Lol this guy just never underperforms. I just had a look at his record at ASL and KSL and basically his worst performance was Ro8 and most of the times he got top 4, runner-up or just won. Became a variety streamer, came back in what initially was more of a fan service and just happen to reach the finals. Crazy.

Some of the comments here are spot on.

He is soo consistent, there was basically no bad miss-play/miss-read. (maybe that late-game mis-judgement on Butter)
This puts a really bad light onto the other active Protoss players. Turns out we have a problem with the quality of players, not the meta or maps.

I'm looking forward to the finals. I still think Light is favorite but not by much, and PvT has far more wiggle room than PvZ for P, so I expect Rain to fully take advantage of that.

I thought Mini vs Larva was the most excited for a finals I could get since Flash vs Effort but turns out this one tops it.

Total domination. Best game is G3 - funnily enough, the game that Rain officially lost (but mentally won).

Absolutely beautiful play from the winner. That was amazingly satisfying to watch. The guy is a true Starcraft magician.

Glorious stuff! GGs!

LETS FREAKING GOOOOOO

KEEP DOUBTING RAIN

LIGHT IS NEXT WE AINT SCARED

RAIN is one of the GREATEST MODERN BW PLAYERS TO EVER PLAY THIS DAMN GAME

AND THIS IS AFTER A 2-3 YEAR BREAK

sorry I'm so happy he played so amazing vs Soma and pretty much this entire season

No matter what happens vs Light I am so proud of Rain

Light is going DOWN

Don't forget Rain beat Light twice this season in straight up games

And other than the finals where he lost Rain has had Lights number back in KSL and SSL in the past (obviously Light is a much improved version of himself now)

The blueprint is there

For sure he will not crush Rain, Rain left as the best after Flash and he coming back as the best player.


This. Agreed skill wise

Results wise gotta give it to Queen

Rain was like Zeus and Thor with his immaculate storms. Best PvZ series of the year by far.

Holy shit, I can't believe I missed this live, it had same vibe from S4 vs. Larva but Rain showed this time deadly performance. That zealot micro, that macro, unbelievable decision making. And that dance at last game, poor SoMa, he gave his 100% but still denied finals.
WTF, this series should have more than 5 pages! It should've been finals!

If we had another 1 or 2 protoss players of Rain's caliber we'd be straight talking about protoss domination and balance issues, it's insane how consistent and unstoppable he looks right now. He is a generational talent.

Can't even imagine how far he could go if he didn't take 2 year break after that KSL finals. From being one of the best KeSPA proleague players before SC2 transition, By.Sun evolves into one of the best toss players of WoL and HotS SC2 era, winning multiple championships to comeback BW and become ASL/KSL champion. Rain deserves legend status - only toss from modern era that I will "add" into six dragons, so we can raise his status into legendary.

So many battles where Rain only had a ~20 supply advantage but just rolled Soma's army. Impeccable control. (Granted, Soma's always been a bit messy once the army gets to 3-4+ control groups, but just wow.)

I think this match gives further insight into the correct way to play PvZ. It should be heavily studied by all protoss and zerg players.
If you want to do the right thing, 80% of your job is done if you don't do the wrong thing.

Holy moly, that is what PvZ is supposed to look like. I'm amazed.
May the BeSt man win.
