A large number of posts i have read are all in relation to MC being an "amazing" or "great" player when PuMa is looked at as a "good" player. Those are the people my comment is aimed at. | ||

MC not shaking Puma`s hand after games is pitiful. That is childlish. I ♥ E-Sports. | ||

Now that I think about it, I wonder if BW pros whined about certain strategies that dominated certain eras. Just like 1-1-1 is "owning" it up again now in SC2. MC's couple mistakes were too great and those cost him the game :[ Very well played by Puma, I hope to see more matches between these two ^^ | ||

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. Did zerg change their gameplay? Infestors got an insane buff. Protoss got multiple nerfs. I would use infestors too if I had them as toss >.> | ||

Were people reacting this way after the NASL finals? NASL finals had epic games mostly, greatly played by both players. This was just a joke, a husk of that series. MC played really well, but had absolutely no chance against 1-1-1. He even managed to defend it once, only to lose to the recoil. It's bad, TvP is looking bad, at least when played by koreans. | ||

Very interesting that Protoss needs Zealot + HT w/ Storm to negate a drop of 4 marauders w/ stim. not complaining, just raising some interesting points. | ||

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. i've seen MC use cheesy tactics...like the one where he 2 gated white ra in the finals. what goes around come around. MC is one of my favorite players and i'm a zerg player but he made some mistakes in the final games (esp the first game 2nd big battle was poorly microed). They played a great macro game in game 2 and puma won because he was ahead on upgrades and mc lost his warp prism unfortunately. the way i see it is the game is pretty balanced. i think 1-1-1 might be a tad too strong but overall the game is still incredibly balanced! i think protoss pylon cannon block vs zerg is quite strong also so maybe blizzard can change that and 1-1-1 a little bit. | ||

How many time do we have to say this again? Zerg didn't figure any shit. Spore crawlers got buffed against VRs and DTs opening. Warp gate nerf so no more 4 gating. Massive infestor buff help insanely different story in ZvX. Stop thinking you're a genius or anything. | ||

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  .Wow, talk about being bitter.. I didn't know that doing his best to put food on the table would involve that much jabbing at his skill level. | ||

Still, nothing really strong from MC either. QQ, just seems like what Puma did can be replicated by most Terran players... wait, I think most Terran players are 1-1-1 on ladders as is. Nice to see a pro do it though. | ||
