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


ive read his criteria. (for anyone who hasnt and wants to, here it is: ( http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/482944-the-process-of-creating-the-top-15-greatest-list )

according to him, guys like herO, Hero, Bomber, and Parting should all be included in the list. id like to hear the explanation for that.

When you told me that was seriously the first time I heard there was a word limit on a post, haha.


Is it because of the links? Cuz I remember some Ver articles which just didn't want to end as you scroll down for hours and hours.

TaeJa #3?
Dis is gonna be a cool thread (;
Edit : in TaeJa's article, shouldn't "For the other plays, there is..." be "For the other players..."?


fixed that.

And he did it in a hugely imbalanced matchup against superior mechanical players by refusing to engage. That is what makes Polt brilliant.


What? Biased much? Matchup was not imbalanced. Nice article but we know what race you root for. Taeja #3...another Terran player on top of this list, why am I not surprised


I must have misremembered BL/infestor and Blink Era. Let me check those matches again.

They were all candidates, but for multiple reasons they didn't make the cut.

How do you know they're left off? There's still 2 spots left and some people speculate a shared #1 or a player placed higher than 1 to transcend the list

Well, Taeja is a lot higher on the list than I would've liked. Top 10 sure, but no way top 5. Looks ridicilous when he's ahead of MC.

Mvp really needs to be ahead of Life in the top 2 though...

haha don't patronize me Parting and Bomber don't belong ahead of Taeja or MC. Parting is closer I suppose but neither deserves to be that high based on his criteria imo

for all we know you decided to base your criteria around taeja's achievements and strong points. this "criteria" excuse is bullshit; the title clearly states something else.

honestly id like to hear how herO didnt make the cut. going through your criteria he had as many if not more reasons to be included in the list.

now im going to see if youre gonna troll and have someone other than Mvp/Life in the top 2 just to spite us

Taeja N° 3...
I imagine that Homestory cups rate higher than two GSLs
Life won like 200k and didn't hire a proper criminal lawyer.

Look up herO's results and then claim he deserves to make the cut. Do even a fraction of the research Stuchiu did for this then come back and let's have a discussion. herO is almost certainly not even in Stuchiu's top 20 given that sOs, Parting, Bomber, Soulkey, etc didn't make it either. Who do you think herO has had a better career then than those guys, or anyone on this list for that matter?

Although I respect taeja, especially for his run a year ago, I think having him at #3 is too much but I can understand .

Parting not even inside!!! Last two will be Life and MVP. Guess ~15 times GSL Code S means nothing...
