He really never was that bad tbh. I never got why people always gave him so much shit for bunker rushing Nestea back then when MC won that whole season with 4gate/3gate ray/proxy gates.

whats your point about MC? you mean he won GSL by playing protoss?


Lol, MC winning with 4gate/3gate void/proxy fates in Season 3 is probably one of the most laughably wrong things I've heard in a while.

You guys seem to forget that Rain's TvT has always been pretty solid. I can't remember who he went up against, but he's done fairly well in this matchup in the past.

Game 2 on Crevasse:

(T)Rain spawning @ 7
(T)MVP spawning @ 1

Rain opening with gas first, typical indicator of banshees.

MVP opens with a 15cc, favouring his desires for strong early eco.


MVP's 2 orbitals are on the way, following up with rax into fact.

Rain is going for banshees and expanding behind that, MVP gets a SCV into Rain's base but only sees a hellion and the 1 gas since Rain took his early etc.

Banshee on the way, MVP scans EVERYTHING.

Some very solid Banshee micro from Rain and he gets 10kills before a viking finally pops to take care of it.

MVP building banshees of his own, and trying to take a third.

Rain setting up for a drop in MVP's nat


Rain's drop does a good bit of damage, he's keeping MVP in check constantly so far and is up about 12 supply.

Cloak is done for MVP, Rain saw the banshee though so has turrets on the way up as well as vikings that snipe out the banshee just as it arrives.

Rain with a slight tank lead and it looks like he'll have siege mode done first, a good scan snipes out another banshee.

MVP spreading himself well defensively, covering for drops and harass. Rain tries to siege the natural a bit, but MVP's doing a great job of nullifying damage.

This gives MVP the chance to finally take his 3rd, but Rain almost has his up too now.

Slight supply advantage for MVP as we approach 15minutes.


Both players have transitioned into roughly the same, 2fact marine/tank. Both at 1-0 and working on 1-1.

Rain going for a third fact to try take the tank advantage, MVP is already looking to take his fourth.

This is the bit where it gets messy, the constant manouvering for position in the centre of Crevasse is really ramping up, Rain looks to push into MVP's third but MVP has him covered, and in return gets the siege first vs Rain as they move back to the centre.

Rain backs out quickly and manages to snipe out a couple of tanks, he's also looking to take his fourth now.

MVP dropping at Rain's third, does a bit of damage but gets cleaned up.

We're about to hit 20 minutes, and Rain just pulled off a very cute drop onto some lonely tanks to even things up a little.

i love how on TL you are either MVP/MC or you are a terribad. There is no such thing as "good", there is only gosu and bad.

I'm sorry, but the casting for these games is just atrocious. Almost every call they make is incorrect. Losing your entire army isn't a slight loss, it's a huge loss. Similarly, being down one one base doesn't mean you have an even economy to your opponent in a mirror matchup.

Come on Doa/Moletrap...
