This is so dumb, Puma is way favored playing against Mana.

Why? Because I don't buy into 30 day hype? Get off it - 1 month results are not everything. Look for solid players who post consistent results. Europe is solid. Mana, Nerchio, White-Ra, Dimaga, i'd pick any of those 4 over Puma.


I hope you never bet money, because you would get your ass owned in predictions :X

I hope you never bet money. Betting on someone who only has 1 result and has not shown a lot besides that 1 tournament.

Betting on any solid korean against a foreigner is free money in the long run

He is adjusting to the level of the rest of his team. Same with Puma.

Flying all around the world in order to compete in various tournaments in nice and all, but it seems that it kinda prevents the players from playing to the maximum of their ability. I don't think one can reach a reasonnable level of consistency by travelling all over the place.



Koreans do it all the time and they still dominate.

The excuse about Jetlag is getting old.

He played badly and got stomped, that's it.

He played badly because of all the travelling he has done. In the last few weeks: Korea (GSL) > America (MLG) > Finland (Assembly) > America (Blizzcon Qualifier) > Korea (GSL) > Germany (IEM).
Before his HSC3/Dreamhack run he hadn't travelled very much and had a lot of time to practice.

but somehow he won his code S games, dunno about quality of the games didnt watch

Ah so we've got an entire thread of Korean apologists now. Why does this always happen.

Maybe it's just time you all acknowledged that the overlapping skillcaps between EU pros, US pros and Korean pros is smaller than people would have you conventionally think. Puma beat MC. Not in a winner takes all last gasp end game insertion. He beat him over a best of 7. MC played very well, too.

Could it just be that on their day, any of these players can beat each other?

That's a much more interesting, much more fruitful and frankly much more entertaining discussion to have than this moronic foreigner vs Korean fanboyism.

And Britain. Oh wait our best player hasn't lived here for about a year.

And he's on EG so he's not relevant anymore :D

Are we gonna keep blaming jetlag or at least admit that he is horribly inconsistent?


MC got 3-1'ed by HongUn

Are we going to say players sometimes don't play their best or that MC is shitty now?

I like how they put the schedule up and don't put a clock with their local time.

Knowing that a majority of their stream viewers are not located in their time zone.

Not to be rude but you have been pretty much indirectly bashing mOOnGLaDe all day even when he wins convincingly....how would he be a stronger opponent when he lost 0-2??


Tend to think he's better across more match ups.

He's English, probably doesn't like us


I have nothing against Aussies, Melbourne's an awesome place. I do get bothered about people who don't take practice or whatever seriously though, it's why I don't like FD and Tester.


Are you serious?? The bloke went all around the world earlier this year playing SC2 and training his arse off and spent a fair bit of time in Korea then has some time off for himself due to personal issues, yet still smashes skulls but you don't like him because he hasn't practiced for a while.....just wow

hehe, its the artosis curse, clide...now puma but u r right, people hyping him up because of nasl, he didnt do anything besides that


Puma actually had a super strong month with a dominant performance in the GSTL, great play in the iCCup KR weeklies, and culminating in the NASL victory. Since then though he really hasn't done too much, losing pretty early to a number of lesser known players in the KR weekly etc etc.

The EG curse manifests itself differently in DeMusliM. It just causes him to be injured constantly.

Wait what? You can forget Sjow for some reason? I don't understand your reasoning at all.

sjow is FAR away from being a decent player. he cant multitask for S**T. he just won because terran was OP and everyone was bad. nowadays skill actually matters much more than back then. you cant just win with a decently executed strategy.

Not sure about puma being solid though. Couldn't even qualify for code A. Had some decent results in GSTL but never was pure owned it like DRG/MMA or the best macro player in the world, THEBEST.

I guess... I went 1-1. Thought that Stephano and Mana would win. Only Mana did.
