Same. Also rooting for Shuttle after his performance on ro16. He also stole the show in the ro16 group selection cermony. He was really sportsmanlike doing Mini a favor in the group selection ceremony.

I'm hype for what should be top notch PvP. Both players are good at it, yet with very different styles. Stoked!

Depends very much on how seriously Rain takes his practice. If he slacks, Shuttle may very well win this. Rain's performance in the Ro16 looked quite shaky at times. If you want, take a look at the preview for this round (in the Featured News). It has a statistic showing the PvP winrate of both and they are similar. Apparently PvP is Shuttle's strongest MU atm.

I predict Shuttle 3-1. Shuttle is great at PvP and most likely had more preparation, which will make a different on these maps.

Smart play by Rain. Constantly ahead and keeping Shuttle in the dark by keeping his units between the hidden base and Shuttle's main.

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.

He split two goons to defend against the drop but that wasn't nearly enough.

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

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.

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.

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

This is why you watch their nat exit point, if possible(unless they proxy a gate, of course). If he didn't chase those goons so hard he probably would be fine >.<

Differentiating colours in SC:R is just atrocious.
I assume observers cannot change the colours anymore?

How did this even go through.

Rain morphed all his templar into archons in the last game and Shuttle went for storm. Pretty sure Rain played it better, getting off clean storms is impossible when your opponents army drops in directly on top of yours.

Well, despite the fact that Rain was ahead for pretty much the entire game, there was at least some chance of Shuttle coming back and some nice engagements in that game, unlike in game 4 where Shuttle just continuously took a beating. Games 2 and 3 were just Rain and Shuttle making bad mistakes respectively.

so Rain won by being a trickster. I dont blame him, this was probably his best approach to the series, cause in a long macro game i see shuttle doing way better recently.

Pretty much sums it up. But Shuttle's game plan for game 4 was pretty horrid - he invested in two supremely useless dark archons before the first drop into his main; then he used high templar for storm, whereas Rain had a bunch of archons; and somehow he had less sairs in the beginning of the game.

And Rain made some great strategic moves in game 1. Transistor is such a tense map, I swear.

Shuttle's reactionary play is not fun to watch, especially when he is playing in the dark so much. His vision was weak in all games, so once he gets to react he finds himself in an unfavorable situation most of the time.

Hope Shuttle realizes he's too good to cow into submission. His lack of confidence spiraled into defeat.
Rain didn't win this as much as Shuttle lost this.

There was zero chance of Shuttle of every competing in that game. He had a third of the map unscouted for 10 minutes. It was dreadful stuff to watch.

Honestly, it wasn't "PvP", cause they both played bad. Shuttle positioning and reaction time to those drops through the last game was SO BAD.

Game 1 was a macro game, and game 4 too, albeit via shuttle drops. I don't think uncontested hidden bases qualify as being a "trickster", Shuttle has no excuse for poor map awareness and control.

There was two pretty alright games and two anticlimactic ones. Nothing too terrible. Why are people overreacting? Why on earth would people hate protoss players just because they dont like pvp?

They produced games that were not entertaining and, at least in game 2 and 3, their reactions and control were below their usual standards - and in game 4 Shuttle had a very disadvantageous unit composition. Hindsight is everything, of course, so I don't claim they are horrible, but the series weren't good and this is fact, although subjective. I don't think anyone here is bashing either player or saying they suck.

What happened to "if you don't have anything nice to say, better not say anything at all"? We all have different preferences. If you feel like coming with some constructive criticism - feel free, but right now you are just saying stuff that are only designed to make a certain person feel bad. Please keep it to yourself next time sir. I think he is doing a great job, always bringing a lot of energy to the cast and makes it fun to watch!

Pretty much. Just look at all the people calling out Shuttle for not getting obs before reavers in game 3. They didn't say a thing when he did the exact same thing in game 2. It just so happened that Rain went DT in game 3 and Shuttle paid for his attempt, so all these armchair warriors with the benefit of hindsight can look at the result and call Shuttle's build order dumb on the game he lost but not say anything about his build order on the game he won. Obviously Shuttle's decision to omit observers was an intentional gamble in an effort to try to get an army advantage on the 2 maps that have unforgiving ramps if you can push your opponent back into their base.

I like how you act as if you could judge it any better? From a pro gamer's perspective, your play is only a bit less flawed than the plays of your average 1500 mmr player. None of us is in the position to judge shuttles play because we are better, or even close enough to tell. But the point of a thread like this is to discuss the games, i guess.

They were dark Templar hiding in the shadows. Extra dark. Extra dark chocolate has higher cacao content.

Shuttle honestly played true to what his reputation was like when Broodwar was still rather mainstream: Someone who has decent mechanics, but lacks the vision and strategy (and honestly, brains) to put it together. Watching him play is incredibly frustrating as it consistently feels like he misreads opponents, under-scouts, has units in incorrect defensive positions, or focuses his attention on actions in the current moment that do not yield results.

Watching him seemingly confused as to whether he was going to respond to the surprise DT, for instance, by having a couple dragoons in his base, his probes scattering but making themselves available to be killed, while he has another group of units going into the middle of the map accomplishing absolutely nothing was aggravating. Nevermind the fact that he got a robo in the first place made playing safe easy to begin with, which he failed to do. Players like him make me miss when players like Stork, Bisu, or Nal_Ra (among many others) were at the top of their game, where you didn't just respect their talent, but you respected their decision making. (Though, to be fair, sometimes Bisu's decision making let down his talent as well).

Besides that, great games!

Yeah, the talent and game sense differential were both on display.

so, so true...
Stork is the perfect example. When you watch his stream, you dont understand why the slow and old Stork manages to hold his own against the very bests, Flash for instance, but then you look at his game deeper, he just understand the game so well and avoid bad decision making. He is not the best anymore and will never be again, but hes the perfect practice protoss for any pro imo.

Meanwhile in Ygosu everyone has been given a license to hate Protosses.

There was two pretty alright games and two anticlimactic ones. Nothing too terrible. Why are people overreacting? Why on earth would people hate protoss players just because they dont like pvp?


Ygosu is not a nice place for nice people.
Aldaris was the good guy of Brood War.

Wow, people really seemed to hate these games. I really liked them.

The first game was very exciting and Rains strategy of keep losing battles like that to win the war and keep the base hidden was exciting as hell to watch.

Game 2 I thought Shuttles pressure on the ramp to distract from the drop was well executed, Rain should've handled it better because a lazy half assed pressure on that tiny ramp shouldn't have distracted him that much and made him that slow to react to the drop, but it did and I thought it was exciting to see.

Similar thing with game 3, the build orders were exciting and to see how much damage Rain was gonna be able to get done before the observer got out was also exciting. Not great, but I enjoyed it.

Sparkle is so weird and it was fun to watch a PvP play out that way, I really enjoyed it...
nah

I doubt it was his strategy to lose the battles. He was certainly active on the map, which was his plan to protect the hidden base from being scouted, but he lost the fights because of inferior unit positioning.

Pretty much. Just look at all the people calling out Shuttle for not getting obs before reavers in game 3. They didn't say a thing when he did the exact same thing in game 2.

Game 2: Shuttle goes 1 gate --> robo. Going reaver before obs isn't a gamble.
Game 3: Shuttle goes 2 gate --> robo. Going reaver before obs is a gamble.

And a needless gamble, after he caught out Rain's dragoons. Shuttle-obs-reaver would've put Shuttle in a dominating position no matter what Rain was getting, and Shuttle had time to adjust his build after catching the dragoons, before the DT showed up. He rolled the dice when he didn't need to, and lost the roll.
My strategy is to fork people.
