We'll see. His TvZ's not as good has hers is. And it's Bomber's law.

Scarlett is a foreigner who is getting a lot of praise and her ZvT is actually pretty good

Remember rule number 2 of the Bomber's Law.

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

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.


But Terran is only getting in these positions because of the medivacs, without them he wouldn't even go there. So he is using his units for their intended purpose

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.

or even taeja. taeja was invincible for 2 months, no choking involved.

He already disappointed in WCS KR. Surely he won't disappoint here. Surely this is his tournament.

I'm channeling all my pessimism in Bomber's TvZ to him, maybe he will actually win.

It worked at MLG vs. DRG. ;(

when statements like this start to come out, the point when bombers law comes to effect is nearing.

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.

Mass tempest thing is standard in late game TvP in Korea since some time. They just add few tempests to death ball to force engagements, when terran does not want it. Or force terran to lose units for free.

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.

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.


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

Lol, ofc you can. It doesn't tell you everything but here it's pretty clear TaeJa was ahead on everything (eco, army, ups).
