EPTKind of surprised Rainbow got 2-0'd by Rain, but then again MMA also got 2-0'd by HuK. Better luck next time I guess.

The people who said that were just jumping on the Tastosis Bandwagon San was never as bad as people made him out to be, even before he 'beasted' it up he was undefeated in PvT series, and his PvZ was untested. Almost all of his losses were from embarassing PvPs (which he is still really bad at), and he had that one cannon blocking incident which anypro did the same thing. Afterall, it is just one mistake that cost him a game, and everyone makes mistakes sometimes. San got sooooooooooo much more credit than he deserved because, his route to Ro4 was so incredibly soft it wasn't even funny, the only good players he faced admitted to heavily underestimating him which they atribute for their losses (sC and NesTea). And guess what? Now he's out of Code S. tl;dr San was never as bad as people for some reason thought he was, and he's no where near as good as people think he is now. The most overrated and underrated player in the GSL | ||

Will we ever get rid of Rain one day ?  I can't believe this guy is still in code S for another season while other very good players have to struggle in code A. This up and down system is pretty cruel. Screw up a few games because of pressure/cheese and goodbye :/ | ||

Screw up a few games because of pressure/cheese and goodbye :/ Screw up in the preliminaries and you're gone Screw up in earlier rounds and you're gone Screw up in the semifinal and you're gone this works for any tournament.... Just look at it this way, Code A and S are one tournament, the Code S players are automaticaly seeded into the Ro32 and Code A is Ro64. If you don't win you don't move on in the tournament, why would this be any different. Sure it may seems sad when a person gets knocked out of Code A... but it's the exact same as someone getting knocked out of a tournament (GSL Opens for example) in the first round.. you have to requalify. | ||

He seems like such a nice guy and he was so happy when he won his first match last season - it was pretty touching. Hope he does well in code A! | ||

Yeah, it was amazing. Rain played legitimate games against Rainbow and MVP. He didn't even look that bad doing it. | ||

i like the guy he was finalist in season 1 and semifinalist season 2, and now he's just faded into oblivion. it makes me so sad that he lost to rain. the same loser that handed over a victory to Inca, despite having decimated inca's entire army, most of inca's base, and having a A VASTLY LARGER ARMY AND MULTIPLE SCANS SAVED UP, to a force of one stalker and one dt. sigh. | ||
