Even though the Terran player part of me is always glad to see Terrans doing well in SC2, I gotta say I was pulling for MC in this one. The guy is such a sick nerd showman and really embraces the foreign fans and English language, which is something I have a lot of respect and appreciation for. Beyond that he's been involved in some of the craziest games I've ever seen and always seems to have some amazing micro maneuver up his sleeve that makes me go "oh shit!". Congrats to Puma on a well-earned win, but I'm hoping to see MC get out of this funk and get back to busting skulls like he was the first half of this year.

This thread is such a septic tank. All I wanted was to see how the matches went down because I was unable to stay up to 3am to watch the final.

What I got was pages and pages of useless balance whine, complete and utter bias/fanboy's making posts. Not impressed at the moment and not sure why I even bothered to try to read this thread for actual information ...

The first game of the finals today absolutely blew my mind. MC plays perfectly (or close to it) and holds the first all in, destroying loads of workers and ground forces in the process. MC has double the workers and yet, thanks to those mules, Puma not only stays in the game but comes back to win?

In my opinion thats just too much leeway for Terran. They can totally fuck up their build and lose damn near everything only to just go home and do the same all in again? I've encountered almost the exact same scenario in my ladder matches. I manage to hold a Terran all-in without even losing my expansion and because of mules the bastard damn near comes back to win? Its just too much.

A lot of time when protoss lose to terran, people defend that terran is not op because the protoss player was making this or that mistake in the game. And if we look at the game, I think we can all agree those toss players have room to improve. But the thing is there is no other race can win that many games like terran just by doing all-ins in one base and there is no other race can have down 50 supply and still crush the opponent's army with two emps and one stim easily.
Maybe I do not have enough knowledge to talk about the balance of the game, but I really think playing protoss is harder than playing terran at the highest level and top protoss players deserve more love and credit.

A 150 Protoss death ball is far from impotent vs. a 200 supply zerg army.

Man, I just re-watched Old Boy and realized that it was PuMa who played Nal_rA in the qualifiers for Starleague :@ Screw all that 1-1-1 or Terran OP talk or even the TSL/EG drama, he kicked Nal_rA out of the Starleague qualifier!

Yeah but that wasn't in the early 2000s when Nal_ra was considered good. Look at Pumas brood war track record. He could beat no names but couldn't beat anyone notable.

Wow, 3-0.... Terrans are tearing up the competition these days! Hopefully this is just a metagame shift, not a balance issue.

As I T player I can't wait for 1/1/1 to get figured out so LR threads are full of Z players that switched to P and "hardcore" (lol) P players and realized they can complain about them too. Guarantee it gets figured out.

MC just plays on that razors edge, he just barely has enough to hold stuff off and when he makes a single mistake it fails and he dies. This is why he looks like a genius when it works out for him and why people feel as if he was the better player even though he lost, i most definitely think he's a better player than Puma is.
