Exactly. Everyone arguing how to properly pronounce it is so freakin' retarded.
Until we hear Puma himself actually pronounce his GAMER TAG, there's no fucking discussion. Can we at least go back to 1/1/1 or Archon toilet or something? (note: GAMER TAGS may or may not be words in a dictionary context, though similar spellings may occur).

Forget WhiteRa game, do you think Puma outplayed Hero? Honest opinion, even setting aside the fact that Hero is your teammate. i think hero made a lot of mistakes, especially in game three. i think people aren't able to judge who played better. they look for high difficulty strategies and tactics, i guess. but the fact is, application of good basic strategy + making less mistakes than your opponent = win. Thanks for your answer. Sure, Hero made mistakes, everybody does. However, Puma made plenty of them as well, in that first game, do you agree? The point here is following, you cannot make nearly as many mistakes as a Protoss, it seems. Terran has such a comeback factor that he can play like garbage for segments of game or lose a lot of units, but then, he is still back as a threat with marines. Is this a fair assessment? Could you name the mistakes that Puma made in Game 1? Because Hero killing Puma's 3rd base and sacrificing his army (while Puma suffered minimal losses army wise) was a bad decision
As far as I am concerned, in an ideal world, that engagement which you call "sacrificing his army" shouldn't have been the way it is. An army consisting of zealots, stalkers, sentries and archons are evaporated by marines and marauders. Puma did absolutely nothing special, he just a-moved.
I would at least expect more losses from him.
Look, that was not a "mistake" by Hero. And it was not any "great play" by Puma. So yes, Puma won that game not because of great play or outplaying. If by outplaying you mean a-moving with MMM, then yes, he surely did. And he did "great" with steams.

tank marine is very hard to stop on this map (Antiga). Its so open in the middle but the gold sorta act like the golds on xel'naga. I hate golds... Well the difference is that you have to hold the middle position to keep your gold effectively on Antiga because the center of the map has a high ground. Xelnaga its a bit easier.
Yeah i agree.
But, generally the gold on those maps allows you to gain massive monies and be in a hugely aggressive position with the ability to put on heavy pressure.

I guess that people didn't understand what I meant. What I meant to imply was that Americans don't normally take the time to pronounce things correctly most of the time. As said in the quote above, Puma is according to the IPA pronounciation, [ˈpumɒ], or for those who can't read IPA, it roughly sounds like like pyuma. For reference you in IPA is ju.

Ok, never mind, i'm done talking to silver leaguers
Oh, and you do know people can win games without outplaying their opponent? which i never stated Puma did.
And i used the word sacrifice because that is what it turned out to be. + nice job not answering the question

Australians, British People, Americans, Canadians, Americans in the South, New Zealanders, all have slightly different variants of English. Nobody has the "correct" variety. The English we speak now, in both countries, is fairly dissimilar to the English that was spoken in the 18th century when US English began to diverge from the English spoken in England.
Puma is of Quechan origin(a tribe of Native Americans who reside in Arizona). About the only person with a legitimate claim to the correct pronunciation would be someone who speaks Quechan.
