2) hero could've gone for the huk build (= very fast expand, then crono out stalkers, so there are 5-7 of them very fast). Stalkers can kite marines forever so puma would've died.
I really don't understand this game
He's mindgaming HerO - Hero refuses to all-in in all matchups unless he really has to. This means that Puma can safely guess what Hero can do early game.
you mean MLG orlando where he VR allin'd every other game, he plays tourneys different than ladder.
OK: I should have said "apart from VR allins", but 4rax Marines crushes that anyway, which is why Puma felt safe to push out.

Have you ever seen his stream? His standard strat against terran is 3 gate voidray and 1 gate proxy gate.
