Are people seriously whining over mules cus of that game? Both players were effectively mining from like 1 base the last 20 mins of the game. Idras income was barely any higher than pumas.

They were both denying expansions/mining. Idra was doing it arguably a lot more efficiently because he moved drones, remade expansions, etc. Puma lifted orbitals and it was enough to keep him even. It's okay for balance but it isn't particularly entertaining and it doesn't feel good.

Just cause there were no entire army fights doesn't make it boring. There was plenty of harass from both of them as well as small army engagements that made it interesting.

puma is down 0-2 but i cant see him losing this series
he outplayed idra so hard in g2, just loss cus of the map

You trolling? I usually enjoy your posts but c'mon. The normal IdrA would have ragequit in G2 but he played it out. I could easily see IdrA losing this series, but saying that you "can't see" IdrA winning 1 out of 3 games is pretty ridiculous... Especially when it's cross map on Shakuras.


TT1 actually hates IdrA IRL. I remember he said he wanted to physically punch him in the face. Hes usually pretty awesome in live threads, but if hes drunk its a whole other story lol.



uhh i dont hate idra, plz dont put words in my mouth ^^
all im saying is after watching g2 i could see how big the skill gap was

Wow super smart play by Puma, starting up the 2 hellions in the factory when IdrA's lings were going to go back up the ramp, but then cancelling them when he kills the lings. Awesome.

The fact that a terran can stay in the game with 16 scvs is a fundamental flaw in this game


Use common sense.

With protoss macro mechanics, they will have more probes than terran and make them faster.

Therefore if a protoss lost the same amount of probes as Puma had he wouldn't have 16 probes hed have over 30.

A zerg can build 20+ drones at a time at this stage of the game.

Everyone is so quick to point out mules because it's easy to see, but just use your brain and stop crying.


True, but Mules let you get free minerals. You can't make drones if you're broke.


MULEs don't make minerals appear out of nowhere. MULEs are very fast money yes, but they do not come without a price. More MULEs = less money late game and as you just saw from that previous game Puma was starving at the end...because of MULEs.


Good thing orbitals can fly.


You can't drop MULEs when Orbitals are flying.

He could've taken another base.

1) MULE's are ENERGY. They are free minerals in terms of "you don't need to do anything to get these minerals except for cast a spell"
2) Supply Drops ADD 100 MINERALS to the map. In some situations this is worth it over a MULE.

There were at least 6 expos that were not used at all. I guess the map is pretty hard to defend though.

It looks like Idra is really strong mentally in these games. In the last game I swear i saw at least 4-5 times where Idra would throw out a gg, but no he kept in it. Idra looking beastly!

The real nice surprise in this series is Idra's attitude. He hasn't ragequit this whole tournament and held the pressure in that last game very well. This coming from an Idra Anti-fan

Depends if he has practiced with puma that much lately. Idra hates US-Korean practice because of the latency.

Puma's play has really decayed since leaving TSL. This is not the same guy that beat MC at NASL.

He helps MVP, Top and all these other players train for important matches. Its still the same bro

Source? I know he used to be a practice partner in BW but I'm not sure about sc2.

That's kind of how I feel about the series so far. Playing passively is what Idra wants.


He was as aggressive as he could be considering he coudlnt afford to lose his army. If he attacks into Idra with everything he has he would probably win the fight but not have enough units left to kill him and Idra would be able to remake his army and Puma woudlnt and Idra would win.
