Here's how it will go:
Game 1: Ragnarok style Roachdrop catching Inno off guard 1:0 Game 2: Nydusbust 2:0 Game 3: Roachbaneallin 3:0 Game 4-6: Innovation wins in lategame: 3-3 Game 7: Hatch at Innos natural, because Symbol watched Meta with Artosis: Gangnamstudio burns down. TL livethread melts, chat implodes.

Man. Innovation is dominating so hard lately.
I hope the TL/Artosis curse doesn't bring him down.

Gogo INno !
Been more than a year without a T winning GSL ! Save us from another Z champ ! Save us from ZvZ !
If Symbol wins, I'll claim he's hurting esports.

Hm... Last year Symbol was considered to be one of THE best late game Zerg with a somewhat weaker early/midgame. He changed his style up by quite a bit, includes some cheese builds, but his late game is probably still insanely good - even though he does not rely on that alone any longer.. Of course late game Zerg vs Innovation is hard, but I don't think Symbol would lose every single one of the macro games. Symbol had some quite impressive late game ZvT's in the past.

I want symbol to lose so badly. From what he's shown us he's just a very lame and gimicky player that relies upon that weird part of zerg where you can randomly all in and take games against better players.
Don't think he can beat Innovation in a macro game though, and in a BO7 I don't think he can get away with cheesing all the time. I really hope I am right, if it's ZvZ finals again I might actually cry.
|
I want Innovation to win and I want the finals to be an incredible brawl between Soulkey and Innovation (don't care who wins).
Unfortunately for what I want, I think Symbol can take this series. It isn't the most likely thing, but it is definitely quite possible.

Honestly I feel this preview (along with everyone else) seriously underestimates Symbol. Symbol beat Innovation last code S by straight-up outplaying him, and he can do it again.

He will play straight up, he will play to the late game and he will just use his superior mechanics to edge out a win every time. He already did, and TL discovered it too. It's called predictability. Innovation does the same thing every game and that can be punished. Symbol read it last time, either catching Innovation off-guard with aggressive all-ins or playing extremely greedy like 3-hatch before pool knowing Innovation won't punish.
Symbol looks stronger than ever. Last GSL in his finalist appearance, he finished with a record of 17-14, barely over 50% and having scraped by in most of his series. This GSL so far, Symbol is 11-2.
That said, Innovation is also looking stronger than ever. In fact, he's looking like he could be the best in the world after he's taken down the best in the world one after another. That's why I still think Innovation will take it, maybe 4-2 or 4-3. But it's a mistake to write off Symbol's chances. It's happened before.

How... what? huh? Innovation is still alive?
|
not only alive, but dominating so hard that symbol, one of the best players in the world, is looking like a complete rookie, only games he wins is through cheesing - as expected by most.
so much for all those people saying "stop underestimating symbol/overestimating innovation"

Ooh I remember reading this, we're at the 6th game here, will you be correct?

So good to be correct. Still, I have to admit I underestimated Symbol. I thought he would lose 4 games straigth but he managed to score 2 wins. Great achievement, no wonder he is the best out of ESF players.
|
the game would have been 4-0 if symbol didnt all in... he managed to get lucky and get two games off then innovation build tanks. tried going for bane/roach and failed.. 4-2. Innovation won.
|
Did not expect Inno will lose to that 2nd all in . Well still wins the series anyways. GL Inno!
|
I believe Symbol deserves a bit more credit then a 1-4 loss. He's just so solid i don't ever see him getting crushed in long series. Though i think Innovation will win it's going to be alot harder for him then it has been so far.
4-2 / 4-3 Innovation.

Symbol 4-3 Innovation
When Symbol 4:3 Innovation becomes something more than just dreams and/or joke

4-2 to the Nephalem Zerg!
