I think Puma and Gumiho should win, but you never know with Nada, he can always pull out something when he wants to. Puma vs. Rain, however, should be pretty onesided. Puma is just on fire lately and Rain has not hah.
I still am in disbelief, how acopalypse managed to beat gumiho 3-0... anyways, my heart wants gumiho and nada to advance out of the four people listed in the op. sadly that is not possible.
I had a few people do this to me on ladder, it's pretty easy to beat if you can leave few siege tanks there and get a medivac to your enemies base and start raping the scvs =X. I wonder why puma didn't use the star port to make medivacs instead of making more banshees after seeing the turrets?
If the meching Terran (or in this case GuMiHo) gets the middle on Antiga the game is so hard - I might even say impossible - to win. Whenever I face a mech Terran and let him get the middle I want to bite my table, because its so insanely frustrating that you can't do shit with your units.
I think the only way to get out of that are battlecruisers. ;; gogo NaDa
What the fuck every time I go to dinner with my family and miss the first series someone gets 3-0d. Gumiho vs apocalypse, yesterday missing life vs artist, and now puma vs rain?!
That 2nd game between Nada and Gumi was very very tense despite NaDa's huge losses and how behind he was early game. The fact he won as many battles as he did was amazing. very gg :D
