Honestly though, won't be watching this. Innovation will crush some more face I'm sure though.


Honestly, do what ever you like.
But I think most people bet on the wrong horse.
Innovation rides momentum and got incredibly lucky in some of his recent games, especially vs Flash.

Soulkey however, might be the closest to a perfect player since savior.

AAAAAND REALLY? WOuld you have rather watched another ZvZ Final?


Please be joking. Please.

I wanted sOs to win. Hasn't been a Protoss in a final since that PvP final. I wouldn't have watched either to be honest.

Also you forget, Flash is a Terran. Innovation has looked almost human against Terran. But Innovation was pretty much rolled every Zerg he's played this season and now he has experienced basically every good Zerg all-in. Soulkey MIGHT win a game. MIGHT.
PartinG fanboy to the max, Rain/Squirtle/Dear/Scarlett/Bbyong are cool too. I don't always watch Dota2 but when I do I have no clue what's going on. GOGO POWER RANGERS

I think the series will be close. I think Soulkey might be one of the only zergs than can stop innovation's 3 base pushes, with his good micro. BUT I think Innovation will break him down eventually in the series. Bogus is stone cold.

Bogus is Iceman.

I think Innovation, Soulkey and Flash are the only three players for me that still warrant an almost magical belief in their abilities. sOs had disappointing play in high-profile matches, Parting never quite convinces me he is on the same level as the best of the best, Life and Roro have both faltered lately.
Well, now I tell you, I never seen good come o' goodness yet. Him as strikes first is my fancy; dead men don't bite; them's my views--amen, so be it.

Innovation has had an amazing run so far. He's simply beaten the best of the best: Life, Flash, Rain, SymboL, RorO. All of them manhandled, especially the Z. I don't think I've seen a GSL run this impressive in a long time, if ever.

Soulkey on the other hand had his best foes as sOs and PartinG, both which were extremely close series. Lost against Flash, beat Maru 2-1 twice and also Yoda and Flying 2-0. Those are nowhere near as strong as Innovation's foes, though.

Love me some Bogus and i hope that he wins, but Soulkey is no push over. People shouldn't be counting this as a one sided stomp just yet.

The AZUBU Zerg ventured into macro territory in the first game, but quickly switched to doing what he did best and managed to take more games off Innovation than anyone (including GSL champions) else this season.

Except for Rain who also took two games off Innovation. Rain beat Innovation 2-1 in the Ro32 group. Innovation actually lost the first Bo3 he played this season :p

But Innovation did get revenge by beating Rain 2-0 in the deciding match of the group.

Come on people! Innovation is not unbeatable. He went 2-2 with Rain, Soulkey beat him, he's 3-5 vs Flash etc. He was lucky Flash went for a stupid mech build. It's stupid to proclaim him as bonjwa. He needs at least 5 GSLs and years of play at high level to say he is a bonjwa. I still don't understand why Life played macro games against him..
Game Over, Man! Game Over!

That's interesting. Has any past winner or finalist beaten both finalists of the previous season before?

Also, interesting that Innovation has won against all races - and not only that, but also against players who are in the Top 5 of their race - en route to the finals. If he does win the finals, it would be one of the best tourney runs in GSL/WCS.

Innovation made the games look bad by being so much better than Symbol. Sad truth!

The tank place in the last game at the third expansion was absolute sickness. I'm looking forward to the finals, it's gonna be crazy!

You mean WCS-KRs? I think 5 is a bit too much. Also the number is not as relevant as result in a row. If he wins all WCS-KR (GSL, OSL, GSL) then I guess Bonjwahood is around the corner, especially if he will add WCS-WC trophy to the list.

Then again - maybe even that won't be enough.

And he isn't at the moment champion of anything. Jumping into Bonjwa wagon at this moment is weird.

That guarantees a trophy for either of the tormented teams STX or Woongjin, their first in nearly six years.


First title for a STX player in 6 years?What the hell?
