I truly believe that series had very big implications on both careers. He was definitly favored against MMA and winning blizzcon would have put him over the top. Possibly even ahead of life. | ||

Taeja just didn't give a fuck, I don't think I saw him play StarCraft 2 all week. He'd just watch k-dramas and play League (in which he's Diamond 1 lol) with Victor right behind him. Of course he then goes to DreamHack and sweeps the tournament easily. He's one of the most talented players I've seen and he could've probably gone pro in any game he wanted. Too bad about the hand injuries. | ||

Many players visit and its generally a good environment for practicing. The seating is an open area where the players sit in the center and Victor (Nazgul) sits behind them. When Hero or TLO or Ret visit they typically practice really hard because the owner's RIGHT THERE working too, so they want to show they're a hardworking player etc. Taeja just didn't give a fuck, I don't think I saw him play StarCraft 2 all week.
