The thing is Rain has figured out how to hold just about every normal timing attack in PvP from the games I've seen. He just passively macros into these 8+ Immortal armies and roflstomps his opponents. It looks so simple and yet I never see pros copying his late game army compositions... it's kind of bizarre. I think that once people start doing this though Rain won't be nearly as unbeatable in PvP. He doesn't have any really insane mechanics there - it's just he defends well and then kills you at 200 supply. Props to him for figuring it out while other pros still warp in 70 supply of gateway units past the 3 base mark.

If they do that, you shouldn't feel bad about using adblock. I use it on MLG events because they do the same crap sometimes.

The key to win PvP is to make more immortals than your opponent.


The key to PvP is to have enough colossus so they can all fire at once, and then build the rest of your army out with high value for supply units like immortals and archons, stalkers are no good and zealots are just a meat shield.

Yeah but usually it all comes down to the immortal numbers.

Man, HerO still can't beat Rain. It's a mental issue at this rate. Oh well.

Go Jaedong! Finish it!


Exactly. Hero played SO timid this game and thus played from behind/made crucial errors in judgement.

I counted at least twice Hero couldve done some damage with focusing on blink stalkers/obs. Instead does little to nothing with blink stalkers, losing 8(?) for a colossus and an obs.

the biggest problem with eg.tl is that while they have an entire roster of good players, they dont' have a really great player. Taeja hero and jaedong are good but not great like rain...making it hard to win ace matches against really top tier teams.

They are all great.


Yes, thats why no-one on eg-tl has a winning record against rain...

I'm getting pretty good at timing the mute button. Reaching over 200APM there.


the loud commercials are ignoring the mute button, it is making me sad.

hero had the build order advantage but squandered it. if his stalkers were in position before rain's second colossus popped he probably could have pushed the natural and done some fairly significant damage since rain's units were split to deal with blinks into the main.

once the supplies breach 100 you just can't stop rain pvp

They're playing in the PC bang where they have the GSL Code A qualifiers. It's where they broadcast the games on Mon/Tues. Weekend games are in studio though.

Hero vs Rain reminds me of kasparov and michael adams in chess, a lesser known, but great pro who never ever managed to defeat kasparov in his career (well, at least in classical):

seems appropriate given what seems to be coming in hero vs rain future. : P sorry hero, I think he has your number.

Actually it's closer to the level of Judit Polgar and Vladimir Kramnik ROFL.
