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. makes for more entertaining games i suppose. i look forward to watching the replays Grats to Puma, but i am sad a little that MC has come so close to the big finish many times on the international scene | ||

OMG I LOST TO INFESTORS? LOL THEY'LL GET NERFED AND ZERG WILL SUCK AGAIN. OMG 1/1/1 TIMING TOO OP MULES OP OMG 4 GATE OP OMG DEATHBALL OP Like, come on. This is getting so fucking sad to read every single damn day. I've been posting on MLG ever since 2009, and lurking it a lot longer, so I was a bit saddened when I noticed the lack of SC2 action on there. But I realized that's because TL was so solidified and professional, there was no need. You guys are deteriorating rapidly, well at least the SC2 section seems to be. /rant Grats to Puma, they both made mistakes. MC needed to keep up on upgrades in that second game, and why no guardian shieeldd? He needed more sentries. | ||

you know, this build might be strong, but at the same token everyone here universally agrees only a korean terran can pull it off, and what is a korean terran? a machine, not a human, a machine. The fact of the matter is, puma is a fucking beast, mc hasnt been doing that well lately (3 gsls hes had terrible performance in, he even goes to pick mvp in his group. he lost to alica in one gsl, then to hongun, and now to mvp/polt ) The dude while good, isnt the best and has been in a little slump ( hence why he said hes limiting his foreign tournaments cause he himself said hes lacking practice ) Now on to a more proper question is, How do you expect blizzard to truely do anything on a 1/1/1 build. If you change anything you can seriously mess up the entire terran tech tree. Can someone answer me why Mana 2-0 puma, yet because mc cant beat him, its "terribly imba", this is not some random terran, this is PUMA, flashes practise partner, the ballest terran of them all, not even MVP can contest puma, u guys just wait and see , hes going to rape everything. Im very sad his win is getting discredited as imbalance. I guess his lack of 111's in nasl final was the reason he won to ? | ||

FFS they were completely different sets of games. PuMa 1/1/1 all-in'd MC twice and played 2 macro games against MaNa (I repeat, did not all-in mana). I highly doubt MC would have been 3-0'd in macro games. Completely different cases so you cannot compare them. | ||

Completely different cases so you cannot compare them. If you want to get into this it's so easy to say that, based on that logic, protoss > terran in macro games, and that's why puma decided that 1-1-1 allin is the only way to beat good protosses. What would protoss have to say about that? | ||

To be fair, if you nerfed either Banshees or PDD (make it require research), you really wouldn't hurt Terran tech in any way. That said, I wouldn't support either ideas. | ||

PuMa would probably be code A by now but he didn't participate in the last qualifiers | ||

Just becauser your not Code a or s doesnt mean your not better then players in code a/s. DRG was not Code A untill last qualifier. | ||
