Nah that was just HerO gambling hardcore vs a much better player than him.

LOL get out of here. Both of their builds were gambles. Rain's gamble was hoping he had no detection, and HerO's gamble was hoping he didn't go DTs

Rain's build is an extremely common and safe PvP build. You don't need to do any damage with it, it's just a tool to let you expand safely.

Right and three gate blink is unheard of and SUPER risky.

Only used by the inferior player.

Making a hallucination with the Sentry at that time was very risky, yes. If he stayed up his ramp and pushed out a bit later then it would have been safe because he would have FFd the ramp.

HerO's build DOES account for DTs. But that pylon outside his base HAD to make him save the forcefield in case of 3gate pressure.

Basically what Apollo is saying atm.


I disagree. Fast expansion which is greedy to begin with as it could already lose against 3gate pressure due to lack of forcefields and rushing the twilight council after is in fact nothing short of a gamble. Dark templar is actually quiet a solid opening even though it doesn't deal damage most of the time.

This DT build is a pretty specific build and is perfectly fine vs 3 Gate Pressure, you can even hold 10 Gate 3 Gate with it sometimes. Ask your Protoss friends if you don't want to trust a random person on TL :D.


Yeah, it holds 3 gate pressure just fine. What it's really got trouble against is a 1gate expand into robo. That's basically the hardest counter there is to it.

Exactly, but it's fine because despite being slightly behind you got away with expanding. Such a safe good build . Rain especially doesn't mind expanding later than usual because he is confident in his skill. Although there is shit like Gate Robo Gate Gate with heavy pressure which lets you have an Observer in your and their base in time for DTs which is the hardest of hard counters, but only works if you're like 100% expecting them to do the super DT build.

If he hadn't hallucinated then he'd have been completely blind and that's a surefire way to lose. You can't make any decisions in PvP if you're blind. He can't move out, he doesn't know what tech he needs, does he need units? Nah, he needed to do that. It was super smart by Rain and HerO got caught with an unlucky build matchup that Rain made even worse by delaying the hallucination scout

MVP v MKP is a bigger pool of games though right?

sure but I mean I feel like once you get to 10 games it's pretty obvious that you're getting the beat down consistently and not by luck or unfortunate coincidence, especially in the matchup most called a coinflip

aligulac shows rivalries now, what are the most lopsided korean ones? lol

actually dw i think i got it, it's hero vs. his nerves

Idk that's up there but is it more than Startale vs teamleague hype?

I guess now we will see if his overall form dropped from Asus or was he just messed up in that 1st game.

Thing is, you can't look good with mech vs Protoss, even if you're in top shape.

I am leaning towards Forgg too. Hope he goes heavy drop. Seems like Hyun is not as good as he used to be at multitasking.
