And no, having a knowledge of the scene and being able to translate ARE qualities that are useful to a caster. | ||

Good point I suppose he was "The Terrorist" after all right? So more of a micro guy? | ||

Fantasy should beat Classic pretty handily in a standard game, no? I don't get the reasoning behind it. | ||

I don't get the reasoning behind it. Why would Boxer to tell him to do that? It's BoxeR. I sorta feel as if they wanted to finish up the series so they can take it to ace. Except the reasoning there is that they could reliably win the ace enough for their 6th game to be a coinflip. Obviously enough, now they've gotta play against Innovation. Perhaps they prepared some crazy rush for it. | ||

He just needs to learn how to play the matchup and he'll be fine what? 2 months ago Rain still has the best PvP, winning every single laser tag/late game with style. He's simply slumping recently | ||

Considering how many times SKT have gone with Rain in these situations it shouldn't be a surprise and they have no one else but to blame themselves by putting so much on the guy's back to begin with. Rain's played in more sudden death situations than any other player this PL. The only other player who comes close is herO[join] and we all know how that worked out for CJ. | ||
