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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

Games 2 and 3 were just Rain and Shuttle making bad mistakes respectively. 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. | ||

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. ![]() | ||

It was dreadful stuff to watch. | ||

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. 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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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! | ||

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. | ||

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... | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
