I agree completly about the brilliance of the move and how it's probably the best play this year. But I'm not as nuts over Ra as I was when he was dominating OGN and when he first beat Nada to win the MBC league. Why? What's changed?
To me, his pvt game has gone to shit recently. First instead of going toe to toe with Oov in OGN groups, he does some wierd ass off cannon move that doesn't work at all. Then he loses to Ddang trying the same thing, then he loses to Doggi! I mean come on, Doggi? He played his two games vs friend really well, especially game one where he just played a solid pvt game. When he first one MBC people were saying how he's untested because he didn't go up against any zergs, he had a really solid pvt. Now everyone's saying that he's the best pvz in the world but his pvt is lacking.
I dunno i'm just a fan of pure solid play against T, nothing tricky, just goon ob opening and just out play him. If anyone can do it, Ra can but it just seems like he pussies out against Ts who have a rep of bieng tough.
It's just sad when a player of his caliber fails to qualify for at LEAST the challange leage because of a player like Doggi.

Nice analysis.
I agree that Ra's lost some of his old form of late. Ra's cannon rush v oov in the Gillette OSL was a cop-out, I agree. And his loss v Doggi was just plain silly...
