wow so sad when the best toss player in the world can't beat 1/1/1. At least there is bound to be a patch soon Always look for the silver lining.


Im sorry but blizz wont nerf terran. I think we need a new morrow who will just 1/1/1 every game with toss till blizz nerf it or buff toss. I have no idea why all terrans dont do it every game. Is it a morality thing ? Clearly here is a build when decently executed will beat all tosses in the world and there is no good response and doesnt require toss to be 100 times better than terran to hold.
PuMA cheesed his way to final win and people are saying he is good ? I saw nothing in this game from Puma that any terran in the world wont be capable off. He is just a random code B scrub who has trouble in korea since he sucks at TvT since everyone is a terran there. Let me see him beet MVP or bomber and I'll agree he is good. All he did is come out of korea to own non koreans .

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.


It's starcraft 2 anyone can win on any given day, by that logic Mana is Nestea level because he 2-0'd puma in group stage?

Anyone wonder why PDD doesn't even have to be researched?
Oh and it's awesome how marauders are the only unit in the game to have a damage modifier that DOUBLES their damage vs armored.

MMMG needs stalkers, zealots, sentry, archon, high templars, warp prism, AND a tech switch to colo. sounds about right. /s

How about Blizzard stop basing their balance from games from their employee ?
and start looking at what "HAPPENS IN THE GAME" not just the end result.

PDD clearly seemed out of proportion when one sitting right ontop of tank can defend from 20+ stalkers for more than 3 mins.

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.


The QQ was followed by a infestor buff. I think your forgetting that part.


And the roach range buff and the spore crawler buff.

This is ridiculous.... Protoss needs their warpgate research changed back and insta-high templar storms back to deal with Zerg and Terran now. There just seems to be nothing they can do.


Top 4 = 3 protosses, indeed, they need a buff.

The ilarius think about that state of metagame is see MC try to do weird stuff to try to win a single game, like hide base, try to snipe raven to win with 1 DT lol....

How T can enjoy the game and defend the balance i really don't understand... I don't play anymore and was a random player and i feel that SC2 will die soon if something don't change...

GG to Puma is a great player but here is not a matter of skill anymore...

wtf are you talking about

hes right TT

Few months ago protoss players were suggesting to zergs to find new playstyles to beat them and not cry about imbalance but when they lose they can't listen to their own advice.

I've been struggling vs 1-1-1 on the ladder, and was really hopping that mc would show how to stop it. I still have no clue how to stop it, and at this point I have to wonder, does anybody?
I'm a gooner.

MC is the best protoss player in the world and he is in Code A. I hope our protoss brothers can pull it back

Dissappointing series tbh. Although if he sniped the other raven with the phoenixes he would have won the game. Doubt he would have won the series though.

I hope people don't forget that Mana beat Puma 2-0 though!

I distinctly remember a massive buff to Infestors, actually, and that's when most serious QQ from Zerg stopped.


Exactly. So many zergs acting like they didn't get buffed at all.

No, you're completely wrong. Its the technique used to win the game. 1/1/1 Is pretty much terran's 4gate. Not surprised to see terrans start using this build in metagame. This also shows how bad protoss's metagame is right now. Bosstoss tried charge, lost to 1/1/1.
