Looking forward to see his games, I don't expect a championship but since Marus only "vulnerable" matchup is TvT he is one of few that could topple him

I waited years for this, I've never experienced anything in sport like cheering for Taeja and watching him triumph... WELCOME BACK TAEJA!

One of my random favorite sc2 moments, which I can't for the life of me remember well enough to find the vod of, is a tvt taeja played in one of the homestory cups he dominated. There's a few terran pros casting it, and they are cracking up over how both players are doing exactly identical builds and yet taeja is just ahead in every way just minutes into the game. It was a silly joke that all taejas units just mined/built/attacked faster but also very much real that he seemed effortlessly better throughout that tourney.

We are incredibly hyped about this. I'm so glad that we got this opportunity to show our commitment to SC2 and the players who played such an important role in getting Team Liquid where it is today. Thanks for all the support everyone!

I already was excited about Taeja competing again but it's really cool to see that he really means it again

God, I remember that Blizzcon series vs Life, and as a terran player, that loss hurt, especially after he dismantled the then best Zerg in the world, soO, in epic macro games

Favorite Taeja memories:

When he SSSTOMPED innovation in newkirk in one of teh greatest games of all time

Carrying TL in the team leagues

Winning

Being ranked really high in every power rank (liquid bias lol) but nobody was really mad about it

So awesome to see him come back. The Liquid approach was always to pick players and stick with them over time helping them develop and grow. Think it worked out better than EG approach of poaching champions. Hero and Taeja were phenomenal pickups. Zenio not so much, but he did trigger idra easily and effortlessly and BM him a bunch of times, so that was cool
