He's sick man. Could might as well be THE best korean protoss imo, although he's pvp seems a little bit shaky.

You got that totally wrong. PvZ is his strongest match-up; much more so than even PvP where MC feels also agrees that it's a bit lucky at times.

If Sen plays standard, he really will get 3-0'd. Watch MC make people cry about imba after the match is over.

So this so called "16th seed" made it to the final.
I feel sorry for Ret.


Yea, not Puma's fault at all, he's playing awesome, but the league championship should have been closed to league members only. Otherwise there's not much incentive to be in the league.


First off, Ret would have had to beat him, or a very good player at some point. With how Ret played there were probably only 4-5 players he was going to beat out of the 16 so if it wasn't out in the first round it would have been the 2nd.

Also, in the league you are competing for 15 possible spots. Not in the league you are trying to fight through a massive talented open bracket that is single elimination for 1 spot. I don't think it takes a rocket scientist to figure out that you'd want to be in the league, not to mention the notoriety of having weekly matches broadcast which makes sponsors happy and helps grow your name and brand.

Bah, shouldn't have even responded to comments. Either you aren't thinking through anything, or I'm getting trolled. Either way wasn't worth the time.
it sets a bad precedent though

if puma wins then other pros will be like oh well i'm not going to waste my time playing in the league i'll just play in the open and if i can beat everyone in that, then i'll be unstoppable in the tournament

you have to understand there's a finite number of hours in the day, and NASL is a huge time-sink for no potential reward, time that could better be spent streaming or playing in smaller cups


Actually that is a horrible way to think of it and NO pro would think that way. The NASL isn't a time sink, it is 1 day a week and a BO3. You are WAY better off playing in the NASL, for a chance at 50k, plus publicity which will grow your streams, brands, lessons for players, etc. than winning a bunch of 100-500 dollar cups. Just being on the NASL and seen, getting interviewed, hyped each week, etc. that is all a big deal. I think if you asked all the NASL players if they benefited from being in the league, even the ones that didn't win much, they'd all say def. I bet if you asked them, "Hey you can play in the league again, OR try to win a single elimination open bracket full of Koreans and other top gamers, which would you like to do?"

Seriously, read through what you actually wrote, It doesn't set a bad precedent at all. If anything it might have players who think they are better than Puma try to get into the league, so they would have an easier shot at securing 1 of those 15 spots and win the whole thing.

And just because you win the open doesn't mean you'll be unstoppable at an event that has some of the best talent in the world. He just happens to be playing really well.


it is a huge time sink for the top players like mc and naniwa. those people get invited to all the best tournies anyways and they have to wake up at odd times and play with latency (a huge disadvantage that becomes apparent when even class A koreans dominate lans)

Id say nasl is great for not so well known players because they get to expose themselves but itd be foolish to not see how it could be annoyingly long for some people.


It's a few hours ONE day a week for players that spend a ridiculous amount of time practicing the game anyway. The total time invested in the league for the benefits ... people just think of it to black and white. Gaining fans, popularity, etc. it all adds to your personal value. It is well worth a few hours one day a week. That isn't a time sink, learn what a time sink is. Go talk to MMO players, they know all about time sinks.

I do and sort of hope he does althought darkforce winning it would be epic on a whole different level.


Why would it be? They're both foreign Zergs.


Sen and IdrA and MorroW are pretty much the only really known foreign zergs

Nerchio, Dimaga, Darkforce, etc are all good but have not stood out and are not talked about much right now

Darkforce would be an underdog win


Ah, I suppose that would indeed add to the epicness. Though I'm pretty sure Dimaga is on a whole different level of fame than Nerchio and Darkforce.


Indeed, Dimaga has more fame then sen and morrow.. his aggresive builds in the beta and early sc2 and also his achievements in bw give him that fame.

I think if Dimaga was to go and join a korean team, and change his aggresive style to similar to moon or julyzerg he could be winning so much right now..


Whose on Dimaga's team now anyways (it still is mtw right?)?

I think people bandwagon hop a bit too often. Puma's had a good run, that doesn't make him the best Terran in the world. MMA won MLG then got hammered in GSL. Puma may win NASL but he hasn't made much impact in GSL either.

MVP's lost a lot of his shine, but I still think at his best he's the current Terran President.


Got hammered? He made it to the ST Finals... that's pretty impressive. And then he proceeded to lose to a very strong Toss player in his worst matchup. Not really indicative of anything at all.


MMA got hyped up too soon. Sure he owned a bunch of foreigners at MLG but he got 4-0'd in the ST by Polt . in addition he let his team down in the recent GSTL. I can't remember what else but there have been a few others..in fact I have not witnessed MMA winning a match since MLG Columbus.


he beat ryung and MKP coming back from columbus in the super tournament

Well, apparently, I was wrong, but I can assure you, his PvT is very good. He was Terran Killer before he was Kratos.

naniwa and huk beat him in pvp tho, its impossible to call mc on his weakest matchup they shift so fast and he has such a high win rate in all of them.

wait since when did PvZ become his weakest matchup?


since his PvP and PvT are just godly, it's the only one left.


Well considered as a whole, his PvP has been the best, and then his PvZ, and his PvT. His PvT used to be godly in season 3, or so i heard, although it got worse for a while. His PvP has gotten worse since the warpgate nerf, while his PvZ has consistently remained dominant, despite the current state of the game favoring Z over P (or maybe that's not the case I don't really know too much lol).

MC lost in Dreamhack and then GSL to bomber, who probably has the second best TvP after Poltimus. I would say that with the way Puma is playing, he and MC will be about equal, provided MC makes it to the finals. I have to say, however, that MC is on another level in PvZ right now, and I think that it will takes the likes of a Nestea or Losira to beat him in the matchup. He's probably undisputably the best PvZer currently. He's completely innovated the matchup so many times, and from MLG Columbus and since, he's still kept the lead. I'm slightly favoring the bosstoss in this tournament, but I'm definitely not counting out Puma, the guy's on a huge roll, and was hecka good already.

sadly inca beat mc in ro4 last GSL,

I would bet Nestea 4-2 MC
