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.

Pretty sure you don't have a clue on how PDD works.

What I find interesting in this thread.

People with Terran portraits/avatars on TL saying that PuMa's win was well deserved.

People with Zerg and Protoss portraits/avatars saying that the 1/1/1 is broken and he shouldn't have been able to win like that.

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


Have you not watch the Korean matches lately? It's pure 1-1-1. Follow the Korean twitter and their community and you'll know how bad it is. The EU scene is not an indication of top level play when they all got 3-0 in the semi-final.



game 1: MC had a chance to win it. he was like 30 supply ahead.
1/1/1 was held by MC. A second 1/1/1 with cloaked banshees was not held/
MC didn't counter-attack
No cloak detection against cloaked banshees in second 1//1/1. I though it was kind of cheap of puma to do that. MC could have punished PUma second 1/1/1

game 2: MC was again ahead in supply, somehow lost.
too many expansions eating up minerals.
not enough upgrades.
Warp prisms were sniped which was a mistake.
maybe no collusus

game 3. MC got desperate and did some crazy things...
MC was counting on the hidden Expo to pay off.
the raven killed MC. He couldn't snipe it.

Summary: MC is damaged mentally from skincare korean. It's gonna take a long time to heal.
GL HF MC in up and downs. that is more important for MC's reputation at the moment.

i hate to say it but I do not root for EG PUMA anymore. He's not attractive and not engaging. And I'm a terran boy at heart.

MC only lost two games to Code S Terrans, and he didn't actually get stomped. Stop giving him crap, MarineKing and MVP have both fell down to Code A once and MC still has a chance to retain Code S Status.

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.


even the best player in the world will make mistakes.
and yes, someone way inferior to them can point them out as well.

why the heck is it fine that toss complain about 1/1/1, and not ok when zerg complain about blink stalker allins?

If you are wondering..neither are needed.

Because:
1. ZvP is in general in favour of zerg right now. TvP is in favour of terran.
2. Blink stalkers is not impossible to beat at all, and not as prevalent.
3. You can scout blink and counter it ez. 1/1/1 doesn't matter if you know its coming or not. you still lose, no matter how good you are (almost).
4. Even if protoss holds on, Terran just does it all over again (Game 1 in this very set).

Why the heck is a zerg even in this thread complaining about pvz? 1/1/1 is terrible right now, doesn't matter what goes on in pvz.

to ppl who said MC would've won if he sniped the raven
1. he would lose 60% of his stalkers (and thats if puma's not paying attention at all)
2. siege tanks can attack marines to splash kill the dt. ez

u cant snipe a raven with pdd!!!!


You can by faking aggression and making it waste energy, then going in taking it down and winning the game.

Zergs do a similar thing to make marine waste stim.


You can't... Puma had enough marines to not ever need to waste a PDD to fake aggression, since his marines could beat MC's stalkers straight up in a second. Plus, he could get tank cover to avoid such things. It was do or die, and then PDD comes and BAM! GG

how the fuck is your korean gsl status an absolute indicator of your skill level?

I'll take puma over hongun any day


This. Not to mention that Puma has ALREADY beaten MC in another finals. I don't see why this so surprising or distressing. Were people reacting this way after the NASL finals?

Well, PvT metagame right now is just Terran favored. Protoss just needs sometime to cope with it. But still I think these 3 games can go either way really.
In the last game, If MC didn't leave with his stalker he can stall the Terran army even more and build up some unit to stand a head to head fight.

I wonder why every unit is weaker than it's counterpart

Storm does 40 DPS EMP does 100
Stim Mauruars do 30 DPS stalkers do 14 DPS
2 tanks do over 25 DPS a more expensive collusi do 18
on own the line Protoss is just weaker.


stop posting.

There were many 3-0s and 3-1s in the tourney, but the losses were fought well, imo, and most of those games weren't one-sided. Good tourney - and remember, MC still gets a nice prize for 2nd place.

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 .


Ok I hate all this Puma bashing. He was a badass practice partner in BW, practicing with people like Flash. This guy went to NASL open brackets and the NASL finals and WON. He's pretty damn good.

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.

Actually it started as Zerg whining that Terran and Protoss are unbeatable. In response Zerg got buffed and Terran got nerfed.

Now it's Protoss whining that Terran is unbeatable. The response will be Protoss buffs and Terran nerfs.

Terran was just incredibly broken at release but it takes a long time for the full power they have to be shown.

any kind of colossus build pwns pure marine tank


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.


You can rush a single colo w/out range by the first push, or you can have 3 immortals. your pick but obv 3 immortals are more important against tanks
