better poll, which all in will Last use next?


Entombed Valley is the map, I guess we will see some 7-8 rax all-in on 2 bases with no gas or one gas.

Quick question, how do you defend against a 2 rax? I'm guessing just stalkers would be good against pure marines.


Stalkers and I like to wall off, if you scout it earlier you can cut probes faster and make a second gateway, which usually lets you live. Unfortunately your usually caught off gaurd and have to dance with 1 gate being cronoboosted making stalkers, and in this scenario you defend by having godlike control almost.

I think 2 rax is a decent play, most protoss players like myself don't scout till stalker

If you scout it too late, it's like scouting a 2 gate proxy in your base and you have 1 marine on the low ground saying, from this point "how do I defend against a 2 gate proxy?" Your already screwed and you should have scouted better.

The reality is you need to scout around your main, nat and 3rd with your probe.

I prefer doing this when I do probe scout instead of stalker scout even though I may not get into the Terran's main, as 90% of games I play now I get to the Terran's base and he drops a 2nd depot to stop my probe from coming in. in other words scouting straight to his base is a waste of time.

I may as well scout around for cheese instead of missing cheese and running into a wall off.


remark: if you "miss a cheese" you can't run into a wall off cuz there's nothing to wall with

Last's play is definitely not disgusting, it seems to be working well vs Rain so I guess It's a good choice. I think Rain can turn this around and win 4-3 though.

Props to Last though. Smart play to punish Rain's greedy play.


Pretty much this.

I still hate Last though. T_T

Why so many Rain fanboy ? We saw that Rain is very good at lategame unit control and decision making.
Last is playing the counter --> cheesy agressive play.

Protoss > Terran lategame so what the problem ?

MC getting manhandled by Alive in the GSL? What's the scoreline over there now?

Wow. Going down 2-0. Let's see how strong Rain is mentally.

Last is killing esports with this play, but I definately called it so far.

Last is like the kid who just cheeses on ladder all the time. Rain plays macro games on ladder. Cheeser will get wins until the macro player gets good enough to hold cheese while playing standard. Then macro player wins championships.

No cheeser has ever won a GSL.

Didnt saw Game 1 but Game 2 was 1/1/1 vs 1 Gate expand into 4Gate pressure. The 4gate pressure was pretty ineffective, especially because Last was already had 2 or 3 tanks out, he then proceeded to push, pulling the scv train twice in order to seal the deal with marines/tanks/medivac

Had this been Flash playing, everyone would have been applauding Last. I think he's doing great so far, and it'd be very cool to see him pull the upset against Rain who has his one of the biggest hype trains ever.
If Last knows he's playing against a superior late-game player, why would he go there in the OS freakin' L?

I'm referring more to the thread and the fanboys than to Rain. It's the same every time.
