Yes, he had 1 Dt and Puma had no orbital


PDD prevents raven snipe, marines in such numbers pretty much ravage stalkers

Quit whining, toss fans, Puma is clearly a better player in those games. Even if terran race is a little bit strong. 3:0 is a convincing win to prove that Puma is better.

Grats to Puma!

Two 1 base all-in abusive builds - and one solid comeback after being down 50 supply by sniping a warp prism.

Not nearly as good as the NASL finals.

Congrats Puma - and my heart goes out to all the protoss players who have felt the fury of 1/1/1

Agree with this, I was about to come back to SC2 but now I just don't know. Think I'll stick with other games.


Then kindly get out of this thread.

YAY 1-1-1.

How did Mana beat Puma?


By out-playing him in macro games, utilizing collosus templar mixtures as opposed to pure gateway that can get destroyed by MMM + Ghost. Game 2 MC could have, and should have won, but his composition let Puma get back in with micro + upgrades + good EMPs. Personally I feel like gateway armies are too micro-based, if you get EMP'd/sniped and don't have enough storm you just melt because they can pump pure medivac and heal vs stalker zeal. Two or three collosus backing a mostly gateway army gives you some splash, forces vikings, and doesn't leave you with a large medivac count.

Remember when zergs were crying 2 months ago about protoss being unbeatable and than they changed up their strategy and playstyle?

Protoss will do the same ,so instead of QQ'ing on forums hopefully they put their effort into finding a solution, but I'm sure the top toss are trying, granted MC just lost, look what Mana did to PuMa in group stage.


This needs to be quoted.

mc wouldnot have cleaned up with that single dt, puma cld have just focused his own units with his siege tanks and the DT would die.
Ideally, MC needed to warp in a lot more DTs, kill the orbital command and then snipe the raven when he has the chance. with 4-5 DTs, MC could have won/

Is that all you can say after the finals? And 3 Protoss in the top4?
Grow up, the game is fine


Yeah, and there was exactly one good Korean terran there and he beat them. How does 3 protoss in the top 4 matter when those protoss are all in the top 6ish area and that's one of 20+ Korean terrans you can name? He also just 1-1-1'd twice.

I feel like it ought to be have closer, MC is arguably the best protoss in the world and therefore the player who 3-0's him in a final ought to be on a Nestea-level. Is Puma really that good? I don't know honestly.

This series was about MC reacting poorly to basically everything puma did + some micro mistakes.It just wasn't his day.So all u emo kiddies looking for attention can suck it and go play LoL, or other retarded no skill based games.
