11 rax ---> 5 rax reapers into expand. Do it.


Really? I don't see that possibly working, especially with the slowness of the build now

what could rainbow do different in this game? he saw cool getting the gold exp and tried to put it down asap, abusing the map cliff. Cool just defended it amazingly well


I think a bunker would have worked out well, but Rainbow just had the tank drops in mind the whole time... And didn't seem like he wanted to change that...


Except Cool had an overlord there and drones sent early so a bunker play would have been hard to pull off.

I think Rainbow is taking the right approach in trying to make it a macro game. Yes, Cool is a great macro player too, but he also has great map awareness and it is extremely difficult to harass him as evident throughout the entire series. The best was done by LiveForever in Game 1 of their series, but even after killing numerous drones with reapers, banshees, Cool still had a stronger economy.

Everyone who is criticizing Rainbow are underestimating Cool and treating him like some Average Joe from ladder. If standard TvZ worked on him, he wouldn't have been able to pass TOP and LiveForever and enter the finals.

Refresh my memory, but wasn't it Cool that made that huge splash about only winning 10% of his practice matches? Was he just throwing that # out a a joke, was that based on one day, or what?

Because right now that win% needs another 0.


His partners are Clide and Tester, so I don't think it was a joke. However their styles may be better suited to beat him than drop harass (clearly its not working).

It was mindgames. He wasn't being serious.

Haha, it is so true what idra said:
thank you rainbow, for making zerg look good.


For me it's like when someone does play as bad as HopeTorture the other player looks like a God when he beats him. And funny thing is that Zerg's random (hidden) expansions and Nydus in a base is such a cheesy and gimmicky play. C'mon, you gotta admit that.


Jaedong made Flash look like a God in the most recent OSL finals, yet Jaedong is the 2nd best player in the world. When a good player gets an advantage over another good player, they just compound it until it looks like they're steamrolling.



Well, Flash is actually as close to God as any RTS has ever seen

IdrA and Cool are equally good in my eyes, just different playstyles, if idra learns howw to all in and be more volatile like FD he could easily bbe better than FD I think though they'll be the same level sstill I think.


Totally agree there.
It's sad how, each time a Zerg wins a game, it ends in some discussion about how bad IdrA is.

this is so dumb... he made a mistake, or was distracted by something else, + when it's RIGHT next to a building it's harder to see on the minimap. blah blah why is itr such a scrub, right ~_~

it wasn't random. If he expo'd ANYWHERE else he knew he can't hold tank drop. Forcing the terran to try and drop at the small gold ledge and then have roaches on one side, crawlers on the other ITR did exactly what cool wanted him to do.

Exactly. When have we seen that before? It's brilliant.



Definitely, I just want people to see how incredible it was. It was not random, it was such a perfect strategical move most people will watch it and say "random/hidden expo lulz"

The second cool stopped the drop cold with the 3 roaches ITR literally dint know what to do for a good 5 seconds just flying his medvac back and forth until the viking arrived. He froze.

FruitDealer is doing something that any other Zergs have never done. You can't blame ITR for not handling that in a clever way.
