No this is a disgusting PvT, painful to watch such passive rain style. Then again, its always his style.


I personally love watching Rain play.

It is so smart and safe and he always knows what is going on with his observer play.

When you combine solid builds, constant knowledge and great execution you get a fantastic player like Rain.

Seems as though if polt had somehow saved his ghosts in that engagement instead of losing them to the colossus, the game could have been a lot different

What is he supposed to do against sensor tower/Pf and Polt running a squad into his bases any time he tries to move out? Please.

Exactly, this was Polt's downfall

Polt was never floating high in gaz or minerals after having trade his main army.


Don't bother. He'll nitpick at everything, even with contrary evidence, and then side-step into other arguments as if having made a point.

Any pro should not use this hotkey i think.

I didn't think anyone used it above diamond

almost all z pros use it all the time, majority of t players too, check the fp-streams. Protoss obviously is the most demanding in terms of static defense, p players should rarely use it.

Even someone like stephano, who's hardly known for being mechanically gifted (with 4 fucking hotkeys total) didn't select his entire army with that button. I don't watch a lot of streams though to be fair, so maybe most z pros use it. Doubt it though

But that's retarded.
I play Terran myself and i can't see how the ''select all unit'' can be useful.
By using that all your drops are gonna go full retard, any kind of multiple front attack you have prepared will not work, also it messes up unit priority (selecting ghost before bioball first ).
Lastly you always need a few marines at home to defend against drops or whatever.

Terran doesn't work like Zerg or Protoss, you know.

It's funny how people don't realise you cant just make 25 barracks with reactors and pump out 50 marines at a time

Bomber comes pretty close.

i admit it's the most solid play. Just not that entertaining. Saturated on 3 based, built an unbreakable army and take one base at a time, then push out, regardless of how terran response.
I prefer hero Hero or MC's play much better.

It is not that surprising. It didn´t even exist till HotS. Every single player that has played longer time has not used "select all army units" most of their career.

well that's wrong reasoning, professional players are effectively obligated to use new features if they're somehow useful. I don't use it (because pride!!), but it's quite useful for gathering reinforcements for example, or selecting all the swarmhosts on the map etc. etc.

He must know something I don't then, cause ling/hydra/ultra/infestor/queen simply doesn't work with 1 hotkey

It's not a matter of nitpicking lol It's pointing out mistakes when ppl say "omigawd polt played puurfect nothin else he cud do toss OPOPPOP", which is silly. And I'll often move on from arguments, yes. Unlike most ppl in the internet, I don't keep arguing against people who I know will never listen because they're so locked in their blinded ways tbh.

Anyway who isn't kidding themselves knwos that, while TvP is extremely tough, Rain was the better player with lesser mistakes that match and Polt made critical mistakes which eventually led to his loss.
