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.


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.


Is that why Rain was the only protoss to win a PvT in Ro32?


Your missing the point, I'm not saying every protoss does it, I'm saying they could and they should. Instead they chose gimmicky builds a lot of the time that have a much lower success rate than playing this lategame style where you turtle into an army advantage.

Its not a coincidence he was the only person to play like this and get past the ro32

You are severely underestimating the positioning, scouting and reading your opponent that it takes to be as safe as Rain. There are no other Protosses right now that play that well in macro games.

The hard call is on Terrans part. I am on Teamspeak with several Protoss - no one could clearly tell if its a super safe macro build or a timing. Its that hard to make that call, even if you have complete information. I believe Maru should take the risk and go piss greedy, because other than that, he will not win vs a super safe rain.

given the fact that rain even took a 4th i thought it's super safe macro.


Oh you are smart, so after he took his 3rd and then 4th you called its a macrogame? The crucial time is before he takes his third. 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.


Better go sleep, need to cheer for Hasu vs MMA!

welcome to esports

bw didn't have that issue


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.


I wish every event from day 1 had just hid the viewer count, a lot of early MLG's we didn't get this cos we had no idea.

Truly SC2 with condoms. 3rd base at > 13 min mark, after 4 colossi and storm tech started? Vs lesser terrans toss can go for ~11 min 3rd with 2-3 colossi and then go into twilight tech and that's considered safe, but what Rain did was even more bulletproof than that, I don't know what terran can do do cripple him tbh except mass drops with perfect multitasking as well.


Play really greedy? Can't they do that? Go easy on me but my knowledge of TvP is pretty shitty.

Ok! I'm thinking something along the lines of: "Maru is my MarinePrince ♥" if Maru wins this match.


I'll do it, and I'm so confident that I won't even ask you to do anything in return if Rain wins.


You are ruining the fun! Hit me!

Maru was playing very passively himself, taking a rather late third. Of course Rains third will look slower than standard in response to that.

I want some of what you're on. Maru has as much chance of winning three games as Liquid has of winning the international.

If Maru doesn't cheese this is going to be the most boring 4:0 finals ever. Thats why we want him to cheese.
