Why is Bitter referring to puCK as "he/him"? Didn't she come out as MtF months ago?


Puck took that back, I can't blame anyone for not knowing what puck identifies as because he/she keeps changing his/her mind and puck isn't a prominent enough player for everyone to pay close attention to it.


Can you link that please? I have yet to see any evidence of that, unless you mean her switching her name back to puCK which means nothing. Everyone in fanclub and at ROOT still refers to her as "her" as far as I can see.

Thanks!!

I wish Bitter would avoid the pronouns then, I guess he doesn't know :/


Come on, it's extremely annoying to have to avoid using he/she and him/her, and actually impossible to avoid using his/her, short of reformulating your whole sentences. It's not Bitter's fault Puck can't make up his mind.


It's pretty easy, just say 'they are' or 'they have' all the time and its contractions. No big deal


saying " they " doesn't work in a 1v1 starcraft match when attempting to refer to one person, it would sound extremely awkward.

I think respecting the player and their wishes/identity is the more important issue here. Inconvenience isn't exactly a great excuse.


The best compromise would probably be to say " Puck's X " for everything, puck's army, puck's reinforcements etc. I doubt the casters have any idea that they're doing anything wrong, if it makes puck uncomfortable then puck can inform them. It's not too difficult since they're playing on location in the same building.

Exactly that, its not about balance, but the easier mechanics that protoss provides. I remember watching puck stream and see him go 1a get all of his templars sniped and then complain. It seems like Protoss has it easy with people who have inferior mechanics, but seems to reward player with good game understanding. Usually we hear 'smart' referred to protoss players like Squirtle, Puzzle, Yonghwa, Rain, Parting.


So only Korean Protosses are smart protosses?



no, but i would say smartest. Most builds are designed in Korea. Also forgot Creator, i remember Artosis saying how he figured out perfect unit ratio for PvZ + his double forge play is showing of his intelligence.


Well yeah , I consider Creator the smartest protoss. God, every protoss used his +3 armor 2 colossus push for a little while.

One build wonder

Weird that Creator has fallen off in all seriousness, his defensive solidity was really impressive and I thought HoTS would have given him the tools to prosper

guess if demu can get that "taeja vision" and spots the observers so he can scan snipe them to avoid the drop plans been spoiled all the time he would be even better

I hope someone mentions to Demu to check for observers before loading medivacs. For someone that wants to outmicro his opponent, not giving this kind of information freely to his opponent is huge(esp since demu prefers to split against early engagement storms instead of using ghosts).

puCK probably didn't hear any of it, and I totally agree that I think the casters don't know, but I think they should be aware of these things for the sake of anyone watching who is genderqueer and might feel uncomfortable 'cause of it.

EDIT: Sorry, just wanted to point it out; won't derail the thread with this anymore, now that the match is over.
