I don't think we'll see a real test of PuMa's skill against Korean Terrans until Orlando at the earliest - NaDa was a pretty good preview, but it was still rather close (on both series). Bomber should be a good measuring stick to his ability.


immvp made him look pretty bad in the MLG online invitational.

Who doesn't MVP make look bad?


Wait..didn't bomber beat MVP 2-0 in that invitational?...or am i remembering it wrong?


These debates are stupid. Bomber won vs MVP with pure build order wins. Likewise puma lost vs mvp with unfortunate build order choices.

They weren't even real games.

It's more the fact that MVP has an overall losing record to Bomber. 3-7 from my calculations (1-1 in all GSTLs, 2-4 Code A finals, 0-2 Global Invitational).

TBH I've heard a lot about how PuMa v Idra at the EG house goes Puma's way pretty often, I think both Idra and Incontrol said it themselves.

Shrug - seems weird to 3-0 there buy w/e. If idra looks sloppy in the finals it will make people a lot more suspicious; puma is actually a very strong player and I actually can't even recall last time he got 3-0'd...


He got 2-0d twice out of mlg invitational. Hes good but probably far from the best at this point. Not playing in a korean pro house probably catching up to him a bit.


To be fair he played MVP who has like top 2 tvt in the world lol (I say top 2 because I know bomber's is good unless i'm mistaken). Puma's good but he's not MVP good. Coca's also really good as well its not like he lost to mediocre players.


Rofl Bomber v MVP

Anyways yea... the point wasn't that PuMa is #1 omfg gosu... it's that Idra has been super lackluster, to say the least, and that's probably why people are like WTF 3-0?!?!?!

Honestly makes sense to me, lol. Not anything to really write home about or actually accuse any of. Hopefully it means IdrA is improving a lot - perhaps a result of practicing against puma.

Puma is pretty good and can certainly win in a straight up game, so it is difficult to say his victories are undeserved. Still, this 1-1-1 push is pretty ridiculous. It's just so easy to execute for how goddam strong it is, and Puma throws it in at least once in every vs p series he plays or so it seems. It would be like Hongun going 3 gate void ray cheese in 25% of his matches and winning tournaments with it or a zerg player doing a baneling bust every other game.


Genius does that.

July does that.

Also he didn't win.

15 Minute game and Hasu didn't have templar or collossus -_-

to all the people who complain about balance, he build a robo bay, then canceled it like 10 seconds before it finished. then tech switched into twilight+high templar. hasuobs was completely indecisive, you can get out 2 collossus in time to defend against a 1/1/1 at around the 10min mark, this was 14 mins and he didn't have a single collossus, he could have easily held this with like 4-5 collossi and it IS possible.

stop whining, protoss players are so obnoxious sometimes


Hasu played far from perfectly, but your post is complete bullshit

I was under the impression Puma is in fact practicing in a Korean Pro House. Who keeps spreading these rumors that he isn't? Aren't Huk and Puma in Korea, soon to be joined by Idra and Incontrol?

Not everyone can win every tournament, nor can they do so in a convincing fashion. That Puma is one of those players who consistently comes to tournaments and absolutely devastates players showcases how excellent a player he is. He has done very well in all of the big tournaments he's played in recently.

Did anyone suggest Mvp or NesTea threw their matches to one another? SC2 has a lot of volatility. Errors add up. In my opinion, Puma was trying to metagame the fuck out of Idra by getting in his head the first game by beating him in a pure macro game. That it didn't work backfired. Sometimes, shit doesn't work.

It's awful that people would jump to these sort of conclusions based on only one thing: the person involved. While I can see where bad mannered Idra does a great job helping esports, the idea of accusing players of match-fixing based on a series of close matches is patently absurd.

That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence. Hence, your bullshit is dismissed.

Hasu also lost 12 probes to the first banshee due to slow robo, didn't have/lost his observer before the key engagement, and cancelled his robo bay 10 seconds b4 finish to go a different tech path. It's not as if the game was decided as soon as puma chose to go 1-1-1.

The EG Korean house is not up yet. Huk is still at the oGs-TL house. Puma stayed for awhile after MLG Raleigh at the EG Phoenix house. And he's not staying at a pro house in Korea.

I was almost sure that Hasuobs will hold when the robotics bay was going up but for whatever reason he built more immortals and the council.

Idra and Puma did not join HuK yet... and i dont think incontrol or the rest of EG are joining them, atleast not for a while.

Its a bit confusing actuly, they announced months ago the IdrA + HuK in korea thing and he is still in arizona

Here Here.

IdrA has a lot to do with Esports growth, if you disagree with this, just compare his fan page to the rest in that forum, he's become a legitimate icon for SC2 whether you like him or not.
