Rain absolutely did not in any way all-in on Xel'naga. Not in the least.

Actually I'm pretty happy with that interview. Letting us know he wanted to do more macro play but had to rely on all-ins because of personal issues is really cool of Rain.


Doesn't even hold a candlelight to Nestea.

If you watched SOTG tonight, Artosis' described the situation perfectly. All-ins can definitely be held as proven by FruitDealer, but for some reason everyone rather whine and complain instead of working hard to fend it off. It's a precarious situation for sure, but that kind of breed of players are hard to come by.

I feel a bit spoiled by Jinro's macro style. But if early pressure from terrans can consistently win against zerg, I can't fault them for playing that way. Steppes is a terrible map though.

Can't have fun watching series like that :[ But terrans do need answers to greedy FEs. I think maybe the success is too high, or the risk/reward is skewed. Lets give Blizzard some time to look at the matchup properly though.

LMFAO Artosis, great line.

Also, game 3 was hardly all in, Rain was building his 3rd CC.

Can someone quote Ret again? Those saying hatch first is dumb are either currently uneducated (not meant to be offensive) or just dont understand the game (meant to be offensive. )

people who keep talking about 'hatch first' really don't have a clue.. 2 rax constant marines dominates pool first so bad because there's only so few larve off 1 hatch untill after the first queen inject...the marines can just push you back non stop till that first inject finishes and you are in danger of being bunker blocked

not to mention you have to blindly make ~20 lings in that case so if terran just stops after 5 mariens and puts down a CC you are economically fucked

nestea fucked up his drone/ling control pretty bad there but hatch first is the only choice really...hency why steppes is auto loss vs terran, im sure nestea expected to lose set 2


thar you go

This set of games just made my day. So fun to see that the clearly "worse" player won because of all-ins.

My hat off to Rain. Nestea looked sooo much better but Rain just used every bit of thing and turned it around. WOW

Blizzard can't be happy with a win like this and i really hope this will at least make them have a meeting about the marine-scv-allins.

Now, give terran some option to do something else vs zerg and put an end to these all ins. They should just be used once in a while but like now it is a viable strategy =(

Oh my god Rain just broke the rules. :/ You can't just play to win like that with money on the line. :/ You must listen to fanboys for strats. :/

That's not the point, it's a spectator sport. If all spectators get to see is these bullshit allins, nobody's gonna watch.


It's not his fault. As Aristotle said; "Hate the player, not the game". It's on Blizzard to fix this matchup, ideally by buffing T lategame so this isn't necessary and making defending easier early on (maybe buffing spines?). But this isn't a balance thread, so it'll suffice to say nobody should be hating on Rain. All competitive players do whatever it takes to win.

TvZ is so dumb. Terran is overwhelmingly favored first 10 min and zerg overwhelmingly favored the rest.


Maybe that would be less true if fewer Terran players spent the first 10 minutes building marines. If you go with a strategy that's all about the early win, and you fail, should you really be able to seamlessly transition into winning the late game?
The existence of a food chain is inescapable if we evolved unsupervised, and inexcusable otherwise.
