Disappointing from Rain/Fantasy. Going twice to ace match and losing both. That's really bogus.

Fantasy completely botched the 2 rax opener by being too passive with his marines, could have easily taken it by just going for probes or pylons more aggressively. Classic was on just 1 msc 1 stalker a fair while but had the luck Fantasy gave him time to get nexus cannon. At that point it's just won for classic as he clears every bunker in range of his buildings and has enough stalkers to prevent Fantasy advancing further.
Rain looks like he shouldn't have been sent out for the ace match, he was pretty lousy throughout this series. He seemed to be doubting what to do all the time which is terrible in a game like this. His zealot/archon attack was super late after seemingly waiting around far too long and it was also just poorly executed, Rain really needs to work on his aggressive plays. He only had +1 armor while the chargelot attack relies on +2 armor basically and he went for storm which is lousy in the attack.. Just go a few archons and attack much earlier.
All in all rain has been looking a bit poor the last few months, I think he problem is that strategically he is very weak. He is just the type of guy that plays super defensive and has great macro and control in lategame situations. This typically makes him dominate weaker players by just not caring what they do, defending it and then crushing. However he is sniped too easily by going weird builds I think since he is too predictable and not superior enough anymore to make up for that. PvP is also vastly different now with just playing safely into colossi endgame which he practically always won not working anymore, there are way more tricky things to get ahead which he usually does bad as. Overall he needs to work more cheeses and greedy openings into his game, both should work well for him because he is basically never cheesed or people don't expect him to cheese because of his all defense style.

We have more fanboys !

Yeah well... It's kind of true

But KT have fantastic coach. I would not be surprise if Flash wasn't playing innovation. They will try to snipe him i think. Do we know the players yet ?

That sounds soooooo unfair. Have some confidence in your aces. Or did you see SKT's best fall and admit your aces aren't as good as ours?
