Me too. I'm more surprised than anyone at how good Rain's ZvP has become. The one thing hes done beautifully is not over committing to attacks like most Protoss. He uses his storms. Then moves back. A lot easier said than done.

Why is zero getting stuck on lair? He builds his hydras then stutters out. Not like there’s a ton of lurkers

If Zero loses this game it would be quite silly

Edit: Silliness averted

Well Rain was up 3-0 so maybe he just though "Fuck it" and go for the chance win.

Wow really? They're playing online? That would be pretty crazy.

I don't see Soma or Light beating Rain. When it comes to offline games he just seems to strong against non-Flash players.

At least we'll get one TvZ.

rain wants to play with light because soma plays lots of mindgames and thus will be a headache trying to play against him lol

damn.. Rain is a massive monster..

I hope for Rain vs Soma now, because it looks like Soma's ZvP is his best mu and he will have much bigger chances vs Rain than Light, I think..

I believe this match was in Zero's hands but he definetly understimated Rain's PvZ. He just overpooled every game and repeated the same 5 muta+scourge into 6 hatch Hydras every game believing that would be enough. Rain tho studied Zero's game and knew how to counter it, knowing its weak points and being patient enough to get enough mass of goon templar to take a third base and gain the control of games. Had Zero added more variety (which he is capable to) into the games of today match would have been closer.
