On the other hand, Terrans won so many TvP that I almost had an heart-attack xD I have like a 5% W/L ratio on ladder


Terran winning there games is balance, but if zerg does it TEARS of QQ :D

OT: Suprised Rain lost tbh i expected so much more from him.

how did Rain lost? was it macro or cheese?

Picked apart by awesome multitasking.

I would say Rain just didn't have enough defense and Dream really well took advantage of it with multiprong attacks.

Isn't this the exact same thing as getting outplayed?

Outplayed it's like Rain is loosing because having less skills. Imo it's more Dream hitting a good timing with the right composition.


Damn it's hard to admit Rain has been outplayed by a low tier player this night.

Dream was really not looking low tier tonight though. He played really well.


Sure, but it's the first feat of this kind he pulled iirc.

I remember him appearing here and there and sometimes losing series a bit closer than you thought he would against good players, but that's all.

Here, he 2-0'ed convincingly Rain, which is somewhat really honorable !

If he keeps this going, then he'll climb the tier, that's what I'm implying by this.

I agree with this.

But reading comments here, it looks like Dream had a better multitask (which might be the case), winning the game because of his total dominance in micro and macro (what I call ouplay) and that's where I disagree. On the second game Rain did make a few mistakes but his loss was most of all due to him not reading the situation well enough beforehand, therefore not preparing well enough, therefore not being able to deal with it efficiently. In such a short game, this is something that can happen, even to the best players. It's not like Rain was looking that bad compared to Dream. On the other hand , the first game was quite long and pretty close.

Oh wow. Rain is out of the GSL. LOL! So much for his decision to go to MLG.

Well, you certainly had some big names dropping out of GSL before (MC, MKP, DRG, etc.). The fan favorites just don't seem to be playing that well anymore :T

Well maybe the middle roller table. High roller would be if he also had a star studded Ro4 to bring to america. And all those extra seats since not one of the GSL ranking people for WC made semis. And MVP isn't coming.

I wonder if they're sort of happy Rain fell out since he caused that scheduling kerfuffle in the first place? I find an odd sense of karma in this haha.

Watch him win the next OSL or something. It's time people start realizing that code B/A/S means pretty much nothing and GSL as a tournament doesn't determine anything except who the GSL champion is.

Kinda have the same feeling.
Sad that so few players are consistent
or maybe its just the game which doesn't allow it?
And who are you, the proud lord said, that I must bow so low?

Well so much for establishing some order at the top of the ranks, it seems that ultimately there is no best player in the world right now, and not even a clear best player for any race.

I'm just happy Flash made it through, at least he gets a guaranteed shot at the up and downs again.

Lol, people in this thread hating on Rain.

No one ever thinks (hell, even Wolf said this on stream) that it might not even have been his own decision to pull out from Code S?

The frequent and recent traveling does hurt the focus of such players. While Rain was up, flying around and not practicing, you got Dream, an underrated player, practicing hard as hell for this particular match up. It isn't so far-fetched that Rain lost as a result.

The first game was long but Rain made many mistakes in it too. His biggest mistake in that game was sending 5 high templars to their death in the middle of the map, forgetting to pull them back with the rest of his army. The english observer missed it but the Korean observer obviously didn't because you could hear the Korean casters go loud at that moment.
