That's the frustrating part. People need to learn to hard counter him. Puzzle went pretty much all-in vs. Destiny, and he defended well, primarily with ling/roach. Against that type of pressure teching to infestors when you have an economic advantage is the most logical choice because they're great at defending strong gateway pushes. | ||

Me, I think the infestor-vs-viking battles look a bit inefficient, but ok. I would say sure, WP GG even if it was a lower level game, except Rain needed to be using EMP. The like (3)? he landed were too little, too late, and didn't hit. If he bothered to even try to do that (he had many oppourtunities) he would have rolled the broods and that would have been GG many times over. I just can't get over why he kept taking full energy ghost with cloak into a pile of 8-10 infestors and instead of getting rid of all there energy, so he could actually do something, he instead tried to snipe them off, only to get fungaled. I wish Rain would have played that simple part proper would have made for a much better win/game in my mind. | ||

Whenever I see terrans get ghosts, they end up largely ineffective or not worth the cost. Might as well spam vikings/marines at their army and hope it breaks instead. Some terran pros I've heard say ghosts aren't really that effective of an counter, since they get easily sniped by fungals and BL fire. Also tbh I would be interested in learning ghost use. Currently I can't pull it off at all. even if terran gets ghosts, i still think zerg is way stronger. but how can you NOT get ghosts in that situation?????????? that's my point. not that ghosts would be op against that composition just think about it. | ||

Destiny, himself, is saying ghosts are really good right now | ||

I'm saying just because one person has a style or uses certain units doesn't mean they are bad or simply gimmicky players. Is Losira bad because he almost always uses a ton of banelings? Is MC bad because his style relies heavily on sentries? Is huk bad because he uses a shit ton of blink stalkers? | ||

None of those players use the same build every game in 2 different matchups | ||

If he'll show that he can play also different style game i think that he can reach a final of some premium tournament, but actually i want to see him in a tournament where some gosu korean (no Rain is not a gosu korean) play him in a BO5, i'm very corious to see what he can do vs player like MMA, MC Donraegu etc.. Fortunally that will happen soon at MLG! :-D Edit : This caster is soo good and fun to listen! His music is > of K-Pop! | ||

If he makes it through the open bracket we'll have something to talk about. Right now though Idra, Slush, Sheth, Machine have more results than him easilly as NA Zergs. He just won a LAN a few days ago But admittedly, it wasn't a really big event. | ||

I'd put my money on destiny vs the rest.. though maybe not specifically in zvz, just being better at the other matchups. maybe zvz too though lol | ||
