No matter what Maru does, he just can't get people to think he'll do well.
maru's 2BB is like no others. I honestly never saw that failed. Rain is so confident in proleague holding 2BB. Fantasy had tried it all over. The fact that maru's micro really switch the balance of 2BB. And that shakes Rain so hard that he lost control for the next two games.

Basically rain did an all in. In the last 5 games basically , rain has built no more than a few immortals, instead going straight to colossus tech in the first few games. However in this game, instead of going into both colossus tech and a 3rd base, he cut all tech and economy to build only army. After this he had a really really strong army with immortals, zealots, sentries and a stalker or two, so this is Rain executing the 3gate immortal allin.
However in this game maru was able to scout it in time and build a few bunkers at the top of his ramp and so he was able to defend the attack. however rain still 1a'd and moved up the ramp and attempted to bust down maru's natural. but because maru had a lot of bunkers he was able to hold, and then push back and kill of the immortals that rain had built. so then he pushed in and all rain had was 1 colossus that was out of position and he lost his whole army and GG'd out.
man tho sc2 is gonna be a crazy game if it keeps evolving. i feel like its so crazy. omg

Protoss players go full retarded when they get ready to allin.
Is anything on 2 base with 3 gateway considered an "allin" ?
No, the gateways aren't the important part. It's how much time you spent on your Robotics not making Observers or Collosus tech. It leaves you with no AOE damage so the Mass Bio of Terran rapes.

game 3: Failed WM harass into Rain attacking with HTs/Collo in to an 160 degree arc of T units. Perfect EMPs rape him into gg game 4: Maru goes CC into Rax Rax CC Rax into double ups, Rain spotted it. Immo allin was scouted/guessed and got shut down hard with infinity bunkers. gg after maru attacks with the first Medvacs

Game 4 - Rain tried to set up a contain oustide Maru's 3rd, but clutch EMPs and better positioning from Terran roflstomped his army, so he rolled over and die in like 2 minutes from that. Game 5 - Rain did fairly poor all-in off 3 Gates but 3 Bunkers at Maru's natural stopped that cold. Maru defended his greedy opening flawlessly and counterattacked into gg.
