Gotta give rain props for a brilliant opening that game tho even if his end game/finisher was lackluster.

Completely tricked MC with the 2nd rax and reinforced the illusion by building mauraders (normal banshee play don't get mauraders) and denying scouting extremely well.

Well for all the criticisms I have of Rain's style that last game was a lot better. Still a few sloppy plays like losing the full medivac. But that was a better style vs protoss. He's going to have to ditch the tank play if he wants any chance to beat MC.

At least rain can survive MC's pressure better then Jinro. This is actually a better series then I thought it would be.

He id DEFINITELY not a noob (Whoever the idiot who said that was)

I'm the 'idiot' who said he's a noob.

And he is.

1. Excellent tech choice
UM but he didn't know what MC had. So that was flip of the coin. If MC was on a robo build, it wouldn't have worked, and Rain didn't know either way.

2.Excellent usage of the banshees
In that first main push with all his army units, the banshees were front and centre... ready for stalkers to take them down. The most expensive units, and Rain just let them die. (OH - and he A-moved that attack.. you could tell from the marauders and rines on the side attacking the geyser structure).

3. Excellent play by Rain.
Rain almost lost a game he had to definetely win from the blind build orders of both players. He ALMOST lost.

Rain is a noob.


oh god stop posting

Woah people are really hating Rain.

Worse, most people accusing him of something are much worse in that regard themselves x)

Seriously ... GomTV should provide a playlist with all those kpop songs they're playing (and the other songs as well .. they really have a lot of great music).

All the Kpop songs are just what're really popular right now/top of the charts. You could check out the Korean Music discussion in general forums or any kpop news songs and find the same songs.

We are so hard on him for the same reason we were flamming BitByBit.Prime so hard, he takes out really good Protoss or Zerg players with coin-flip builds, such as 2 proxy barracks at nat on Jungle Basin v Genius.


Im more pissed about him taking out nestea with 3 scvs/marine allins... MC vs Nstea would have be way more epic finals.


way more epic? Doubt it. As much as I love MC, his PVZ is no way as good as his PVT. He got 2-0 by nestea last gsl....

He cheesed his way to the finals, and it's showing that the guy is incapable of lasting without doing sneaky tactics.

He did fine playing standard games vs Hongun


Thats not exactly hard. With the exception of the Metal game HongUn has almost never displayed particularly amazing long-game ability.


So if every player in the world except MC plays bad, why blame Rain?

Everyone says MC is jesus basically, so shouldn't him beating people hard not mean anything if it is expected?

I think Rain might take another game, but MC isn't going to fall for Rain's tricks 4 times in the series, and apparently Rain just NEEDS the mindtricks to work in order to win, as with proper info, MC just knows how to play every strat.

What surprises me the most is his patience, MC just keeps his cool even in ridiculous situations, i guess he's just too confident, hopefully not excessively so.

Well Rain did take a game off MC. So therefore Rain > Jinro, right?

Anyway so far these games have been great from both players. I hope my 4-2 Rain prediction still stands...haha :x
