TLO, I love you for the cute stuff you pull off, but sometimes I wish you stopped doing cute stuff.

Are you seriously saying Rain is better than Fraer atm.? His last achievment was about one year ago, he has about 100 elo less with recent losses to Grubby, Sheth, Sase, Strelok...


3-2 in GSTL
4-0 in IPL
3-2 in the EG MSC

All in the past 5 weeks

I did say Team Leagues. Also. Like the other guy said, using elo as part of your argument not such a great thing to do.


His GSTL wins were against Sirius, Brave and Salvation, his IPL wins were against Western wolves and he has a worse EGMC record than Fraer. He did nothing, a decent eurpean could´nt have done as well.


The same Sirius who beat MMA last week who's a Code S champion, you're not making a great point with that


Fraer defeated GoOdy, who also defeated MMA. Transitive skill does not exist.


Now you're just making outrageous comparisons - MMA was in Code S this season and he got annihilated by Sirius, and you only brought up the NSH players cos you don't actually know them, Salvation is pretty ok for someone who recruited via the Ladder the old-school way.

Since you are pretending to be some kind of Korean scene know-it-all, you are certainly aware that MMA hasn't been in the best mental state following the SlayerS disband. I wouldn't read too much into a single loss in this situation.

On the other hand, you are definitely unaware of the european scene (no wonder you live in England - and yes that's an ad hominem attack but I like to display my french heritage by hating on the mint lamb eaters) Fraer is a solid player. A top tier PvZ in EU (not quite on Seed's or Rain's level of course but I would still rate it on the same level as finale's) and while Rain had good results in team leagues, nothing he has done there has been very impressive. He is just another Code B. And the vast majority of Code B is not the favorite vs. top tier foreigners anymore.


Nerchio is the best player in this field and the favourite to win this DreamHack. TheSTC is a contender but Nerchio should beat him if they meet.

I think you quoted the wrong person, revel8. I never talked about that. Nerchio's results are in fact the best argument that Koreans aren't the automatic favorites anymore.


I actually said early in the thread Nerchio should be up there otherwise the EU scene will be left embarrassed with Code B players taking the top spots, the arguments about some supposedly good player called Frear because he beat Puma in the worst form of his life and then started comparing him to TheSTC and Rain

Fraer might be unknown to you. But he is a clear top 5 protoss in EU. TheSTC is a very good player but Rain is a cheesy cockroach.

Seems like TLO was trying to do too many things at one time, attempting a Nydus all-in, then transitioned into Hive play which never worked because Rain was never damaged macro-wise.


nah his plays might have worked vs a lesser player but not vs. a decent Korean Terran.

Nerchio has a bad losing record to Titan, Fraer and Grubby...no offense to these players(who are tip top in the foreign scene), but having a losing record against them means you aren't a contender for having one of the best ZvPs in the world...

Has Rain put on some additional weight or is that my imagination?

My feeling with TLO has always been if he spent a lot of time getting his standard play/long standard macro plays up to a higher level he'd be an extremely dangerous player. If he could win those kinds of games regularly without cute stuff, it'd make his cute stuff 10x more dangerous because his opponents would be kept guessing.

He's clearly a smart guy, I wonder if his medical issues (carpal tunnel, etc.) make practicing difficult and that's why we don't see more standard stuff out of him mixed in with the wacky TLO strategies we all love.
