Rain afraid to play macro against Flash it seems. Smart.

Why let someone with excessively greedy openers get away with it, and play for a no pressure late game? Go kill them or do damage kk. Especially when they have a track record of being terrible at defending such plays.

Flash is as greedy as Mkp. Rain played this series just right.

I was expecting a few macro games because I thought rain was confident in his macro and lategame control.

I wouldn't say that, I think he just knows that FLash likes to go triple CC so often and punished it.

Yeah, as I said, smart. Rain made the right decisions here. Letting Flash get his insane macro going not so great. Once Flash learns to defend all these all ins while cutting the corners he likes it will get interesting :D

I really wanted Flash to pull through, especially since I was hoping for a Parting v. Flash Grand Final.

why do you do a macro game vs an opponent thats falters to certain early game pressure? Its your goal to win, not to play dandy. So well done by.Rain. He exploited Flash weakness.

Yes. That's when he breaks the game.

It is annoying to play against people that play so greedy as Flash. Either you play as greedy as them blindly or you kill them early on, otherwise they will have such a huge midgame advantage that you play from behind the whole time.
So yeah a good thing to punish eco cheesers early on, either way the games end up boring unless both go tripple nexus/cc.

To be fair, as was already said, Flash didn't play that greedy every game. Last game was completely standard, for example. Certainly not eco cheese as you say.

right, Rain punished a greedy opening by flash. But still, personally, I think flash is a better macro player than Rain (though both are good). Its hard for Terrans to scout that kind of early-pressure build. I mean, toss has complete map control in the early game.

Did Flash go triple command last game? I thought he just went 2 commands.

To all those that think Rain can't beat Flash in a macro game:

SKT and KT had a pre-test match a week before Proleague started. Rain faced Flash on Cloud Kingdom, in a very standard 3 base game.

Rain CRUSHED Flash's army easily.

Can someone please PM me if there are VoDs for this anywhere? I wish the threads for these were made like a day in advance instead of a few hours beforehand.

So if Parting beats Soo, he's going to have to face his nemesis!
