| Mmh, this is going to be very hard for TaeJa, Violet had time to practice Heart of the Swarm and TaeJa has barely enough wrists to prepare for GSL. I think Violet will take this, although I am hoping for TaeJa. |

| Go go violet! All killed FXO in GSTL, and Tajea got stomped in pmroleague. Not taking anything away from his GSL, but will he be as well prepared for violet? Doubt it. |

| I like how we rate "wrists" as a quantifiable concept now. It's not rare to use expressions like "enough wrists", "not many wrists left", "recover some wrists" or "30% wrists enabled" when speaking of Mvp or Taeja :D |

I just like the word wrist for some weird reason, it sounds funny. |

It's all in the wrists.
That being said while I'd like Taeja to win it, I think Violet will win this. |

Gotta go with viOlet here.
1) TaeJa probably hasnt played that much HOTS, as he is still in GSL and ProLeague
2) viOlet looked super strong in HOTS and already did an all-kill
That said...Taeja is pretty good man |

| see this going one of two ways. either taeja crushes violet through early to mid game harrass or violet crushes taeja through overall game knowledge in the late game. in a straight up macro game taeja's just not experienced enough. should be interesting |

| viOLet was complaining a lot about other races in his GSTL interviews even after he all killed. Makes me think TaeJa probably stomped him |

I now want casters to yell "he went full wrists" when a terran splits his bio against banelings. |

| I believe in TaeJa and his wrists. I'd love to see him make it past ViOlet. |
| | I find Kennigit really attractive. If anyone has a picture of him please feel free to PM it to me. |  |

| Violet is very good in HotS but Taeja even though he probably has little HotS experience he is good enough to be able to win by playing it as WoL. |

| Wrists really sound funny, like it too ! Hope they tought Taeja the strong do or dies. Otherwise Violet will probably roll over him in the lategame. |

| TaeJa got a lot out of that pressure, and now Violet threw away the lings, I like TaeJa's position a lot. And Violet is making more lings and a baneling nest. |

| I didn't really expect that 12/14 to do that much damage. TaeJa is pretty ahead in supply already, and viOLet isn't even on a third base to do catch-up. |
