The following is a list of behaviors that will get immediate bans:

1. Whining about stream
2. Bashing other games
3. Flaming other users
4. Bashing players
5. Complaining about imbalance

Basically just be respectful. Aside from that, enjoy the games, make sure you bring an umbrella and have some delicious waffles! (#)

Well... at least 1-1-1 is looking a bit more mortal. But it really does take a perfect engagement to destroy it. It's just so frustrating to watch

It was pretty clear that Kiwi tried to trick Puma into doing the 1-1-1, hoping to hold it.

Why is it so clear?

Because of the map pick and his BO. It was brilliant by Kiwi.

Lol at Terran players talking about stalling more. Stalling more for what? To face more Pumarines (These are particulary brutal) without AoE.
Tbh I don't know if a range 6 immortal could help here. I hope protoss players can find a solution or this match up is going to be soo fucked up until HotS.
It's soo frustrating see your opponent get stalled with 15 workers in the middle of the map and know that it almost doesn't matter.
Don't hate Puma, if you think this build is retarded, imba and take 0 skills hate the game.

Don't worry friends. If a tournament for money, I think everyone can agree that you must play to win. Puma did exactly that, even if he had to abuse the 1/1/1 build to do it. It's still playing for money and winning what counts, not how you do it. Let's all hope Kiwi can fight his way through tomorrow to the Finals.

So that's it for day 2?

For a second I was upset, because the lack of MLG means I have no excuse to keep procrastinating.

Then I remembered the rewind button, and the games I missed while sleeping. =)

because after the 20 second warpgate nerf 2 rax is guarunteed to force a cancel on the nexus or kill it and then its basically free win for terran, search for why Koreans think the 1/1/1 is imbalanced thread.


I'm pretty sure 1 gate FE into 3 gates can hold any 2 rax.

Lol... Here comes the 1/1/1 imba posts when Kiwi just had to stall longer...

He was getting a good enough composition to beat it if he just stalled longer and warped in more stalkers.

And WHY would he pick Xelnaga when 1/1/1 is so strong on that map... I can't figure his thought process.


I actually think he picked that map because he wanted Puma to go 1/1/1 since Kiwi said before that he had a strategy worked out to deal with it. He probably could have with a bit better decision making, it looked quite good for him up until he decided to engage.

quoted for truth

protoss diamond players in the thread needs to stop crying because it's getting really old. it is not unbalanced one bit. Kiwi did not counter that build and he wasnt even expecting it since he put up a nexus that he later cancelled.


:-D :-D :-D :-D I am Masters terran and I still think its a little bit too strong...have someone even ever held it, if he didn't know its coming, like 3 gate exp doesnt work, 3 gate robo neither, 4gate + robo + stargate may... we can easily get back the 5 raxx reaper vs. Z and terran it all the way!! But than it wud be all TvT's and blue flames :-D...

Kiwi picked that map because he's confident he can hold if the 1/1/1. In fact, he expected puma to do it. QQ'ing when you engaged a sieged line is...well, QQ'ing.

GG puma. Was rooting for select though.

I love how people don't say shit when Kiwi 2 base all-ins every game he played before it, and Puma all ins one game and people started flaming him. (i know the 1/1/1 situation, but it is just double standard.)

It's not a double standard. 2 base all ins don't win 90% of the time and only fail if Protoss fucks up.

Also I wouldn't have cared had he cheesed. But using something that's pretty much impossible to stop is a bit much. Any other all in would've been fine. At least the Protoss has a chance to beat it.

1/1/1 they really don't. They literally have to be perfect.

What Kiwi did wrong was that he did not flank from two sides. I've rarely seen a well executed 1/1/1 defeated except by flanking. You need to split the marines and scvs from the tanks and go in from behind with zealots and/or immortals. This also minimizes tank splash.

The weakness of the 1/1/1 all-in is the same weakness that Protoss death balls have - they have to stay together, which makes it possible for you to out-maneuver them and flank, esp. given the siege/unsiege delay. Protoss can learn a few tips from Zergs in this respect.

Puma just lost any respect I had for him.

Stop you can't blame him for using a strong build


You can, MVP has self respect so he refuses to use 1-1-1, there's a real player


self respect refusing to use a specific build? that's just retarded, thats like saying its self respect to not 6pool someone

dont think MVP can pull off 1-1-1 builds as perfectly as puma does.

not to mention MVP's immense self respect of 2 rax bunker rushing his teammate and using a op bunker positioning for auto win
true self respect when using your logic >____> right

If you go 1 gate FE into 6gate mass zealots, you can easily block 1/1/1...

except if they go anything else than 1/1/1 or go cloak banshee u are just f***ed.

I really think DRG has a shot at winning this. but i think whoever comes out of the winners bracket tomorrow will almost certainly win it.
