he did that against jinro. one proxy gate and then tech at home. and that is indeed genius. contrary to pull tons of scvs and just muling your way to victory

Why do people hate "rain cheese" and not "MC cheese": MC has yet to use same cheese strat to win 3 games in same series.

But yeah...I do not hate Rain, it's just that MC is so likable in my eyes! But Rain IS a good player, he showed that in game 2 and 3.

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. Then toss really can't enter the mineral line, I did this before.


No, that doesn't work. If you did that, all he has to do is stop making probes at his base and turn it into a 2 gate. You cancel, throw down 2 gates, and you can't stop it unless you pull 10-12 SCVs. If you do that, you just cancel and throw down 2 more gates nonstop.

god im sick of people who watch the game more than they play it, its acutally an extremely strong proxy on steppes of war because the zealots dont care about early marines. they can just target scvs and delay/stop mining while gaining the advantage. almost all of you non-players talking down about rain would have lost to it as well

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)

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.



cant say that. there is tons of amazing stuff out there in pretty much all genres. just most of it isnt what you see on tv.

Not in my opinion. Music reached it's peak almost 300 years ago and it's been going downhill ever since.


Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones...

Now, let's keep this thread about the match huh?

I like how you compared two of the most overrated bands of all time to the baroque era.


i like how you called 2 of the most influencial and important bands in history overrated

Can there be a rule in these threads for people not to talk shit unless they're actually any good themselves (aka other tournament players?) Okay, Rain is not as good as MC. Calling him a noob when you're probably some mid diamond trash is just pure hubris.

Rain was horrible.

Goddamn HORRIBLE.


Now..where are all those noobs who thought he was great again?


MC microed to kill the mules as well. Very smart.




I'm just wondering, when a terran cheeses and wins he is terrible, when a protoss does it, he is brilliant and the opponent is horrible?

I dont get all this bias.


The difference is Rain style cheese is hardly an all in (THX MULES) and can't reasonably be stopped in TvZ. Proxygate is damn risky and could have easily been stopped had Rain, say, not gone gas or not lost his marines before the stalker got out

EDIT :

Appeal to accomplishment. Just because I'm not as good as rain doesn't mean I can't critique his subpar play in the finals of what is supposed to be the most prestigious sc2 tournament in the world.

NO!!!

NEVER SAY THAT!!!!

you may call me a know-nothing-noob for saying this but its an issue of maps not balance.

Dont even bother. The trolling that goes on here is a whole different level from the sensible BW threads, is wat I've realised!

as much as i disagree with all these people saying rain is newb, rain is not newb he is obviously pro. That was a stupid move to build gas +tech lab, should have got another racks up.


i don't understand this contradiction.
