What's really sad it's just how bad Puma actually played. The 1-1-1 pushes were in fact pretty bad. The first time, his first banshee was deflected with 0 kills, and he made a slightly delayed 1-1-1 with just one banshee. Usually, a well executed 1-1-1 has more units. The second time, he supply capped himself for a long time, and i saw like 3/4 marines queud in the same rax.... yet, both times, he won. I mean, what the fuck, what happens when the execution is perfect, the chances of protoss beating that push drops from 20% to 2%?

Puma is really a beast but i must say MC is so damn good, sad to see him go down in this fashion.

1. MC should have but didn't win game 1.

2. MC should have and didn't win game 2.

3.MC: rattled and starts using some crazy strats.

Puma is not a beast IMO. MC though needs some help in the up and down matches though. GL MC..


Alright if I'm getting this straight PuMa was able to beat MC when MC looked alot better back then in the NASL finals (arguably even his prime) in straight up games without the 1/1/1 but he's not a beast and I guess MC still is.

Puma's just a lucky flash in the pan right?

Rofl. Dude wtf. A win is a damn win and I cheered for Puma man I don't like MC nearly as much. And Everyone on teamliquid hates cheese so if anyone wins with it in a tournament the get immediate hate. Lets not forget MC was cheesy player not to long ago. And we have seen Puma beat MC before without cheesing so I would say that he deserved this win. Out classed.

good for you man. I think you are in the minority here so have fun. I'll root for the classier player which is MC>


MC is classier than whom, Puma? How do you draw this conclusion?


wow, you don't even know SC2 history?

how about Puma just doing some shady things to TSL. just back stabbing coach Lee.
Never explained the EG situtation correctly or loudly enough for Lee to understand what EG wanted with Puma. Puma is the one at fault. I don't blame EG for wanting Puma. I don't blame coach lee for getting upset. Puma should have communicated the situation much better and didn't.
which makes him a you know what in my estimation.

MC: always reaches out to the foreign community. ballsy and entertaining to watch. Never did BM moves to any of his team-mates or sponsors or the game..

this is so easy,and you can't even understand my points.

MC is far classier than Puma. it's not even a contest of debate.


Joke ?

Puma talked to his coach before, problem was his coached cried in a interview cause he didn't sign a contract and rain, tester and fruitdealer also left, was very childish move by coach lee, but he has had so much drama with sc2 con aswell for treating his players badly.

btw you know puma didn't have a salary, right ?

Puma never bmed anyone, MC made the throat slash to idra and several disrespectful things to opponents after winning or before games, like slamming booth, saying his opponents are easy, etc

Never liked MC


MC is just an entertainer man.. that's theater.


I don't think Puma did. I remember the reports of why Puma felt uncomfortable at the TSL after the
NASL finals.. He didn't tell the coach quickly which is BM. Nor was there a team discussion
on Puma's part with coach lee.

I'm not bashing Puma. All I am saying is that MC is a classier player, style wise and person wise.

that's how I think, and I think lot's of people will agree with me here.


Lol, seriously? He wasn't contracted nor was he getting paid. There's no need for a full team discussion. Just because a lot of people will agree with you doesn't mean you're right. I think you're also having trouble reading the guys posts you're responding to. Stay classy, lol.

Grats again PuMa.

Not me, you're a moron.

Not telling your coach immediately is BM? Fuck that. His coach bitched and played the pity card to the media before anything was signed. What if that jeopardized Puma's contract with EG? If Coach Lee really cared about his players he would want what's best for them and have kept his mouth shut. Did Nazgul whine and complain about Huk leaving before anything was finalized? NO.

If I was in Puma's position I would have flipped him off and packed my shit immediately.





1.there is no need to use curses. No where am I attacking your character or slandering you dude. take a chill pill

I'm allowed to have my opinions of Puma and his relationship with TSL. I read the threads as much as you.

I do remember full well that Puma was hiding something from Coach Lee. the fact that coach lee bitched and complained to the press was BM by himself. But that was after the fact.

Get your facts straight, before you start calling other people morons. I never insulted you until now. You started this flame



Facts? The only facts we have are from Coach Lee's weepy testimony to PlayXP and even then the only thing he said was that he noticed Puma sighing a lot. Puma's a grown man and he's not even contracted to TSL. If I was weighing an offer from a competitor the last thing I want to do is talk to my manager.

TL:DR - you're still a moron

getting heated over some player that has no influence over your life.. Look who the fool truly is dude. take a big look at mirror and you'll see who the dunce is.

I am not going to be that passionate over some Korean player that BM a team. I just won't root for him or call him a classy player. that is my right. Most people will agree. You can have yours. No one is denying it.. so take a chill pill and rest in the sun, you'll feel better afterwards.

1.. BTW it's the way he handled TSL which was BM. I am not against Korean players leaving to foreing teams. THAT is a good thing. Just be polite and grateful to the coach of TSL. I bet the coach would;ve handled the situation differently if Puma was just more reponsible, which he wasn't at that point in time.

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 .


I don't think Puma 1/1/1'd MC in the NASL finals. In fact, I remember him playing some pretty beastly games. Am I wrong? I kind of agree with your point about the 1/1/1's potency, but come on... you really think Flash's practice partner is a scrub?

The 1/1/1 looks unbeatable right now. Just like every other powerful build that's ever been discovered. And I agree that if a serious response isn't developed, it will constitute a serious imbalance. But you know full well there's going to be a delay between problem and solution. Abusive builds have come and gone, but pros can't be blamed for using them, and so far the vast majority of them have been solved through innovation, not patches.


1-1-1 has been around since the beta. It was potent then it's more potenter now due to constant protoss nerfs.


So you're taking issue with the word 'discovered', right? OK, conceded. Which nerfs in particular would you blame for this increased potency?


While not addressed to me I'll give your two.

3 gate stargate and 4 gate were counters to 1/1/1 which is why it disappeared. Now VR only does 25 DPS to bunker/depot where terren is hold up teching instea of 41 DPS (with VR nerf). Now one round on units less comes to front door which is not enough to break it anymore with WG nerf.

Resurgence is due to nerfs unrelated to PvT but was to address PvP 4 gate everygame and PvZ lack of anti air imbalance but now has Terrans exploiting those nerfs.

The cause behind the whine:

MC loses because of his army being EMPed, and losing a warp prism with some templar in it, huge mistakes that are Puma outplaying him

MC snipes off drops constantly, snipes off half of Puma's production facilities, has better econ, etc. but it doesn't really matter.

For MC to get outplayed, in two seconds if his army is clumped slightly and his incredibly slow templar which clump naturally getting EMP'd. Or his army is caught out of position and his opponent runs in with a stim. While these are obviously big mistakes, MC has to constantly babysit his army, watch the warp prism, macro, and watch for drops at the same time and if any of those things falter he is screwed. Puma, on the other hand, does not get blindsided and caught out of position because his army naturally remains in a clump that fires in all directions equally well, him losing medivacs with units is kind of irrelevant, any protoss drop except half your army in warp prisms will be dealt with with the reinforcements coming from his barracks, etc.

While the matchup might not be imbalanced, it is ridiculously difficult to outplay your way to a victory as protoss v terran in those levels, whereas terran v protoss it can happen in the blink of an eye. That's why any mistake MC does is easily the reason he loses but if terran loses it's usually from sitting in 4 storms. MC's army is dependent on his supporting spellcaster and if it dies his army melts away. The terran army is enhanced greatly by ghosts but still wins without them. High templar are just the modern replacement for colossi and ghosts are the new vikings.

Name one protoss that would do better than MC in those situations. Name 20 terrans who can do the same as Puma. If you cover up the name Puma, how many other korean terrans could that have been executing the same exact thing?

Between coach and Puma. I never said the whole team.

I have no trouble responding to people. I am allowed to have my views on players, based on certain qualities they have. I am not going to bash them but i certainly won't root for them or make them out to be awesome dudes.

You can have yours views too. I never said people aren't allowed to see things differently. I still think MC is classier, and that's okay. you may think otherwise, that's fine.

Update on 3:

3. MC did a stargate opening to counter 1-1-1 and failed, because no banshee where made

rest i agree

ps read the sarcasm

tx for the correction and explanation. no sarcasm intended


the sarcasm was on the original post . Lets hope we will see a better final next time arround, waiting so long and then looking to see a 1-1-1 is not my cup of thee.

Rofl. Dude wtf. A win is a damn win and I cheered for Puma man I don't like MC nearly as much. And Everyone on teamliquid hates cheese so if anyone wins with it in a tournament the get immediate hate. Lets not forget MC was cheesy player not to long ago. And we have seen Puma beat MC before without cheesing so I would say that he deserved this win. Out classed.

good for you man. I think you are in the minority here so have fun. I'll root for the classier player which is MC>


MC is classier than whom, Puma? How do you draw this conclusion?


wow, you don't even know SC2 history?

how about Puma just doing some shady things to TSL. just back stabbing coach Lee.
Never explained the EG situtation correctly or loudly enough for Lee to understand what EG wanted with Puma. Puma is the one at fault. I don't blame EG for wanting Puma. I don't blame coach lee for getting upset. Puma should have communicated the situation much better and didn't.
which makes him a you know what in my estimation.

MC: always reaches out to the foreign community. ballsy and entertaining to watch. Never did BM moves to any of his team-mates or sponsors or the game..

this is so easy,and you can't even understand my points.

MC is far classier than Puma. it's not even a contest of debate.


Joke ?

Puma talked to his coach before, problem was his coached cried in a interview cause he didn't sign a contract and rain, tester and fruitdealer also left, was very childish move by coach lee, but he has had so much drama with sc2 con aswell for treating his players badly.

btw you know puma didn't have a salary, right ?

Puma never bmed anyone, MC made the throat slash to idra and several disrespectful things to opponents after winning or before games, like slamming booth, saying his opponents are easy, etc

Never liked MC


MC is just an entertainer man.. that's theater.


I don't think Puma did. I remember the reports of why Puma felt uncomfortable at the TSL after the
NASL finals.. He didn't tell the coach quickly which is BM. Nor was there a team discussion
on Puma's part with coach lee.

I'm not bashing Puma. All I am saying is that MC is a classier player, style wise and person wise.

that's how I think, and I think lot's of people will agree with me here.


Not me, you're a moron.

Not telling your coach immediately is BM? Fuck that. His coach bitched and played the pity card to the media before anything was signed. What if that jeopardized Puma's contract with EG? If Coach Lee really cared about his players he would want what's best for them and have kept his mouth shut. Did Nazgul whine and complain about Huk leaving before anything was finalized? NO.

If I was in Puma's position I would have flipped him off and packed my shit immediately.





1.there is no need to use curses. No where am I attacking your character or slandering you dude. take a chill pill

I'm allowed to have my opinions of Puma and his relationship with TSL. I read the threads as much as you.

I do remember full well that Puma was hiding something from Coach Lee. the fact that coach lee bitched and complained to the press was BM by himself. But that was after the fact.

Get your facts straight, before you start calling other people morons. I never insulted you until now. You started this flame



Facts? The only facts we have are from Coach Lee's weepy testimony to PlayXP and even then the only thing he said was that he noticed Puma sighing a lot. Puma's a grown man and he's not even contracted to TSL. If I was weighing an offer from a competitor the last thing I want to do is talk to my manager.

TL:DR - you're still a moron

getting heated over some player that has no influence over your life.. Look who the fool truly is dude. take a big look at mirror and you'll see who the dunce is.

I am not going to be that passionate over some Korean player that BM a team. I just won't root for him or call him a classy player. that is my right. Most people will agree. You can have yours. No one is denying it.. so take a chill pill and rest in the sun, you'll feel better afterwards.

1.. BTW it's the way he handled TSL which was BM. I am not against Korean players leaving to foreing teams. THAT is a good thing. Just be polite and grateful to the coach of TSL. I bet the coach would;ve handled the situation differently if Puma was just more reponsible, which he wasn't at that point in time.





Ugh back to this again. Back it up, how did Puma handle it wrong? Waiting to tell his coach? That's a pretty pathetic argument.

Well all balance discussions aside it was a nerf breaking finals. Damn some very good games to watch!

First game: i really believed MC had this after the first all-in failed.

Second game: Puma way behind losing dropships, 2 production facilities etc. But coming back after killing one dropship and landing a good EMP.

Third game: was bizare, puma also got supplied blocked in the beginning of the game, but managed to get the 1-1-1 into a base trade situation, if it wasn't for that raven

Puma is really a beast but i must say MC is so damn good, sad to see him go down in this fashion.

Beautifully written lol


1. MC should have but didn't win game 1.

2. MC should have and didn't win game 2.

3.MC: rattled and starts using some crazy strats.

Puma is not a beast IMO. MC though needs some help in the up and down matches though. GL MC..



Update on 3:

3. MC did a stargate opening to counter 1-1-1 and failed, because no banshee where made

rest i agree

ps read the sarcasm


yea i said that a few post ago but one thing that makes no sense is if your going stargate then dont get blink and that many stalkers get change and zealots

The thing is there's a fine line between balance whine and balance discussion. Some people don't know how to control themselves from getting too incensed.

3/4 Top players are Toss. Interesting. First time I've seen this many Toss stacked at the top of a good tourney. Usually at least five or six Terrans in there. =P

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 .


I don't think Puma 1/1/1'd MC in the NASL finals. In fact, I remember him playing some pretty beastly games. Am I wrong? I kind of agree with your point about the 1/1/1's potency, but come on... you really think Flash's practice partner is a scrub?

The 1/1/1 looks unbeatable right now. Just like every other powerful build that's ever been discovered. And I agree that if a serious response isn't developed, it will constitute a serious imbalance. But you know full well there's going to be a delay between problem and solution. Abusive builds have come and gone, but pros can't be blamed for using them, and so far the vast majority of them have been solved through innovation, not patches.


1-1-1 has been around since the beta. It was potent then it's more potenter now due to constant protoss nerfs.


So you're taking issue with the word 'discovered', right? OK, conceded. Which nerfs in particular would you blame for this increased potency?

3 gate stargate and 4 gate were counters to 1/1/1 which is why it disappeared. Now VR only does 25 DPS to bunker/depot where terren is hold up teching instea of 41 DPS (with VR nerf). Now one round on units less comes to front door which is not enough to break it anymore with WG nerf.


I think the warp gate nerf will be undone. It didn't fix PvP at all. Didn't they nerf VR for the sake of team games?
