Oh god, the fail. Its overpowering in your post.
He fucking tricked MC so good, killed 7 sentries, 10 probes, and his followup wasn't bad at all. That was not a coin flip.


Seriously, if people are raging that he went into the finals by cheesing every game (yeah right)
then what does that say about his opponents?

Bias is bias. Its stupid.

Because even if he's in the finals he doesn't deserve it.

"Yeah but he won lol" because he did boring as tactics and as IdrA said :
"Even if it wins the game and is a valid tactic for some absurd reason, it's still boring and wothless from a perspective/fan viewpoint and that is detremental to the sport aswell."

Meaning, he kills the sport, you nor anyone here can denay that Rain in the finals has made alot of people and viewers upset and less inclined to enjoy it. Sadly, our nerd rage upset equals less sponsor money equal less awesome e-sport events. Alot of people are just idiot ragers, I'm just sad Rain kills the sport and he knows it... apologising for it as he goes. Smart to win, but soulless.

Rains micro and multitasking is not at all on the same level as other players who have made it far into the GSL. It's obvious to me that he made it here with a great deal of luck and strategic play.

I also feel that Terran is favored in tournaments where cheese or "strategical" play is more frequent. They may not have an advantage in regular games but I feel that Terran tends to come out on top more often than not when not-so-standard BOs are pitted against each other. Their all-ins are more effective and so are their tech rushes.

yes, the Clide v LeenockfOu series was epic (watched it live when Artosis and Tasteless were losing their minds during th 45 min games) and yes Clide played so very well late game it was sick. However sSKS is top 3 P and Fruitdealer top 2 Zerg + GSL S1 champion so....

Clide has gotta start doing something else besides lose in Ro64 or Ro32 as while I'm impressed with his play tournament finishes are the most important factor to how good you are.

Did they just rip off a 5 second short?

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.

Its really really baffling how people can actually like this music. Its borderline formless. The form that is there is entry level compositional technique, and there is barely any clever rhyme or modulation. Its like a massive drone of amateur harmony and melody with predictable cliche changes and high/low points. Stuff like this really proves that if you just make something sound artificially busy that people will be into it. Just like how burger king commercials never let the camera stay still etc.
