Don't know why you have to be so worked up over someone just having a different opinion of a player than you. I get it, you love stephano but you could just relax and stop trying to convince everyone to masturbate to the sight of stephanos play.

GAH. Fine, I'm going to see if I can't corner Puma and get him to change his name to Cougar or MtLion or Catamount or Nightscreamer or one of the other fifty bazillion names for that cat. *grump*

I wonder why everyone says Stephano is one of the best Zergs in the "world" when he hasn't gone up against top Korean opponents other than a very few encounters. Oh for sure, he's one of the best foreign Zerg, but has he beaten MMA, Ganzi, DRG, Genius, MC? Much less consistently? Naniwa and Thorzain got hyped to extreme and we saw what happen to them in Korea. Hell, people still say Idra is one of the top Zerg in the world even given his dismal recent results.
Doesn't take away the fact that he's a great player who has shown he can take down the likes of MKP and Polt according to TLPD results, but to qualify for one of the best in the world, he needs to beat players who are the very top, not toy with Mana, Real, Elfi...

Stephanos worst matchup is ZvT

What are you reading? Everyone has.
"What? He's 29-0? So what? Did he beat MC? NO. Overhyped foreigner".
"Easy to win 30 vP in a row against trash players like these."
"If this was Genius, and that was Parting, and he was MC, and those were Oz and Puzzle, he would have lost".
Every single one of you is acting genuinely irritated by the fact that Stephano beats players.

if polt wins this, tournament will be referenced when ppl want to show off polts quality. pretty good. if puma wins, tournament will be referenced to be won by just another korean on a foreign team. meh. if stephano wins, tournament will be referenced when ppl want to show off stephanos quality. not as good as polt, because not as much ppl know him (korea vs the world conflict) if the other guy wins, we all lose;-)

ugh, i wake up and every protoss, including hero, is gone. /sadface.

Nonono. Find whoever called it a puma in the first place, and ask him to instead spell it pooma. Then we'll all agree on how it's meant to be spelled.

American site, American pronouncing both words, everywhere that speaks English as opposed to American English says Pew-ma.

I was hoping for Hero or JYP vs Stephano T_T

To be fair, i realise most if not all the "Stephano fans" is just zealot orgy posting multiple times every page. I don't think majority of us buy into the hype until we see evidence, which is fair imo.

Everyone knows stephano is the best foreign player,its not even worth mentioning annymore. Its just because stephano fans reacting so fierce that its sometimes kinda fun to provoke them

I am also wondering - how is Puma´s/Stephano´s ZvT? Anyone got some good info on either of the two? I don't really know for puma, but he was losing a lot in TvZ lately.
Stephano said in an interview he was afraid of korean terran since his zvt is bad. He mostly trains zvp.

I didn't go about saying NO PEWMA IS WRONG, I was just explaining to everyone since it always seems to be a major issue every time Puma is playing (and since everyone that is like wtf is usually american/canadian) that it is fine to say it either way.
