So thrilled to see this. MC, in his current form, is pretty much unstoppable. What a domination so far, it's incredible.

Pumas insane ghost control against MCs HT in warp prism to avoid emps

Don't mind who wins as I like both players as long it isn't one-sided like the semis.

I believe in Puma's preparation, though I'm a bigger fan of MC. I can't choose!

Normally i would say puma wins easily, but puma is very sick, so i think MC has a really good chance.

Normally you'd say Puma wins easily over MC? What?
A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else.

you do realize the only time they did clash it was a close 4-3 game.... and MC even said puma had advantages cuz the maps were shit and terran favored (badwater gulch) with its shitty ass chokes that makes a perfect funnel for the terran and no surface area for toss zealots to do anything
