Innovation would probably win most macro games, but I doubt symbol is going to play all macro games. He can easily all in a few wins off innovation who will probably play pretty greedy. If innovation is smart he will play safer then normal getting vision everywhere to watch the nydus and get a tank or two instead of just relying on widow mines. Symbol will nydus or baneling bust at least one game.

>GSL for the majority of its lifetime has been an all Terran affair. While Nestea and MC represented their races well, it has always been a Terran dominated tournament with the most champions and finalists coming from that race.

Actually theres been 8 Zerg GSL wins, 7 Terran GSL wins and 3 Protoss GSL wins.

Zerg has won more GSL than terran has.

I think the number of finalists still goes to T though, and Protoss still sucks lol

Even though I like Symbol a lot, I really hope INnoVation wins this just because of how amazing INnoVation vs. Soulkey finals would be.

Should definitely mention that symbol beat innovation in their previous encounter 3:2.

Really looking forward to this.

I know Innovation is a beast, but I want Symbol to win so badly (even though that'll totally bork the finals). Also, Zerg would then be 1-2 and 5-6.

If we're looking at recent results I'd say Innovation 4-0 or 4-1. Symbol is great and underrated but Innovation is freaking unstoppable right now. As long as he scouts well and prepares for Symbol I don't see Mr. Zergie standing a chance.

Maybe I just want an epic TvZ finals. Meh. I hope Inno takes it so I can be happy. xD

Lol at all the people thinking Innovation will face his buisness at usual. If symbol isn't stupid/overconfident, he will prepare a different all-in for each map (if you look in the GSL matches I think you can find 7 differents that worked well, ragnarok added 2 more yersterday), maybe 1 or 2 macro build in the middle (with weird timings, like soulkey) to not be too predictable. I honnestly don't know why Innvation don't get more cheesed, but symbol will maybe show us he's a god at defending all-ins

I really really hope Innovation wins. I can't imagine another damn ZvZ finals.

Still, I think Innovation does have this one pretty easily. The last time I've seen someone so dominant in TvZ was MMA, but even he was susceptible to early cheeses. With the widow mines and speed boost, it's going to be very hard to see Innovation lose this, unless he gets sick on match day or something (god forbid).

Plus, seeing this guy kill Zergs is so cathartic after Wings of Liberty.

I'm cheering for Symbol incredibly hard, but I don't think I see Innovation losing this.

4-2 Innovation.

Inovation 2-0
No that is not an error. halfway through the 3rd game, Symbols brain will explode, but the reffs, wont call it a game to inovation, just disqualify symbol.

If Symbol wins, god 4th zerg champ in a row.

Median outcome: INnoVation 4-3 Symbol

Estimated by Aligulac. Modify.

Aligulac gives roughly even chance. I don't believe it though.
