Anyone who continues this absolutely terrible off topic time of play debate from page 11 and onward will be banned.

The same goes for the regular crowd of:

-Balance whiners
-Stream whiners
-Event and caster bashers
-HoN vs LoL vs Dota debaters

Stick to the games and enjoy your free event.

Nah, foreign terrans still can't win anything, that was the main issue since the beginning, thorzain/Major/Kas don't seem to be any worse than naniwa or stephano to me, why can't they ever win?Is that because terran requires absolute top tier micro that only a very selected few( i.e top 10 korean terrans) have?I think it is, this tournament did nothing to prove otherwise.
I like the part where sense is considered a common, settled thing.

HerO really blew that last game, he waited WAY too long to engage.


Yea, seriously at one point he was up 3-2 to 1-1 in upgrades and within 5 supply of Puma, he could have won an engagement, secured his third, and won the game from there. Instead he let his base get canceled 3 times, waited till Puma's gold kicked in, waited till puma caught up in upgrades and made a million vikings/ghosts plus jumped up to a 20-30 supply lead :-/ Guess he thought he was more behind than he was and thought his only chance was to turtle till max supply, bad mistake.


Its tough we have perfect information while they do not but you are right. If I see my opponent is 1-1 to my 3-2 I would have to try something. But Hero got to the finals playing his style... I can't help the map played a role in this as well. I really wish they would remove gold bases all together.


upgrades really do matter. It won Thorzain a game against PUma. with this +1 upgrade marines with combat shield.

Hero is playing such a strict style,, he doesn't seem to be making out of the box decisions, common sense decisions that you need to make in SC2 to win.. 3-2 Upgrades, you have to try to engage to see if you can over-run the army.. But he played scared.

If thats true I hope his incoming ban is more than 2 days.


It was Puma who said it.

Puma did say something like that, and for a (very) short while had the nickname Skincare Terran.

Sad that Hero lost but not disappointed.

Game 4 on Crevase was simply amazing. Having no AOE and still outplaying Puma only to lose to a observer snipe.

Sure he losses this one, but in a few months Hero is going to be an even bigger beast than he is now and I can't wait for that day to come

ghosts are way too beefy

I always wondered why they are neither armored like infestors nor light like HTs. Seems like an oversight on Blizzard's part.

Archons are the same way. The lack of armored classification makes tanks and marauders pathetically weak against them.

Archons are MASSIVE, ghosts are not. Why don't ghosts have another classification? They don't look like they should be damage tanks, yet they are more tanky than marauders because they have no other classification.

Must say that the final game just wasn't too exciting.. Even felt like Day9 and Wheat didn't care too much. >.>

Great weekend overall though, just wish the times weren't so shitty for europeans (currently 7am here rofl).

Congrats to PUma.. you deserved the 50K.. and you're rich Biatch.. (lol)

Hero... almost.. but you kind of lost your focus in the finals. I guess you are kind of still new to the showdown, publicity of intense finals series. Hopefully, you'll get more used to the pressure as years go.. I still believe in you man.


Agreed, also he flew around the world again this week because of GSL which doesnt seem ideal.

ye i loved the authentic screams when the zealot killed 2 marines and they screamed when they announced bashir lol
like the guy who screamed when 1 irrelevant pylon went down during season 1 and there was the very funny picture in the thread
but ye at the end NASL made the best out of the worse and they bought some "clapping-sticks"at least and let some drunk people in.
its not a conspiracy.even day9 had to laugh a bit;)

grats to puma

This NASL finals was really awesome for me. As much as I LOOOOOOOVE Liquid`HerO, I kind of wanted PuMa to get revenge for DH. Great job PuMa!

Yeah and IMHO it adds a lot to the tension in this rivalry. Cannot wait for the next MLGs and Dreamhacks.
