Ha-ha, and I want Rain to win so the tears from terran whiners like you will flow on and on.
Actually want to see Optimus picked up too, so idk.

Life is the same kind of player. he struggles hard in bo1/3 stages but is unbeatable in a bo5/7 (btw Life never lost a bo5/7 in a lan event) that's the reason why i hate ppl saying things like "Life was just a patchzerg" or "RIP Life he will never come back" but on other hand he won against Bomber 4:2 in Ritmix V and like i said struggles in this bo1 group stages.. 1day this guy will go throw the groupstage and will win his gsl/osl again!! :D
What?
You're aware that Life has nothing to do with this article, correct?
On the real, though, I am so god damn excited for this finals. I really can't decide, though. I'm so torn between these two amazing players, it's just impossible for me to choose. I've always liked Rain, but at the same time, it would be so cool to see Maru win.

Rain with the mothership core will be untouchable until he reaches the late game and we are going to suffer through a horrifying series of games where maru lands 8 EMPs, snipes 16/18 templar and then loses the fight to two storms anyways.
User was warned for this post
Yea, that's why Flash has a 61% winratio in PvT and statisticly his best matchup, just like Taeja's - there are enough Terran's who simply destroy top notch Protoss'

That was amazing.
I think Maru can/will win, but I actually think he'll feel comfortable pulling out macro play rather than just more all-ins. He was canny enough to recognize Innovation's greedy macro play was weak to all-ins, so he should realize that Rain's safe play is weak to greedy macro. Then, when Rain realizes what's up and goes for quick 3 nexus or something, that's when he'll hit with the all-in!

Thats a pretty garbage set of practice partners for Maru's play style. Yes both of those players are probably better then Maru but they are macro kings. They are not know for aggressive early attacks and cheeses. Thats what Rain needs to practice against.
