I don't understand the hate for Rains one basing. He has shown that he is competent in both one base and macro styles. If he smells his opponent is weak to one basing, why shouldn't he abuse it? It's Blizzards fault, not his, that 1-1-1 is extremely hard to beat.

"nice job brat" - Haypro

From anyone else I feel like that would be sarcastic, but I've never seen Haypro be sarcastic or BM. But then again, man... idk, MOST people would be a bit salty after that beginning, even if they knew it was their own fault lol

To my understanding, brat is Russian for brother (with bratok being a more affectionate form so I have been told).

Has there been an official word or fix about the stream stuttering? Even the archives have nigh unwatchable lag. Everything else has been pretty stellar though.

No he's not. He is good, but there are better players. He fell to Idra and DeMuslim in the IEM China qualifiers, Select and KiwiKaki both outperformed him at MLG Raleigh. He is very good and at the top, but he's not the best.

Rain was the highest finishing NA player at Anaheim.

He was third highest at Raleigh.

He's currently the second highest NA based player on the ELO (Major is first).

He the best overall win ratio at 66.44% of ANY player outside of Korea on international TLPD.

He has an 84% win ratio in TvP (his only loss to a non-Korean based player was Naniwa in a series Rain won 2-1), which is the best on TLPD outside of Korea.

His TvZ is the second best to Kas on TLPD.

He was Code S for most of his time in Korea.

He is a GSL finalist.

His record in MLG pool play is 8 wins and 2 losses with 17-8 in sets.

Please show me another NA player with that consistancy.

I said he was one of the best. But he is not the outright best. Select, Kiwikaki, Sheth, Idra, DeMuslim, and some others will consistently take games off of him and perform well in tournaments.

The Liquid Family always has to explain it when they are trolling, otherwise people get confused .

EDIT: Except Hotbid, people probably get confused when he is being serious.

so I click http://nasl.tv/Videos

to see if you finally made it possible to lower the quality of vods. I see you did this for a lot of random videos like "NASL Season 2 Must See Matchups" and random showmatches.

However, the only vod there was sheth vs vibe and it did NOT have this possibility. It's unfathomable.

So let me get this straight, will you be able to lower the quality or not? Were can I go to test this before I buy another product I can't use?

I would not bet on any of those players in a set against Rain.

So the other guy pretty much posts a well thought out and coherent post proving his point and all you can say is some generic bullshit about how rain lost a few random games to those players?

This way of knowing the recommended games is.... just bad ;S
Which of the games that is the best tells me nothing, a "recommended game 2" might still be just average at most...
