No matter how it ends, this season has and will be remembered as Rain's Season.
Like Tinkerbelle, I leave behind a sparkly residue.

about 60k players in korea/taiwan ladder currently http://sc2ranks.com/stats/league/fea/1/all
http://www.gametrics.com/news/News02_View.aspx?seqid=8095 starcraft1 ( 스타크래프트) currently about 6x more popular in bc-bangs that makes 360k minus lot of the taiwan players
but since sc1 has been on quite a large decline lately, i guess about year ago 600k would be pretty accurate number of SC1 players, probably some article stated that number and it catched on as your average starcraft 1 player amount in korea

edit: or he just meant out of 6 billion like stated above

I don't speak or read Korean, but the number in the original is 60억, and Google Translate renders 억 as "one hundred million". My guess is that Rain meant 6,000,000,000 and he was thinking of the number of people in the world.

Yeah. I also think this may be the case. I made an error in the translation.

oh the jokes I could make right now

Go Rain!

So many opportunities thrown at him altogether all too sudden, hope he continues to believe in himself as he goes for the big titles.

I have a lot of respect for Rain!
He is playing fantastic and even despite the disadvantages, he can turn it around so quickly! I am rooting for him to win GSL and the OSL! I hope he can take at least 1 of the 2!
Good luck Rain!

With this, I am officially backing Rain in both OSL and GSL. Who I wanted to win GSL was entirely conditional on how well Rain did, and he's doing really, really well.

That's a pretty sick comeback being down 0-3. I imagine Rain is going to win at least either GSL or OSL I imagine.
When I think of something else, something will go here

by.Sun has the same mentality we saw in Stork when he was young and fresh to the BW scene. I think age plays a big factor here in his adapting to SC2. Along with his outstanding skill he really is quite amazing.

I'm glad that last year around the start of the year (and even 2010) me and the other 20 or so users who understood how good KESPA players were when compared to the B teamers and... foreigners? said that KESPA players would start to dominate very quickly in SC2 because of how bad everyone really is happens to be happening. I'm glad foreigners are being phased out again, they don't spend nearly enough time playing.

The elephant has been real this whole time, and it was obvious to anyone who watched BW compared to SC2 players. Most foreigner SC2 players are simply garbage and the rest mediocre with the exception of Stephano and a few others.

Issue with MVP is that... Well he's always 50/50 odds or above 50/50 to win any match against anyone. He's proven it time and time again. I would call it even and be interested to see who wins.

I'm expecting Taeja to study up a bit on Rain, and have a little more preparation for the hardcore lategame Templar drop harass. He'll probably get more missile turrets and whatnot. Also since it is a best of 7 so I expect him to throw in some shinanigan's, which hopefully Rain will be better prepared for than in this series.

All in all though I HOPE, regardless, that it ends up being a totally awesome mind blowing series!! :D

Hmm true, even though he's really good, I got a feeling that MVP is going to crumble a little easier than Last did. He always manages to provide entertaining games though, and has pulled off upsets before, so it's anyone's game.

The problem is it is really hard to prepare against Rain. Rain's strength is waiting to engage at the right moments. And drop harass is just a free advantage for him. He doesn't need drops to win. As long as he can move in position fine then he will win. And from the last matches it looked like he could force those against Taeja. Sun just has better map awareness.
