Do you feel an urge to participate in more foreign tournaments from now on?

I've learned more things from playing in international tournaments than I have from practicing at a team house. I want to participate in many of them as long as my body can keep up.


Sorry dude, it's not going to happen if you stay in a KeSPA team.


He'll be at IPL 5, once he makes top 4 in gsl next season.

I could see him as the best protoss player in the world, but certainly not best player in the world. He played very well here, but obviously lost in GSL to MVP and nearly lost to Last.

Were Rain, RorO and BW herO successful in BW? Out of curiosity (never followed the scene).


Here are their brood war stats:

Rain 50%
Roro 49.15%
herO 30.56%

Rain was one of the better rookies (won the award like someone mentioned). He had some good games but wasn't really all that close to the level of any of the more established A teamers (he usually wasn't favored when sent out in proleague, as far as the stream chat went ). He did have some surprise wins here and there though. I liked him.

Roro was solid, never spectacular. Mediocre enough at times to be on everyone's anti in fantasy BW. But good enough to destroy everyone's fantasy team at the same time...THE 50% winrate dude >.> I always thought he was at least a little better than 50 percent, though.

Which hero? If you're talking about hero[join]...I barely remember him from before the most recent hybrid BW/SC2 proleague season..ahah...Just remember him being sent out once in awhile and losing.

Rain was awarded best rookie last year by KeSPa (this refers to his BW career). Players that got the award in the past list guys like EffOrt and a lot of champion material young guys. Rain was definitely a player to watch out for in last seasons of BW, if not BWs most promising young talent. The switch came in the perfect moment for him after gaining momentum in his career and adopting the right mind set from his training with SKT. He is without a doubt one of the most motivated guys to enter the competition from KeSPa.

To put things into perspective, the other two winners of rookie of the year were flash and jaedong.

To be honest, I expected Rain to be an arrogant, greedy player for some reason, but reading this interview completely changed my mind. He seems like a humble, calm guy who plays because SC2 is his passion. Congratulations Rain.

He's been humble in every interview I've read. Always saying he is lucky to be where he is and that he doesn't think he's the strongest player, etc.

Jesus christ. He's so humble. He even accepts the fact that he had an easy bracket and was thankful for that. When it rains it pours !

"But when PartinG said that he would defeat me during his interview, I did become a bit concerned. Fortunately, I was able to win."

I love how Rain says something but clearly means the opposite.

His face when he saw the PartinG interview:

Nearly losing doesn't matter. Losing to MVP is hardly a smudge, he was just playing the day before against Last so MVP could study him
