I know, right? I like Rain. He cheesed in one series or something and suddenly he's the villain. Seems pretty cool to me, people are overly critical because of their own bias.


I completely agree with this, If it wasn't for the long breaks in between games I would completely avoid this thread due to the gross bias and exaggeration that is posted

He lost the moment the Banshees killed the sentries and 10 probes.
Seriously, stop hating.

Nestea/Zerg fanboys.

But seriously, after those first 2 games, it is difficult to not be hard on Rain. He has just made so many mistakes.



Could be Nerves. It is the Finals. game 3 should give me some confidence. Saying that, I don't think this is the year a Terran wins.
I have a dream, that some day I wouldn't see any imba comments in GSL threads.

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.


He's in the finals. He played some really hard players. He won. He didn't cheese an excessive amount imo. Really think people need to give the guy a break.

Rain fighting.

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.

your forgetting the part where he tricked MC

Rain might be a noob, but he's only down 2-1 in the finals of the biggest SC2 tourney there is, so he's gotta be doing something right

AndrewWiggin please stop posting, all your posts are angry and it's not neccessary. I find it rather questionable that Rain could be described as 'noob' by any standards. Relax please?

But he didn't. He won. All the people hating on rain should be cheering for MC instead, its like those old burger king commercials that hated on mcdonalds; not funny, not cool, just seems desperate. With that said.

I was impressed by MCs defense despite the massive deficit as shown by the resources lost tab. Grats to Rain for pulling a win against the monster that is MC.
If we fear what we do not understand, then why is ignorance bliss?
