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 makes what happened so much better. Rush's ass saved by his laziness. | ||

He was just unlucky af that game. | ||

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  | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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'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. ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/kJhPVIB.png) ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/rd51kf6.png) | ||

Thanks for checking! Too bad we couldn't see the scenario play out out as planned. Although then we wouldn't have all this entertainment ^^ | ||

For simplicity sake I trust the translation is correct. It's possible Rain misspoke of course. I'm just making some fun of him. However it doesn't mean what Rain said isn't wrong tho. | ||

He did the same thing against Last in Season 7 of ASL on a 3-player map except without a forge. The video starts at the beginning of the Rain vs Last "cheese" game. | ||

Additionally to all that, it's hard not to laugh about it because it's just funny. Plus it's such a random subtle thing to happen. So many conflicting feelings about this as an onwatcher. Solid gold. | ||

It was extremely risky to rely on one mineral patch to determine your opponent's position. He paid for it, and gave us a hilarious game. | ||

There is no chance of your probe being seen. You're fighting an uphill battle economically, so you want the probe to go home asap to go gather. The cost is your cheese being weaker and/or your transition out of it. | ||

Rain double confirm on the empty base. Takes less than 1 sec 2 clicks. @RJBTVYOUTUBE Unless Rush 8rax into scout, there is 0 chance will be seen. Dont forget it's Motive's first ASL possible first time in this type of big stage. | ||

I find it even more hard to believe people didn't test the speed at which it mines I got 65.5 minerals/min which makes it a bad mineral to mine, but actually not the worst #9, #3 are worse at about 65 #2 is 64 #4 is 62.5 | ||

Rush should have been mining it because its better than 4 other patches. | ||
