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.


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.


Cos of 20 minute breaks.. :D
That and MC playing terrible openings and still coming out decent

Hurray for someone else still laughing at game 2!

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


What you suggest might work, but it's still very difficult when Protoss is producing Zealots at the same rate that you are producing marines, I don't know if you're actually playing the game or just watch a lot and blindly accept everything that Tasteless and Artosis say as the undeniable truth.

I for one have faced proxy gate cheese on SoW multiple times in ladder, though maybe not this particular one that MC was doing, and each and everytime I defended it comfortably by sending 3-4 SCVs to kill of the pylon. Believe me or not, it does work.


He builds another pylon?


Which obviously is free and finishes instantly.

iEchoic is right. That is the best counter economically.

ITS HILARIOUS READING EVERYONE IN THIS THREAD posting the wrong ways to beat that rush on SoW


1) pulling scv's to attack pylons or gateways is auto loss. you attack that pylon and the moment you start hitting it the protoss builds a second pylon, if you attack gateway toss builds second gateway... scv does low damage, constructing builds gain health so fast the terran has to pull too many scv's losing too much economy. pulling scv's is never a good idea.


2) the way you counter this build is to immediately build 2 barracks around your mineral line once you scout proxy pylon by your base then create a wall with cc/barracks/depots so zealots gotta go around to enter mineral line. build a bunker right inside your mineral line. keep pumping scv's marines and you will beat the stalker with marines because the toss will have a worse economy due to the 8pylon fastgate probe cutting



3) the first zealot that comes into your mineral line you should be able to easily attack it with scv's when it runs in and micro back the single hurt scv. by the time 2-3 zealots are out you should have 2-3 marines and a bunker. keep pumping marines/scvs

Cheese will always be apart of SC2. Just because MC cheeses one game, doesnt mean hes a cheating cheesing scrub.

Look at it this way. Your so close to 80,000 dollars. Your opponent has an oppritunity to come back 2-2. You cheese and make it 3-1 adding the elimination pressure to your opponent, thus increasing your chances of taking the next game.

Very smart time to cheese by MC.


Smart map to cheese on too.
Doesn't make me hate the cheese less.

Wouldn't that be a Maynard gate

You mean manner gate lol.....


NOPE, Maynard Gate. If you don't get the reference, don't bother. Its not worth your time to look it up. But it is definitely a Maynard gate.

Yes I get why you it's Maynard because of maynarding wokera but manner makes more sense IMO.
