I find it amazing how Korean Terrans can pressure Zerg so well, but never ever risk losing their army ever until they actually do a proper push. Most people in the foreign scene have this idea that they should do a standard marine tank timing push at 10 minutes when stim is done to 'pressure' zerg, but they end up losing their whole army, or get counter attacked and lost straight away. People need to play like the Korean Terrans, ie, not sieging up on creep until much later in the game, not committing every tank early in the game, doing drops and maintaining map control rather than turtle. The turtle, push, turtle, push, turtle, push style is fading fast.

Edit: stop talking about premature gg. He was down 60 supply with the Terran knocking at his front door, with a simple 8 marine drop being able to take down any hatchery.

Where are these guys now who said Puma is overrated and worse than Nerchio? Puma absolutely dominating.

Even with jetlag and being sick.

Nerchio had nothing and PuMa had ~5+ tanks right infront of the zergs gold.

Nothing is not 5 bases. His production on money was enourmous. He could just RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR and take a stand, keep in mind PuMa was only on 3 bases, losing gold would put Nerchio 4v3 in bases.

Not sure. I think he was just frustrated with that GG.


He lost his entire army + was about to lose his gold + puma killed a ton of drones. Theres no coming back from that.


I think if he went to mutas as soon as that engagement happened he could have taken everything out. Not sure if he had the resources banked for that switch... but if he did... he would have actually went back ahead.


Pum did also sent some marines to the base at 6.

Not sure what his resource was either but he had a ton of infestors and roaches plus upgrading to greater spire, so my guess is that he didnt have enough gas to make enough mutas to over take that push.

o_o Nerchio could not leave the game, he just fungaled last marines and there were around 4 tanks left and he was on what, 5 bases?

Because he knows that there will be reinforcements coming and he lost most of his Infestor


maybe at the same time there are a few more puma drops around somewhere on the map we did not see.... u know he is puma
so guys stop dreaming, the zerg has no chance
when mc says puma is a beast, u know how good that guy is.

I understand that Nerchio could've played that better. Spore+Spine at every mineral line would help a lot with drops/banshee and Ben said at one time that counter would be amazing.

But...but....the hype!

To be honest Ive seen nerchio show more composure to drop harass in most of his matches compared to that last match. We shall see if he can come back mentally after that loss

Edit: I cant count
