Terran wins something ? Shit storms incoming. More and more it looks like b.net. forums.

EG skewed it to make it look like it was his fault and dumb people fell for it T.T

BTW, IEM always has the best music by far. MLG's generic rock sucks!

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.
Look at what is happening at the highest level of the game (GSL). Look at what happened when more Korean terrans were invited (last MLG). When terran is played at a mid-high Euro/NA level toss can deal with it but Korean terrans are smart enough to exploit the 1-1-1 build a lot more and execute it better. Seriously the win statistics for TvP in Korea this month will probably be around 70-30. The game shouldn't be balanced around the mid-high level but around the top level because it represents the highest potential a race can be played at. Korean players don't balance whine lightly and we've seen several speak out against the 1-1-1.
Anyway there's no point in arguing about it- we'll see who's right when the next Blizzard patch comes out and who'll be whining when Blizzard does decide to do something about the 1-1-1.

He isn't getting respect because he didn't show off any skill. He did a 1/1/1 twice, which is a boring, incredibly uncreative and undoubtedly too-strong build that is just unenjoyable to watch. Most have no doubt that Puma is a great player - we've seen that in other tournaments (including against MC), but when you use some lame-ass build to win 2 out of 3 games and give probably the worst SC2 finals ever (alongside Nestea and Inca), then you're not going to get a lot of cheers from fans.

For those who say MC did everything right and terran is IMBA just remember that Mana 2-0 Puma.

Thanks to Mr. Bitter, Rotti, TaKe, Kelly, Carmac and everyone behind the scenes for an awesome tournament. (Hope you'll read it)

Ironically, whenever someone all-ins idra in a game, its usually people going on and on about how idra shouldn't drone/engage at that time.
It's not as if Puma didn't make mistakes either.
1st game. Puma did a silly 1/1/1 that got countered hard... MC should have won game won.. but didn't.
2nd game. Puma never was able to harass with marines, He even lost quite a few to marine drops. Economically Puma never matched MC in game two, in which MC should have won again. Puma got lucky.
3rd game.. MC did something crazy desperate and lost.
It's not if Puma was the amazing player today. It's more like MC screwing things up for himself. Which could be to his lost psychological confidence that he usually has. Puma is in his head. that is disrupting MC's play.

although this thread became trash I enjoy reading it. Can't you guys just relax and let it be the way it is. Its just a game afterall.

MC must be so sick of PvT right now. Loses NASL finals to PuMa, Loses in his Code S group (all terrans) and now again in IEM finals. Foreigner terrans are no threat, just Koreans. 
I wonder what is going on in his head

Shut up.
It was Lee and the Korean netizens that make it seem like Pumas fault.

Good to see Puma is still as strong as ever after joining EG 
Too good that whenever the fan favorite loses, the game is imbalanced. Stay free, sc2 fans.

At one point he was 170 to 130 supply. He stopped 3 drops like nothing. He took down 2 barracks losing little units He took down a command center turning into orbital. He was 2-2 vs 3-2 at the end. MC played better, its simply because amulet got taken away, if you mismicro even once, your fucked. MC mismicroed his prism, costing him the game, which is absolutely ridiculous cuz he was so far ahead.

Ok, but how is the "Live Report Thread" the right place to discuss it? You think blizzard has this thread open and is taking notes? No. So go somewhere else.
MC looked sad He takes losses hard. Gz to Puma though.

What was the game just now?

Yep.Sure is great.
It was no "hybrid 1/1/1", it was just a 1/1/1 that was reacting to the phoenix opening. Don't try to make it seem like something different at least, please 
This build is not THAT powerful that you can just blindly continue to execute it regardless of what protoss is doing. Well you can, but you just have to change your unit mix a bit. Korean terrans are human too, they have the right to react to threats.
