Poor guy... But it was more that he was really unlucky than that he fucked up, right?

As the guys watching said: he had to check more than 1 mineral block. There's only 7 SCVs at that point in time is what one said. Mains usually have 9 mineral fields.

I mean if you practice the build, you suppose to know this already. I dont know what he was thinking, probably too much stress.

Gypsy also mentioned in the cast that top patch is one of the better patches rate wise.

According to him, Rush didnt have the most optimal mining and that saved him.

It's absolutely true, Rush wasn't microing his mining efficiently. That patch is the 2rd most efficient patch. It makes what happened so much better. Rush's ass saved by his laziness.

Thanks guys. I woulda liked to see one of the pros comment on this in the video, but I guess it didn't make the cut?
Motive's prepared cheese build was super stinky. He was just unlucky af that game.

IF Rush comes with a video saying he deliberatedly didn't mine the top mineral field I will call bullshit, but it's an interesting thought to counter cheesy ass protosses online.

Rain's comment is just using the situation to his advantage to look smart on stream.*Oh, did I just count 7 workers and 9 patches earlier? Let me do 9-7=2 and impress my viewers.*

First of all what does Rain know about cheese? lol Come on now. That's just a typical League player boasting. Secondly, even funnier: he is wrong, because there were 8 workers already when the probe reached the base, not 7. But let's say there were 7 workers, then Motive should have checked 3 mineral fields to get 100% confirmation, not 2.

Finally if Rain actually already knew all that, he would have said it as the observer was showing 1500 minerals. Not only is Rain overrated, he also acts overrated

I'd love to hear more on why the double-gate doesn't work at 3 o'clock. Not enough space?

Think because of the gas position. If Terran takes his gas early, when the SCV randomly slips over the top to build it'd see the proxy.

At 7 o'clock he would have proxy at the top right corner of the base and unless Terran actively looks for it, there's no reason for an SCV to wander there.

Nah, there is space. I imagine that cannon actually can hit the gas with the diagonal? And if not he can build another to hit both the top mineral(s) and gas. Then there would be 0 tech for Rush and you can build cans at home to defend vs a counter, so it's better than 2 gate.

Come on, are you serious ? I get that Rain is over-rated, and i totally agree. But blame the translation or may be he did not express clearly, but saying that Rain doesnt understand what was going on is completely ridiculous.

The cannon can't hit. The cannon's 2 range out. the cannon's there to establish the position for the next cannon, which will hit top mineral and gas. ps: I did not place the next cannons where motive would, just to demonstrate the range.
