Time and time again, we find ourselves divided between two camps that would soon be given the opportunity to showcase their talents on the grandest of stages. An eventful half year since its release, each tournament and patch has altered the way we envisioned our masterpiece to be. This time around is no exception, as we conclude the year of Starcraft II’s arrival with the last of three finals that undoubtedly took the world by storm.
There’s absolutely no doubt that entering Saturday’s final that TSL_Rain remains the underdog. Admittedly unknown before his entrance in GSL2, Rain had an enormous amount of ground to cover in order to catch up to those who have come before him. Carrying a joyous expression as he eliminates players left and right, Rain knew he had to do at least that in order to claim himself as one of the world’s best. His games were not won without a cost, however. Throughout the tournament, Rain was a topic of controversy. Due to a selective few strategies that are naturally frowned upon by the community, the backlash he has received would have been detrimental to any players. Not Rain, however. Rain used the negativity to his advantage and put on an exhibit of skill the following day for those who doubted him. The pride that he has wearing TSL’s name on his back is now on the line as he faces the most important BO7 of his blooming SC2 career. The time for words has long passed, and now Rain must defend himself by no other means than to win. Opposing him however, is an opponent of magnitude never before seen in Rain’s act: oGsMC.
Along with FoxeR, oGsMC definitely has taken a course with Diddy in the art of name foolery. Known in BW as MBCGame’s irOn, he began his SC2 career with his full name Jang Min Chul but decided it was too long and shortened it to his initials, MC. His past success has carried over with him to SC2, where a mediocre run in season 2 is quickly eclipsed by a dominating run to the finals a month after. While Rain’s run consisted of games that tested his skills as a player, MC’s string of games mirrored that in a more sentimental fashion. Starting off the tournament, MC had one goal in mind before putting down his foot as a force to be reckoned with: to avenge his fallen housemate Liquid`Huk. In a match dubbed as “Revenge of the Hoodie”, MC slapped down the hammer of Aiur and crushed any aspiring hope that Odin had of advancing any further, while paying tribute to HuK. Next up, MC was forced to eliminate oGsHyperdub in a team-kill RO32, singling himself out as the only surviving oGs member in the tournament. A blast from the past arrived at the RO16 and RO8 as MC faced familiar faces from his MBCGame days in ST_July and MarineKingPrime.WE. Facing his dongseng and sunbae alike, MC showed no sign of hesitation as he cruised by the Golden Mouse winner and GSL2 finalist. Once again at the RO4 must MC play a companion who he confer as “his best friend” in Liquid`Jinro. Perhaps the best way to honor that friendship was to show no mercy, and the only way MC can be proud in front of Jinro now is to take it all home. The difficulties of MC’s games are not to be undermined, but it is the strength he has shown while competing with his acquaintances that has changed the aura behind him. No longer the suicide Toss whose nerves could get the best of him, MC steps onto the stage on Saturday night with all the qualities of a true champion: prowess, charisma, and confidence.
While the statistics show the T is slightly ahead on this map, the important issue is that Rain is 2-0 on the map and MC is 0-1, his only PvT loss in the tournament. Disregarding Hongun's flaunting carriers and choya's hard-fought battle against Jinro, Rain looks comfortable on DQ with its "rotational symmetry". All three of Rain's and MC's games consisted of rushes. Rain applied two barracks pressure on this four player Steppes of War when it's not cross-positioned, and they both have worked out rather well for him. MC's loss was in similar fashion, but it was MarineKing who capitalized on his early marauder pressure with a MM+SCV all in a bit later in the game. Rain will need to secure a fragile psychological lead on MC. If the two barracks play does not work out, Rain will be even deeper in the hole. A two-edged sword strategy, but MC is too solid to give up an easy win. Look forward to Rain's 2 rax bunker play, hoping to end a quick game one.
Rain and MC both won their games on this map. Both MC and Rain's opponent Hongun opted for VR-centric play, with the latter throwing in hallucination/blink/DTs and all sorts of tech. This was partly due to his first attack not dealing enough damage, forcing Hongun to cleverly resort to tech play. Rain did not seem particularly bothered by it, and pushed out for a timing attack minutes later. MC abused it much better than Hongun, being able to snipe out units and buildings alike from MarineKing. Anything but close positions : expect VRs. MC will take advantage of the sight given by the VR and its absurd damage to early barracks units to slowly overwhelm Rain. Rain will have to deter from his usual heavy barracks before tech play to hold this one off.
Again we see an eerie similarity in Protoss wins on Xel'Naga Caverns: denying the T FE. Losses from Choya and Hongun were completely different, but all three of Protoss wins were completely one-sided. Rain's key defense in his game enabled him to push back with a food lead, but was not a convincing win by any means. MC looked as if he had Jinro all figured out, and took little time to deny that expansion and march in for the kill. If both players decide to FE, it'll all come down to whoever can take that positional advantage and win a decisive battle between a myriad of counters from the two races.
The small map will definitely be beneficial to Rain in someway, but the signs have shown that MC is just as comfortable. MC reacted different to both Jinro and Hyperdub, knowingly that both his housemates have a variable style of play. Hyperdub's wall is picked apart by the superior range of the void ray, and Jinro's ramp was inviting to an early chrono boosted zealot. MC will most likely not expand early before using his units to deal a considerable amount of harass. While Rain's TvP is yet to be witnessed on this map, it's highly probable that he will need to outwit MC in order to gain a lead of his own. One base play for an entirety of the game will not surprise anyone here, and the build order battle is on as both players look to pick the correct one.
Do not be fooled by Rain's win over Genius to correctly evaluate this map. Genius made a grave mistake of not scouting the two barracks cheese in his natural and forfeited the game, but it is MC who gave his opponents no chance as he is undefeated on Jungle Basin. The map structure favors Protoss in a conflicting and ongoing discussion of TvP. The favorable FE for both players means that Rain will have to either grab a 3rd earlier or win on even bases. Reaching game 5 means Rain will have already exploited one of MC's mistakes and MC will be even more on-guard for any possible early attacks. Narrow passageways just funnel the units for colossus splash and storm, so Rain must utilize the mobility of MMM in order to match MC food for food. If somehow Rain is able to deny MC his natural, the game will definitely swing in his favor.
Those backdoor rocks are the bane of any Terran's existence. Making it this far, Rain would hope to end the game before those rocks spell the end of his GSL3. The long distance between two entrance is terrible for any defender, and without the ability to warp in units, Rain would look to be on the offensive most of the game. Choya's mistake of engaging Jinro from a narrowed angle lost him the game. MC again responded differently to MarineKing and Hyperdub, feeling confident in his execution of both games that ended shortly after the first attack. Rain's hopes look grim on this map and he once again will have to depend on MC slipping up in order to take this game.
It is a shame that had the series came this far, that the maps are no longer a boon for Rain. The early maps were more favorable, but statistics have shown that Metalopolis, being a rather well-designed map, is a birthplace of Protoss success. In the very first instance of TvP in GSL3, Libero demonstrated a powerful build in order to shut down Genius, but it was poorly executed and cost him the game. Rain quickly capitalizes on that to take out Genius in the following round, but that was it for the Terran as far as TvP Metalopolis goes. Hongun and Choya dominated the last four series in GSL3, from Void Rays to massive colossus ball, Protoss looked unshakable the second half of GSL3. Several factors contribute to this dilemma. As was shown, MVP opted to go for a quick expand, but VRs with proper micro obliterated the skimpy MM forces. In a vice versa case, TheBest was held off by Hongun with the same VRs, after TheBest tried to break with three rax pressure. The wide area in front of the natural is ideal for force fields to cut down the Terran army, making it extremely difficult to hold your FE. The open area to one side of a possible wall-in makes VR micro that much stronger in breaking down the Terran wall. Air distance between main and natural is also ridiculously close, yet very far for marines to travel. It would be in Rain's best interest to attempt a build to minimize his losses before reaching a critical mass to push in and win the game. Going into game 7, psychological pressure would definitely be the deciding factor for both players. If Rain or MC can stay composed and carry out what they feel most comfortable, we are in for a spectacular game 7.
Staff Prediction
Lovedrop
oGsMC <4-0> TSL_Rain - MC looked dominating as he walked over his Terran opponents. Rain will have to pull a plethora of rabbits out of his hat to take this one.
tree.hugger
oGsMC <4-0> TSL_Rain - MCvT is one of the surest things in Sc2. He's gone 11-1 in it this GSL. Rain is better than people have given him credit for, but he's not good enough.
TrueRedemption
oGsMC <4-1> TSL_Rain - Against a slightly less familiar opponent MC will still dominates, but might be caught off guard once or on DQ. I hope the finals are more interesting than how I see them playing out though.
Xxio
oGsMC <4-0> TSL_Rain - Cakewalk. Two of the games will end in less than 14 minutes. Rain will try the point defense drone timing push but MC will easily stop it, or prevent it from happening. Rain will lose once to blink stalkers and once to void rays. MC will not tech to colossus - he will go high templars. Rain will crack under Boss Toss' pressure.
Hot_Bid
oGsMC <3-4> TSL_Rain - MC has played well and gotten over his nerves. He plays aggressive but technical and smart. He's so unabashedly confident, and we need personalities like him to keep ESPORTS interesting. I like that he is Jinro's friend, and that he did that ceremony for HuK. I like that he tries to do his interviews in English and comes off super badass with his "I will win easily" statements. I really want him to beat Rain. Since everyone else is going to predict MC to roll, I'm going to go ahead and jinx Rain as much as possible. Rain, you're going to win 4-3 just because that'd piss off so many fans. They'll mostly be SCV all-ins as well.
(At this point, every single writer harmoniously sighed: Oh Hot_Bid..)

Our next issue will round up the last GSL of the year and distribute our monthly awards. In addition, an outline of our works during the downtime between GSLs will be announced. Please look forward to it !
Are people still complaining about "cheeses"?, get over it. Its been covered time and time again. When money is on the line, people will do whatever it takes to win that prize, wouldnt you?
Look at everything that was just said. MC had to play how many of his games against his teammates or people he knew?
Ro32 he played Hyperdub, his teammate. Ro16 he played July, who he has played plenty of times in the past. Ro8 he played Foxer, who he has played plenty of times in the past. Ro4 he played Jinro, his teammate.
He's now playing somebody who he hasn't really played at all and Rain will have Tester (One of, if not the best protoss in the world) on his team who will help him train. It's amazing how everybody thinks MC will walk over Rain.

Nice preview, I was mostly interested in the predictions though. I think Rain will almost surely be able to take 1 game off MC, but not more. I don't think MC will be able to pull off another 4-0. Rain likes cheese and one of his cheeses is bound to work.
I know this is a little bit off topic, but I really don't see a better place to post it ;] For someone who likes to bet XLBet offers some interesting odds, like MC winning 4:1 is 3.75, 4:2 is 4 and 4:0 is a whopping 5 if I'm not mistaken! Betting equal cash for 4:1 and 4:2 esentially gives u a coefficient of around 2 for an MC win. 4:1 + 4:0 is even more. I'd say an MC win 4:3 is really unlikely, and Rain winning is almost impossible, so it's a good chance to make money, way better odds than you'd get by betting on Football for example. ;]

Don't feed the trolls, goddamit, just shut the fk up.
Anyway, if Rain doesn't win both DQ and LT is see no way of him ever winning this BO7.
Just gonna hope for good close games (unlike MC v Jinro semi) but I don't really care who wins, just glad that it's not a zerg for third time in a row.
All of the Rain hate is kind of ridiculous. If Rain is so bad and doesn't deserve to be in the finals, why did NONE of the better players that he was matched against prepare appropriately? It seems like you should be more pissed at their inability to adapt.
Personally, I don't think it will be 4-0 Rain, but I hope that he can put up a better fight than Jinro.
Rain had more than a week to practice with some of the best toss atm, they are sure to have come up with ways to take games of MC. However, I think MC's overall skill will still allow him to win.
oGsMC Fighting!! I think he will absolutely CRUSH Rain like he crushed Jinro in the Ro4. If he loses then hopefully the forum won't be flooded with "QQ P UP" comments.
There is no way mc will lose I actually think i will wake up 8 30 (19 30 in korea) and it will be over already .... like 4 games less than half an hour
You can open that page by simply clicking "Time" in the upper-right corner of this page. I just recently found aout about this myself, so I can see how some people can't find it.
Have to admit i'm not particularly looking forward to these finals. Really seems to be a anticlimactic finals match.
Idk whether its my Zerg bias, or that i think the series will be one sided, or that TvP isn't fun to watch till the late game, I'm just not all that excited for these finals.
Don't get me wrong ill still watch, and because its Starcraft it will be enjoyable. However id much rather see Leenock and Clide duke out through 7 games.
Hahahh nice hype thread, but the staff prediction was all that matters in this article. for all the word play of "strategic plays" and "underdog" its clear that no one has overwhelming faith in Rain.
Should be a cool finals though, MC hopefully will bust out some tight builds.

I think its more of an overwhelming faith in High Templars
MC should win, but don't underestimate that Rain is in TSL, and TSL brainstorming is really effective at killing people in sc2. I hope it will be interresting, a 4-0 would be dumb.
not to stir up a debate, but seeing as how Iron was B level at best in the BW proscene and is entering the finals makes me wonder what it would be like if people like flash and jaedong moved over if anyone would stand a chance? Actually- July, Boxer, and Nada have all made the change too and haven't all had such results, so I guess it's safe to say that the results wouldn't go across the board - however i still think flash/dong would dominate.. just speculation though

Even if there was just one last guy holding out in the BW proscene I think we would still see speculation that if he went over to SC2 he would dominate.
Does anyone know if there's a pregame ceremony or something and when the actual games start? I'm just curious because if the game's start at 3 am EST, then I won't go to sleep first, but if they start at 5 am, then I'll be able to get some sleep.
I'm quite confident that MC will crush Rain. I predict 4-1, as I think Rain is a good player and since he is able to practice with Tester, he's got to be able to pull out one win on a map favorable to T.

* The broadcast will start at 5pm KST with the Finals Pre-show. The 30minute Pre-show will be in Korean only but the Finals, starting at 5:30pm KST, will be in English.
lol, this writeup is so extremely biased that i am beginning to doubt in teamliquids frontpage article authors. Rain riding his cheese-momentum and being a proud all-inner? Rain is the guy who apoligized to the audience for cheesing! MC making a dominant run? MC's games never reached the 10 minute mark!
ofc you love MC because you are basically teammates, but a bit more subjectivity would be great.
also whats with the korean links? is that a practical joke? wtf are these for?
I fully support a Protoss champion, OGS/Liquid, and Jinro's right as an awesome guy for his conquerer to win the whole thing; in short, I support ogsMC.
However, I'm quite sure people shouldn't at all count out TSL_Rain, and either way I'm hoping for some awesome games.
Great write up! Really appreciate the effort! I think we all need to remember that a lot of people were saying Foxer would go down 4-0 or 4-1 before the finals last season and he managed to push it to 4-3!
I would love MC to win but i sure as hell hope it is more exciting than a 4-0 roflstomp!

One thing that is interesting about that, imo, is that Flash and JD dominate in part because of their mechanics. Considering that without mechanics, these older players are probably very close to the top players of this generation, and that SC2 is much less focused on mechanics, I honestly don't think that Flash and JD would dominate nearly as much in SC2.
Warning: You're going to have a lot of pissed off people here in like 10 hours because the Banner says it's at 19:00 KST, when GOMTV and the calendar says 17:00, meaning a bunch of people might tune in 2 hours late now.
I get the feeling this is going to be a LOOOOOOOOOOT closer than everyone thinks... and I'm really not sure who's going to win. But I certainly hope it's MC!

Are you being serious?
MC's games didn't reach the 10 minute mark because he fucking DESTROYED his opponents. How is that not domination?
It's as if the fat lady has already sung with these predictions. A 4-0 prediction is just ridiculous... it won't happen. MC may take it, but not without Rain taking 2 or 3 games from him. I personally think Rain will win 4-2 or 4-3. He has undoubtedly played Tester 1000+ times in the past week and the fact that he has a practice partner of that quality is being ignorantly overlooked by most of these misleading predictions.
woww so many MC 4-0 Rain predictions.. I completely disagree with the rain hate, yes he cheesed several times and severtal times he has not. He won his games either way and in the final now. MC is amazing though and I wonder if Rain can come out on top, I'm rooting for OGS/TLAF so I guess 4-2 or 4-3 to oGsMC, looking forwward to some interesting vods can't have decent stream here (china) :-( plu is not streaming and livestreams are way too laggy. Direct streams from gomtv don't work, anyone might have other ideas let me know.
not following the gsl but would be funny to see two early game experts try out late game play hehe.
4-2 for rain, since mc will take 2 games with early pressure when he realizes he can't win long games. because rain build up some gosu snipe micro getting the obs with vikings and then taking care of all zealots and hts and then its time for the rauders hehe. Just snipe those sentrys down early !
I think Rain is gonna take more games than people think, but MC will win in the end.
Either way, I'm not really feeling this final...I was pretty excited before GSL1 and GSL2 finals, but this just kind of feels like a non-event. I dunno, just kind of underwhelmed by the players I guess...
I feel like MC is going to definitely win, but I'm not going to say dominate, although that is very very possible.
I just hope that the games are fairly long and entertaining, I'll be very disappointed if we see a lot of cheese or a lot of all ins from either player.
I don' think MC is going to roll Rain in every game, I feel as most of them will be somewhat long games with MC coming out on top. However, I wouldn't be so quick to count Rain out because he has some amazing practice partners in Ssks, Sang Ho, and oh ya Guinea Pig (sorta).
Both the players will be prepared and it should be entertaining, and I feel the ending score will not be a very good way to judge how well these players actually match up against each other.
Honestly, as long as it doesn't end up like another 45 minute Bo7 where MC rings it in 4-0 in under 9 minutes each time, I'll probably be happy. I'm hoping by some miracle it'll be a close series and a fun one at that.
I gotta say though, it's soooo much harder to hype up this particular finals as opposed to the previous two GSLs . MC is just such a huge favourite and seems to totally outclass Rain.
At this point, I'm expecting the finals to be nothing more than a formality for MC. If Rain can pull of something, it'd be worth it though, just for the fact that people will be talking about it forever .
Just wanna say: thanks so much for the preview write-up! This is the first preview I've actually caught, and the map analysis is very much appreciated. I love thinking about the little intricacies of the different players' play-styles on the different maps, but I would never be able to actually do the legwork required to fully understand all that. So thank you muchly for your research and wonderful presentation!
I don't have a lot of hope that the finals will be interesting. FruitDealer played a HopeTorture that was completely off his game (much like he was this season), NesTea vs MarineKing was "interesting" when I saw it but watching it now bores me to death. Nothing has been that exciting in the RO4s of any season either.
DAMN starcraft seems so ghetto. Mc is going to win TSLRAIN will probably try not to want to cheese but mc will kill the cheese and keep a look out HUK MC JINRO BITCH
What happened to the cool, pretty boys that tons of Korean girls drool over? Seems like every other BW pro was pretty good looking, young, COOL... [Yellow, FBH, JaeDong, Bisu, etc]
SC2 players look terrible!!! lol
PS: Ret might be the best looking guy in GSL atm LOL. He actually looks better since his BW days.
PSS: I'm not gay or anything, I'm just saying... I mean look at those mugs! XD
Anywhoooo... I want MC to win!!! Simply because he knocked out July =(((

Why did he GG in last game that early -.- For 87k He's not gonna try to force a draw by killing every single probe with the hellions and lifting a building? Pretty sure MC had less than 50 minerals left...
I'm sure MC was pretty surprised seeeing that GG since he seems to be pretty educated involving almost draw situations/base races (just look at the last jinro game, he imidietly knew what to do)
Actually maybe scratch that last part since MC made 2-4 last harvesters while the hellions was in his base instead of banking the 150 minerals so he could avoid a draw after he killed of the hellion threat

Completely agree. For that kind of Money, who cares about BM? Plus, you're already hated by the whole community XD. Anyway, to me the series didn't seem soooo one-sided. I mean, MC was really impeccable, but Rain was not too shabby. I still wonder how he didn't win game 2, and game 3 was a great display of skill, I think.

So... You are saying beating July is easy because he's played him before... Same with MarineKing who is a better T than Rain statistically. Then you mention something about Tester... MC is a better P than Tester if you look at Mechanics...
And of course the outcome of the match went the way it should have.
However I have to give it up to Rain for his cancel rax into shee's. That game was brilliantly laid out by him and MC fell straight into his trap and lost. Both players did extremely well and deserved to be in the Finals of this GSL.
first 3 games were great too bad the last 2 were cheese by MC, dissappointed in that since he always said he wanted interesting/good/fan-loveable games (whatever he said exactly) .. now the MC hating for cheesing can begin? Guess not since he's protoss.. a loved race since they weren't op on release :D. + cheesing is part of the game, hope everyone understands now A deserved win none the less and i'm happy MC can take the cup to the oGs house! oGs fighting! Hope to see a lot more of foreign action in the 2011! Jinro and Ret, rooting for u all the way!
Rain looked so sad Poor guy. I must admit MC performed really well. Outplayed Rain pretty damn hard. I guess MC has a reason to be cocky after all. Still, I hate that attitude. Too bad the 'good' guy lost. Oh well.

Good? I'd much rather watch a good protoss than another marine rushing all in terran.
