An awesome write-up Taeja was amazing... surely in the top three SC2 Terrans of all time, with Mvp and Innovation.

Innovation vs Taeja on Newkirk was one of the most insane games to watch in real-time. It was just that damn awesome.

Taeja is one of those rare few players that time and time again inspired me to pick up the game and keep playing. The best players have that affect on people . They inspire with truly boundless depth of play.

Samhain (pronounced /ˈsɑːwɪn/ SAH-win or /ˈsaʊ.ɪn/ SOW-in, Irish pronunciation: [sˠaunʲ]) is a Gaelic festival marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter or the "darker half" of the year. --Wikipedia.

Nice article. Not a very bold call to say that nobody will ever match his domination of international events though.. Seeing as there is no international events any more

Taeja was a beast in HoTs. If my memory serves me correct, during that Blizzcon, the final matches should have between Life and Taeja.
as long as there is Starcraft, life is good *insert propaganda here*

Yep, made the recent GSL finalists look like a pair of jabronies.

I'll never forget that game on Newkirk Precinct. You hit the nail on the head about his style being unable to reproduce.. He was always the best at Terran maxed out army controls, I always wanted to see what his hotkeys were and how he used them. His style was so out of the norm and difficult to replicate that it honestly made me a worse player for trying to copy his styles and builds. I wasn't good enough to macro well and play "defensively" until the late game and then press 1at2a3eeea4ddaa5dd6vv7s8s9s

I honestly thought it was a Korean word. A cookie for you, my good fellow!

One of a few player whose name is a noun now, aka "He got taeja'ed" aka game was close or even lost then suddenly he outmicroes you into GG.

But, but, but... He never won a tournament in Korea! Liquid bias! Scrub terran!

Am I doing this right?

For real though, thanks for a fitting tribute to my favorite player ever.

Doesn't matter since his sponsor is kind enough to classify Homestory Cups and Dreamhacks as being equally as premier.

^^damn that's pretty negative for a retirement thread post, I've enjoyed every Taeja game I've seen even when rooting against him and will miss him now that he's gone (if this is the "For real" retirement)

I agree on Taeja´s stylistic uniqueness as Terran, comparable to that of Life regarding Zerg.

Which Protoss would have that role?
