nice interview, i love Rain <3

also always funny when they confirm the progamer stereotype in these interviews^^ makes me wish that they would actually focus more on the technical, game related questions though :D

It's really impressive how these people have tremendous egos and manage to keep a pretty effective lid on them. He is very sportsmanlike, giving credit to his opponents being difficult and acknowledging map balance being a factor. At the same time, he states that he plays "PvZ like Bisu and PvT like Stork" and is the huge individualist most pros tend to be atm, claiming he doesn't pay attention to what everyone else thinks or does.

The body clickbait in the title was hilarious.

Thanks for the interview!

Title reminds me of this thread, which actually delivers on what people were probably expecting here: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/brood-war/527044-asl-rain-wants-jaedong

I would be super grateful to anyone who could elaborate on this point by Rain for me: "I do not like to rule out any build or strategy on the part of my opponent. It is relatively common for us Protoss to gain an economic advantage by leaving ourselves vulnerable to at least one option available to our opponents. [...] I tend to avoid taking any such gambles even if it frequently means that I fall behind a bit in the early part of the game."
Like, is he talking about early game? All throughout the game? What kinds of things should I watch for in Rain's games to see examples of this?

Or here's another click-bait title contender: "Rain did not learn any new skills from SC2 (apart for mysterious APM increase) and insists BW being the more complex game"

Hate to burst your bubble mate, but there's a character limit on the title so neither this nor the other title you mentioned above would fit ^^

Thanks for the compliment. As for the rest, well, esports is about enjoying the game and content so titles don't always have to be 100% serious. Either way, this was a quote from Rain himself and there is a character limit on the title as mentioned above ^

He's an SCII player so it doesn't matter in this discussion since pros can use the same, aka see the main heroes out there lol.

I agree with you completely about the questions but you have no idea how difficult it is to get these guys to say anything that isn't vague or rudimentary when it comes to game-related questions. As you might be able to guess from his answers here, Rain isn't exactly the talkative type.

Flash is kind of the exception. If Flash is kind of like a professor (Hardy), Rain is kind of like a savant (Ramanujan).

Most pro gamers are closer to the savant category. People like firebathero, Stork, Iris, Zero are similar to Flash in the sense that they have a very organized bird's eye theory of the game that they can also explain on the spot.

Seems weird and it's just an opinion but it's been my experience talking to many of these guys.
