It looked like it would turnout to be not an interesting final, however Puma made a comeback. The terran player was able to take the next 2 games making the score 3-3. He took the first game by going for an unusual ghost opening and he was able to defeat Hero. In the second game he went for an early all- in by building 4 barracks. However, in the final game he suffered a defeat. The game was very close and Puma even had an advantage most of the game. However, he went up a ramp with his army and Hero managed to forcefield the ramp which was the doom of the terran player's army and his chances of becoming champion.
