If everybody played like Rain it would be the most boring shit in the world. "I'm just going to defend and take another base" "Then I won't attack and will also take another base." Basically like a korean Thorzain/Hasuobs. The only reason we really see fights in rain games are when other people attack him. It's so boring to watch.


Its actually not completely true. Its correct that rain is macro based player, but in every game so far he did show aggression, be it warpprism harass, stormdrops, dt drops or unit pokes in front. He simply playes less allin and less builds that could result in coinflips. I find his style nice to watch and especially good if you want to learn something about PvT and TvP (I'm Terran)... so yeah, can't agree.


he just went for a DT drop build... not sure what this guy wants... 1base blink stalker every game?

Sort of random, but why are there so many viewers on OGN and so few on GOM?

That was just bad decisionmaking.... land the stupid 3rd CC and plant a turret. Like a single DT stopped a 3rd base from going up for 5min. He can even do the same aggression anyway if he really wants, but he gets a free backup plan with a 3rd CC should it fail.


No way, he doesn't have the saturation to make a third count for anything. He was already stretching his defense too thin, keeping too much army in his main base; he couldn't have expanded the area where he needed to defend his economy without giving up his aggressive position against Rain as well.


from what i could see he wasnt keeping any army in his main base, just defending with rallys when needed. He could have outproduced rain if he landed his third and while working rain with his medivacs. Rain was on 1 base for some time with his third also getting sniped.

Yea, Bomber was in prime position to get a solid macro advantage, but he didnt take it. Instead he wanted to win 2v2 base. And thats the bad decisionmaking part. Yes, it might have slightly hindered his aggression since he should have been making a bunch of more SCVs to saturate the 3rd, but thats a small price to pay for being 3v2 base. Give me half bombers micro and I win from there with a 3rd established.

Did you really believe he will beat Rain? Bomber is - as much as I am a Terran fan - a very tricky pony with timings and play that can throw of players. Rain is as solid as it gets, and doesn't really get thrown off easily. While his weakness is being so chargelot heavy against mass medivac / bio style , scv pulls against him are not very worthy of anything besides in very low-economy games.

I feel a super greedy game would work out best for Bomber because his control is good so he can hit a timing which has storm, but not yet colossus so he can rule supreme with mass medivac +2/1 and lots of bio.

You do know who you are talking to, right? I will always believe in Bomber. I have believed every game. I will always do it.


At least not a fair weather fan t_T But believing and being reasonable are still two different things


Believing as hard as Wintex does in Bomber, for example, isn't always compatible with being reasonable. Same thing when I watch Life play (but then again that's worked out a fair number of times)

Isn't that the point of being a fan? Believing in your team/player even when everything is against you.

I thought being a fan was more about liking gameplay/the player and cheering for him, being unreasonable and unrealistic does not need to be a given.

Evidently good enough


rain usually has really good drop defence but he was quite terrible last game, to be fair its rly hard to deal with 4-5+ medi drops


And as someone already mentioned, star station is a bitch as P vs T with those drops

Look I agree that Rain played well but in what universe did he have good drop defense?


Nah man, did you see how his 2 nexii died to protect his army? It was sick.

GOM is having lag issues and OGN is the host of the tournament so watching OGN is the right thing to do.

Well, he produced a lot of Immortals so I doubt he had the necessary Observer network to see drops coming. This and no anti-air (stalks or HTs) for a while made him vulnerable.

stop the damn balance whine

It never stops with the terrans. One game won by protoss and it's all tears and oh-my-gawd-sc-sucks-blizz-hates-terran

My thoughts exactly. People can't just admit a protoss player is just better. Rain is obviously better.

Stop making it sound like terran players are the only ones to balance whine.

Every single race has balance whiners, they're equally loud and they're equally ignorant. Best way to deal with them is ignore them.


Equally ignorant? The terran ones were painful when WoL was actually broken. Equally is complete nonsense. Especially with people shitting on Rain of all people.
