Not really, he gives a reason to debunk the "durr liquid bias" in saying he has beaten koreans ect. However many of these posts are literally just "Taeja number 3 is dumb liquid bias bull shit" with no actual logic or facts to make their point. I am a big Taeja fan and personally think he deserves number 3, but I will listen to counter arguments, what I don't listen to, is the multitude of posts that don't use any logic or reasoning to back up their point. | ||

LiquidSucksBallsWithoutMe but seriously a bunch of you are idiots repeating the same "durrr Liquid bias Taeja never won a single game in Korea I heard" Guessing ya'll didn't watch Taeja in IPL TAC. Guessing ya'll don't think about how he has won more Premiers than anyone else. Guessing none of you have seen him body GSL heavy hitters (in weekend events and sometimes in GSL remember he has actually made some Ro4s) over a period of 3+ years On my GOAT list I had Taeja at 4 behind MC but I can see him at 3 The reason people keep saying Liquid bias is because it happens in every single ranking article Liquid has produced. I really love most of the articles the writers of this site put out, but I really can't take the rankings serious any more. I have written longer posts about it in the past but it's not really worth it. | ||

Have you ever considered that you might be underrating Taeja a little? | ||

I think you're just seeing what you want to see, I know a lot of the higher up writers personally and they don't even like liquid players for the most part. | ||

I understood some of the calls of liquid bias when he won player of the year or what not, however I really don't see it here. Third is about where I think he should go weighing his accomplishments(more Premier Tourny wins than ANYONE). This for me is why he deserves to be ranked highly. Innovation showed us that not any player can just leave Korea and win foreign tournaments, and many of those Taeja won had him consistently beating many high level players at the time. Had Taeja been first or even second, I could understand liquid bias, however I don't see this as some crazy act of bias at all. | ||

And it won't change the writer's bias. | ||

That statement is a cop out and does very little to prove your point. To me that says "I think what i think but I can't or won't defend it". | ||

Hero was never the best Protoss in the world. | ||

Read the comments everyone was freaking out about Taeja being top5 and this is coming from a Taeja fan I began to even speculate the credibility.

I have to give you some major props man don't listen to all those who will hate and debate you got cold hard facts here! I'm now interested though Life or Mvp #1?

People don't understand how good Taeja was. I have been at IPL TAC finals where IM defeated Taeja 1-7 (to be honest, it was more 1-8, cf Nestea vs Taeja rematch). I was there. It took hours, it was grueling. And yet, he pummeled his opponents one after the other. Taeja was incredibly dominant that summer. | ||

Anyone who has read my posts in LR threads will know that I am no fan of Taeja or even of Team Liquid, but I was still routinely accused of being biased in favor of Taeja when I was writing Power Ranks. It's not impossible, but isn't it just as likely that you, and many others, are biased against Taeja? | ||

Those two are so close now that Life won his third GSL and Blizzcon. Especially since one of Mvp's four GSL titles was that really, really small World Championship invitational. | ||
