Amazing and really close series, MC did some minor mistakes that ended up costing him the game (like pumas upgrade advantage and the lost shuttle full of ht's in game 2), but both player played really well and puma showed why he deserves to be in code s (out of everyone going to raleigh I really hope that puma gets the code s spot).

Anyways would anyone be kind enough to tell me who won the sickest nerd baller hoodie, I kinda missed that.

i watched all 3 finals replays. puma's scouting was 1-step ahead of mc the entire time. he outplayed mc 3x in a row. sure, mc had some nice moves in game 2, and even almost stopped puma in game 1, but puma clearly played better all 3 times.

I'm sorry but watching TvP is kinda meh at the moment. It's Terran doing one build over and over again. OP or not... it's really repetitive and boring to watch.

Personal opinion: Game 1 wasn't decided by Puma although he's a great player. It was basically decided by MULEs. When worker count is 35 to 19 in toss's favour but mineral income remains equal and spikes into the 1k for for terran (~12m20s) then something's just not right in my eyes. Puma should've been in a world of pain after loosing his entire army and half his SCVs yet MULE allowed him to mount a second push as strong as the first a mere three minutes later.
Playing Zerg or Toss you could never come back from loosing a push like this ever. It would be game over, no doubt.
yeah.... whatever

i casted and uploaded the 3 games from the finale a few hours after it ended up. After a quick look on youtube, i noticed that i was the very first one to upload it, as a result, i got a huge spike in my viewership

3k in 24h that's awsome :D

tbh does puma know whitera? whitera in a way kinda reminds me of destiny, he has his own unique style, but if studied it can easily be defeated. I mean whitera uses warpprisms ALOT, i think if puma knew this, he would be better prepared

Quite a few people said that Puma didn't use 1/1/1 on Whitera.

Agreed. Too much toss whining in here when MC just got outplayed plain and simple. Game 1 he defended the 1/1/1 quite well by sacrificing his Nexus to gain a better position but on the second push he probably got overconfident because of his earlier success and threw his army against a well-entrenched siege position. Game 2 MC was waaaaaaaaaaaay ahead but then got steamrolled by an upgraded Terran army and bad decisions (ninja expansion when ahead, horrible engagement on that tower). Now where have we seen that before *cough*TSL*cough*? Game 3 was just plain fun. If only he was able to snipe the Raven! I think this just shows that MC is still not yet in top form. Don't worry guys, he'll get back there eventually - the best players eventually do!
