DRG beat him, but im sorry Sheth, you're no DRG. He made idra fail hard and if i remember correctly, idra dominated sheth in a showmatch. Sheth doesn't like ZvT as much as ZvP, so Puzzle was a MORE favorable matchup. However, the result is still a loss

im really not that impressed with most blink stalker play. unless you're bronze or afk during battles, blink stalker micro (on the whole) is incredibly easy and effective. It's nothing like the micro that was involved in BW or Warcraft 3.

Puzzle looked very strong in the MMA series, and played very well again in this.

Loved Puzzle's play! 
Wtf was he spamming to get up to 770 APM though? Jesus Christ.

Even with my terrible Platinum skills I know that holding mass blink Stalkers with Roaches is a losing battle. yeah I don't think Hydra would be enough, I don't think there is anything he could have done. It just seemed so OP ><

Puzzle is a freaking monster. I hope this guy keeps this up.

I feel Sheth lost the momentum the moment he lost the first batch of overlords and got supply blocked.

Attacking your opponent is not all in. He could have transitioned into templar tech with those 8 gates if he felt his stalker attack was failing.

Well now we get more of vanvanths PvP in the round of 8 :D ... D:

Lol is this a joke? he didint have the gas to get the infestor pit or time. But blink stalker or balanced rgiht? So answer is that sheth just isnt as good as puzzle clearly. he had 1200 gas banked He had everything required to get the infestors, he just decided to not get them. Imagine a couple of roaches less and 2-3 fungals on the blink stalkers. Guess who would have won then?
You're pretty silly, kid. He spent all his minerals on roaches and barely lost the fight after a 4-5 minute exchange. Take even a small portion of the minerals he spent on roaches and he would've lost that in 30 seconds. Get real rofl.

WOW i learnt a lesson, i guess im not good enough!

Uhm... MMA's TvZ is insane.. Sheth's best matchup is ZvP, a P beats the monster TvZer that MMA is, allowing Sheth to play his best MU..
.. how can someone supporting Sheth NOT be happy about that?

Would be cool if hatcheries had a third rally point for queens and overlords.

Thats ridiculously excessive for what was going on; nothing to do at home for the toss since he was all in, and blink micro doesn't take nearly much apm, especially Puzzl'es blink micro (blinking back groups larger than he needed to, and not one by one) I could justify that apm if Puzzle was literally blinking back stalkers 1 by 1 with that many stalkers but jesus...spam moar Puzzle >_> Having to go back to pylon to warpin units, then re-rally them on top of blink micro as well as microing the stalkers that have blink on cooldown, yeah, I could see him hitting 500 APM.
There is nothing really to spam, he is not boxing his mineral line, it is just pure micro

Puzzle is actually really damn good. New Protoss hero?! (Hey, we're desperate for Korean Protoss.)
Still makes me sad that no one has really figured out how to play Protoss without timing attacks though.

Why are some of you acting like he was blinking stalkers at 550apm. He was just spaming a shitload.
