Major ridiculously outplayed Puck for 20+ minutes, moved forward about 5 pixels too far, then got double Time Warped and discovered that Puck's 'T' key was in excellent condition. Downhill from there, capped by another massive Storm shower.

protoss happened
I went downstairs to get my rice off the stove with Major up ~70 supply and on an additional base. Did he srsly lose?
Like Yrr above said, he overbuild marines and didnt' have enough marauders and ate too many storms.
Look, fair enough, but you can understand the frustration looking at all the ridiculous damage Major did to Puck. Multiple drops that savaged his economy, 8-10 Widow Mines that racked up 5-10 kills apiece, both Probes and units, up 4 base to 3, and he is undone by one battle where Protoss got a little bit lucky? I mean, you gotta feel for both him and people watching.
Maybe, just maybe, versus the person making fuck loads of Archons and Templar he should have continued to make Ghosts throughout the mid and lategame. Nah, fuck that, lets make more Marines and Marauders and then lose and blame imbalance. It's way easier.

I agree, major probably deserved the win. Protoss is forgiving, but at least the winrates are 50/50 right?

Making more marauder against chargelots is not considered a smart move. Their dps against non-armored unit is terrible compared to marines.

Either 2-2 (Puck) v 1-1 (Major) or 2-2 v 2-1. Something like that. But the upgrades had very little to do with it, because there were literally only Templar followed by morphing Archons involved on the Protoss side when the big hit happened, and Storm ignores armor.
