Practice will probably kill the 2-rax all-in, but 2-rax pressure into expand builds feel very nice and are good for spectators too. | ||

It is not a players job to make things entertaining, this is not the World Wrestling Federation (or WWE as its called now). Is Kobe Bryant suppose to tie one of his hands behind his back so the Laker games are more entertaining? Is Lionel Messi suppose to cut off one of his legs to make Barcelona matches more entertaining? Is Al Pacino suppose to take massive amounts of crack/cocaine so that other actors have a chance to win the Oscars? Was Michael Jackson suppose to stop dancing alltogether in the 80's cause nobody else came close to him? GOM needs to pick or even create better maps that will suit a more entertaining game, and Blizzard simply needs to continue balancing the game so that it keeps improving. If i was Rain i wouldnt say anything, and just focus on winning, not entertaining. "Haters gon' hate" applies to real life too. | ||

1. It is moronic for Rain to not apply early pressure on Nestea. 2. Rain didn't ALL IN on xel naga (one of the more balanced maps). You saw he was expanding and constructing more production facilities while he was at it and slowly out-teching Nestea. He simply outplayed Nestea and Nestea crumbled, then fell behind. 3. Next time GomTV should pick better maps, or get to work on creating a balanced map pool. 4. GomTV should get the pros to start making balance contributions and forwarding it to Blizz. 5. Blizz should stop trying to balance the game around 4v4s or other team games. It is ruining 1v1. | ||

But, I don't respect anyone who does this even on a street fight, I don't even treat that guy as a man and I diss his self respect. And I'm not the only person who has this opinion (come to Turkey and ask anyone who has a self respect about kicking someone in the balls). Same applies for SCV allins as well, at least for me. | ||

Also TSL_Rain tried macro games against Nestea if anyone was actually watching all the game and as they would have noticed it didn't get him anywhere because all Nestea had to do was fly around with the mutas a bit,mass banelings and 1a to victory making Rain look like a chump. Rain may still look like a chump but at least he won and that's all that counts. If you want to see games where people fail trying to simply impress people and throwing away thousands of dollars then what you really want is match fixing so suck it up. he played strategically smart against his macro based opponent. | ||

Although his play is not admirable, you have to give him at least some points for PR. But in terms of e-sports, your play speaks a thousand times more than your words. So if rain shows a long macro series in the Ro4 it would mean a lot more than this public apology. | ||

Learn to play and stop crying about how bad it was to watch. It was Nestea's fault it was bad to watch because he lost early. You have no clue about the game ("super greedy") yet give advice to one of the best zergs in the world. The combination doesn't really work well together. Maybe you shouldn't give advice. Or learn something about the game. | ||

Like someone in this thread alluded to earlier, anything less than going all out to win is simply entertainment, not competition. If i was rain my only statement on the game vs nestea would be "brb spending my money" | ||
