I know he's not in KR anymore, but playing decently in foreign tournaments doesn't cut it for "Top 5 terran". Maybe Top 10. Maybe. What Terran would you put above Puma? Puma took out Losira and Bomber at the last MLG, who are both Code S players. He beat Polt at MLG Orlando. And he just beat DRG, Huk and Idra. This is how I see it: #1 MVP #2 MMA #3 MKP #4 Puma #5 Bomber | ||

I guess you have not seen the last two games. Puma dominated game 1 completely and was ahead in game 2 until he did that huge mistake. He looked stronger today. He did not cheesed his way to the next round. | ||

It doesn't matter how well you do in foreign tournaments. Look at Naniwa. Allstar abroad and scrub in Korea. | ||

What, Puma hasn't done anything in korea. The only common tournament those players have been at with puma is mlg and puma has never won an mlg. Puma is not even a top 10 terran in korea. There's a reason he hasn't qualified for gsl one time yet even during open seasons. Puma just has more opportunity than those other players to go to foreign tournaments, so has more international exposure, which tends to blind people into silly statements. | ||

I cant help but think people throw the 'only foreign tournaments' trying to say he only beats on scrubs And he doesn't go too deep in those foreign tournaments when he hits high level koreans. Remember MLG pool play is rather strange always and until deep in the champ bracket you usually get to face only foreigners. PuMa usually gets eliminated early in the "Top 12" range by some korean. You must also remember that foreigner tournaments normally do not include any degree of specific preparation, unlike GSL, which makes the tournament a lot harder since it means you require a different practice type to be successful. I'll list 10 KR terrans who I think are significantly better than PuMa: MVP, MMA, Polt, MKP, Supernova, jjakji, Ganzi, Taeja, Bomber, Happy. And the list could go on, there's many mid-tier korean terrans that are about the same level as him, I'd put him there. Certainly not a top KR terran. | ||
