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

Gimmicks because every protoss fan thinks marine tank banshee and emps are a gimmick. How the hell are you supposed to win?

Terran needs scv's at the front for repair/bunkers/other buildings., it's about as normal as a protoss building a pylon to reinforce. Stop this "OMG HE PULLED SCV'S OMG!!!!!!!!111" bs

Hero is already out I think because he looked very frustrated after last game, but maybe he will show us iron mental.

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.

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.


^This, many people can understand this simple logic, Why the mule was introduced is just unexplainable, id of much preferred some sort of dbl scv making at a +X more seconds as economic boost instead of a no supply, 50 energy, income of 370 minerals mule.


This would:
1) Less scv pulling all ins.
2) 1-1-1 openings become extremely weaker
3) Less rage from fans

Great game, but it pisses me off that Puma can get away with this and still win. This is what turns me off to PvT. Puma can be not mining for minutes at a time and still win. Shouldn't protoss be the race where 1 of a unit like the banshee is deadly, rather than Terran?

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.


As an angry BW fan, PvT just isn't a good matchup in SC2 at this moment. TvZ is the only one that's really evolved into something resembling the glory of the old days IMO.

Wow. Puma didnt deserve that game =( Hero outplayed him so hard, at the end all came to 2 banshee =(

I completely agree. Air units shouldn't be this strong to be viable, it makes the game too volatile. Make air units faster and weaker.


are you trolling?

HerO got 3 base against a HUGE 2 base allin, didn't get his tech up until wayyy too late, and got punished for it. The base race wouldnt have occurred if HerO wasn't so greedy.

I'm not trolling. SC2 is not BW, but you have to make big tradeoffs when you decide that you want air units to be viable based on hp and attack dmg alone, and thereby they become borderline imba vs ground. Blizzard made those tradeoffs. Sometimes I like it, sometimes I find it makes games less exciting. I wouldn't mind a tweak to the banshee to make it faster and maybe a slightly weaker attack. Nerfing scan cost might help anti-banshee as well. Scan is ridiculous for the cost and size it reveals.

HerO is clearly outplaying Puma, not sure what game you're watching. Just a few missteps have lost HerO all three games.

Really wish he'd get a stargate to shut down the air play.

yea the game would be over if puma lost raven but it was hero who lost observer first so stop writing bs


Well the raven has much more hp... and it moves at the same speed as the terran bio army so its completely covered... observer on the other hand...

The Raven costs 100/200, and requires a tech labbed starport. Yes its better than an observer, that's why it costs so much more.

In NASL season 1 he beat MC in long games. He beat Hero in games 1 and 3 because Hero tried to 2 base all-in and failed miserably.

Stop being whiny little bitches.

Yeah I wish this view would go away... I am a zerg player but I hate it when people complain about terran no matter how they win, macro terran xx unit OP, cheese terran cheesy noob can't win macro. Its a lose/lose and so irritating to read -_-.

Why are posts like this even allowed? Theres nothing wrong with quing units when there is a lot going on, that way you don't stop producing for 3-4 seconds in between cycles, obviously there was a lot going on and the contain had his full attention. Not like protoss has to worry about making units except once every 40s.. Dumb comment


...

Don't call it a dumb comment if you think not having the option to queue makes Protoss stronger than Terran somehow, if there is down time on a gateway, it's lost forever, so that's a terran edge, not a protoss edge. Also, queuing 4 banshees is not a good thing. I'm not saying his comment is brilliant, but "Not like protoss has to worry about making units except once every 40s" doesn't make sense either.
They're fools. You should eat them.

Suiciding his army games one and three and not having detection twice lost him his games. That's not small mistakes. He's getting outplayed. This is not a balance issue.
