I mean, I knew Puzzle was good, but there is this "solidness" you don't really feel from a lot of other top Protosses.
He's very fast, has very good macro and micro, good builds and decision making. I'll try to watch more of his games in the future, he almost convinced me to play Protoss again :D

he was behind , if ret controlled his army half decently and would have thrown up those spines earlier theres no way that push would have worked and he was already at broodlord tech while puzzle was in no way equipped to deal with that

Wait Zenith, 'again'? Why did you abandon Aiur?

Every so often I go and watch old Puzzle VoDs, from when he was in Zenex, the only Protoss I've ever seen that plays that fast, it's nice to watch from his view as you don't get the sense he's really fast watching from the obs perspective

Puzzle is probably the most "solid" Protoss in the world.

He doesn't do anything particularly innovative or exciting, he just doesn't make mistakes.

You realise pros don't just attack at random times, right? Ret tried to tech too quickly, gambling on not getting attacked, and threw up the spines after he was attacked. The only reason Ret might have looked ahead to you is because he got called out on the gamble, and thus lost the game.

I find him pretty exciting to watch, he's got great multitasking lategame vs Z, I'm becoming a bit of a fan of him.

Puzzle reminds me of sea[shield], very safe and standard style, monster in team leagues but under performs in the individual leagues (Maybe my expectations are too high though as I expected him to at least make finals of NASL and to be hanging around code S).

Puzzle hangs around in Code S plenty. He just never stays there :/

Well, he did win Code A a year ago. Yeah, I know it's not much compared to Code S, but considering that no other Protoss besides MC has won the GSL Code S, it's still pretty impressive.

I'm wondering why Taeja waited so long to get some ghosts, his army is taking a beating from storms because of it.
