I had always thought his ID before By.Baby was By.Sun (back when he was playing that student league, during public playtest of a Longinus prototype on the Twilight tileset rather than the Jungle tileset), but the wisdom of liquipedia has shown me that it was Siz)Sun! Thanks Liquipedia!

Being in my 40s there is always some anxiety in the back of my head about things (and people) that I love going away or dying. It's an extraordinary pleasure and luck that just that single game that I fell in love with in the last millennium (!) is not only still alive, like some other games with a small but die-hard community (Quake1, Dark Reign, Warcraft 1 / 2, etc.), but it has a fucking Star League with people pouring their hearts (and seemingly all waking hours) into it and it's being performed at the highest level ever. Good people, I am SO FUCKING HYPED AND GRATEFUL for this!
Someday, you’re going to fuck up so magnificently, so ambitiously, so overwhelmingly that the sky will light up and the moons will spin and the gods themselves will shit comets with glee. And I just hope I’m still around to see it.

Word. Because Rain had a good ASL run in which he played his (seeningly) best game of all time, he got hyped like crazy by people who don't/didn't narrowly follow the BW scene.

Before anyone takes offense: I'm saying seemingly because his opponent's performance as well as what the observer shows you, matters. The observer did great btw, catching alll the great action that highlighted Rain.

Rain is good, but he is nowhere near top 5, not without months of dedicated practice.

I disagree. While hes out of the top5, pretty sure hes among top10, even without serious practice. Natural talent, and whenever hes playing, hes a threat to anyone, top5 included.

Hope hes playing

He's not top 5 but definitely "near" top 5.

Btw kinda hard to say who's top 5 right now.

I feel like the top 3 Terran (Royal, Light, Rush) are definitely in it, based on recent Proleague results.

Out of the Zerg, Queen hasn't regained his champion's level, Soma is in a mini slump right now, Soulkey hasn't been active recently, only Hero is consistent. I'd say only Hero makes top 5.

And Protoss (not counting Rain) just suck. Snow and Best still can't play PvZ and have never been top 5 really. Mini also in a slump compared to his ASL champion standard. Bisu spending more time playing that maple story UMS mod than actual BW.

I can see another Terran championship.

I'll gladly eat my words if Rain signs up for ASL15 and makes it into the Ro4. I don't see it happening. Ro8 at most if he gets a good draw.

I believe currently Bisu, Mini, Snow, Best, Zero, Hero, Rush, Royal, Light are all better than Rain has talent for and if Effort and Soma are serious about going for the title, Rain has 2 more difficult obstacles there. That barely puts him in top 10. Talent is not as useful if you're not putting in the work.

For anyone interested, Rain is playing Proleague today. Good chance to judge his current level after playing LOL for days. Afaik he just beat Royal last week (BO1 though) and went 5/3 on Soulkey. Not bad.

But the main question is, has he decided to play ASL anyway?

Rain lost to Mong and Shuttle today. Absolute monster what?
Anyway, I'm happy he was playing BW today. Maybe he will do it again tomorrow, starts improving and signs up for ASL15
