I love watching MVP and against some like Rain im hoping he just shows hes 10x the Terran he will ever be. MVP should be back in Code S and if the Up/Down matches go the way i want the next GSL will be sick & now Huk is still in Code S it can only get better. Go MVP!!

Hope to see MVP back in Code S!
But why does Bomber have to play up&down? I thought the Code A winner will automatically be promoted to Code S?

I don't see how MVP can be called outright best player in SC2... I don't think there is any clear one at the moment if any MC..

That doesn't neccesarily mean he isn't. Federer can still be the best tennis player in the world even if he constantly loses against Nadal on gravel. (Just an example) That said, I don't think he is but I do have a problem with so many people bringing up individual series to prove their points.

Doa trying to make a joke, Moletrap not understanding,

Doa doing a long explanation and "haven't you heard of..."

That doesn't neccesarily mean he isn't. Federer can still be the best tennis player in the world even if he constantly loses against Nadal on gravel. (Just an example)


Yeah that's so true Federer is the best tennis player but when he plays Nadal on clay Nadal just destroys him. The best players in the world can still lose. That's what people find it so hard to understand

agree, but i think understanding jokes might not be moletrap strongest side. but who cares, really? i dont think anyone would miss doa's jokes if he stopped trying to make us laugh. if i had to choose between the two, i would pick moletraps commentary over Doas jokes.

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

All set to max some 7 karaage and watch TvT for a few hours.

I've been enjoying this matchup. There's a lot of positional play still, but marines add some cool micro potential.

i hate MVP. He is soo frickin amazingly good, but at the same time kinda lame to watch because he does nothing exciting or "risky" (like MC). just super solid macro, perfect strategy and flawless mechanics. Good, but kinda lame. You can tell that he is winning from the begining as he gains a huge supply/army advantage and then he attacks when he knows he will be able to break through, so it never gets "exciting" to watch.

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

MVP sieged up outside Rain's gold.
Just earlier he did a fairly successful looking drop in Rain's main.

Rain just sent in a lot of marines @ MVP's gold, now sieging up the planetary.
MVP rushes in with heaps of Marines MVP cleans it up, and the Medivacs.

Still sieging Rain's Gold.

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 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...

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.

not necessarily true. remember the series where MVP 4-0'ed MKP. All the games were pretty one sided there.

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.

It would actually be hilarious if Rain became one of the only people to take a set off MVP TvT (MKP, MMA, Bomber, Keen). I doubt it, but it would be hilarious.

Yeah, he's the only person to beat MVP in a TvT series. That means he took a set off him, one of the only people to do so. What's the 'wat?' about?

Yeah, for some reason, when players massively screw up or just play badly on TV, people think that's how that player actually plays all the time, rather than giving any benefit of doubt. When you see Rain playing like this, this is his actual skill level, likely how good he is in practice in an unpressured environment. That's why it's always annoying as shit to see tons of people in LR threads going "hurp durp rain is terrible el oh el" when he plays badly.

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.

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'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.

the good thing about being picked for a group is that the other player is gonna be pretty weak as well so I'm sure he expected this

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.


Perfect timing for MVP as he flanks around Rain's army and barrels into the unprotected fourth.

Faced with a decision to return or basetrade, Rain opts for the latter but MVP is prepared with his scv's already off the line and a good tank spread.

MVP is clearing out the third of Rain and powering into the main, Rain does a pretty smart drop over the scv's onto the tanks but he doesn't quite have enough to clear up the tank line and all his bio dies as he GG's out.

MVP advances 2-0, suprisingly good series.

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.

Pretty much, gets old pretty fast. A lot of the GSL players get a lot more crap then they should because of 1 bad game or something, or are just remembered for a game where they cheesed to win, which almost every player has done (though not all).

Still can't understand how this kid fell to the U/D matches initially. Still think he's in a class of his own, so freakin' solid.

His TvP was pretty awful at the time and he was baneling busted by July twice to fall into the initial up/down matches. Basically, he was cheesed out initially and then had to play his weakest matchup, where he was also cheesed.

What I caught of the first game was really good and the second game was close to the same level. I was impressed with Rain. That was really tight.

Actually, no. MVP just played bad, suiciding his early groups of MM into forcefields and then eventually letting powerhouse protoss lategame takeover. Both Alicia and Genius played better than him at the time.

I honestly feel like TvP is pretty volatile compared to other terran matchups

it doesn't rely on different points of the game as much as that one big battle and whoever loses out will probably end up losing the game because then they can just rush your base afterwards

TvZ and TvT will have a lot of small moments that matter and in TvT you can turtle and make a come back by just turtling up and looking for the right moment

that's just not true.
bomber/mvp/mkp are in my oppinion the best terrans. they are very, very good.
after these guys there are players like: mma, ryung, nada, supernova, jinro and some others I consider to be good.
and compared to these guys rain is bad. thats it. my personal opinion. reason: strange all-ins that don't really work and huge mistakes that cost him the long games.

the game has to go on really long... like 30+ minutes so that you can catch up on upgrades so they don't get shredded by 3-3 marines like we saw in MVP vs. MKP in the WC

Both players opening rax into fact.

Rain getting a reactor on his rax, Rainbow taking his second gas.

Both look like they are going into banshees, Rain squeezed out a hellion.

Rain expanding first, sticking with banshees without cloak while Rainbow is getting cloak for his.

Banshee wars, Rain again manages to pick up 10 kills with a non-cloaked banshee. Rainbow's wracked up 13 though and he's got a second one doing a lot of damage.

Rain has actually had a huge amount of units killed, doesn't really have a lot to defend.

Siege mode done for Rainbow and he's now got a really good contain set up with tanks and bothersome banshees.

Rain has a Raven and extra banshee out, he's doing some good anti-tank play with his banshee and finally gets siege mode done. Forces the tanks to unsiege with his banshee and moves his tanks up to force Rainbow back.

Big engagement in the middle of the map, good spread from Rain and drops auto turrets on the tanks to soak fire! He wins spectacularly and suddenly the tables are turned, Rain is sieged up and taking out Rainbows nat while taking his own behind it!

All the SCV's off the line for Rainbow and he does just about clean up, it's actually fairly even on scv count right now and Rainbow has tried to sneak a third.

Rain falls back at about 15minutes, amusingly to his old auto turrets that are still alive and kicking in the middle of the map.

o rly? i never said he was bad or anything, just pretty boring to watch because you know nothing suprising is gonna happen. MVP is gonna get way ahead in supply and then attack when he is positive that he can break through. GG

After he dropped to Code A last season, he majorly picked up his game and played solidly in Code A then made it into Code S. Played okay in Code S, but he's probably between the Code S & Code A for skill right now.

Rainbow is probably off to the Army if he drops to Code A.

Haha, both players miss each other in the middle of the map.

Rain just walks into Rainbow's main and sieges up all the production and kills everything in there.

Rainbow counters but much like the match with MVP, the defender has the advantage. Rain is ready and just falls back to the ramp of his main and Rainbow has no real hopes of breaking it.

Rain waits for a round of reinforcements, and as his marines gut Rainbow's main, Rain also busts down his own ramp to mop up Rainbow's last ditch effort.

GG is called and Rain moves up 1-0

God.... you kill all those marines with your banshee instead of SCVs and did not push when you had your army by their base (knowing there was no siege).

It's hard to watch games of this quality when we just saw MVP play and Bomber is coming up next. Out with the old Terrans and in with the new.

Game 1: Crossfire SE

(P)RainBOw spawning in the north as the red Terran
(T)Rain spawning in the south as the blue Terran

Doa and Moletrap letting us know Rainbow got to practice with TOP last night...and didn't win a single game he played =p


Both players opening rax into fact.

Rain getting a reactor on his rax, Rainbow taking his second gas.

Both look like they are going into banshees, Rain squeezed out a hellion.

Rain expanding first, sticking with banshees without cloak while Rainbow is getting cloak for his.

Banshee wars, Rain again manages to pick up 10 kills with a non-cloaked banshee. Rainbow's wracked up 13 though and he's got a second one doing a lot of damage.

Rain has actually had a huge amount of units killed, doesn't really have a lot to defend.

Soft contain up for Rainbow

Your Rainbow TLPD is bringing in his BW stats as a Protoss - oyu should probably change it to Terran

P.S. in the editing just change the capital P to a capital T

Rainbow is probably off to the Army if he drops to Code A.


Is it Rainbow who will join the army if he plays poorly? For some reason I thought it was Check. Or both?

I thought you were talking about how "good" players are, not how entertaining they are.

I think BitByBit rated pretty damn high in entertainment list, but that does not mean he was good.

That's probably why other than TSL3, you haven't heard much from Thorzain.


No, thats because he is a "new" guy on the block. he is probably the best terran outside of korea right now (artosis and pretty much everyone agrees) you hadnt heard of naniwa before MLG either, now he is winning everything (35-0 win streak in tournament series) and is considered to be the best protoss outside korea. Anyways, this is pretty OT.


I want Rain to stay in Code S. he is actually a decent terran.

from what I've seen of thorzain his play was pretty standard

he has some uniqueu builds like mech vs. P but that's not really something completely new

I wasn't too taken in by his playstyle either, everytime he played against MC it just seemed like macro up, go kill him with better upgrades, while MVP really moves around the map and multitasks very well (not surprising considering he's from BW)

also, you can't say MVP is completely standard when he has so many different builds for every matchup, and he was basically the first one to push BCs through in competitive play and succeed, then there's also the dimaga game where he cut the map in half with planetaries and put the zerg on the backfoot in a 30+ minute game

Is it Rainbow who will join the army if he plays poorly? For some reason I thought it was Check. Or both?


When he qualified for GSL3, Check said he wanted to avoid RainBOw until he went to the army, and Tastosis often say that Check will go to the army if he doesn't do well. Check wouldn't say if it took a couple years for RainBOw to go to the army, so I'll assume that both of them will go if they don't have results.

Match 2 on Xel'Naga Caverns

(T)Rain spawning in the south @ 7
(P)RainBOw spawning in the north @ 1

Doa making spice girls jokes, Moletrap getting defensive =p

Both players opening rax gas

Both dropping tech labs on their rax, Rain after his first marine, Rainbow after his second.

Ah, both are going for a reaper expand, Rain looks like he's going to follow up with tech since he's taking his second gas. Rainbow just setting up for pure bio.

Rainbow gets a SCV surround on Rain's reaper, Rain returns the compliment as Rainbow jumps up into his base too xD

7minutes

Rainbow rallying out a lot of bio, stim is almost finished for him.

Rain with a bit of hellion micro in the middle of the map softens up a bunch of marines, he's got a cloaked banshee on the way.

If Rainbow stims up the ramp anytime soon he could do quite a good chunk of damage.

Rain's banshee running free and forcing Rainbow to pull all the way back.

Rainbow supply blocked and queued in his rax, Rain picks off the scv's building the new depots prolonging Rainbow's woes.

Rain's banshee doing huge damage, now up to 19 kills...and finally dies. A new banshee has arrived though to take its place.

Rain up 20 workers, with almost the same amount of marines, and siege 3 tanks to Rainbow's none.

Rainbow starting up drops to try get back into the game.

He gave an overall good series against MVP. What do you expect, him to beat MVP 2-0 or 2-1 in a ridiculously close series?

Lol - he's also good at winning SC2; not the best, but he is about to be Code S..

He cheesed Nestea and then made a public apology, get over it; it was ages ago. I'd cheese everybody if it got me to the finals of a GSL

Please, give us back Tasteosis

I loved Moletrap when he did SC:BW etc but Moletrap & Doa in GSL is just not nice at all. After two days of awesome tasteosisness, I can't take this.

Both dropping tech labs on their rax, Rain after his first marine, Rainbow after his second.

Ah, both are going for a reaper expand, Rain looks like he's going to follow up with tech since he's taking his second gas. Rainbow just setting up for pure bio.

Rainbow gets a SCV surround on Rain's reaper, Rain returns the compliment as Rainbow jumps up into his base too xD


7minutes

Rainbow rallying out a lot of bio, stim is almost finished for him.

Rain with a bit of hellion micro in the middle of the map softens up a bunch of marines, he's got a cloaked banshee on the way.

If Rainbow stims up the ramp anytime soon he could do quite a good chunk of damage.

Rain's banshee running free and forcing Rainbow to pull all the way back.

Rainbow supply blocked and queued in his rax, Rain picks off the scv's building the new depots prolonging Rainbow's woes.

Rain's banshee doing huge damage, now up to 19 kills...and finally dies. A new banshee has arrived though to take its place.

Rain up 20 workers, with almost the same amount of marines, and siege 3 tanks to Rainbow's none.

Rainbow starting up drops to try get back into the game.

Lol your LR is amazing and i really appreciate but i was like half reading it out loud and read that part word for word and started to giggle

He's good at cheesing the zergs. I doubt he practices much looking at how sloppy he plays.


He gave an overall good series against MVP. What do you expect, him to beat MVP 2-0 or 2-1 in a ridiculously close series?

Not everyone can be the best/top3 player in the world.


Lol, nvm my post. I thought we're talking about Rainbow >.<

Rain all over everything Rainbow tries, has marines in place to deny the drop, then snipes it out as it tries to retreat with a couple of vikings.

Rain with a giant supply advantage and has his third built, set up, and now well defended.

Rainbow trying to make something happen, but Rain is denying him from taking a good position.

Rain getting aggressive, breaking through Rainbow's bio in the middle of the map and now pushing into Rainbow's nat.

Rain sieging the main now, Rainbow dying steadily as Rain drops tanks into the main

Rainbow tries to counter with bio, but Rain even has enough bio there to take him out.

With more and more units being elevatored into his main, Rainbow GG's out.

Rain remains in Code S!

Rain wiped out half of Rainbow's SCV's with his banshees, when you have a 40 -> 20 harvester lead the army lead follows on pretty naturally later down the road...

I guess you know. Good casting = two guys doing individual, often boring, jokes, never laughing or commenting eachothers, often interrupting eachother with completely different things, doing mistakes every game on play by play, saying games and players are awesome when they are doing obviously bad plays....

Yeah, they are awesome and I need to get lessons. LOL.

With an addition of Rain, TSL now tied with oGs as the team with most players (6) in Code S. (oGs can take over with 7 if Ensnare makes it now).

He actually has fairly strong standard play. He just prefers the allin when he is facing a much better player (like July in last GSL). If he gets an easy group in Code S he can definitely make a RO16 or better again

Hey man - there are many other threads you can whine on please don't clutter up the LR thread with it :p Doa and Moletrap are awesome, but that's is just my opinion so i would never force that upon you.

The worst thing for me is the terrible analysis, sometimes they try but frankly it's nowhere near the level of artosis. Artosis is probably a high standard, but it's not even close. Also Moletrap sometimes when he yells his voice gets incredibly annoying. DOA is just kind of bland. He doesn't do anything I hate, but he seems bored, has poor analysis, and doesn't make good jokes.

In fairness though, their job is really something that has to be done out of love and I doubt they're making a ton of money off of it so we should be very appreciative of their work. It's still much better than listening to the koreans and not understanding anything.

Never though i'd say this but Rain gained a fan today, I really, really hope he stops cheesing because he can play very solidly.

ugh Rain is still in code S

I wish Rain, Hongun, and Polt would gtfo already

Polt has actually been improving a lot since the end of last season. Even won TWO SK Gaming Champions Trophy's (both times funnily enough over oGsTheStC... and the competitions also had many top players.. Supernova, Losira and a bunch of others).

TheStC btw, if you don't know is a player who a huge contender since the beta but was in the army all awhile. He'll be out in a couple of weeks and should be someone to watch out for in the next GSL. Even in the army, he actually won a bunch of FXOpen Invitationals and a bunch of other tournaments. Would be amazing to watch him when he starts playing full time agian.

HongUn has consistently been good, but has shown a lot of unpredictability in builds. Perhaps he's not a top contender anymore, but still...

Rain just impressed me today. Prior to today I shared similar sentiments to you.

He took out Fruitdealer in TSL with some really impressive play, along with MC, Tyler and Kas. After their series, MC said Thorzain is the best Terran he ever played.


And Thorzain also went 1-3 (3-7) in group stages of The Road to Korea. Thorzain is definitely a player to watch who is currently having a good run in TSL3. Please stop making him No. 1 terran in the world. That's Clide (obviously).

TSL have some pretty good practice partners for Rain so i am sure if he put his head to it, he could come up with some good results

AFAIK, he was off-racing and stuff in the road to korea because he didnt really want to win (he has no plans to go to korea in the near future)

Please, give us back Tasteosis

I loved Moletrap when he did SC:BW etc but Moletrap & Doa in GSL is just not nice at all. After two days of awesome tasteosisness, I can't take this.

You sir have no idea what good casting is all about. Please get some lessons or something. Thank you.

I guess you know. Good casting = two guys doing individual, often boring, jokes, never laughing or commenting eachothers, often interrupting eachother with completely different things, doing mistakes every game on play by play, saying games and players are awesome when they are doing obviously bad plays....

Yeah, they are awesome and I need to get lessons. LOL.


The worst thing for me is the terrible analysis, sometimes they try but frankly it's nowhere near the level of artosis. Artosis is probably a high standard, but it's not even close. Also Moletrap sometimes when he yells his voice gets incredibly annoying. DOA is just kind of bland. He doesn't do anything I hate, but he seems bored, has poor analysis, and doesn't make good jokes.

In fairness though, their job is really something that has to be done out of love and I doubt they're making a ton of money off of it so we should be very appreciative of their work. It's still much better than listening to the koreans and not understanding anything.


Glad someone went there :D

I have no issues with the guys, but they're as entertaining as a blank sheet of paper (to me, at least). I'd much rather take Kelly tbh.

Actually there was a time not too long time ago when you used to see Thorzain in about every weekly cup semis/finals. People have been aware of him for a long time on EU. Rest of the world is catching up slowly. :p

Kelly is a great caster and a wonderful person. i cannot belive how some people actually get annoyed by her voice, you have to be completley out of touch with your natural "being" to dislike the beautiful voice of a young woman. The more exotic accent, the better.

(T)Bomber vs (T)Lyn Game 1 on Crevasse

(T)Bomber spawning in the top left
(T)Lyn spawning in the top right

[Maybe it's the fact I'm a little nervous for Bomber, but he looks a little nervous to me lol >_>]

Bomber opening 1rax expo, scouts Lyn first.
Lyn opening 15CC

Bomber being a little aggressive with his first marine and scouting scv

Lyn following his CC first with multiple rax, Bomber drops 1 extra rax but then gets a bunch of gas (ends up getting reactors and pumping pure bio + upgrades)

Bomber constantly poking up Lyn's ramp with an scv + a couple of marines and sniping out marines early.

Things settling down at about 6mins in

Bomber forcing back the contain slowly but surely with air superiority.

Bomber dropping Lyn's nat but Lyn is ready for it, both players managing to take their standard third now

This is a very even game, Lyn has a slight upgrade advantage I believe though is a little behind on supply.

Bomber looking to flank with his bio having established a good siege line at his third

Lyn covers it though and defends well, Bomber immediately tries to counter up and break Lyn's tank line but Lyn has a really deep siege line and Bomber is unable to break through.

Have to critize Lyn a bit tho, he really needs to find that H key on his keyboard. Losing a lot of marines due to lack of hold position.

Actually Doa, TvT is probably the most forgiving of all matchups in SC2. So many ways to make a comeback.

(T)Bomber vs (T)Lyn Game 1 on Crevasse

(T)Bomber spawning in the top left
(T)Lyn spawning in the top right

[Maybe it's the fact I'm a little nervous for Bomber, but he looks a little nervous to me lol >_>]

Bomber opening 1rax expo, scouts Lyn first.
Lyn opening 15CC

Bomber being a little aggressive with his first marine and scouting scv

Lyn following his CC first with multiple rax, Bomber drops 1 extra rax but then gets a bunch of gas (ends up getting reactors and pumping pure bio + upgrades)

Bomber constantly poking up Lyn's ramp with an scv + a couple of marines and sniping out marines early.

Things settling down at about 6mins in


Lyn looking to put a bit of pressure on at Bomber's front, Bomber well defended though.

Bomber has started tank production and almost has siege mode done, Lyn is rather behind on his.

Lyn covering for drops, amusingly he's positioned exactly where Bomber queues his medivac to.

Bomber reacts fast and saves the drop, but Lyn flanks and manages to snipe it out as it tries to float across the middle of the map. Good result for Lyn there.

Both going for a third CC, Bomber somehow rallies a drop to Lyn's hidden expo, wtf that's insane lol.


Lyn sieging outside Bomber's main, he's got a good position on him right now.

Bomber lets Lyn's hidden expo finish, then blows it up with his marine drop.

Bomber forcing back the contain slowly but surely with air superiority.

Bomber dropping Lyn's nat but Lyn is ready for it, both players managing to take their standard third now

This is a very even game, Lyn has a slight upgrade advantage I believe though is a little behind on supply.

Bomber is slowly taking control of the middle of the map as well as getting his fourth up.

Lyn dropping into Bomber's nat! Bomber does clean it up but it gets some damage done.

Lyn pulling quite a chunk of scv's to try break Bomber's tank line and he does succeed to some extent, he tries to push into Bomber's third and Bomber has to pull his own SCV's to defend.

He mops up a lot of Lyn's troops, but both players have been losing a lot of SCV's

Bomber realises he's killed a huge amount of tanks and just pushes in for the kill, and in one decisive swoop crushes through Lyn's remaining forces outside his main!

Lyn GG's, Bomber moves up 1-0

Also impressed with Lyn there, he seems to improve every season.

Can't think of any other match up as forgiving as TvT. You don't win TvT by having one more tank and 3 more marines than your opponent. It's won by having better engagements and strategy.

Please, give us back Tasteosis

I loved Moletrap when he did SC:BW etc but Moletrap & Doa in GSL is just not nice at all. After two days of awesome tasteosisness, I can't take this.

You sir have no idea what good casting is all about. Please get some lessons or something. Thank you.

I guess you know. Good casting = two guys doing individual, often boring, jokes, never laughing or commenting eachothers, often interrupting eachother with completely different things, doing mistakes every game on play by play, saying games and players are awesome when they are doing obviously bad plays....

Yeah, they are awesome and I need to get lessons. LOL.


The worst thing for me is the terrible analysis, sometimes they try but frankly it's nowhere near the level of artosis. Artosis is probably a high standard, but it's not even close. Also Moletrap sometimes when he yells his voice gets incredibly annoying. DOA is just kind of bland. He doesn't do anything I hate, but he seems bored, has poor analysis, and doesn't make good jokes.

In fairness though, their job is really something that has to be done out of love and I doubt they're making a ton of money off of it so we should be very appreciative of their work. It's still much better than listening to the koreans and not understanding anything.


Glad someone went there :D

I have no issues with the guys, but they're as entertaining as a blank sheet of paper (to me, at least). I'd much rather take Kelly tbh.


I said this last season.. I didn't like her much, but at least we could enjoy poking fun at how she says things, like "racecar" and "bruu frame herrionz."

Kelly is a great caster and a wonderful person. i cannot belive how some people actually get annoyed by her voice, you have to be completley out of touch with your natural "being" to dislike the beautiful voice of a young woman. The more exotic accent, the better.

Sounds like a personal preference to me.

Actually, coming from you, sounds a bit like worship, or something creepy.

why do people rip on doa/moletrap when they say TvT is unforgiving but don't when tastosis says it all the time.

Problem with Bomber sometimes is that he is over aggressive sometimes. Though his macro usually makes up for it against lesser players (imo he has the best terran macro out of all the terrans, even better than Mvp).

Yea and he could have flown his maka racks up and made it part of the wall too...bomber was way better though so probably still would have lost.

Kelly is a great caster and a wonderful person. i cannot belive how some people actually get annoyed by her voice, you have to be completley out of touch with your natural "being" to dislike the beautiful voice of a young woman. The more exotic accent, the better.

Sounds like a personal preference to me.

Actually, coming from you, sounds a bit like worship, or something creepy.



are you serious? i only said i think she is quite a nice girl with a refreshing accent. how does that sound like worshop? and of course its a personal preference. but how can you not like a cute girl with a funny accent and good knowledge about starcraft 2? your post makes no sense. Why would you dislike a person like Kelly? unless you are a bitter person.

There are plenty of reasons to dislike anyone, as it's all personal. The fact that she's a girl doesn't make any difference as to how her casting should be judged. I think she's got good game knowledge, and nice humour, but I don't like her accent. That's no biggie though, I don't hate her for it. It's the same as DjWheat, I don't like his voice either (sue me).

(T)Lyn vs (T)Ensnare : Game 1 beginning on Terminus SE

Lyn spawning at 12, Ensnare at 3

Both players grabbing a fast gas, so you can probably expect banshees

Ensnare marginally ahead on his factory and that carries over to the starport as well

Both sticking on 1 gas so no cloak.

This is almost a perfect mirror, both going marine/hellion banshee.

Ensnare making a small error and lining up his marines in front of Lyn's hellion.

This is crazy, both are wrecking the other guys main because they have nothing to deal with a banshee. Lyn was supply blocked so unable to build a viking or anything.

Lyn down to 1 SCV lol, Ensnare at 12.

Ensnare expanding, Lyn with no money to do much of anything

Ensnare is back with another banshee, for some reason Lyn has parked his viking out in the middle of nowhere hoping to catch it on the way in, instead it comes in from the back and kills all but 2 scv's before Lyn's vikings get back.

Lyn realises he's deader than dead, and GG's

Casters missed a big deciding factor in the game. Lyn got supplyblocked at 42 right after first banshee got completed and hadnt even started a depot when Ensnares banshee rolled into his base. Thats why he had to trry to bust up the ramp so he dropped in supply and could actually start making a viking to deal with the banshee

Supply kinda important

Of course you can dislike her for any reason, but accusing me of being a "creepy worshipper" for liking her as a person is stupid.

Ensnare with some good scouting finds it.

Lyn realises he's in trouble after that and decides to just all in with marines, scv's, blueflame hellions, and 1 medivac

Lyn actually kills enough SCV's that he's ahead in worker counter, tanks do mop up the blueflame hellions though.

Ensnare just runs his banshee down to Lyn's base to exact retribution, Lyn has no anti air, all his scv's are dying.

Lyn gg's, makes a sad face.

Ensnare remains in Code S!

Obviously Banshees are going to haunt him forever.

Interstingly, why did he not use the Blueflames to kill all the scvs, that were repairing the tanks. He saw the Banshee.

Seems like Banshees are imbalanced in TvT

Will need to rewatch the Vods, I thought he said "the tank surround" as the SCV's went to mass repair them. Maybe he said "the tanks are out", but that would seem odd.

A mostly satisfying day of games results wise for me I guess.

===

Just realised that the poor guys from SlayerS were the only players not to make it up to Code S this season

But I guess it'll always be that way since the code A winner chooses hw two worst Code S players obviously :/

People said the same about San and then he beasted it up in the next season.

To expand on the nested quote:

Build banshee. Get into Code S


I liked the way Ensnare sportingly left the banshee hovering near lyns base during the initial fight to give him a sporting chance and he still died horribly to it.

Kinda sad that Lyn played like that against Ensnare. He could probably have won a standard game against him.

It's sad because Moletrap actually did a lot of good work with researching stuff at the beginning of his stint, but since then he's gotten bad at it.

Will need to rewatch the Vods, I thought he said "the tank surround" as the SCV's went to mass repair them. Maybe he said "the tanks are out", but that would seem odd.

A mostly satisfying day of games results wise for me I guess.

Just realised that the poor guys from SlayerS were the only players not to make it up to Code S this season

Im pretty sure he said tanks are out but your mouth says things you dont want to say sometimes like when they say the wrong units.

I think the original poster made a typo.

Moletrap mis-states that Rainbow dropped to Code A and is back in Code S. It was Rain who did that.
Original poster probably just said MVP by mistake when he meant Rainbow.

Doa was just pretty bad at observing the action. He should definitely pay more attention to his screen that Moletrap's (or Moletrap's face for that matter). I'm usually not the least bothered, but today I noticed three HUGE errors, and I don't know why I'm so frustrated with it today.

In MKP vs MMA on Xelnaga Fortress, MKP kills an MMA marine positioned to scout and a couple of minutes earlier they had been talking about how MMA likes to position his marines across the map. Arguably the obs only moves there for awhile, but there's the sound of a marine dying and Doa assumes it's a neutral unit. In fact, are there even neutral units on XNF?

In Bomber vs Lyn game on Crevasse I believe, Lyn had a marine at the 3 oclock XNT and Bomber comes up to flank Lyn's natural. Observer clear shows Bomber killing the marine and Doa still goes on saying how Lyn doesn't know about it.

And then in the Ensnare Lyn game, Moletrap even talks about the tanks being out during the battle and Doa makes it sound like he just noticed it after the battle had subsided.

It's just quite frustrating... I feel like rather than wasting time trying to be funny (I think he tries too hard).. he should pay a lot more attention to what's going on on the screen and telling it like it is.

EDIT: I should say though that I mean nothing harsh and I appreciate the work they've done. But they should know that they're being paid by GOM to be responsible to viewers. Particularly those who might not be as alert to things or are watching on the SQ stream where you can't really tell what's going on.

This includes getting facts right, not missing the action, and correctly analyzing strategies and builds

Probably because no one wanted to watch it as the only two players worth watching were MVP and Bomber and they were playing in groups where they were expected to crush their opponents easily. If it weren't because I have nothing better to do at this time, I wouldn't have watched it either. And also because there was another session earlier today which was scheduled at a more convenient time for the US/European viewers (that one went up to 100+ pages).

Agreed, anyone who watched the games vs MVP would have no doubt the guy deserves to be in code S, certainly more than some of the current code S players.

People hate Rain, fullstop. Rain's not that bad tbh. In fact, he almost beat InCa. I find it hard to believe Rainbow lost so bad though :S

People hate Rain because the play he displayed today was far outside of his norm. If he played like this all the time, people would hardly even make a note of him.

I can't find them showing the "best hot match" in the VODs. I'm looking at end of group G and before group H. Anyone know if it's there and where to look? I'd rather watch that than the actual games, since other than MvP and Bomber, I don't really care >.>

Kind 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.

People said the same about San and then he beasted it up in the next season.

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.

Rainbow you SUCK ! I would have forgave you if you were up against any other opponent in the world.

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 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.

I seem to be one of the few not surprised that Rain handled Rainbow 2-0. His TvZ and TvP may be lackluster, but the guy is at least competent at TvT if you've actually seen his games before.

On another note, is this the shortest LR thread for the GSL ever?

what is going on with Rainbow? for a starcraft 1 pro who was around for a long time he is astoundingly bad lately. I wonder if he is still training much/still has his heart in it.

noooooooooo rainbow

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.

I thought I heard the same thing...


Oh no he didn't. No one should be hating on Banshees >.>.

I'm glad Rain won. While some may hate Rain for cheese, I liked his story (he always wanted to be a pro gamer when he was young). Well okay that's kind of generic "story" and probably fits a lot of the younger players but still since we got to see the interview with his mom and his story, I can't help but cheer him on.

Plus he seems to be a good mannered player (never really BMs) and he even apologized for cheesing (I think cheese is fine. It's not against the rules and he should do whatever it takes to win [lots of money is on the line >.>]. It's up to Blizzard to balance cheese).

Sad and disappointed that in the yesterday's game + Show Spoiler +
"oh so man"[you know he's so man when he had trouble opening a can of coke >.>] (AKA HoSeo San) lost though .

In an interview San said he did so well during previous 2 GSLs because he was playing for fun instead of playing to win (that is his mentality was just to have a good game). I wonder if the nerves and pressure to win got to San .


Also I actually don't like the tournament format of the GSL (that is, if a player loses just one match, they're knocked out).

I think they should do more of a league where every players gets to play against all (or at least against half) the opponents (similar to the NASL) then once everyone plays each other, progressively remove the players with the lowest scores and continue with players playing each other until there are only 2 players left (then there's the finals).

This will be a better test of "overall skill" IMO because good players won't be able to get knocked out so early just because of one bad match. Though not that I'm saying Rain is bad (again I'm cheering for him) but because I really think the current tournament format doesn't do well to show a test of skill (too easy to get knocked out).

i hate MVP.

Good, but kinda lame. You can tell that he is winning from the begining as he gains a huge supply/army advantage and then he attacks when he knows he will be able to break through, so it never gets "exciting" to watch.

taking a risk with negative expected outcome AND no superior strategic anticipation, is not exciting or skillful. it's cowardly and weak.

But then again, exciting play is what makes Jinro and MarineKing so enjoyable to watch.

Jinro has not done anything exciting for a long time. Mkp yes he's very exciting but it's mostly due to a unique style.

I like watching Mvp play, personally. It's kind of akin to watching a masterpiece unfold.

Because a topic about the finals hasn't been made yet, I think i'll talk about the finals here.

I just realized now that Inca actually hasn't lost a single game since the Ro16 started. The only game he's actually lost this season was once against Rain in the group Stages.

Shame, he was so close to a perfect season. Admittedly, it's not unheard of to 2-0 Virus and 3-0 Killer. It's amazing he was able to 3-0 Nada, but then again, Nada is his teammate.

We all love a good executed cheese once and awhile, it whats gets you really pumped up and excited wondering if its going to succeed or are we going to see a glorious fail. We just don't want to see cheese for 90% of someones play. Love to see MC cheese because he rarely does it. He usually plays standard and might cheese once in a bo5/bo7 which is the kind of stuff we need.

Unlike Inca vs Nada, 3 games of cheese to knock out a fan favorite.

Did you watch Game 3? Sure, he was going to cheese, but he beat NaDa in a straight up match when that attempt failed.

Rainbow you SUCK ! I would have forgave you if you were up against any other opponent in the world.

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 :/


Why you mad, bro? Rain didn't even cheese.

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


Amazing that a professional gamer, who practices hours upon hours a day, can win or play well in a standard game. *gasp*


I'm sure bitbybit lived in the prime house.

He actually didn't. Prime has like 100 members and only 8 in the team house.

Noo Rainbow in Code A

Wait a second, Rain vs MVP games were good? That's a bit surprising considering what may seem like a huge skill difference (and playstyle difference).

Watch the first one. The second one, not so much.

Watch the first game of Bomber vs. Lyn too.

None of the rest of the games were worth watching. They all lasted <10 minutes.
