Do Rain and ZeLoT know that tens of thousands of middle-aged men outside Korea have a vested interest in their late night ladder matches? And that it is all we look forward to? No matter the outcome, it would be baller to crowdfund a boX between these two! Looking forward to the finale of this epic saga

This 14 game series is my favorite thing out of this channel so far. These are so many fast, snappy games, with so many different build variations. They keep playing each other, so they're both preparing, and adapting to what the other guy is doing. So even though it's cheesy Rain can kind of expect it will be coming. Seriously what a gem you found here! I'm going to learn some of these builds! Seriously, I didn't know 3 hatch hydra had so many different potential follow ups. So cool to see.

Fun fact about Rain: Both major tournaments he has won (1 ASL 1 KSL) were against another Protoss in the finals
@uxie61777 ай бұрын
Protoss vs Zerg has (or at least had) the lowest WR (not by a huge margin just like ~1%) of the Race Vs Race at ASL for a reason I guess. The second game with him still killing Rain despite an extremely early scout just shows how messed up the hydra kill threat is.

The amount of games lost to ling and hydra busts feels crazy, I expected like 2-3 but if a smart top player can’t consistently defend against these pushes then maybe I’ve been coping and they’re more imba than I thought and it’s not just a mid-level skill issue, lol

I don't play Protoss, so there is probably some nuance I don't understand, but I really don't get why when tosses see infinite hydras at their front they still go forward with making sairs and cut all zealot production. It felt like Rain could have held a couple more of these rushes with like 2-3 more zealots or even like 2 goons produced after a large amount of hydras showed up at the front.

He needs a sair to see when Zerg cuts hydra production. Besides without sair, you only see, what Zerg allows you to see.
@helloken8 ай бұрын
Rain goes same build every single time not respecting the possibility of another ling all-in. I don't think that ling all-in can be held with gate -> nexus -> forge -> cannon -> cyber core -> cannon which is what Rain does at least on that second to last game. Perhaps the build needs to be adjusted to gate -> nexus -> force -> cannon -> (decision based on what is seen) If there is a heavy ling flood and wall is damaged: second cannon If there is not a heavy ling flood: continue the build as normal (i.e. cyber core) Perhaps another option is to cut probes to get the cyber core and second cannon faster. Interesting...wish we had a game where this variation is tried or otherwise the build is adjusted to hold the ling all in after same opening build order...

feels like when you fight zealot you gonna need to assume the dude is going to go all in so you will have to be ready to overcommit on the defense.

The decisions of the "smartest protoss player in the world" seem to be quite strange in the zerg-win games. He saw the hydra coming and... almost ignored it until it was too late. He saw high link production but his defense was not ready anyways. It looked very strange. Maybe he expected that once he scouted the tech, Zelot would have changed his plans. But this player is mostly extremely agressive - it is just his style. And anyways usually the huge problems with rush are related with unexpected adversary actions, but here it was not really the case. So, either this player is not as bright as Artosis sais, or his skills are not high enough for the top level.

To be fair, it kinda seems to me that Rain is playing this as if he didn't know that he's going to be facing cheesy ling allins and 3 hatch hydras and is still trying to cut corners where possible, just for practice. I think in real tournament setting he would play around Zelot's style more heavily and the score would be way more Rain favored, which is why Rain is always in ro24 ASL and Zelot isn't

In the 2nd game,I don't get it why Rain didn't make more cannons after the first one. Didn't he expect another all in attack after the first one? He really late just started the 2nd cannon which had no chance to finish. Or was he too much down on resources? I have the idea that if he immediatly started other cannons he would have hold the stand.

Yo @Artosiscasts, Maybe a stupid question but why do players who play 14 games against each other do Ling/Hydra all ins? I assume they don't care about there Ladder ranking. Is this just for practice a specific build? Wouldnt it be reasonable to go into a proper macro game more often? What is the reasoning for this? You could argue that rain only does forge or Gateway expands as well, is this just because, this Is the meta and you have to play like that? Obviously huge noob here :)
