People just like to hate on Whiplash and SNM for making mistakes. Even other casters make just as many, no one says anything. It actually gets really annoying (the hating on Whiplash and SNM) and I'm sure it's even more annoying for them.

Surely Fantasy had good results with this in practice. It didn't really look like he screwed up, just perfect defense from Classic. Seriously man. That was such well executed defense. The probes were pulled at the exact time that they needed to be pulled at. I love SC2!
Oh please. Nexus cannon makes that so easy an NA Masters player could do that.

Your use of quotes is confusing me.

Just no, they're definitely second tier as casters go.

Why would Fantasy cheese, anyway? Why would Boxer tell him to do that, as I imagine he did?
Fantasy should beat Classic pretty handily in a standard game, no? I don't get the reasoning behind it. That cheese was perfectly designed. Fantasy seriously botched that
Oh, yeah. I get that. Classic got a second gate down asap, used his probes well, and kept his MS alive. Fantasy botched it.
But, I just don't really get the necessity for that tactic when your player is superior to his opponent.

Hopefully Rain's 11-1 PvT record holds up.

I feel as if SKT's deep enough that they don't need ONE ace player. It's not like Oz or KT with one man in the name of love.

Come on Rain, you can do this! His PvT can still be amazing.
