers are doing? Your view comes off just as biased | ||

Zest ended the 12-13 season with a score that was roughly 30-18 if I recall correctly. Seventh or eighth place. He was definitely good back then, but it's hard to argue that 2014 wasn't his breakout year. Edit: 29-17, 7th player overall. | ||

Between those two, someone actually won a Code S. And it was not TaeJa. And why Bomber among the runners-up instead of Maru?? | ||
