What is wrong with TL today? Bomber has the potential to make it to the finals after years of heartache. He's never looked this good. Despite Bomber's Law, we should all be going apeshit with excitement for him and yet there are almost more people who want Rain to win. WTF?! They are all scared to tits that he will "disappoint" IF he loses to the best PvTer in HotS 'cause they are bandwagoners.
Only thing going for Bomber right now is that he's facing the best PvTer in the world. Tamped down the hype enough to prevent Bomber's law from being enacted. Looking forward to seeing heavier hellbat usage than normal as he introduces a new standard.

Yeah, Bomber's law doesn't work without the almost disbelief that he's on the verge of doing it. He's like the hot chick you've lusted after and never felt you had a chance with leading you by the hand to her bedroom, stripping you and then going 'actually, nah'. I like your starcraft/women metaphors. Should make a whole thread for those. I work better to a brief, I will bear this in mind. The painful thing for me is that this actually occurred to me in my youth. Really? That sucks. Like, it really sucks. And yeah, it was quite funny how Byun had to award the series to Seed before Seed started realizing that he was actually good.
Ah don't feel too much sympathy. She was so hot that the kudos I got for her even thinking about fucking me had fringe benefits.
I actually really loved Seed's championship, something about him is just appealing to me, what a baller. Along with Genius he belongs to the Protoss players I love, but cannot actually think of why. Good series too until the final!

Wait, you rooted for Rain over Mvp? I don't understand.

Mvp should be a 5 time GSL champion by now. He had that game against Life. He could've killed any doubt but he didn't. Know why? Because he wants to kill it slowly.

Don't underestimate the need for a true, indisputable best Protoss player. I mean have we ever had one since MC's early success?

No, but then Protoss players in general don't appeal to me.

Perhaps PartinG for a brief period from late late 2012 to early 2013.

I have to admit I also wanted to see a double royal roader T_T That kind of thing is so rare to see, that when the time comes...
Oh well. Really any of Rain, Mvp, or Life winning that season would have made for an awesome story.

I disagree, Rain was already better than him then I'd say.

That's tough because Rain was really good around that time, too. Though PartinG did win WCS, so I suppose.

late late 2012 was when Parting won two majors in a row. One of which was over Rain's dead body.

Parting just never felt like that to me. He had gloriously pleasing PvT, solid PvP but genuinely outside of the soul train his PvZ had a hell of a lot of holes.

Parting never beat Rain in WCS 2012 at any stage. Creator took him down for Parting

All of his holes were covered by that Soul Train. Now once he ran out of soul on the other hand.....

Oh right. Rain threw that last game hard against Creator. How could I forget.

StarTale PartinG was good. The new guy is shit.

I remember Parting's PvZ being the most overhyped thing in the world. He soultrained like nobody else but a good zerg would always beat him in a macro game. Rain and Creator hit their three base pushes, the only one who really tried to macro at times was HerO. And he did it extremely well, he got super close but there was no way to win that way back then.
It's paid off for HotS though. He's backkkkkkk

the greatest 4 gate ever imo

I personally root for Rain because the outcry of Protoss if its a TvT final will be insane. I also do not believe in the state of mind of Blizzard so a TvT final might trigger the hammer again, even though the stats show that Terran is currently not overperforming (if anything underperforming as WCG for example shows).
Rain is a Protoss that takes 'no risks' and usually playes it safe putting himself in a disadvantage if the Terran would be greedy, but I like his approach of safe and steady style into macrogames where he knows he shines. Also I do believe he truly is outstanding in the match up from his reaction and defensive stance and isn't blatantly riding on the strength of PRotoss themselves. He was good in WoL, he's still good.
I like Bomber, but for the Terran sake, I hope he gets crushed. :X
(Also I want to see how Maru tries to cheese rain, so maybe I can learn a cheese vs Protoss) :D
