No one said he was great.

They said you were an idiot.

That continues to be the truth.

V. bad game by Rain.


hahahahahahaha truth be told!
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

Herp derp bias, herp derp all in, herp derp false equivalency.

More bitching about games. This really speaks very well for the SC2 fanbase, that people are excited about a win not because they're happy someone won but rather because they get to spite someone they don't know online.

Anyone think that would've gone differently if Rain could have built a Rax first?
He probably would have been fine if he kept pumping out marines for a while instead of getting gas.

that cheese is very difficult to hold off, especially since the depot before rax and reaper build time nerfs. before, you could counter with 9 rax 9 gas reaper if you scouted in base proxy. now, i think the only viable response is 1 rax constant rine + bunker to another rax, skipping orbital. then you have to kill the proxy gates before stalkers come out.

edit: see the way intotherainbow held this off in season 1, i think

Killing the pylon is a horrible suggestion. 4 SCVs kill the gate before it can go up though so that's what Rain should have done, but he probably would have been behind anyway.

It's great that Terran can't go Rax first anymore on this map because Silver team players lost to proxy reapers T_T

Yeah I am sure Rain could magically pull gas from his ass and get reapers and mauraders for stalker follow-up....

He had to get Marauder at that point. He didn`t respond well initially but at that point reapers was not an option.

Wow, will you please stop ruining the good name of one of my favorite fictional characters andrewwiggin?

After scouting the pylon, Rain had to build a depot before he could even start a rax. Please tell me what he should have put his minerals into during this time? He started the refinery after the rax started but before it finished. I will admit that the bunker placement was terrible, but you're just being ridiculous spewing your vitriol.

he saw the proxy, didnt attack the pylon with scv and dont build a fucking bunker next to the gate and let scv on gas plz explain to me


The commentators explained to you well enough. He needed reapers to counter that.


You don't. 5 scv's on the gateway and it dies before the zealot comes out. You will lose some mining time but toss has much fewer probes in his base. Another option is to wall in your mineral line, which is possible on steppes. 2 raxes on the flank + 1 depot and a bunker to close down the minerals.


...he can just warp in another gateway.


Exactly...those 5 scv not mining is alot more than 150 minerals.


Terran has at least 8 scv's more. If he pops another gateway then put 3 on the second. When the first gateway dies, you put those 5 on the last gateway. You will not get behind, I'm 100% sure.

Or he could have just 2 raxed...


what would that do? do you know how bad marines are against lots? He attacked way too early, it's a proxy gateway, not one at his base, reinforcements come way too quickly.


wut? bunkers?

The difference is that MC actually execute the cheese well, has alot better micro and does a better job defending vs cheese.
I really hate cheese but i hate it even more if it's done bad.

He should at least put the bunker on the other side of the CC. Then he could retreat back to it instead of having to worry of getting sandwiched between the zelots on the far side and the reinforcements.

Tasteless and artosis just explained how you can use SCV to kill pylon.

one of you noobs who bash on rain tell me how to stop that rush? please


Are you kidding me? Just make a rax and a bunker that can cover as much of the mineral line as possible. GG.

I think an interesting way to defend that rush would be to make buidlings around the gateway so no units can come out.

That game was one of the many reasons why Steppes of War should be taken out of the map pool.

surely even just a better placed bunker would have helped so so much

Rain's nerves getting to him?

why are people so hard on rain?

relax people, seriously


This. He's in the finals of the biggest Starcraft 2 tournament in the world. And he's playing against the best protoss in the world. Or at least in the top 2

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.


A post with which i couldn`t disagree more. IF e-sport is a true sport (and i belive it is) there HAS to be upsets, underdogs, "unfair" winnings and so...

The most boring will be easy predictions.

Why football (soccer for our American friends) is most popular sport? One of the key factor is that is most unpredictable sport!

Of course we need some "Federer vs Nadal" games in Sc2. But sport is full of surprises and should stay that way.

So i think he is absolutely not killing sport!
UF fight!
