I wouldn't be so sure. MC must be on top of his game right now considering that stellar performance, not to mention MC 2-0'd Puma in a KotH match just a couple days ago.

Mana is just too scared to go 1base allin to punish MC, MC shouldn't've won any of the games if Mana did a timing.
MC could've done a 1gate expand and Mana would still be too afraid to attack.
The last time I checked, 3 minutes late Nexus without punishment, and you would lose to diamond players who 1A colossus.
You don't understand PvP at a high level. The tiniest things can give away SO much, and yes, mindgames are also very important in PvP.
Really? Mana confirmed it himself, he was just too afraid of cheese to move out/expand. MC used his reputation to win the metagame.
The game he DID go 1base allin, he should've won, if he didn't panic and made an assimilator instead.
If u go 1base allin against blink play, ur gonna end up base trading 99% of the time. So yea, Mana probably could've won the first game, but i dont think Mana wanted to play tht game another two times.
Going colossi is very fragile at the moment, especially against the Robo twilight expand style tht every koreans uses nowadays.
I really want to see MC vs Puma to understand how the level of puma is changed as he's not more training in Korea as he's an EG now. It's right he can't train no more vs his old TSL teamate.
Hmmm. Don't really like Puma and want Socke to win. But, a pvp final that MC will probably own isn't very appealing. Another tough choice on who to root for :/
