If you get to the Ro8 of GSL two consecutive seasons while only being 17 you have any reason to be confident I guess. I knew his TvZ was good but a near perfect record vs. Zerg in GSL is really impressive.

Not to mention he's the King of ESV Weekly. And you know, he gives good reasons for his confidence, He beat Jjakji who beat Mvp in the GSL quals. He beat Seed in there too. And his TvZ is amazing. I think he's confident but not overconfident. It's just that players are often times too humble and that's become the norm, so when a player speaks his real feelings that he was confident it's perceived as arrogance or overconfidence in comparison to his peers.
Totally agree with Seed wrt forge expand. I don't understand why more toss don't open with 1 base to keep Z guessing. A lot of Zergs don't even send a drone to scout. At least in BoX format, protoss should incorporate more 1 base openings.
Taeja is the Prince of Nerds. So many of these players are like Curious, stone faced in the booth, but Taeja was fidgeting and celebrating everytime he won. It was so cute to watch. If I took down MVP I think I would have heaved the monitor to break the glass in the booth and then jumped out tearing my shirt off and screaming "I AM NADA!" Or if I was Taeja I might scream out that I'm Taeja, but it might be even cooler to yell out that you're Nada.
Taeja a little bit modest about his group. I think his odds there are fantastic. Puma will hopefully not be practicing much TvT in preparation for his NASL matches where he is the last terran left. Even on equal footing Taeja probably has better odds against him.
