Rain did take some bad engagements from bad positions. But it's probably part of his larger strategy to make them appear as desperation moves from a player behind, and also to keep Shuttle away from his hidden expo. If he had sat back and try to macro safely, that would've given the initative to Shuttle to control the game an equalize his economic advantage.

Talk about losing battles to win the war!


I think you're reading too much into things there.

I don't think so.
Rain's strategy was to force some engagements, even if they would be sligly advantageous for Shuttle.

Yes, to trade armies because he has more economy - I don't think the idea was to appear desperate and behind.

Either way, in game 2 Rain's response to that first drop was ridiculously bad. It was like he didn't notice the drop was already in his mineral line until 15 probes were dead.

Nope it wasn't, if you play brain afk like this, you can't hope to get a good response to it...

Unless Rain has some tricky builds for the rest of the series Shutte will def advance.

Rain's response to the drop, not your comment.

I really hope this doesn't scramble Rain's brains and tilt him, I am looking forward to an entertaining series.

So, the dt vs 3 gate vs gate robo into 3 gate gamble now. I love Gladiator for that.

So far Shuttle's control has seemed MUCH better than Rains across 2 games, if I was him I'd be playing a safe 1 gate robo build.

what a stupid loss.

You catch 3 goons out for a free kill, and then throw down a support bay instead of an observatory...

So far this has been one of the worst PvPs I've ever seen. Random stuff on ladder is higher quality than this.

Rain made up for probe kills in this game, I think. I have no idea why Shuttle decided to skip on observers.

It was an strategic mistake not to make an observer first. Probably trying to cut corners to get a stronger advantage
