I know, its great.

MC cheeses just as much as rain. . . .

I wouldnt be suprised at all if MC went for some sort of 1 base on SoW


Because he beat someone with superior skill to his with a pathetic style of cheese which requires less skill then pretty much every all in.

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

the thing is, Rain did it because he scouted MC's 4gate. It's not like he was going into his banshee play completely blind; he knew MC wouldn't have detection for a while. Rain took down some damn good players to get here, Hongun, Genius, etc., don't forget that. He didn't even play BW, he'll just get better from here. I like MC but Rain is impressing me as well. Doesn't deserve all the hate he gets for cheese; all-ins/early agression have a place in the game as well, no matter what Artosis/IdrA say.


...that wasn't a 4gate.

sorry...wasn't paying that close attention to build 2gate fast expand or whatever. The point is that MC had no robo/detection.


MC's 2nd/3rd gate didn't go down until Rain was blind (and he had long since committed to the trickery). If he thought it was a 1gate FE, banshees are still a bad play because a properly executed 1gate FE has an observer out in time regardless.

It was a great switch and it was executed far better than most tricky switches are, but it was coin-flippy.

Rain is a noob.


Dumb post, you don't get into GSL finals being a noob.


Yes you do. Rain did.

I forsee 4-1.


Rain is a noob? Rain took a game off MC. What does that make Jinro?


So much hate.

Via Mind Games. Why are you bringing Jinro into this debate anyway? The Finals is about Rain and MC.

I'm sorry but how can anyone defend rain? He's good yes, but good enough to be in the final skillwise?

Like.. was I the only one who saw the second game where he managed to lose 20 SCV's at his gold expo to one single DT and 21 SCV's to a HT at his nat just because he lacks the micro to pull em back, those 2 units were pretty much ignored and could reign free killing his stuff.

How do you even defend that.

So much hate.

Agreed. By this logic, everyone other than MC is terrible because they got beat by Rain/someone beat them who then got beaten by Rain. No way you could say the people MC beat to get here were terrible, he had to have played well to get where he is.
