Taeja has long been an underrated player. By joining Liquid people are finally beginning to give him credit for his play.
I 100% agree. A lot of people didn't hear of him yet, but he has been on the verge of a GSL break out for a long time now. He already had two all kills in the GSTL and also several on line cups, but mostly people remember recent code S seasons. I hope he can start to get the attention he really deserves ^_^.
Taeja's been known as a really good player for a long time. He wasn't at all under the radar.
I think the article exaggerates how "badly" DRG played today, sure it wasn't the best and he made mistakes but this could just as easily be a case of people getting used the the unorthodox play style of DRG. Again I am not saying DRG was it his best today but to say that he would have beaten thestc if he had been is in no way a sure thing imo.

Some extreme math skills right here... jjakji won 2-1 when they met first. Then Taeja won 2-0. 3-2 to Taeja. ofc it could have been 3-3 and Taeja would have advanced but that's their format, some games are more important than others.
