Puma doesn't gain anything from winning. EG gets tons of publicity from their most talked about and famous player winning. Idra hasn't put together a good result in a while. And then there's this tweet: http://i.imgur.com/ssWYE.png I mean it probably was legitimate games, but to instantly cuss out those raising questions is ignorant. This type of thing has happened in esports tons of times before. The reason people cuss out those raising questions is that it's a pretty serious accusation. If players are fixing matches, then there goes the credibility of the sport. That isn't something you should just throw around when someone pulls off an upset or when one player looks worse than you'd expect them to. If there's evidence, if there's a pattern, if there's anything substantial, then sure. But just saying "Puma didn't look good against Idra, must have thrown the match on purpose" is pretty awful in my opinion. That's actually a big deal, this is supposed to be a real competition, not a professional wrestling match. Edit @ the tweet: probably just a tweet :-p Hopefully. If you think he's serious about that, then sure, discuss it, I just get frustrated when some people talk about match fixing so casually -.- | ||

Seems to me like Hallucinating some HTS would be a good way to keep them from being sniped or EMPd. Any reasons not to do this? Thats a really good idea, dont know why protosses dont do that :o actually vs zerg hallucinated lossus are really annoying aswell vs corrupters. | ||

These LR threads are seriously becoming a pile of shit talk. | ||

Just imagine with a handful of sentires you can trick terran into thinking you're running a bunch of zealots into his bio = emp wasted on hallucinated zealots. do you know how much energy it costs to use hillu? | ||

He beat MC with 3 1/1/1 in a row?When he hit the wall like NaDa,MVP or Bomber, he looked so weak. Koreans Puma has beaten in recent tournaments: Alive (NASL Open Tournament) 3-2 Clide (NASL Open Tournament) 2-0 Squirtle (NASL Finals) 2-1 July (NASL Finals) 3-1 MC (NASL Finals) 4-3 MC (IEM Cologne) 3-0 Nada (Pool D Play MLG Raleigh) 2-1 Moonan (Pool D Play MLG Raleigh) 2-0 JYP (IEM Guangzhou) 3-0 So yeah, we have 4 Terrans, 3 Protoss, and a Zerg there. In addition in the above tournaments he beat Dimaga, Ret, Sheth, Kiwikaki, Hasuobs, Nightend, Socke, Nerchio, SaSe, and Stephano. Puma is for real. | ||

Colossus are the same problem as templers. Puma can just dance around units but instead the vikings snipe the colossus. I guess warp prism HT's is the way to go | ||

If he hadn't looked so impressive I might consider it, but as is do not think Puma threw that game at all. | ||
