And the landscape of players has totally changed since than,Rain has gone from being 2nd in the GSL finals to loosing in 1st round every GSL since and bearly holding on to code S and soon to fall out of it completely when the next influx of Sc 1 pros comes in. | ||

He was massively ahead all he had to do was defend a little bit and get double evo going into hive, instead he threw away his entire army into the sieged position of MMA and lost an attrition battle afterwards. Not that great a game imo. I agree. i actually thought MMA showed more skill in the semi final ace match against sCfoU on metal. that game was way more impressive than this one, although TvT rather than TvZ. | ||

Not that great a game imo. From a zerg point of view you are right. But there he actually either had to transition into roach/BL/Ultra or kill him with supermass zerglings once he hit 74 drones. There is really no way to play against terran in the late game with lings, even on metalopolis. Once Terran gets upgrades, lings just melt and before the next wave of lings come out you find terran sieged between you'r bases. | ||

They may not have the brains or wit of Tastosis, but they sure aren't afraid to show enthusiasm. It's in those heart-gripping moments like the DRG/MMA game that they win you over with their sincerity. true that. A lot of ppl might have been annoyed with moletraps bouncing up and down and giddiness when the final game was coming up, but i find it refreshing to see a castor remove himself from the part a little bit and show that he's almost as much a part of the audience as everyone else watching, and that overall he can't wait to see the most epic game possible | ||

His out-of-this-world snipe took out MVP's second best player and then he destroyed Violet, one of MVP's Code S players. If he didn't show up, MVP probably rolls over them if MMA can't win a few in a row. I dont know if MVP is the right title, but i think GuineaPig deserves special mention here; his mere presence forced teams to alter their strategies. Playing a random makes you send one of your top players whos an all rounder rather than a specific matchup guy, which takes away your option to hold back your best till the end. Not only that but he played well, took down games and, not just on the virtue of being a random, showed some interesting games. Id still say MVP goes to MMA, with Dong a close second, but GuineaPig was brilliant too IMO. | ||

He had a fast +2+1 when bio was stil +1+1. But he kept +2+1 the whole game, and when marines have a +2 differential between atk and ling armor, it's a carnage, DRG needed at least +2 armor. And same with the mutas, +2 armor required. | ||

Who saw the vikings move over to the Gold? Turret placement? Perfect. Just enough Marines left at the Gold, WHILE dropping on the 5th expo, WHILE repositioning tanks for the Baneling counter. MMA showed the sickest multitasking I have ever seen. Once the Gold was defended and the tank got that Infestor, it was over. | ||

It's easy to have sick viking timing when one of your drops scouts a greater spire 2/3 done. Both players played pretty well, though they both also made some mistakes. The better player won IMO. | ||

Rain did quite well in his up & down though.. playing 2 good games against Mvp and eventually thrashing the not so great Rainbow.. I expect to see Rain around longer than Rainbow | ||

Now if in 6 months these guys still sound exactly like that then I will start getting quite annoyed. Until then though Im happy to listen to them improve together. | ||
