yes, just because of that. there's a translator and saying 3-4 sentences doesn't hurt any kind of man. i can see that he doesn't fancy doing it, but that's not the point

I find it very very unlikely that anyone expects 1-1-1 on Terminus Cross map ;P aint really steppes of war , i missed the socke iview but if he said so then I apologize for making a mistake :D but it won't be the last time I'm wrong either ;P nobody is always right Puma was indeed faking it a little bit with the bunker and stuff, but I still wouldnt expect it

Hoped you guys had fun though, unfortunately not the super close semi's we expected, let's hope the Finals are going to be legendary^^

youre such a fanboy and in complete denial. puma's play was on a completely different level and he had him beat in almost every way possible. socke maybe came out on top of an engagement once, which didn't really matter anyway. think before your fanboyism takes over. and rage all you want because in reality he was outplayed and outclassed.

If you watched nearly any pro interview, they all even the European ones, say that European fans are more reserved. I do not find it bad, probably because I am European, I actually find American fans to be over the top.

they seemed to be cheering just fine for the loser socke
I understand bias but at least give some excitement and glory to the winner. i'm not that guy who complains in every LR thread. in fact I never do but the crowd has sucked a lot of excitement and hype out of the tournament. I watch these tournaments for the excitement

This.
Same with Khaldor's casting if a German is playing, he is 200% biased. He knows it, he will not deny it and he will not care about it one bit, lol.

Kinda sad.

Only way Puma would have avoided MC in the semifinals was to win agaist MaNa since winners wasnt matched agaist each other.

I really don't want to be misunderstood on this one. It's completely natural to not always catch each detail, each drop, and so on.

But the 2nd game was casted wrong. Socke didn't expect an expand-build but blind-countered a 111 all-in. This is why he built early robo, this is why he built a useless immortal, this is why he cut probes. Consequently, this is why he ended up being behind.

And THEN come the clueless people and write about how Puma "outclassed" Socke, just because he made a wrong read. It's not about caster-hate, but people ought to realize why Socke was behind basicly the whole game. Puma tricked Socke by building the bunker, that was the crucial moment in the game. Please realize that I love Rotterdam's casting, it just annoyed me that the LR-thread was flooded with people screeming how much better Puma is, when in fact all he did the 2nd game was trick Socke into a inferior build.
