Better get used to it.

I don't think so. Pretty sure it would have gone down as well. Or at the very least just kill 15+ probes lol

If he knew it was happening.
He had no tech to cover the drop (blink, observers, phoenix, or hts for feedback), because he invested so heavily in DTs (and charge first, and archons to cover the frontal attack).
Absolutely absurd to call it imbalanced because MVP beat Grubby after a failed DT opening.

I remember there being a great quote about someone telling Boxer that dropships now healed.
Kespa terrans are going to break the game behind medivac play. It is going to be devestating and absolutely glorious in its totality.
[Still we have a whole tournament to see how it all pans out and even if it's theoretically a bad design choice it might work out. Also DT opening *]

And you know that how? Are you some kind of oracle who just KNOWS that people wont be able to defend these drops once they learn to deal with it? Btw im considering playing the lottery, can you inbox me the winning numbers please?

Foreigner Terrans been playing HotS longer yet have awful records at IEM, couldn't they just use their magic I Win Ships to maybe pick up some victories? I mean come on. MVP would have beaten Grubby in WoL after that DT kill starsense anyway.

The voice for the Raidcall commercial has to be trolling. There is no way he isn't.

This Raidcall ad is so mean... SC2.... ;;

The ironic thing is, players not being able to practice physically (not enough PCs at IEM with HoTS) make Mvp have an even bigger advantage. Given his wrist conditions, I would think he does more 'mental training' then almost every pro out there.

Or Grubby could play something else than Zealots/Archons—the unit composition which is the most vulnerable to mass drop play because your only anti-air is a clunky short-ranged unit—in a game drastically improving said drop play? For example a 150/150 upgrade which allows your Stalkers to teleport to any location within 8 range instead of having to awkwardly bypass cliffs and such with your whole army.

Exactly. Medivac speed may be imbalanced, but this series sure wasn't an example of that.

I'm going to use " magic I Win Ships " from now on, thanks.

Depends on the form of Rain frankly speaking.
I remember he was beating the hot Terrans(Taeja,Polt) during their prime. Rain actually has one of the best multi-tasking defense.

That shit is getting nerfed, no way it can stay in the game. They will prolly put a energy requirement on it so that Terran has to sacrifice something in order to execute it, right now it's just stupid. like make it cost 25 energy or something.
