soooo.... didn't puma have an easier road to the finals than every other player?

is the open tournament returning next season? if so, enter if you want to face weaker players to increase your chance of making the finals.

Do you even have facts to back up your statements?

PuMa went through aLive, Clide, and NightEnd in bo3. That is just the playoff bracket. He also took out numerous opponents in the open bracket such as Dimaga. Refer to (Wiki)Open Tournament

It's really disgusting how ignorant some people are. Also you can't lose any series or you're eliminated from the Open Tournament.

Why do people keep saying he beat Dimaga? Dimaga got a deffloss...

i'd like to chalk it up to the first day being 8 bo3s but in truth the disparity is probably due as much to improvements in the technical department resulting in less bitching

I guess what they are saying is that PuMa played 2 days to qualify and than won it all and the others went through a 6-7 month qualification league with dozens of matches which they had to prepare for. I was rooting for PuMa but I really think the system isn't that good.

Man, Puma was the first terran I've ever seen make full use of ghosts. I'm really scared as protoss now, templar don't seem viable late game any more.

ThorZaIN been doing it for awhile..check out game 4 MC/Thor of TSL or their match ups in MLG. Templar are very viable you just have to spread, micro and have vision, watch same games or everything but game 1 of this series.

day 1 had more games casted + an abundance of issues that got addressed in some form in day 2 and 3

sure there was complaining today about stuff like incontrol + gretorp casting the finals etc today but day 1 imo had more issues and people were more vocal about it. things off the top of my head: too long player intros, sound issues, delay due to projector malfunction, long time in between sets

cant help but agree there lol, much better quality in day 3, still wasnt perfect but its a step in the right direction and heres hoping next seasons finals run perfectly, cos i personally really enjoyed the game play, would hate to see that high quality of play ruined by bad production again

I still cant believe MC blow it, but oh well I guess its hard. ThorZaiN and PuMa both plays that kind of TvP with mass bio with many many ghosts that just emp the shit out of everything. I think MC should had gotten HT/Storm earlier.

At work the next day and still buzzing from last night - was an awesome final. The level at which MC and PuMa were playing was incredible - the highest I've seen.

Can't wait for MLG!

Excellent & awesome.

Gretorp is an awesome commentator... what's the problem?

I really think Gretorp stepped up for the finals. He did an excellent job with both incontrol and Day9. The guy obviously took some criticisms to heart and worked hard to improve his casting.


i have to agree with this right here

So happy for Puma! It's a really nice story, a guy who was mainly known for just being a practice partner in Starcraft 1, and had problems with nerves in big matches, versus probably the most famous Starcraft 2 player in the final. He had to show nerves of steel to hold on at the end, and not get tilted after letting MC come back from 3-1 down in games that Puma had big advantages in.

The games were all amazing, and it was truly an amazing experience watching them live.

ggs puma.

The NASL finals began with a unexplained 2 hour delay, followed by puma bunker rushing ret. It ended with a lag-filled, pause/re-start filled epic 6 games, only to have game 7 be a rush fail by MC. Disappointed to say the least. But there were very exciting moments, particularly Darkforce and sen-mc.

My thoughts exactly.

I hadn't actually thought of this wrinkle in the system, but that really does seem unfair to the players who spent months prepping for games. It seems like it would be better to use the open bracket only as a qualifier for slots in the upcoming season, rather than allowing players in the open bracket to completely bypass the grind of the current league season.

Alternatively, it might make sense for NASL to pay out prize money based on league performance, so that there's an incentive to play in the league beyond qualifying to get into the grand finals.
