... But anyone else REALLY scared for him to face MC? He looked crazy good last night, especially that third game with 4-gate (iirc) into high templar, blink stalkers, and eventually collosus? I think that was my fave game of both series, but man I'd be scared if I was Jinro. Especially after how close the series vs. Choya was, MC looks so much better than Choya. | ||

It looks like a player in control of the situation and has read the flow of the game to a deeper degree. All-ins on the other hand look like they are acts of desperations or luck or lack of basic scouting and that sort of play looks less solid. You mean like game 5 where Rain was working on his third behind all that aggression?

Or it might be because MC has shown he is a lategame macro champion while Rain runs out of steam fairly quickly and starts falling apart at the midgame. Or it could be because MC's early strats are a bit more creative while Rain employs the same SCV all-in 3 times in one match. Or.. nah, it's fanboyism. Proxy gate and void ray rush are creative? And sure, Protoss may be rare and Terran pressure may be common, but that is not a good reason to hate all over Rain.

So, im sorry but you clearly can't tell the difference between skill and abuse. This is exactly what I mean. Proxy warpgate, void ray rush, proxy pylons warping units across gaps, these are skill whereas marine rushes with lots of micro are abuse.

Ah, I did not consider the oGs factor as far as this site is concerned. Though, I wonder if MC will be issuing any apologies in Korea. | ||

Yep, all those reasons probably contributed to why people are more appreciative of MC's quarterfinals play compared to Rain's. I probably should've left it at "whatever reason" or actually provided possible reasons like you did, because I wasn't trying to imply (see the "also") that only fandom created this difference in appreciation. I just wanted to point out that MC is as much representative of the home team here as Jinro is, but in retrospect that's a silly thought that really isn't as helpful as dissecting the issue straight-up. | ||

TvP FINALS!!! (ok this is not what i'm hyped about though) OMG JINRO WON AGAIN YES!!! GO JINRO GOGO Edit: Oh wait, it's a TvP and a TvP. Well I guess, TWO PvT SEMIFINALS YAY, and may be another PvT in the finals :D refreshing to see this ZvT is boring to see with all the same 14 hatch and 2 rax pressure in so many games. | ||

Well, seeing as how those are 2 different cheese/all-in strategies, while Rain thus far has employed only 1 cheese/all-in strategy, yes, I'd say MC's a bit more creative than Rain. And that's probably why I didn't state those as reasons to hate Rain, but rather as reasons to defend MC but not Rain, thus deflating your silly accusations of fanboy bias. | ||
