MC is still the winner in the community's eyes =) | ||

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. 1.MC had to many immortals during the second push so he lost 2. The upgrades in the last big fight were 1-1 for toss and 3-2 for Terran, they terran will ALWAYS win that (and also there was a warp prism with 2 full energy templars that got sniped) but really it came down to the fact that puma had a crazy upgrade advantage 3. Puma just out played MC, and Puma won Puma never "got lucky" he had better control, amazing decision making, and (in game 2) way better upgrades...so luck had nothing to do with it | ||

Good for seeing more competitive play but it brings out the worst in people too with all the whining and qqing | ||

I've never seen MC play that badly before. As for the race balance, i'll trust blizzard and the maps to fix that problem. as for personalities. Puma is boring, unattractive, and Disreputable with TSL I don't dislike EG BTW MC: Brash, Bold, Competant player who makes bad mistakes against rival opponents. Perhaps him drinking less soda will help him think more clearly. Who are you going to root for.. obviously the boss Protoss. I don't root for the players personality. I root for players games. And puma played the better game. | ||

I'm a bit disappointed in these games as well but that's no reason to jump into a balance discussion. People will figure out what to do about it eventually. | ||

Puma just went for the polar opposite of quick tech, mass infrastructure and faster upgrades to counter his army later. To say puma was outmacroed that game shows people have little understanding of the top tier aspects of this game. Exactly. Are people under the impression that comparing supply counts is the final word in sc2 analysis? Puma's major strategic decision that game was to set up an upgrade-heavy lategame army. MC took multiple oddly-placed expansions just when said army was designed to materialize, instead of riding his advantageous engagements from the early game. I don't think Puma played like a god, but he was never given a reason to diverge from his plan. | ||

the thing is that mc's higher tech unjits did nothing in the fight. so it was basically low tech units vs low tech units with better upgrades and medivacs., he didnt get any good storms off in the fight. protoss that opens colossus and then go into high templar do fine. look at mana, that dude NEVER LOSES PVT EVER. he even 2-0d puma. stop feeling sorry for yourselves. its just sad. | ||

As we saw there, they traded armys at first both going down to around 120 supply. However bio ball+ghosts easily reinforced again, where as gateways + ht's couldn't re-inforce. Main reason is that it would be stupid to get more ht's who would be useless against terran for the next minute. So he attempts to gets mass chargelots stalkers but just gets rolled. Yup, make it more expensive or take longer to upgrade. But please bring it back. Watching San explore that style was so interesting, and terran was never given the time to discover a metagame counter. | ||
