"Hurr durr it's Team Liquid so of course we're biased!!"

Eugh. No. I'm supporting Hero, he's easily my favourite Protoss, and I find Puma's play very boring to watch. However, Puma deserves to be up 3-2 in this series. The bias is when people act as though Puma is terrible and doesn't deserve any wins and blahblahblah. That's just stupid, and not explained by being a fan, unless inability to understand StarCraft or be logical is part of being a fan of a player.


Not. the. definition. of. bias.

Simply being a fan is not a form of bias. Acting as though your favourite player is playing better than someone you're not a fan of when they aren't is a form of bias.

Being a fan is good. Being biased is stupid by definition.



Anyway, Puma loves to leave one Marauder behind. Poor guys.


Being a fan is bias, bias is defined as "a particular tendency or inclination, especially one that prevents unprejudiced consideration of a question".


Being a fan doesn't lead to bias. I'm a big fan of MMA and I'm one of the first to point out when he screws up.

HerO GETS OFF SICK FFS but PuMa's army is too much as HerO backs off again

PuMa is also playing passive and just massing up

Both players have stabilized

HerO now getting a twilight council

HerO's 3rd is canceled as PuMa's army hits it
HerO sends 2 zealots at PuMa to harass his expansion

PuMa blocks the 2 zealots but had to cancel his armory, delaying his upgrades which is huge

HerO doing an EXCELLENT job of keeping PuMa at bay

PuMa moves in again to cancel HerO's 3rd

HerO has a stalker/colossi/templar/zealot comp

PuMa has a marine/marauder/viking/medivac/ghost comp

HerO's huge advantage however is his upgrades

PuMa now gets ready to move in

Strange game. Puma could have killed hero about 37 times over but doesn't. Hero knows he could but just seems to tech very greedy anyways.


It's because of HerO's bluffing aggression, it gives Puma pause and makes him doubt his army strength relative to HerO's

I'm pretty sure Hero has quite an upgrade advantage

Jesus Christ it's hard to kill turtling Protoss. Puma playing very smart not engaging and just denying the 3rd.
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

Why doesn't hero take that right side 2 o'clock base?
Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

Hero probably has to just try to max out and win in one fell swoop here.
