When Socke was interviewed, he commented on how there is not a window of time to get a colossus against the build Puma did vs MC on Xel'naga caverns.

Congratulations Puma.

As a protoss player I am sad that MC that played really well, lost in a pretty severe fashion.

However, I can recognise some mistakes he made (in his army control for example) and as he has room for a better play, I think we cannot whine about it.



Not to be a douche, but your pointing out mistakes from a TWO time GSL winner? I'm sure MC knows what he's doing and has the control. Let's not take anything away from Puma here, he's just really good. And MC is really good as well.

1/1/1 is so imbalanced and these games just proved it Blizzard wake up.

Sick Finals.
Although I am a P Player I have to admire the beauty of the 1/1/1 Build.
Streamlined to the extreme, very robust and since today we know its even repeatable ^^
The chair slowly turns around. You see his face, but it can't be. He's not supposed to be here. Not him. Not a Protoss. Not THAT Protoss. MC says, "Hi Greg, long time no see." You back slowly out of the booth. But you can't. It's already forcefielded.

So because he is MC, if he loses, Protoss is weak and needs a buff? lol, kids these days........

Whoa. So much balance complaints, despite the warning on top, despite common sense. Incredible. I had to stop using my report button because it began glowing in deep red.

I don't see the point in all of the rage. Both are excellent gamers, but Puma definitely had the edge there. MC underestimated Puma's determination with the second push in game one, he made a crucial mistake in losing the warp prism with HTs in the second game, and he he didn't capitalize on his advantage (a single Raven, DTs availabe but not really used) in game three.

When two players of such high skill play, these small differences can decide the outcome of the game and just that happened. If Puma were a nobody and had he barely won the series, sure, we could discuss a bit, but he's a powerhouse and took the whole thing 3-0 ... I think there's no point in denying his skill.

Nice games, cool finals. The observer in game 3 was a bit too hectic, but all in all, it was a cool event.

Balance whining seems cyclical. First it was Zergs whining about how unbeatable Protoss is, now Protoss are whining about how unbeatable Terran is. Soon Terran will be whining about how unbeatable Zerg is, and the glorious circle will be completed.

Wait what is this? Protoss complaining about all-ins? What about when MC did 4 gate, 6 gate and fake sentry expand into nexus cancel versus zerg? Everyone said he was a protoss genius at the time, and he completely dominated zerg in almost every game.

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.


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.


Are you kidding? there was still massive outcry even with the fungal buff.
