LiquidTaeja has once again proven that he is currently the best Starcraft 2 player in the world, by taking down this third international SC2 tournament, the prestigious European Dreamhack Valencia held on 22-23 September 2012. The Terran player came back after being down two games against another Korean Terran player and ex Brood War pro gamer ForGG from team Millenium. Taeja's win here adds another Euro 7,850 / $10,400 into his bank. His road to the finals seems to be a walk in the park by taking down Bly, Sase and Targa without dropping a single game from the Round of 16. The Terran player took down Warcraft 3 legend Grubby and even the best European player Stephano during the first day in an epic series (must watch). On the other hand, team mate Liquid Hero was not as fortunate along the way. Hero run was stopped by Targa's well executed mass Speedling rush in Game 3 in the Quarterfinals. However, Taeja managed to avenge his fallen teammate with style.
Terran seems to be really strong in the current metagame and Taeja as well as forGG and STC has proven so by taking top 3 of the 4 spots of Dreamhack Valencia. If you are a Terran player, start learning and copying Taeja's build and micro. The Liquid player has performed miraculously well this year. By reaching round of 8 in the Korean GSL multiple times, he will be aiming for the championship very soon. Watch and learn from this guy.
Actually, it was mass slowlings vs Hero.
ReplyDeleteImpressive play form Taeja indeed.
Hmm, maybe your right. All I remembered was the Stalker went towards the tower and lings got in before Sentry was out.
