Rain is a BW savant. Dude literally picks and chooses when he wants to be great at the game. Decides to take it a bit more serious this season and straight into ro4.

The anti Bisu.


And tbh he doesn't even look in peak form. His control seeming off feels reflective of his practice habits..

Funny how Terrans have quantity, but don't have quality nowadays.

Yeah, nobody has really stood up for the last three seasons. I guess Sharp could still pull a rabbit out of a hat, but I kinda doubt it.

While true, it's worth noting that 3/4 games were decided by cheese. Unless 'im wrong games 3-4 were straight up build order wins

Oh, that's definitely true.
Game 1: 12 nexus holds the SCV pull
Game 2: unscouted 12 nexus
Game 3: DT's vs no detection
Game 4: failed BBS into gate first.

In game 2 it looked like Rush could do something, but maybe that was an illusion.
In the others, I really don't know.

The score doesn't reflect the level of the players. Rain won off build order in at least 3/4 games, or 4/4, depending on how you interpret what a build order win is.

Note that same thing could be said when he lost 0-4 to Light a couple of seasons ago too.

Everything just aligned nicely for Rain today. Of course he still had to play solidly. But the BO advantage made things smooth for him.

After dropping the first game against Barracks this season, Rain has been on a nine game winning streak.

I'm really not sure. In ASL/KSL rain has an absolute killer record against zerg. He took out Soulkey, Soma, and Queen pretty convincingly (okay Soulkey was really close). He also did beat Hero in ASL 5 but that included sparkle which was pretty P favored against Z iirc.

Judging from tournament play, I really do consider Rain has having the very best PvZ over the last couple years.

Rain getting to the ro4 must be embarrassing and frustrating for all the other pro players who consistently grind and struggle to even make it past ro16, let alone classify.

Maybe someone do not see Rain how to play pvz. Who beat Soma (80% winrate zvp, the king of zvp at that time) in easiest way. And also beat Soulkey in same seasson. Rain also beat Hero in KSL. People who thought Rain easily lost to Rush and think will loose to Hero may shut up their mouth =))

Anyone else expecting

Hero > Sharp

SK > Snow
Rain > Hero

SK > Rain

Imagine a timeline where Rain the tourist BW player deprives SK from a third ASL/SSL in a row.

Do you feel it in the air?

The leaves are falling.

Just reading about those builds is making my blood pressure rise. I wasn't expecting Rush to win anyway but damn.
