I'm probably overreacting here, but how the hell is Rain smug? His play and real life attitude both seem pretty damn honest to me. The smug ones are the Kespa fans. Regarding this 4-0, I love innovation, but really, this is supposed to be an RTS game, and while innovation has mastered the "RT" part, he doesn't have the "S" part down pat. Glad that strategy shown over raw mechanical strength. | ||

 INnoVation lost his soul when he clearly understimated Maru , the close to royal road at his prime. | ||

Maru played really well though, his builds well fairly well hidden and the execution he did made them stomp innovation so hard, the 1-1-1 in the first map for example only worked because he had quite a decent position after the banshee harass. If innovation takes just slightly less damage there he might have a tank early and stops it. | ||

TvT has quite a bit of options and I don't think there are truly safe builds there, there are many ways you can just die to a little bad luck, like thinking your opponent is going banshee while instead he is doing some elevator tactic. Maru played really well though, his builds well fairly well hidden and the execution he did made them stomp innovation so hard, the 1-1-1 in the first map for example only worked because he had quite a decent position after the banshee harass. If innovation takes just slightly less damage there he might have a tank early and stops it. a defensive 1-1-1 with tanks and turrets is prolly the safest bet vs anything, yet its offensive potential is non existent this beeing said, i think innovation did not handle a single "cheese" the right way neither did he scout early enough / correctly | ||

His tendency to die to every early attack he faces should prevent the title of "The Best" for being applied to him. At the very least it should make the top of SC 2 a much more crowded position. He's still the single last player I want on the other side of the map after 15 minutes though. I totally agree with you, except that you didn't mention one thing. I think it's ok to not have a "best player in the world". Sure, you might have someone who is the best at one matchup, and I think INnoVation's TvZ is pretty unmatched there, but I just don't think you have to name someone as the sole "best player". Although declaring someone as the top dog is fun and interesting because it's always debatable and intriguing discussions will ensue, but I just don't think there is a best right now because everyone has enough of a weakness to be considered not the best. And considering how plausible it is for someone to play a flawless game, so to speak, just without errors from start to finish, mechanically and in decision-making, it's totally possible for any of the top 15 or even top 25 players to play like the best player in the world. That's my opinion. | ||

I'm not sure you can call game 1, 2 or 4 cheese, in game 1 Maru's 1st banshee did zero damage, but the second one did a lot and allowed the marine + 1 then 2 tank push. Then in game 2 and 4, Maru and Innovation used the exact same build, production tab mirrored until one of them gg, so Innovation was cheesing too ? :p I posted that because I noticed the reality of this serie and its perception are 2 very different things, and even in the recap :o More than a cheese serie, it was a outmicro serie. | ||
