IntoTheRainbow: The Reaver Hero

The Reaver drop, quite possibly the most famous Protoss strategy used against Terran. This strategy has been around since the beginning of competitive play in StarCraft. It quickly became one of the most used strategies for the Protoss to use against Terran, and even Zerg. It was a great manuever, a quick in and out, guerilla style used to kill mass SCV's and get yourself ahead in terms of macro. Some players could create miracles with the Reaver and Shuttle alone. Players like IntoTheRainbow quickly fell in love with this strategy, using this strategy almost every game.

Kim Sung Jae, aka IntoTheRainbow is known best for his amazing Shuttle and Reaver control. He drove fear into the hearts of Terran players everywhere. A simple drop of the Reaver meant destruction to any economy in the hands of Rainbow. Kim Sung Jae won games with the Shuttle and Reaver alone. He was dangerous with any high tech unit, especially the High Templar and Dark Templar. His storm drops against GoodFriend, like quick and steady jabs, were pure genius and examples of some of the best High Templar control the audience has ever seen. His clever repertoire with his trademark unit, the Reaver, gained him the title of 2006 Korea E-Sports Award for Best Display of Talent & Skill.

One commentator stated, "It seems that the reaver, when conjured up by Protoss users, only listens to Rainbow perfectly. He is its true owner."

Though recently, Rainbow has slipped off the radars into the forgotten abyss of old school pro gamers. He failed to qualify for the last two MSL's and last two OSL's. Rainbow's only win in Proleague was in a 2v2, and his record in 1v1 is 0-2. He doesn't play often either, but when Rainbow does play, he has quite the crowd and always has the biggest banners.
