To put it into modern day terms, it's as if Proleague switched to all-kill Bo9 format, INnoVation switched teams to Prime, then proceeded to all-kill Samsung, ST-Yoe, CJ, Jin Air, KT, and SKT 1.5 times. That was the relative difficulty that Taeja had to overcome with his run.

...this made me laugh and gave me nerdchills at the same time: when he was in shape, TaeJa was a monster!

Wow... I have seen much fanboyism here but this is simply too much. Just stop it with the Taeja bias already its getting old. And really hurts this site in general. These kind of articles simply cant be taken seriosly. Its a Shame...

Wasn't Taeja's IPL TAC run made easier thanks to korean teams playing generally from different server (IIRC most of the games were played online)?
Playoffs were offline. Still impressive but Proleague is always offline.

Since Taeja lived in Korea, either both Koreans played on the KR server or they both played on the NA server, he didn't have any inherent advantage.

Taeja. Witnessing that finals against IM on stream was so amazing, one of the rare times I was on the edge of my seat watching this. And even when it was all over, I felt so damn happy with how close he made it. Taeja was a monster this summer.

I like how the part about Taeja completely leaves out the EG-TL Proleague disaster where his winrate was below 50%. I mean, for Flash, half the text is about the worst Proleague season of his career. Taeja's worst isn't even mentioned in any shape or form, even though it was all offline in contrast to ATC.

that taeja run was hilarious (TL_LiquidSucksBallsWithoutMe nevar forget) but come on, Innvoation is the easy pick for greatest. consistently great over a long period of time, and he literally won every team league he's ever entered. no contest.

Yeah Taeja single-handedly saved an otherwise awful event. Guy was like fucking Majin Buu, just wouldn't die.

Inno's stats are simillar to Flash's stats from bw. Clearly best TL player in SC2.

Btw, will we see "best HotS players" ranking, or article ?

Main problem with Inno is that he rolled a 0 for his charisma stat.
Zest fanboy.

Taeja best team league player of all time off a single performance. It was one hell of a performance but still. Liquid advantage.

Hey we all love our Taeja is the best narrative which is set up anywhere you look at for achievements which aren't really comparable at all with the truly great ones.
IPL TAC, lol.

The comparison to allkilling all the proleague teams, cmon man you are better than that stuchiu -.-

It is time that proleague starts again btw, we all know it's the most exciting sc2 league there is.

you always find a way to disregard taejas achievements do you?
also there were all the top teams of the world so it is comparable to proleague

Hey it's not my fault that Taeja gets overhyped all the time I don't even wanna complain because i really like the articles and that stuchiu takes the time to write these, it's a great way to remember and revisit all of these events/moments, but yes anytime Taeja is mentioned i am here to make fun of him a bit.
"all these premier titles" Nobody ever mentions that there were quite a few uncompetetive ones in there. (just an example)
But yeah i doubt i can change the general view on Taeja, it's pretty much a lost cause

nope, before the Whirlwind super ace they played a game on Frost where INnoVation was fucking dead in what had been a complete mech mirror with no way to come back. Then he suddenly turned the game around and snatched the GSTL championship from AZUBU and, after that, he finished off heartbroken SuNo on Whirlwind.

You mean until Seed pulled Goku with Dragonball-based power restoration with Spirit Bomb to barely win.
