Playing BBARAS' Luna right now.

Shield battery saves his robo expo from Luna's speed shuttle timing off of 1 base.

How good was Rain at BW before switching to SC2?

Just curious, never saw him play in BW earlier.

He was good enough to be on the T1 lineup for the PL finals. And all-killed Hwaseung Oz with Jaedong, Killer, Hiya and Shy (who would later be known as sOs as per TLPD) But I don't think he was an A-class player. It was too early tell back then.

He was a promising player with a bright future. He had yet to make much of a mark on the competitive scene, but he was already the best player of his te during practice, and I believe Bisu believed in him to become the best player of his race had the professional scene continued. Maybe he was a player in the same vein as Bogus, but we'll never find out.

He had some cool strats and people liked him in fantasy proleague. But not quite a star player yet, lots of people in a similar position to him skill-wise. Certainly a contender for the next generation of heroes, and his success in SC2 is probably a good reflection of that. Funny to mention Bogus here, since he has a very similar story. Baxter is more the exception, since he was looking very promising but ended up not being interested in SC2. SoulKey is in league with Bogus and Rain, except Soulkey was genuinely starting to look like the strongest Zerg at the end of professional BW (taking note that Jaedong was having a really rough time with his team disbanding and the poor practice conditions of team 8).

Thinking about BW players in those days makes me super nostalgic Like a real sports geek. It's interesting how big a part of the enjoyment of StarCraft that is.
LEGEND!! LEGEND!!

With one more year I think he could become an A class player, but at the end of BW he was "just" a good protoss player in proleague.

With all those players returning, do you think we could see more and more BW tournaments?

Really good, showed lots of Talent, but the SC2 switch was before he could live out his full potential (I guess he then lived up to his potential in SC2 tho, beeing one of the most dominating players of 2014 and stuff)
My heroes: Jangbi, Bisu, Stork and BeSt for BW, Rain, Zest and Stats for SC2! Need a better Signature tbh...
