I will be lol'ing at the future Recap. Rain will get a C+ for going out 4 - 1 against MC with at least two good long games, when Jinro got a B for rolling over and dying. At least, Rain put up a fight. As a side note, MC's game looks a little less solid than on the semis with MarineKing, some of the B.O. were kind of strange.

This is spot on. This thread isn't even a discussion about the games.

difference: first was almost always an all-in with every SCV
this one was far away from being an all-in



Proxy gateway at 8 isnt an all-in but 2 barracks scv/marine attack is? I give up.

I realize that the term "all-in" doesnt mean that you lose if it doesnt work. It just means that you are so far behind that it's almost impossible to win.

Like proxy gate at 8, name a protoss build that is more "all-in"...
If wishes were horses we'd be eating steak right now.

I'm crap at SC2, but in BW SCVs pulled to kill in-base proxys worked like a charm.

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.


Because a 2 racks is a 1a all in. There is no micro involved really...

But thats not rain's fault. What progamer would willingly choose to use the harder strat if there's one that lets you win a good percentage of the time? People do what it takes to win, any "1a" or "easy" builds are not the players fault for using them, but on the game itself for allowing such an "easy" build. Like incontrol said on SotG, pros would do whatever it takes to win, not taking any opportunity to do so would be stupid.

There are like 3 people total saying that, and they are probably all trolling you. Most of the people were butthurt Rain fans who preemptively made posts like yours.

2 Scvs would have killed that pylon even before the Gateway completed.

MC just Toying with Rain.


Tastosis just explained it for all those noobs out there: You CANT destroy the pylon/gateway with scvs and come out ahead.


2 scvs would not put the terran behind. also, MC lost the probe so it would have been well worth the lost mining time and possibly being behind to take that pylon out rather than lose more economy to reinforcements

I was considering buying a season ticket for S4, but the last few series have convinced me otherwise.

Wth? Were you watching the 2nd game that alone was enough for me to justify watching this series. Would you rather see all toss go 2 gate robo and attack only after 2+ colossus...

Okay, here's the actual best counter to this strat:

1) As soon as it's scouted, build your rax behind your mineral line.
2) Build bunker in the direct center of your mineral line.
3) Bunker now covers all your scvs, your rax, and your CC.

Don't listen to noobs saying to attack the pylon/gates with your workers, tasteless and artosis know what they're talking about.

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


Subjectivity vs. objectivity. hmmm...

Stop saying that we love MC cheeses but not rain, this is getting annoying really fast. No-one ever said MC is a genius for his cheese, we just said rain failed pretty hard.
