People were fine with Puma winning NASL over MC. People are just not fine with 1-1-1 especially when we're watched it being used to win so many games.

game 1: mc could've held off the 1-1-1 easily. he made way too many fucking immortals (5). he engaged in a horrible spot thinking he could just win. only had 4 stalkers vs banshees with a pdd. didn't wait until charge was done.

game 2: 3-3 mm + 10 full energy medivacs and ghost. that's going to win vs a pure zealot/stalker/ht army. no archons, colosuss, worse upgrades, let alone one where 3 hts get destroyed instantly.

game 3: awkward fucking game. he couldve tried to suicide his stalkers to kill the raven.. he would have definitely gotten the raven, seeing as how he got 2 tanks that had a pdd covering them with most of the stalker surviving.

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.


Gratz you won the prize for the stupidest post in this thread ! And it was not easy, a lot of competition.

By far the worst final ever, in my opinion. The guys at GOM might be happy to have friends in the "shitty finals"-team now.

Terran units are just so much more microable. These games showed it and HuK vs Select @ Blizzcon Invitational also show how much medivac+MM+ghost micro can change a battle while slowed chargelots, stalkers and slow ass HT's can't be controlled in the same way.

You're fucking kidding me right?

Was there something impressive about Puma in that last game? He literally built a 1 raven, 4 tanks, and all marines and then walked to MC's based with all of his workers... that's literally all he did.

this one game a zerg just made 6 lings and i died, and another game a protoss just made like a handful of zealots and beat me.

I mean every race has a cheesy/all in they can do, and the game just need to be out more so there can be better balance.

Also LR threads always have these balance discussions -_-

This needs to be quoted.

This is a nice example of meta game retardation we're seeing right now. Not only here but in GSL as well. A lot of terrans rediscovering that there's not much protoss can do against marines+tanks+raven+banshee+scv mixes from one base.

It's pretty sad and I hope we can move past it like we did before. I'm just afrad it's going to come back again and again until a patch makes it less effective.

It's not _supposed_ to be this effective in a good game. It's just not. Protoss will need to retard back almost 1 year and just do stupid one-base defenses and maybe this will go away and we can have good games.


Well said and I agree on all fronts.

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 .


If you watch the NASL finals, you can see how great his play is. But this series... doesn't showcase his skill. It showcases how stupid 1-1-1 is.

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.


Yeah, I'm just waiting for that amazing new playstyle that beats the 1-1-1 build. Expanding doesn't beat it, stargate doesn't beat it, one base colossi doesn't beat it due to banshees as colossi take up all gas, twilight tech can't beat it, high templar tech off one base + storm would be you praying that you kill every marine and then you still wont have enough to kill the banshees and tanks.

The obvious solution is a new playstyle.

Zerg units were buffed idiots, they didn't change any playstyle.

How is Puma not in GSL? Damnnn


Possibly because you can't 1-1-1 in TvT and TvZ?

LOL...

He's not in GSL because code B (code A qualifiers) are freaking hard. He has the skill to be in code S just like Donraegu.


just like MMA(code B prior to getting code S through MLG) took a game off of Nestea

Sure it was a BO1 but good lord he totally outplayed him that game.

Just because they aren't in code A/S, there's some really good Code B players in Korea.

Guys, PuMa was better at Brood War than MC too. He made almost no mistakes these games. Of course his strategy is obnoxious, but he still executed it flawlessly and also beat MC in the only macro game.


Losing 3 drops for no damage AND an expansion in game 2 is no mistakes?
