2014 has defintely been about terran fans vs protoss fans, with zergs just sitting on the sidelines enjoying the show.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

TaeJa instead of Bogus for the title of best Korean Terran? Muahahaha
Between those two, someone actually won a Code S. And it was not TaeJa.
And why Bomber among the runners-up instead of Maru??


Between those two someone also has 11 championships and it's not Innovation. Why didn't he win any of those foreign international tournaments if they're so easy to achieve? He attempted plenty.

What do you mean with he attempted PLENTY? In fact most "elephants" don't have much practice in foreign tournaments.
Which means they aren't that good at dealing with travelling, etc (this is something which affects their performance).
Taeja didn't win his firts few tries at foreign tournaments either, BUT he actually had the chance to get better at dealing with these outside factors cause he pretty much is able to play in every single foreign tournament.
This is maybe a bold claim, but i think if the kespa boys would get the same chance from their teams, you wouldn't see taeja winning most of the foreign tournaments either.
Which leads to another point: these foreign tournaments tajea wins aren't nearly as stacked as code s (or now ssl).
Sure he defeats some good players there, but for the most part these tournaments are ridiculously easy compared to GSL/SSL/Hot6ix Cup/Kespa Cup/Proleague.
So yeah, taeja stays the most overhyped player ever (even though he actually is really good, i don't wanna deny that), nothing new here!


Innovation was on a foreign team (Acer) for the majority of 2014 and half of 2013. Why the heck are you talking about Kespa teams? They sent him to plenty of international tournaments. 6 to be exact. Taeja won the 5th he attended, ahead of 7 top Koreans from that time + Stephano. Your argument is baseless.

I don't think it is baseless at all. It simply is a fact that taeja attends more foreign tournaments than innovation for example.
You just need to look at blizzcon, Innovation couldn't deal with the delay and the problems there at all, i would argue that's cause he didn't attend nearly as much weekend tournaments than taeja did. I still believe Innovation would have won that series if this stuff didn't happen there, obviously that's my opinion here
I use kespa players as an example cause i think most people would agree that they are the best and most consistent players we have right now in sc2. (you could also say code s players, whatever). fact is that these players don't get much chances to play in foreign tournaments, which i think is a big reason they usually don't win them.
There are exceptions, but that's the general impression i got ( plus it is a reason why foreign weekend tournaments aren't that stacked).
So yeah, winning that one gsl this year is imo worth WAY more than the 3 tournaments taeja won.
I would even argue that playing in proleague and be at the top of that player list might be harder, but i don't think we should argue that, not THAT relevant here.
Call me taeja hater or whatever, but i really don't think i hate on him, i just try to look at the broader picture instead of repeating "but taeja won over 9000 weekend tournaments!!!"

As a big fan of both those players, I would ask that you back up why you say that not just say TL bias.


Ill back him up by saying tl bias

I don't understand why people get upset about people "complaining" ?
If anything it's nice to argue about this stuff, it shows people care about sc2. If we all simply would agree with the whole article it would be incredibly boring imo.

Taeja had the best results of terrans in 2014 imo, so yeah even tho I don't like him it's OK for him to be #1.

Life should be runner up I agree.

Sen 2nd best foreigner is OK for me since there weren't any noticeable ones except Snute. Well, maybe Bunny or Scarlett, but not really...

Jim best foreign Protoss I got no clue, there aren't any I would definietly choose, so I'm fine with it. No really good foreign Protoss 2014 IMO.

Scarlett was pretty noticeable, too. But maybe I'm just being a fanboy. Bunny only came around half way or so through this year.

Maru didn't even get a mention for being the Terran hero of Korea for like half of 2014? :/

Frost was a great map but c'mon that's a bs pick. Sejong clearly was the best map.

Blatant TaeJa bias aside, pretty decent list.
Like Tinkerbelle, I leave behind a sparkly residue.
