Innovation has the superior mechanics, but Soulkey has the best reactionary play that I've yet seen from a SC2 player, relentlessly scouts and has an uncanny ability to know exactly how many units to produce to pull off a minimal defence.

Innovation 3-0 because it's Bo5 Soulkey doesn't have enough games for a reverse sweep

INnoVatioN saved by the Bo5 format !

Seriously, that's a close call and I'd say 3 - 2, but wouldn't bet on any of them... Soulkey is slightly underrated imho, and didn't get enough credit for his win against INno last season I'd say (okay, INno crumbled, but still, he crumbled in the 7th game, Soulkey climbed back 3 games already being down 0 - 3, that's pretty insane !)

I'd say INnoVatioN ha sthe mechanics advantage, but Soulkey has the strategic/decision making advantage

Small differences that matter, but still small.

For the other match, well.. go Symbol 3 - 1 !

Soulkey and Innovation are both really, I believe, a notch above everyone else at the moment.

I hope Soulkey wins!

"And I think Symbol will be the one who fights for that ticket to the finals. Maru has the power of unpredictability and a considerably strengthened race behind him but he is still raw in terms of experience on the big stage"

Maybe im just reading too much into this 'considerably strengthened race', or just misinterpreting what he said, but that just seems like 'imba' speak that should not be so transparent in a team liquid article. Hope im just reading this wrong.
Go innovation!
I dunno symbol or maru both deserve to win hard to root for one over the other for me

I've stayed up for this and I have to admit I'm a bit pumped for Soulkey vs Innovation in the GSL code S. BTW that's what it is. It's not OSL, it's not fucking WCS Premier league, its GSL code S. Damn, I really hate these new leagues treading on GSL's success.
Playoffs? You're talking about playoffs?
