Puma does this every PvT. He never wins macro games and only wins when he does a 111, 311, marine scv all in or a ghost timing.

Maybe you haven't seen Puma play PvT, but any time Puma wins money at any tournament its the same builds over and over and never any macro games he wins.

I don't like his style either, but if it is going to get the job done then more power to him. I don't think he wants to take it to the late game and I wouldn't blame him because it's very hard to beat a very good protoss player late game.


Indeed.
If anyone denies that Puma's TvP is based on gimmicks he's just in denial.
Sure, it works, but that doesn't mean I have to like it :p

These type of comments are beyond annoying, hero beat puma a week ago, i'd love if people would stop whining about all the balance, and how "bad" players win.. ugh. Obnoxious, just watch the game.


Dude... I just made a comment how annoying it is to play against a marine tank contain... your overreacting and I think almost 99% of fellow protoss will agree how annoying it is to play against.

Yeah, you wonder why? Puma winning is no big deal, it's just Terran. However Hero winning shows that skill can still beat imbalance and abusiveness. As usual, Toss winning equals playing several levels better than Terran.

At least I know in the long run solid and standard play will always be better than exploitative play.

PuMa decides to bunker up after thinking twice on the matter, HerO taking map control and looking to get agressive however

give credit where credit is due, these games are awsome and both players are playing pretty good, whoever wins this deserves it.


I think most of the rage is because Puma can pull half of his SCVs for an offensive advantage and then micro around Hero's base for 2-3 mins without any serious economic penalty.



Hahahah are you joking?

I think the fact PuMa stayed in the game was due to the severe damage he was causing with his attack meaning that pulling his SCVs was a good rsk to take

Seriously all of you who are crying terran is imba, Or saying that puma is unskilled and is just a cheesey player, please shut up already. I want HerO to win honestly but reading all of these people insulting puma for playing the game to win is fucking absurd. He did a 2 base timing push on a map where the terrain lends its self to a powerful attack like that, WOW that doesn't make him bad.

Those of you who are crying imba or saying what these players should have done, you need to remember these guys are a lot better than you. Crying imbalanced over what you see in a pro-game usually isn't the smartest thing unless you really understand what is going on.

TL;DR leave puma the fuck alone and quit with the negativity towards the players.

To be fair, with hero getting his third in the pocket natural and puma not yet starting a third that would be hard to defend, he'd be pretty screwed if he tried to go from an economic game, wouldn't he?
