Also, Rain struggled a bit vs zerg (lost vs yoon twice for example), so if Action is on top of his game, Action > Rain | ||

They are all here having fun rather than seriously competing I feel. But Rain base level is still so high that it makes for excitement. | ||

That said Horang2 barely played any games at all. They are all here having fun rather than seriously competing I feel. But Rain base level is still so high that it makes for excitement. I guess off-stream, they'll practice against some practice partners. For example Bisu said in yesterday's interview that he had practiced with Jaedong and Rush | ||

Rain hit good storms on high ground lurkers, kept his zealots from running in, and simultaneously hit a dt/ storm drop. It is true though that Protoss getting to get **4** bases up and all their tech without having to build too many units is absurdly strong again zerg. Maybe Action should have attacked earlier? idk | ||

It felt like action was ahead but rain got to just delay his gateways 5-ever and get 4 gas econ going. I think he really did think rains 4th nexus was his third. He misjudged the entire game imo. It explains why he made no effort to counter it. He didn’t even have a spire. | ||

He keeps his zealots back while scouting for flanks and pulling back and engaging the flanks as they come. So much easier said than done though. He definitely played better than I thought. Although I expected him to advance from the group. Heh, Rain learned from his own play. Check out his series against Larva waaay back in ASL 4 (?? i think?). Just a-moved armies and armies and armies into turtled lurker sunken. | ||

On February 11 2022 07:44 emperorchampion wrote: juicy storms in rain vs action I think Rain having so much mana from Action not attacking early, was also key to be able to push through. Even being on the low-ground actually helps in this case, because HT can't be sniped. Maybe Action could have pulled away a bit or brought in more units + build a sunken. But distracting with the DT/HT-Drop just before was luring the support-units away from the main entrance and confusing Action. It was just such a good timing from Rain - even if he wouldn't have killed Action, the combination of dealing damage and 4 bases kicking in behind the attack would have brought him in a very nice position. My guess is Action was too much in the dark about what Rain was doing and where he was moving on the map. Definitely points out the weakness of Zerg doing quick 4 bases to Hive. Somehow this reminded me of Rush vs Soma in last ASL, when Rush just broke through that massive sunken wall, unexpectedly pummeling the opponent at the exact and maybe only moment possible. Very impressive strategically! | ||

Is there a way for zerg to mineral jump to the 12 oclock in that poisiton like rain took the 6? Rain seemed to sniff it out pretty quick. Later on when he was moving his army between the nat and the 3rd he went in and picked off a hatchery and backed off. I thought that was pretty measured and he never commited, just built up a big army and tried to catch reinforcement coming across the map. In his pvt game i thought his best move was dropping a goon into the main to oneshot the low hp goliath. had me laughing. | ||

As others have noted, Rain just has a knack of picking the right timing and army composition in his attacks. The way he suddenly rolls over his opponent on relative even supply (or even slightly behind) is just uncanny. All down to game sense (ala Flash). | ||
