Yeah :D

I didn't get to watch Puma vs. MMA. Were the games close? Were they good games? Did Puma generally *win* them or did MMA generally *lose* them?

The games were generally very sloppy. Puma hit some strong timings and MMA played really risky. Not his best showing, although the first game certainly looked like he was unstoppable.

I dont think Stephano wants to go back to Korea.

I think he would for Code S.

I'm pretty sure he left cause he felt the ladder was the same as the one at home and he preferred comfort. Didn't he say something like that?

Puma has gotten a bad reputation as doing only 1-1-1, people forgot how good his TvP late game is. I saw the final of NASL S1, Puma's late game TvP was the most impressive and inspiring thing I had seen until then in SC2, it was the first thing that actually re-ignited my passion for SC2.

Don't underestimate Puma, his late game is deadly, his mind games are wicked, and his 1-1-1 goes without speaking, but really, don't underestimate his late game TvP.

Thanks

MC not super-confident against Puma for the finals. He's guessing 3-2. Respect.

Yeah, I also remember the NASL S1 final, where Puma won a game that he didn't deserved to, and some other final against MC where it was a 1/1/1 fest. Iirc most of Puma's matches against MC were just 1/1/1, so, I hope this time he's gonna play standard (but I want MC to win)

what game in NASL did puma not deserve to win? Puma played straight up that whole series. And IEM Cologne Puma won 2 games with the 1/1/1 against MC and a straight up game.

Agreed, but I really doubt they will give both seeds to korean players, even if they are eligible.

The thing is though, Puma is not just " A Korean player " He is an EG player. EG is a popular team and having their players in the GSL will increase GOM's sales. It's a win win situation, bring in a strong player with potential to go far AND he is popular/on a popular team.

Hell Puma is even liked by non EG-fans like me.
