yeah i m not even mad at it, it was well done by Calm. Sucks for P in general but off today s games, Rain wasnt amazing. Even vs Sea it was more Sea messing up. | ||

Honestly, the only terrible games were from Sea. The others were: a generic ZvZ, an actually good ZvP, and a generic ZvP. | ||

Honestly, the only terrible games were from Sea. The others were: a generic ZvZ, an actually good ZvP, and a generic ZvP. Sea got a tad unlucky with bad inputs vs Rain and a failed scv micro vs soulkey. If the SCV had succeeded in stopping or delaying the drone from turning into a creep he'd have had that game. | ||

Even vs Sea it was more Sea messing up. Wasn't amazing? What more could he have done? He absolutely demolish him with virtually nothing. It was just Sea messing up, Rain doing his part and even more than that losing just 1 goon again what? 2 tanks a few rines and a vulture and then targetting down the one vult that could have just still gave Sea some comeback potential (yea, not really)... I mean I will not say it was one of the greatest plays ever, but he covered whatever was a danger pretty damn well and he won that game with ease (as he should). Can't say much about him not doing his part there, that he wasted some goons early on? Come on he was so far ahead he knew he could do that and the later stop of the attack by Sea proved he was more than on top of things. | ||

Rain knew his limits and limited tested a little bit with the knowledge he was ahead. You're right on the money. | ||

time for a different build, idiots! Or wait, no, make observers buildable from a nexus. you sacrifice 1 probe to scout the den but the overall integrity of the game is improved by 300%. | ||

Even I as a max 2100 mmr Protoss know I can build a core before a cannon vs 3 hatch. Some1 can explain to me how a player of Rains caliber does not?

He just loses because the matchup is designed like that. And that's why P is the worst race. He built a cannon before core vs 3 hatch before pool.. how is this .. "not doing anything wrong" I expect to know a 3 hatch before pool to be identifiable by a 1800 mmr toss .. yet a 2800 mmr, decorated Pro can not? what a joke | ||

Probably one of the worst players in the tournament, but with huge brand/meme value/fan attention. Calm and Rain ofc also with big variety audiences and only semi-active in tryhard BW. And Bo1 for the upset value which Afreeca seems to value really highly. So meme games is what we get. | ||
