Rain's tournament luck kind of dried out the last two seasons. Got hydra busted twice last time to go out. | ||

It seems like a better decision than taking a 3rd in the same direction of the Terran. exactly what i said, T army has an hard time attacking cross position all tanks need to stay in move mode for a long time and are very vulnerable .... | ||

It seems like a better decision than taking a 3rd in the same direction of the Terran. Actually this is an excellent idea, compared to taking one of the bases on the left side. I guess he didn't think about it at the time. It was a crazy game. But it was hindsight thought though. He couldn't be sure about the dropship thing and I guess both players didn't really know if they were ahead or behind after the rush. | ||

Then Soulkey would use his right to put Snow and Light in the same group, probably group C where Rush is the seed. And Rush's first pick would probably be Hero or Action since Shuttle and Barracks would probably be picked already. Group C would end up being Rush Action/Hero Snow Light. | ||

why P expand in the direction of T base, in a narrow enviroment is beyond my understanding ... when they have all left side of map available....can someone tell me? He was mining out in his main and needed another nexus to saturate ASAP. Didn't have time to be taking an island. Royal was slower to mine out his main, so he had that brief window for a 5 fact push. All Rain needed to do was to delay it and it would have been T on 1 mining base and P on 2. I don't think Rain made a bad decision, just Rain could have won the game vs Royal. He was ahead for a certain period. He lost it with bad engagements (he got very unlucky with mines too ofc). this | ||

Royal struggling that hard was scary and surprising I've been saying it for a long time, Rain being god at PvP overrates him as a player so much and overshadows his mediocre at best PvT. People keep saying he's the best Protoss and a championship contender when he plays, but he's lost so many PvTs to supposedly weaker players that at this point, he's just mini Bisu with better PvP and even worse PvT. I would rate him as the 5th-6th best Protoss right now, behind Snow, Mini, Best and Bisu, tied with Shuttle. Royal struggling also isn't too much of a surprise for me. He literally played like a god against all Zergs the one season he won ASL, but he's always been super reliant on risky builds, and his fundamentals aren't as solid as someone like JyJ or Rush. I rarely see him win super standard longer grindfests. | ||

If you check ASL history there are only Light and Flash that fit such description. | ||
