I was talking about the next round, since I'm banking that Scarlett's ZvT will be enough to make quick work out of her opponent.

It's not dumb. It's not figured enough by somebody in a consistent manner yet.

TaeJa was ahead from the start, very ahead. The 3rd base of Rain was even more delayed than its usually so what do you expect. It would need a huge blunder to blow that lead. Rain usually puts himself behind in macro games to have safety early and midgame because he knows Protoss is strong in lategame and he is especially with his templars. But that also does mean that any advantage early/midgame and delay to his 3rd thats late to begin with hurts him.

Also if you play greedy you can have a lot more than him. On the other hand, what you say just shows you don't know stuff about TvP

Indeed: income graph, army value graph. Blue = TaeJa, red = Rain.

Rain's account is a 40-4 Gold by the way. He left two games, lost a Cannon rush and apparently failed a proxy 10/10 vs Zerg.

Dem toss tears

Seriously, TvP is still Bioball + Ghosts + Vikings vs Colossi + HT + some gate units since forever, and it's not imbalanced in any way.


I agree. But it is really boring to watch. The matchup really hasn't changed from WOL, except that early aggression is riskier for both sides.

You can't look at income or army graphs to show who is ahead in a non-mirror.

He was quite ahead, but Rain was not that far and was closing it up. Now it doesn't change anything to his point anyway.


Can play that game as well. Having huge lead over Protoss, still forced to retreat from the engagement while Protoss would have stomped. QQ much? As said, he is wrong.

His point is that terran CAN do that. If protoss is in the same spot it's pretty hard to retreat like this.

i meant hots, of course, it's quite redundant talking about wol now when we know the game was left broken for over a year :/
There is no such thing is "e-sports". There is Brood War, and then there is crap for nerds.

it's also no secret that neither zealots nor colossi can't shoot up. build next to no AA and wonder why the enemy can elevator away? protoss logic whine.

Recall-_-? Next to no anti-air, no blink. As said, he was way behind that allows Terran to "retreat easily"

I wonder why their accounts get placed in gold. To my knowledge winning all placements places you in platinum, not gold. Maybe they leave games in placements or smth?

Except for that mass tempest thing earlier. But I guess he was so far ahead he could have gone mass phoenix and lifted individual marines.

Innovation had the top spot for the longest period of time? more like one of the shortest times of a player everyone thought was gonna win everything. when did you start following sc2? 6 months ago?

the names Mvp, Nestea, MC ring a bell?

Innovations period of dominance involved looking invincible for about a month, during which he choked incredibly vs soulkey and almost again vs Mvp. He has nothing on the names you listed above or rain or drg.
