Jim Raynor's Memory J
2nd MBC Survivor


fast forward to 33:50 there you will find the greatest protoss pimp imaginable. Yes, this game actually happened. just a tribute to the old school ways of playing. Imo the chance to have such a game today is a dead 0.
Man, just look at them. The new macro robots are pissing all over those guys' legacy
This is why I love SKT:

short game summery :
+ Show Spoiler +
ITR makes a 4probes rush, killing a bunch of scv's , Cloud doesnt GG, the game proceeds into a standard macro game , BUT intotherainbow manages to MC a terrans scv. He builds a hole terran colony, masses up a large terran army and with his huge toss/terran force rolls Cloud over...
the game is actually not that onesided as it sounds because ITR almost lost his main because of his pimpness

there are two separate games shown in the video. The game that the OP is referring to is the second game, which is played on Jim Raynor's Memory. The first game does look like Snowbound

Why would a pro-gamer send his scvs 1 by 1 at a probe rush to get picked off? Seriously how does anyone at that level of play get harassed by a probe rush.. This game seems a little "fishy" to me.

this is not the only case of successful proberushing ... nal_ra did it as well. its not that easy to react calm to such a thing, some zerg players still fall in panic because of the bunker rushes

How many times do you think he's ever dealt with that situation before that game? Id say in the vicinity of 0. And you have to consider who was doing the rushing, it's not like intotherainbow exactly sucked at micro.
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

Also keep in mind that both of them are good friends and for whatever league they were playing, they were both qualified to move on regardless of the result of the match. Of course that doesn't take away from the pimp nature of the game, but just something to keep in mind before you talk about how poorly executed the game was, and how little either of them actually cared about the result.

dont see how you guys can think it's so amazing when the terran is so clearly defending incredibly poorly (not defending at all in fact). and I could be wrong but doesn't it seem like rainbow's laughing at his godawful defense, amazed that it's working as well as it did? i'm pretty sure most C- iccup terrans would have defended from this so much better
of course that was like almost 6 years ago but still

thx 4 sharing, I havent seen it before. At first I thought disciple was refering to the proberush, but then... ^^

I pity those who are not able to appreciate the game as it is because they started following pro sc in the macro era.
