Ah Taeja, he really cleaned up the foreign scene when he was allowed to. I really wonder how his career would have been if he had stayed in Korea and focused on Korean tournament. Thanks for all the memories!

I think Life was similarly talented to him
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment

I wasn't able to practice properly because of injuries, but I think I grew in other aspects because of that. Since I couldn't practice a lot, I didn't practice meaninglessly. I put thought into every single game I played.

Still, I think sometimes that I could have taken care of my health properly.


The European and North American SC2 scenes could learn so much from Taeja's approach.

Thank you for the meaningful necro post.

Shame that Taeja had to leave. Definitely one of the players I looked up to when I was tryharding as Terran in HotS, as well as Bomber.

Don't worry, with Liquid's LCS struggles he is primed for a return to stage.

When Taeja was on his game, he was one of the sc2 players that truly looked unbeatable, I miss him too.

Yea it was probably Life when all is said and done. But TaeJa definitely came close.

As far as pure talent goes I think TaeJa beats Life. He legitimately stomped tournaments against Code S opposition without practicing for them at all.

Life was still in school initially, but at least used his free time to practice properly.

You mean like Innovation, Zest and Life?
Furthermore, I consider that some kind of Code A must be reestablished.
