Why are they bringing these top koreans? Honestly, i like MC but its boring to watch him dominate like this. IMHO they should bring out medium level code S players like Coca,clide,alive,alicia etc.

Only few foreigners can beat top koreans, and only in certain matchups in series not longer than bo3 and on a good day

note: dont say puma isnt code s quality pls, he obviously is

You don't want the best players involved? O.o
Foreigners arn't going to get better if they arn't pushed into it by being crushed.

Let me put it this way, do u want to watch 2 grandmaster vs gold games just to be able to watch grandmaster vs grandmaster finals. Im obviously exaggerating


I think most people would want 2 grandmaster against 2 grandmaster to watch grandmaster vs grandmaster finals.

So is your point that only koreans should be invited? because it would contradict your original one =p

As I said, Rotterdam made the completely wrong call, Socke was expecting 111 in 2nd game. I really don't want to seem hating right now, but damn Rotti, you are better than that...


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^^


Again, hopefully you don't think I want to hate on you, I follow your casting since warcraft 3

I was much more annoyed because many people claimed for pages that Puma "outplayed" Socke in the 2nd game, which wasn't really the case.

EDIT: this is what I'm talking about

Socke completely outplayed. I love the fanboys that after game 1 said 'it was only luck'


So? Game 1 was Socke's game to lose, which he did. Either you are trolling, or you really don't know what you are talking about.

Puma didn't do anything spectacular at all, it was basicly Socke making stupid, unnecessary mistakes. God, this "outplayed", "outclassed" makes me rage right now. Stop it, ffs.


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.



Socke is overrated / overhyped if you see the past replays of his matches all Terrans he had to face on shakuras for example went early on rax heavy play wich is useless on that map.

Now that he faces a real terran who uses his Pokerface with his race its shown that he gets outclassed, Socke appertantly isnt a solid player i can tell this from past aswell from yesterdays and wednessdays ladder matches vs him even if its just PvP the same plans went throughout all of his matches 1 plan nearly 0 adaption luck with oppenents showing everything .

E: aswell the easiest way to face to terran is to see a early cc or something like that and straight bio play that is very good dealable as protoss , all what is behind the pokerface gets more difficult.
There are to many targets , and i smile everytime they try to defend and thinking they are smart.

i (and i guess pretty much every socke fanboy) agree that puma is on a different level. that still doesn't mean he outclassed socke in every game. he definitely didn't in game 1.

If you're an MC fan why wouldn't you watch them lol.

But yeah game 1 was really great the other ones were pretty one sided imo.

I think there might a slight trend here.

Mana - Puma 2:0
Stephano - Puma 1:2 and very close, please stop saying there were no chances here.


all these -omg foreigners might have a chance- games happen on the first day of any event when the Koreans look jetlagged as shit.

2nd day actually. Killer is also Korean, long time code S player, maybe you should not cherry-pick your examples. Depends what your point actually is since you never actually stated anything.


Killer lost on day 1...that just bolsters his jet lag statement.

It sucks this is just SE bracket. MaNa obviously deserves the 2nd place. MC > MaNA > PuMa > Socke

Yeah, I downloaded the replays. They are fun, especially the how the first game ended. Mana should have won, or maybe a tie.

One sided does not mean that they are not worth watching. Because they were not one sided because Mana played bad. Just MC played extremely well and there is a lot to learn from those games. Unlike Socke Mana did not defeat himself, MC defeated him.

EDIT: I mean that as complement for Mana not Socke. Mana made some questionable decisions, and his PvP is not on top Korean/HuK/Naniwa level, but he played well, Socke just killed himself.
