I hope Rain smashes Bomber 4-0 but it's not gonna have anything to do with protoss being stronger than terran. I just think Rain is the superior player.

It's paid off for HotS though. He's backkkkkkk

Parting is genuinely no better than HerO in my view. Plus I prefer HerO for having the balls to try and play for the lategame against Zerg, if not agreeing with him in terms of a 'results' based, more fun to watch.

HerO vs Leenock on Antiga Shipyard was the most sad I have ever been in SC2 thus far. Not even angry, I had lost the capacity by that point.

You know, I used to only like Bomber a little bit but since mid 2012 he's really grown on me. Rain on the other hand I've been a fan of since BW so I'm a bit biased towards him, SKT has also been doing terrible lately so a OSL win would be nice.

I actually even rooted for Rain over Mvp in the GSL semi finals last year, pretty much the only time I've ever done that.

My favoritism is probably 55-45 in favor of rain.

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

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


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


I disagree, Rain was already better than him then.


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

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


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

the greatest 4 gate ever imo


Best games with a 4 gate in them in no particular order (including both actual games and funny games):

Naniwa vs Goody
MC vs Inca (Actually good)
MC vs White-ra
Creator vs Rain
Yonghwa vs some nerd in GSTL
Choya vs Nestea
Genius vs Hyvaa (He literally just did a 2010 WoL beta 4 gate and won.)

I believe so too, but now think about it again why I don't want Bomber to win. :x

I liked watching Hero slowly kill himself with overaggressive against Sen. Though that might be because China started chanting USA

I still haven't brought myself to watch those games. I can deal with the pain if it's a surprise, but when I know the results beforehand I try not to put myself through it :p

One thing I really enjoy is how you could pick any sOs, Rain or HerO game, don't tell people who's playing and you'd still be able to guess. Parting is similar to Rain I guess except he all ins more and isn't quite as solid imo.

yea the genius vs hyvaa one was funny as shit and I remember MC vs InCa on XNC being pretty good as they were basically the 2 best 4 gaters of the era and both had like 80%+ win rates in pvp in the early days

Parting has a funny intangible that Rain doesn't. Like if Protoss is really really far behind like Parting vs Flash g1 or Parting vs Soulkey g4, he can pull out miracle wins. I've never really seen Rain do that.

Rain has got the cleanest playstyle of all Protoss players. On good days, his play is just beautiful to watch. Especially his PvT is a form of art. I'm also expecting him to win today, but I'm hoping for a close series.
first we make expand, then we defense it.

I suppose they have different approaches to the game. Parting throws out more risky play than Rain, or at least more frequently so he has to really 'YOLO' a bit more often.

Also oh DarkLord, you have a PM

One of these days Artosis is going to keep schtum. Even he will come to fear the power of the curse.
