You can't downplay Puma's victory at NASL, he played straight up all games and came out on top. MC lost at Cologne more than Puma won it, he was so hungry for revenge you could see it in his play, he was rushed, sloppy and he tilted heavily. There is no doubt in my mind that Puma was the decisive factor that sent MC into his slump, but that shouldn't take away from how amazing Puma's victory was.

hey dont sell Puma short, 1st in both seasons of NASL and 1st in IEM Cologne. But yeah, he has posted some amazing results, pretty remarkable actually. I would love to see him get the seed.

I think it's more likely that Polt and Stephano get it to be honest.

I dont think Stephano wants to go back to Korea.


He will go back to Korea but not to play the GSL.

Really?

MC is much more of a nerdballer than Feast. In the grandfinals, cannon rushing, best control and execution, etc.

Whats all the hate on puma because he did 111 a couple times? I mean MC isnt a saint either when it comes to abusive/cheesy strategys. And this is part of the game its not like he cheated.

Yeah, I would vote for MC, but he already got the award earlier in some IEM, it'd be boring if he took it every time he attends, so I have to go with Feast.

I've been thinking about it, and especially after today, I think Puma deserves that seed more than Polt. He's won both seasons of NASL, an IEM and is in the finals of the WC, got second at Dreamhack and 3rd at Assembly. His performance is just as good as Polt, but he has a longer record of high performance, and he has beaten better players in these foreign tournaments (just beating MMA, beating DRG at Dreamhack, MC twice, etc). Furthermore, Puma is a guy who unfortunately has never participated in the GSL yet, whereas Polt has just fallen out. I think Puma should be ahead of Polt, because of these factors, and because I feel that he was passed over last season as well.

You might be thinking about IEM Cologne. NASL S1 finals were some of the most impressive games of TvP I had seen. Puma and MC both played amazingly.


Yes, but it was still the GOMTvT era, where all you needed to do to get seeded in next season's codeS was to go 1W-2L in the RO32, which lead to tons of crappy players (asd, Virus, Ensare was the trinity of disgrace in particular) to stay in codeS for ages just by cheesing P and Z players, which lead to the developement of various different builds ( (1/1/1, 2port banshee, bitbybit) very hard to stop if you aren't in a mirror.


Now that the 1/1/1 era is over he probably won't be able to lay hands on MC.

Actually, people are too offended by cheese in general. Cheesing is a legitimate way to win the game, it can give you an easy win, tilt your opponent of balance or at least keep him honest and keep him guessing.

If you lose to cheese it's your own damn fault, learn to scout or interpret what you scouted better, because this isn't going a way, its part of the game.

haha so true. Is there a player who all ins more than MC? And its not bad either. You need to have diverse play. MVP will do whatever he wants against you and has put up the most dominating streak of sc2 to date.

this is a joke, i watched them all and this is not true

-NASL season 1 puma beat MC with absolutely no 1/1/1, he beat him all games in macro fashion using marines/marauders/medicvacs and ghosts. His game style was marine heavy, Artosis always talks about this when hes talking about puma vs toss and how puma is really reliant on ghosts emp because hes so marine heavy.

-The next time Puma and MC meet was in final of IEM right after season 1 of nasl. Puma beat MC in rather dominating fashion. Only the very last game on Xel Naga caverns did puma do 1/1/1 to win the final game of the tournament, All the other games did not involve any 1/1/1.

They have meet twice, And in about 8 or 9 games they played puma has 1/1/1 against MC 1 single game. Yet people like you just come here saying all he can do is 1/1/1 and sucks. What a joke.

Ok man, whatever you say We'll find out tomorrow.

There are also a bunch of incorrect statements there: asd was never a longtime Code S player, and bitbybit had long fallen off by that time.

NASL finals were legit. Canceling zealot charge 3 games, great drops. Those were legit macro games.
I had a good night of sleep.

Virus/asd have both played damn good games. Virus vs Nestea and asd's first run in code a in particular...

MC already won Sick Nerd Baller in another tournament. He already has permanent sick nerd baller status.

Feast put on a great show and was the only foreigner to really challenge the koreans. He deserves some glory.
