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!

Yeah its impressive, especially the HT control. In the mid game when he was under a lot of pressure he was floating over 1000 minerals for several minutes but i suppose that protoss is the race that has the biggest macro/mechanic discrepancy bw - sc2,

To anyone saying it was protoss latgame or elephant lategame who won the game:
It wasn't the reason as much as it was MKP throwing the game away.
He was 70 supply ahead at one point with similar worker count, he could've just walked through storms if he wanted to and still win it. but he just choked. nothing else to it.
Lost tons of Ghosts because of one drop, and everytime he engaged past his first 200/200 he positioned his infantry awfully.

ugh... MKP just forgot how to win. Having that stupid stalemate in middle. Not using multipronged attacks when he ahd the supply lead... Poor micro with EMPS. Sigh. MKP always disappoint =(

Yeah apart from that one attempted doom drop he didn't drop a single time that I saw, I really don't understand what happened, its like he just fell apart.

ghosts are pretty good man

Do you really think you know more about the game than all the terran pros? If it was possible to play mech in TvP, they would do it.

Even Goody?

Even Goody gave up using mech vs. P. The only pro I've seen using it recently is Hack and his mech doesn't work against a half decent toss player because it relies on hellions destroying the economy early game.

Yeah, being sad for losing is girlish, nice logic.

Losing all of those Ghosts was just devastating, if he had had those in his army the whole time it would have been so much easier to deal with that heavy Templar army.

So many wasted Ghosts...

Rain said he that he practiced alone, because the others are practicing for the PL playoffs

i dont like how tvp is centred around either landing the emps or not. its waay too flimsy to have a entire outcome be based off whether emps land or not.

ESF players are trembling in fear already. I mean after MKP, who still have they god? Best will roll MC later.

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

Yes, it is bad design. But this is how the game currently is. There was even this one interview with Blizzard, where they said that Terran was stronger in the early-mid stages of the game and have to finish it there or get a huge advantage. Or in other words: Blizzard said that Terrans need to do allin...
