I don't love PartinG and I totally agree with him. Stuchiu is an excellent writer and clearly knows his shit, but PartinG at a minimum should be where Rain is imo.

He's better than Rain in almost every category except for maybe innovation.


Actually I rate Parting higher in innovation. It's his runs that hurt him.


You should write an article detailing why PartinG isn't in the top 15. :D

Seriously though, I can't wrap my head around it and it hurts me since I <3 PartinG.

thast like the last straw on taeja. how many more biased articles will TL write that has taeja highly overrated? wouldd love to hear again that its just the "authors opinion". this article just lost so much credibility.

This entire article was devised and written by Stuchiu on his own. If you think some mysterious TL overlord influenced his decision to place Taeja at number 3 you're a nut case. Yeah I would have had him at 4 but Stuchiu has been great at explaining his criteria and sticking to it. This list has more credibility than any other power rank we've ever had

Wow, I had just assumed from the depth and the scope of the article that this was something of a collaborative effort, well played sir.

I'm disappointed to see all of the anti-TaeJa bias that TL posters have. It's in every news article at this point.

Honestly as biggest PartinG fan there is I still thought Life would take it 4-0 or 4-1. Managing to take it to 4-3 surprised me. I can say confidently now PartinG is the best Protoss atm. Maybe still a little under in PvZ compared to herO, but much closer than I thought. Better in PvT and PvP though :D! Gotta stay positive.

Taeja #3, not a complete farce argument under that criteria...... but how many people would actually say Taeja is #3? Lack of wins in Korea is like never winning a grand slam in tennis.


Or rather not winning Roland Garros, winning some others (that could be considered a bit less "hard"), but beating the likes of Nadal, Federer, Djokovic on the way. That counts.

Also, some GSL were truly not as hard as some others (like GSL November 2011, GSL Season 3 2012, etc.), so uh, yeah, I'd not overrate players that won a GSL.

Seriously, Taeja has won way more premier tournaments than anyone else. If the ones that actually win GSLs are so better than him, how come they don't win these foreign tournaments?

1. 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.


I think this is an unfair assessment. 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?

Fair point, but I hardly read the power ranks for SC2, so I can't say anything about that.


Wait, you call out PR writers for something you say happens in all PR, but you didn't read those?


Naw it definitely feels like never winning a major in tennis,golf, nascar, etc. In other sports people would never give someone a top 3 spot if you have never won a big one. And conversely, if some GSLs were easier than how come Taeja never won one either? I don't think he's made the finals of the Korea tournament or even a WCS. I just don't put much value in winning things like HSC compared to a starleague. He might even be the best at weekend tourneys but you have to be good enough to run through drawn out gauntlets in starleagues and win.
