Marauder was a good call, since stalkers were definitely coming, his defense crumbled solely and ONLY because of lousy bunker placement, leaving his flank open to stalker harass. As seen, even one stalker sealed the deal, because marauder cant kill stalker with zealots chasing him. Centered bunker would have effectively defended, even better if walled by rax

Ye. Jinro lost on steppes to just a few zealots running in from a single proxy gate if I recall correctly. People here are just insanely biased against Rain for some reason, despite him beating Hongun, NexGenius and Nestea and now putting up a decent fight against the best PvT'er in the business.


But he is obviously still a total n00b :/


I don`t understand the logic either. Jinro good? but Rain bad? Rain atleast puts up more of a fight and not get 4-0`d in 30 minutes.

Despite what Artosis thinks, the only possible way Rain could have stopped that was by sending SCVs to take out the initial pylon right as he scouted it, and then building the bunker so it was in range of the gateway.


The placement of the pylon reduces the surface area for the attacking scvs. The units will just run by the bunker and own the scvs if the bunker was placed in range of the gateway. Placing the bunker in a position that covered all mineral patches would have been alot better I think.

So, uh, that makes MC bad as well, by default? I mean, he's the one that did the strat that could have been beaten by the low level diamond player you are talking about?

just kill the pylon with ~3 scvs after it has finished. you don't have to pull all scvs :S

as P is sacking a lot of econ it won't hurt you there anyway.

By the time the Stalker came out the game was already over, he was down to 5 SCV vs 16 probes. Better bunker placement and more marines was what he needed.

Barracks behind the mineral line and bunker as centered as possible is really the only thing you can do there. Still a disproportionally hard to deal with.

That's so sad. I would have never ever wanted to hurt myself reading TL's comments like 6 months ago, even though sometimes comments on live reports were so bad.
But today, with all those non-players pros that think they figured the game out who are really getting on my nerves, I'll probably have to stop reading those kind of threads just in order to preserve my sanity.
