so much hate. no credit for Rain mindfucking MC with his opener ? If playing an epic games & taking one another are still noobish then what is losing 0-4 in 30 mins ? Cmon thats so ridiculous

Rain's decision making & micro could definitely better though, imo it's either MC is so gosu or Rain is under so much pressure so that he's not really sharp
anyway this' still the best gsl finals out of three with two awesome games already

its catchy and fun.

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

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.

Modern music in general is crap.

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.


I explained it to him in another way but not sure if he saw it.

hmm to a certain degree ppl have to A move and then control the units........ so u tell every single units what to shoot? WAH u are good, u should try to get S class!!!!!!!!!

If MC opens with 3 gate robo every game, he will just stomp Rain. No need for this trickery.

Honestly, Rain is a good decision maker, but his mechanics are horrible. Either that or MC's micro is just making a mockery of him.

People are hating because he has poor execution but IMO his decision making makes up for it. I've said it numerous times but execution is a lot easier to learn than decision making is, I think Rain will get a lot better from here on, especially given that he's on TSL/has a lot of vets to help him out.

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.


Yikes.... posts like this show how little some people understand the game...


I'm sorry. Explain to me your better understanding of the game then.

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.

Yea, what do you call MC reacting to the second rax being built when he had no idea whether or not Rain actually finished the barracks? If Rain cancelled the barracks and went cloaked banshees, MC woulda been fucked.

Oh wait thats exactly what happened! And if MC didnt take bait and went observer, having a couple banshees with your army doesnt mean youre fucked. it means less successful harass and you have a smaller army for going cloak banshees

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.


He made it into the final = he has the skill to be in the final.


LOGIC'D.
now run into the setting sun, and suffer, but don't mess up your hair.

honestly gsl needs to learn from msl/osl for its selection of music;

on another note, what's up with people calling Rain a noob.
sure he makes mistakes, but you're calling a gsl finalist a sc noob?
would like to know how good these people calling out Rain a noob really are.

wouldn't be surprised if they were bronze. lol

it doesn't matter that Rain deserved his spot here, the reason people don't like him is because the playstyle he has been showing before these finals is not entertaining to watch.

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.


Call it what you want Cheese All-in but the pro players don't care how it's done as much as people here. Like the guys on SoTG said care more about the game and the players instead of focusing on the all-ins, cheese, and balance.

You can disagree with the methods but can not deny the results

A-move is fine when you're doing 2 drops and you can't micro both at the same time.

This was one attack.
