He was outplayed by a superior player, call it for what it is. Lol @ people not understanding Bomber's Law and think that bringing it up is trying to take away from Rain Bomber's Law is about the hype behind Bomber and how Bomber loses underwhelmingly after he massively gets everyone's hopes up. His opponent's skill level is irrelevant. | ||

On the other hand you can't call his playoff performance "inconsistent," given the fact that he consistently lost. :S Look at his ace match stats. It goes way beyond his playoff performance man. He either hauls ass or derps. No player has been in more sudden death positions as Rain yet when its all on the line he is less than 50%. That isn't a good statistic. As much as I like Rain, he hasn't been close to as dominant as people make him out to be. He just sort of slided into this OSL Final which is quite something else. Perhaps the Protoss MVP is warranted when you've played a crap ton of games for your team. I honestly think he could do better in PL (remember not just talking about playoffs). His numbers really weren't that great and it's as if he coasted most of the time. | ||

Going mech game 2 was an attempt to force down expectations, to trick the community into thinking his brain had completely broken and thus lowering expectations down to the floor. With these lowered expectations, Bomber's theory was that Bomber's Law could no longer apply. Unfortunately this plan was scuppered from an unlikely source. A humble TeamLiquid poster called Wintex could not have his belief shattered, in even the darkest times, he would ALWAYS BELIEVE. On being asked 'would you bet your life in Bomber's triumph: 'there's only one person that's stupid enough to vote yes, and he's here.' It was at this stage that I believe that the cunning ploy of Bomber failed to break the Law™ | ||

Last I thought about it, I wouldn't have rated him above Rain in the match-up, but with how he dismantled Innovation it seems like he might have learned how to prepare really well. His micro is top notch and I'm sure he can bring a few builds that'll make Rain sweat. | ||

Not to mention there is no Proleague to practice for. Every move that Maru Has ever made in a game will be analysed and all his weaknesses will be determined and exploited.Rain will win!you underestimate Prime | ||

Where was that beautiful starcraft? Those games were short, and kind of one-sided apart from G1 and G3. If you call that beautiful starcraft, I have to interfere! Beautiful starcraft is a 40min-freaking-macro-drop-harass-base-snipes-huge-trades-fancy-moves battle. I remember a HerO vs. Leenock series on Entombed Valley, back in WoL. I bet that none of the OSL games played so far except maybe one or some of the Maru vs. Symbol games will make it to the "Top50 Games of HotS"-Thread, once LotV comes out. Please dont try to tell me how to feel and try to change my definition of beautiful starcraft. Just because something is intertaining doesnt mean its beautiful, usually when matches are back and forth its because the players make a lot of mistakes, try to find those kind of mistakes in rains openings and midgame play, its impossible, he doesnt let opponents make a comeback in a game. | ||

I can only agree with you sir. "The games wasnt good because it was one sided"... wait... it was one sided because Rain made it one sided with his beautifull play on this match. | ||
