How was he behind?

I don't think you understand asymmetrical balance.

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

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.

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).
