because the western community accepted right from the get go that it was going to be small, sc2 is completely different and in a completely different age of expectations. | ||

Its not a coincidence he was the only person to play like this and get past the ro32 You say that like every Protoss can easily do what Rain does. It's not as easy as Rain makes it look, especially at their level of competition. | ||

The difference between an allin timing and safe macro really is just +2 / +3 gates or the nexus. Before he puts down the 3rd nexus, you cannot know. Thats the hard part. Obviously if he puts it down at 13:30 its macro, but how the hell do you know beforehand. As mentioned, the correct response would be greed / early 3rd and 4th for Terran but he will hit the timing if he spots it. i'm sorry. i haven't slept this night. I thought you were talking about a 3base timing. haven't seen 2base timings on progames in a while. | ||

Why anyone thinks Protoss is supposed to be played a different way is beyond me, its almost unbeatable. [/QUOTE] That's because Rain is simply better than every toss by a significant amount. His control, multitasking and most importantly positioning make him such a tough nut to crack. [/QUOTE] Most Protoss could have done that exact game rain just played, at least the ones in Korea. Most korean protoss easily have the mechanics to play that style. In fact, going for any aggression as protoss can be more taxing mechanically. He literally sat in his base just macroing up, never had to defend against any drops because his build was airtight with the late 3rd base.[/QUOTE] Is that why Rain was the only protoss to win a PvT in Ro32?

True but the timing has always been as such. so... SC2 has lower numbers now. It is a fact we all have to deal with until something is done | ||

The game was on Maru to do something, but he had Ghost out too late and didn't make sure to keep the Pylons clear around the map. I think this series is going 6 games, but Maru will need to up the aggression on the turtle-favoring maps if he wants to force Rain out from his safety net. Hmm sorry but that doesn't make much sense to me. Up the aggression on turtle-favoring maps? If anything he should play as greedy as he can. | ||

It's hard to feel as good about a win when every scrub in the world comes here to tell how Rain is nothing special and everyone and their mother could have done it. | ||
