Those who think that Rain was decent in that game don't understand how bad that strategy was from MC. A robo, a stargate, a council, and a dark shrine before the first expo in up... sheesh.

MC is toying with him.

It is funny because it isn't the macro that lost Rain that game, it was the micro. MC won battles he shouldn't have.

Also, the Terran Empire for some thor strike cannons, man. No forcefields and one shotting all that is robo. Is there some major downside to that strategy that only shows up at higher levels? Why haven't I seen any pros use this?
And isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway? I mean, all you get is one trick: rational thinking; but, when you're good and crazy, ooohoohoohoohoooo, the sky is the limit!

Are you serious?

Based on his play in the last two games... no.


He tried to contain MC on a map where containment.. means..NOTHING. WUT.

That's fail overall strategy.



And in that last game, did you see his siege push in the mid of the map? With the rines? He had medivacs, he could have lifted them to higher ground on that middle-map ledge... but instead, he tried to run and let immortals rape him.


Oh. And he was outexpanded... during his OWN containment (2nd game).

Rain is playing horribly. It's like terran players are afraid of MC... and play like crap and that feeds back into their own fears.

It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. =(


Its stupid, because I've wanted protoss to win a GSL for so long. But... I didn't expect it'd be such an easy walk to the trophy...



Why would he take a hidden 2nd if contain means nothing?
I agree that Rain is unrefined.

Game 3 is here @ Xelnaga. I am rooting for JMC but I want Rain to take this game, allin, cheese if he has to. That would make the final way more interesting

How are you even allowed to post that garbage? MC is easily the best Protoss in the world and his strategy by flanking, harrassing and staging a masterfull comeback against a Terran on Lost Temple was nothing but amazing.


Because while his midgame strategy was amazing, his opening was complete trash

feedback does max 10 damage to banshees if the terran is smart and is constantly draining his banshee energy

banshees are the perfect counter to everything MC, just have some thors and marines for anti air / anti pheonix

Look. Constant harrasment can easily mess up your decision making. MC applied a ton of pressure and Rain couldn't handle. But he was not terrible, it was pretty close.

Read this.
Unless you're at their level of play, you understand fucking nothing.

Any terran who CAN'T punish this sort of all-in and all-in TECH play from a protoss....


... I mean. ALL TECH paths. Really? =/


MC couldn't even afford to PRODUCE from all those gateways at every warp-gate cycle...

There were mistakes but the game was entertaining and undecided.

I do think Rain has not of MC's caliber, because he seems unconfortable with late game. But he is definetely good. I honestly thinks that given another bracket, Rain should have gone at least Ro8.
