Have you ever watched King of the Hill? Hank has that problem with words starting with 'W.'


nopes. just explain the pronunciations a little better, i guess.

Grrr I think it's something you have to experience before you can understand it. I can't explain it much in words lol.

God, I hope Rain falls out of Code S if all his fans are like this and can't recognize when one player is clearly better than another.

Yeah, we're waiting on the outcome of the series to see who is better, or do you just want to give MC the trophy right now?

Excellent tech choice.
Excellent usage of the banshees
Excellent play by Rain.

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

And stop calling everything cheese when its just a brilliant tech choice to counter your opponents build


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.


I don't think rain is playing well, but people still got to think that rain is actually making some of those decisions, they aren't mistakes.

1. port banshee+cloak works best if unscouted, but it is still pretty damn strong until HTs are out, so it's a flip coin maybe, but aren't all build orders. If anything trying to bait your opponent to do something that your build works well against... he should get some extra credit for that...

2. He did that on purpose. He had the banshees just in range of the pdd and I guess he felt it was more prudent to kill whatever they were attacking, esp since it doesn't really matter if pdd energy gets wasted while stalkers shoot the banshee or the mm

3. He never really lost the game. If anything all the people that hate rain strongly should appreciate that he didn't go all-in with the advantage he had, but rather built ontop of it. While I think he should've gone for the probes, he was far more ahead than supply indicated and that push by MC was just a death rattle, trying to get rain to make a very big mistake and bring MC back into the game.

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.


its catchy and fun.

unlike tons of western popmusic which is 99% downright crap(POPOPOPPOPOKERFACE)

also dont be so serious about it.


also sometimes "bad" and simple stuff can be very good.look at vybz kartel in the dancehall scene. mostly super simple and dumb music but sooooo freakin catchy cause the guy has some magic.


Pokerface rules.

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.


Well, I guess its safe to say that people who lost to him don't deserve to be in the final either.

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.


What else do you call going cloaked banshees when you have no idea whether or not he actually took the bait? If MC had ignored the 2nd barracks or gotten a robo anyway then Rain was fucked.



Game sense. What are you talking about? Otherwise everything that anyone does is just luck. If you scout 2 port banshee and respond with stalkers and win, then you're just lucky cause he could've just expanded and gone MMM.

Wat.
If wishes were horses we'd be eating steak right now.

feels not quite like a final with them being so nervous.

i'd like them to be more levelheaded, no more nervous panic attacks or blind teching into several directions, so far the ZvT clashes of GSL1/2 felt more epic :x

Trying to watch this series live is absolutely painful because they waste SO MUCH TIME between games. GomTV needs to completely redo how they handle the finals... random RO64 games are more fun to watch than this.

His other points had merit. This one might not.
