MVP entrenching on the left alley, Rain spots it due to sensor towers and moves in place. Loses his vespene geyser on the gold but no major damage done.

Rain counters to MVP's push via the right to the gold. MVP sacrifices some SCVs to fend it off and kills the tanks, meanwhile a marine drop at the natural of Rain kills quite some SCVs as well.

Rain now pushing down the right alley,shells the planetary fortress. MVP pushes in and cleans up all of Rain's marines.

MVP's force on the left side punishes and Rain loses all his SCVs at the gold to defend it. Rain GGs.

Rain played quite well actually, but not enough to take out MVP.

MVP is just too solid. Didn't think Rain even looked like winning at any point.

I don't get why Doa only started calling MVP the best player in SC2 after he lost to Bomber.


I'm sure he's referred to him that way before at least once? Not that I particularly object to it.

==

Rain going for a straight up 1 1 1 push.

MVP has as many combat units + expo up, Rain ahead on workers and expanding behind it.

Rain thins out a few tanks but loses an assortment of units

===

MVP passed him in supply, not sure I fancy Rain's chances from here on out


Both players macro up a bit, jostle for position etc etc.

Rain attempts to push into MVP's nat via the area at the third, MVP is half the map away but by the time Rain takes down the rocks MVP has got back and is in position. Rain loses a lot of troops, and tries to withdraw but MVP pinmccers him to clean up.

Rain looking in a bit of trouble, but he's getting his third up faster at the gold.

MVP with a drop in Rain's base, marines + tank and they take out a starport and do a good chunk of damage, Rain eventually cleans him up.

Rain holding firm at his gold, supplies are actually fairly evening

Rain trying to counter push at MVP's gold, MVP actually pulls scv's off the line to deal with it.

Big counter drop at Rain's natural doing a lot of damage to scv's, Rain cleans it up pretty quickly though. He's doing a tremendous job of covering MVP's moves around the centre of the map and actually has a small supply lead plus a small upgrade advantage


Rain with a huge play, flanks around the centre of the watchtower and does a lot of damage outside MVP's gold.

Rain gets perhaps a bit too greedy, he commits really heavily at MVPs third and despite the upgrade advantage he doesn't quite have enough to win out there.

MVP instantly pushes at Rain's gold and fourth in retaliation, and as MVP's marines take out the fourth, Rain is forced to pull scv's at his gold to try break the tank line.

It's futile though and Rain GG's out.

MVP as usual solid in the face of adversity, good effort from Rain though.

I really dont get why people say TvT is the most exiting matchup ... Its tanks and marines / medivacs. Theres allmost never any difference or advanced tactics after a marine / tank tactic.
Atleast PvP can go into DT / blink / massgate / colo / air , while zerg macrogames have roach, hydra, ling, blord, corrupters, muta... its never the same...

I agree drops make TvT exciting , but thats only because TvT drops are pretty effecient...

Rain has always been underestimated by a lot of ppl on TL. That he all-ins a lot doesn't mean he can't play macro games.

The observer didn't catch it, but Rain let the orbital at his natural burn down. That might have cost him the game.

Rain set his marine ball into MVPs marine arc, 1/2 his marines were not attacking for quiet a long time. Upgrades didn't matter, concave winz
