SIgh. Rather than credit Innovation for amazing play, let's just go drool on our keyboard and go EZTL as if we're witty.

The thing is, in the case of Mvp, he wasn't that dominant against other terrans (including Taeja and aLive) but he was versus zergs and to a lesser extent versus protoss, hence the nerf. For Innovation he looks too good against all, so it's harder to say the race is OP.


That's not the case at all. He took people like Clide, Bomber, MKP, MMA, etc to town so very often during his best days. I'd say his rivalry was with Nestea, a zerg. But he was the favourite against every race. Only MMA had a good chance against him during MMA's very best period.

I don't really remember MVP vs. Nestea being anything notable. Nestea was a bit of a moron in the one series that sticks out in my mind. I forget what tournament that was but it was the finals and people were confused about it for days.

Innovation is probably the best player to ever play this game. Give him some credit, and by proxy, EGTL as well.

And more than 50% of those people just need to tell everybody that they indeed have Innovation on their FPL team. Damn fantasy sports.

What I find interesting about this is that the first FPL had 10k+ teams and by round 5 we've buckled down to fifth of that size.

That's more like it!

I hope that Innovation gets this current GSL. Something would feel off to me if he didn't win one soon!

Is anybody currently on Innovation's level? I think the closest would be Rain or Parting, but even they don't seem as dominant as innovation.

With Flash and Life out of the way, the only player I see having a prayer against him is Parting, and even then I'd favour Innovation. Just too good.

Edit: GSL that is.

Only regret I have is not picking Woonjin Stars or STX Soul after last round. Stuck it out with SK Telecom...

Innovation played awesome. I don't even play Protoss and I loved it. it.

sOs beat Innovation 2-1 in the Asian Indoor & Martial Arts Games Korean and is doing well in pro league/GSL, no reason he can't beat him again. Hopefully that's the GSL final.

Soulkey is the only player who has beaten him on TLPD, and apparently his style might mesh well vs Innovation's? SoS is meant to be really good too, Roro maybe?

I don't know, GSL is so stacked I don't think it beyond the realms of possibility that anybody could beat him, but it'd be a bit sad as the 'best' player might not bring home the bacon this season. It's so clear Innovation is playing the best SC2 in the world at present, I hope he gets his just reward (or somebody else rises to that level)

Nah.
Except that TvT against Taeja.

Bogus just straight up rolled over HerO,JD and Alive.
EZ-TL.

To be fair not many players can take on Innovation these days. EGTL only has 1 Code S level player anyway and he is injured.

When did HerO get injured?

HerO isn't Code S level. WCS AM doesn't count lol



he is actually, the fact that horrible players like shine, hydra and a couple of others in code s confirms that Hero is a code s level because he is more of a individual league type of player where his strength is match preparation and mindgames. Did Hero do well in any team leagues before? i mean even in 2012 he wasnt so hot in team leagues was he? He still wrecked individual leagues making ro4, ro8 and staying in code s all year, winning DH winter, NASL, 3rd place at wcs asia, top 8 at BWC .

Wasn't that the series where nestea had a 10k/5k bank vs a barely maxed MVP and still lost the final game?

If widow mines didn't exist Life could compete with Innovation for sure.

Funny, since Life has already figured widow mines out, right?
