well i think it was a good decision to not build any more stargate units.
Stephano invested in so many spores...
He wouldn't have done any damage.
But stephano is just too good to loose to a 2 base all in.

Someone needs to bust out MaNa's Zealot/Archon allin build that he used to hard counter Dimagas Ling/Baneling play and use it against this Ling heavy style from Stephano.

Parting is boring? Rain is boring?

Come on now. Don't be silly.

It's clear he just doesn't like watching Protoss. Which is a shame, Rain's Ro16 games were a work of art.


He was talking about PvZ, Sun only played PvT in r16

That was actually his strategy.

How can that possibly be the case?

I don't understand when pros engage like that. Looking at those lings and the spines. That attack was dead. We all knew it... Why not pullback and do something else? Sure your timing had to hit but it's dead before you engage and we all know it.


10 probes behind, no splash to get third, Stephano (from his POV) should have infestor den and if he moves back he loses anyway. He probably felt dead either way.

ikr... Rain has gotta be one of the most awesome protosses to watch.


Creator, Squirtle, and Seed could indeed be boring. But Rain? No.

cloud should really try stepping his game up a bit if he wants to advance in the tournament

all game long he was one base up on his opponent,was floating a lot of resources and he only had +1 attack for his mech....

still a good game though

He seems to get "lucky" a lot by having the perfect reaction to everything. Maybe he just scouted something that gave it away what Nightend was doing? Gas count maybe?

I think it was planned. He wanted the stargate to be scouted so that Stephano thought he was going some heavy air push. But Stephano figured him out before he could take advantage of it. If he wouldn't have had those 32 zerlings out on the map when Nightend moved out, it could have gone very differently. Risky move by Nightend, well played my Stephano.

How can that possibly be the case?

He made the Void Ray to force a reaction out of Stephano, which came in the form of Spore Crawlers. It was a smart decision, but he should have used a different followup. Archon/Zealot all in would have worked a lot better against this Ling style from Stephano instead of Blink Stalkers. Blink Stalkers get crushed by Upgraded Lings..

It was a bad followup choice from NightEnd.

Hehe indeed. Seriously, the kid's a genius, he may not have the best mechanics, but he just knows what to do every single time and what the perfect reaction is. Such a smart player!
