feel bad for Rain coz I think Rain will not get picked by foreign team.. not because of skill, but because of lack of English.

does he want to move to outside of Korea? He is still code s player I believe and earns $1500 per month.. I just don't understand what he wants.


dunno, mb he wants to see more of the world, mb he just thinks he can make money more easy than in korea because of the sick competition there. who knows...i guess it wont take long until it gets revealed in an interview or something like that

I cant see Rain playing for liquid even though it would be pretty funny.
A team like FXO or a team like that could very well pick him up
i will be interrested to see what will happen with him :p

i dont see any BIG foreigner team take him...mb a team like sixjax, millenium,complexity (if they can afford it)....because teams like EG, mouz, dignitas have already better players than him....ofc rain is a more or less solid terran, but i can list 15 foreigners, who are better than him, here. and i dont see a european team taking him, because europe already has a sick shitload of baller terrans. so i doubt that any european team will make this huge investment (working on the language barrier etc.) i dont know any european team who hasnt already some sick terrans.mb millenium :D

but i would love to see him join eg, while idra is raging about it ("this skilless noob without selfrespect?! cmon ur kiddin, his mechanics suck! what shall i train with him? im already good at defending 2 rax scv allin!" j/k )





15 foreigners?

I know I shouldn't feed these guys, but I can't pass up this opportunity for a good laugh, so I'll bite.

Go ahead, wanna see your list.


feed what kind of guys? trolls? newbs? haha lol

idra,jinro,huk,naniwa,thorzain,dimaga,whitera,kiwikaki,morrow,select,sjow,sen,kas,hasuobs

ok 15 was just a guess, but hey this 14 here are as good as 15 and i have the feeling i forgot 1 or 2 players. these guys i listed are better than tsl_rain, some of them clearly, some just a bit.
now keep it shut you troll


Lol im pretty sure that half of those arent better than Rain, probably more than half ;p
And i'd even be willing to bet money on that.


Darkforce's opinion is a lot more meaningful than gwaihir's hate for Rain. DF actually has experience playing against many of those players and a greater understanding of the game/high level play. Also, would you really put players who couldn't qualify for Code A/Stay in Code S superior to Rain? Quite hard to make that assessment without being irrationally opinionated.

Rain is also very capable of playing macro games quite well as demonstrated with his games vs MVP and even as long ago as S3, versus MC in the finals (the Lost Temple game is a good example). He may not of had won, but he did demonstrate that he is still quite strong in macro-oriented games. Pretty good Macro + excellent cheese + a pocket full of timing-attacks makes him quite the scary player to face and all the more unpredictable since he is so well-versed.


hate?? wtf....mb read first? i never said he is bad, i just said there is a good bunch of foreigner which are better....thats not hate mr. troll. and about ur gsl code a thingy...its no secret that code a is actually SO DAMN HARD, that you also need a good amount of luck on your side, even the best can fail there. if u would follow gsl, you would know

You don't need luck to win Code A, you need skill lol.



is this forum full of trolls?
dude, i said "ALSO" not "only"


Thanks for the laugh. And I won't bother answering the PM you sent me lol...

I seriously wonder what it takes to be that dumb. Cold data means a lot more than your opinions dude.

which data?
in this whole thread there wasnt even a litte bit of data which argues against my oppinion.just other oppinions :D.... but hey, nice try


Cold, hard data:
Rain was a GSL finalist in S2
Got code S dropped to code A, and then regained code S status. As far I remeber he is the only one to do that

Your frickin opinion which no one gives a shit about:
"idra,jinro,huk,naniwa,thorzain,dimaga,whitera,kiwikaki,morrow,select,sjow,sen,kas,hasuobs" are better than Rain

gimme a break. Match accomplishment by accomplishment and you get = none of them has accomplished more so far. None.

Not saying there aren't anyone better than rain among these guys though, there may be a couple, maybe 5, which could be argued based on recent performances and such. Anything beyond that is pure fanboysm.

I can't believe I'm taking the time to answer your idiotic posts dude. I should know better than this sigh...

i get ur point, but you know...most i mentioned didnt even go to korea and try, so you have data vs. no data because they were never there...sure thats proof enough :D:D....and thats the problem all oppinions about that are not proofable, because they never competed vs eachother in a league.
thats why i also said in a recent post "could be wrong, could be not"

and when rain was in the final he cheesed through and then got crushed...back then he was way worse than now...now he is a sick baller. so you should pick better examples...

Already have Phoenix, so there is the language issue largely mitigated.

rain should probably join either ST or oGs if he wants to do mroe foreign events
I asked my friend how the ratio at a party was, he replied. "Let's just say for every guy there was two dudes."

I really wonder how he intends to overcome the language barrier. Unless Rain knows more English that we've come to know, joining a foreign team is going to be pretty difficult. Anyone that mentions SEn as a counterexample should note that he actually speaks pretty good English.

Rain was born in 1993, he has plenty of room to improve.
