How in the world did Roof qualify?


After game 1 I guess you spoke too soon? -_-... He did quiet well.

not really. he took massive damage from 2 banshees, couldnt handle drops, got 1 half-decent engagement in the midgame, and then a-moved infestor/BL to victory.

nothing particularly impressive about that. if anything, just showing that he can win without any multitasking.

He came back from a terrible position by engaging really well every time. Quite impressive imo.

1 good engagement. Not every time. 1 good engagement. Every other engagement was either a walkover or he lost.


No, he actually engaged quite well over and over again. Was very cost-efficient with the muta/ling/bling vs marine/tank wars, which allowed him to get to BLs safely and stay ahead of Rain -_-

I thought balance whining wasn't allowed in LR threads anyway.

On another note I really like the analysis after the game, although I am not too too interested, but I think it will help some people. From a TV perspective the guy on the left from Complexity needs to talk to the audience and not to Mr. Bitter, it gets annoying.

Saying I don't think a player is good isn't balance whine, lol. Wtf?


Talking about how he shitted up the game then a-moved blord/infestor to victory is.

Anyway great job by Rain, that was a really nice rax placement on Antiga. Also don't know why roof went gas-first... it's outdated and doesn't do much - if opponent is 2raxing you are in big trouble, if opponent is 1rax cc or something similar you are behind economically. as opposed to using 15/16 pool or something more standard


He didn't go gas first genius.

He went 15 hatch, 14 gas, 16 pool.

I don't see any advantage to not drone scouting. The economic advantage is so minimal with such a gigantic risk, why do people do it?

this postgame analysis is fucking awesome


Did you see Apollo do solo analysis with the touchscreen? Simply brilliant

no missed that I just caught MrB and Trimaster looking at Rain-Roof g2. very cool to see MLG bringing SC2 the features that sports broadcasts have in the US.

I dont care about it in sports, and I dont care about it here. I am only interested in the games.


You clearly don't know what the aftergame analysis is actually for, it's productive time filling to give people the time to set up the next game. If it wasn't there there would basically be a commercial break. How people fail to recognize this and would rather want they didn't do it boggles my mind.


Personally I got bored of the fluff between games at tournaments a long time ago, there's very little content I am interested in other than the games themselves. This doesn't mean they shouldn't do the analysis though because clearly some people do enjoy it.

Feel bad for Sheth he is such a good idea it sucks to see him get knocked out so early. Least it was 2-1 not 2-0.

Good thing I only said the second half of that sentence. Also no, that's not balance whine anyway. It's saying I'm surprised that such a bad mechanics player was able to win.


Bolded the important parts for you.

I really don't understand, Terran wins a game and people still complain about TvZ balance? Why do I even spend time in these threads -_-

I have no respect for Rain. Should be embarassed to basically only 2 rax in every tvz and tvp. I'm not even mad, it's just sad.

Daisy used to be on Prime but moved to Germany and joined ESC. He was also the first player to win a TSL4 qualifier. Golden used to be on Slayers but switched to team Light. He was at Homestory Cup V

Why you root for a greedy bad player?

Glad RAIN one.

smart move on his part. Bad Z is Bad


I don't think it's fair to say that. Sometimes players play greedily, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I don't dislike Rain for cheesing - I actually always quite liked him, but I do feel bad Roof for going out in such a manner.

To be fair, these MLG arena threads are worse then the usual LR threads are. Dunno why though :<

There is actually zero tears in the past 5 pages...Just some midly upset people that rain won.

Noone gives a shit that a two rax outright kills the zerg, that should never happen.
