MKP just couldn't finish it. Seemed a bit scared and TvP is already hard to finish off.
I don't get why terrans in that situation don't go for the mass orbitals earlier. Freeing up ~30 pop for extra army is really useful for breaking through protoss.

This is the things to learn from that match, the strength of cloak banshees into 3CC when employed with surprise, the value of aggressive expansions with pressure in TvP especially on daybreak. How not to engage the protoss death ball and the value of building a ghost count and maintaining it properly throughout the match.

im a protoss player and honestly I have no idea how MKP lost this

He was getting harassed by the warp prism, causing him to make the mistake of leaving his ghosts behind and uncloaked. From there, Rain didn't make many mistakes. Also, as others have said, Rain was able to get back into it because of MKPs passive play (investing in CCs over army). Rain made Colo, 3/3, templar.

I hate those kind of statements but here it's totally true:

MKP lost the game, Rain didn't win it.


it's always both though, also cannot believe mkp managed to lose this game, then again so many of the kespa wins have been from similiar gigantic leads from gsl players, nerves seem to play a big role atm..

You can't play mech versus SC2 protoss.

They will eventually catch up to Kespa and start using storms vs Bio and force all to mech in TvP's


It's going to be nice in HOTS when terran will become the unstopable a-move deathball race with mech in TvP

The roles of constant expansion/harassment/forcing battles will be reversed and toss will be in the situation T is now where if you leave P alone you are guarenteed to lose.

MKP could have killed Rain when he won the first big engagement if he had just sniped the Rains third with his remaining forces. Dunno if he was scared of storms or whatever but he sure had this game at that point. Nice harassment by Rain to keep MKP occupied else where.

this is fucking ridiculous. couple storms and he overcomes a huge deficit.

Thats PvT on big maps for you right there. Was MarineKings fault really, he should have just mega all-inned when he was ahead.


If we accept this as true, then this is bad design of a game, where when you are ahead you have to all in as the clock ticks to your death

WP by Rain, told you this is he's OSL :-)

Its amazing how fast these KeSPA players have gotten this good, they dont make the small mistakes the "sc2" pros still are doing, clumping up HT's, forgetting upgrades, missing a beat on the production, stopping the harrass in mid/late-game.

Rain is also so resilient, ive seen him on Daybreak a couple of times being so behind, but still he fights back and win 20 mins later!
