Mvp won three GSLs and an MLG from January-August in 2011, Innovation currently has nothing to his name except looking really amazing in one matchup. It's not the same, not even a little. This is true. I think Innovation is currently playing the best SC2 we've seen, only comparable to Life(who I still think could take him on, just played really bad in their series.) I also love his personality. But I don't think he's dominating as he hasn't been utterly destroying in TvT and TvP, although that might be because of the higher competition he faces. I just don't get the feeling I get from MVP back in the day, where literally no matter what I'm like "MVP can do it, he's the best". I don't get the feeling | ||

Well, back then, there wasn't KeSPA pros... And no, this doesn't invalidate the achievements of early BW pros like BoxeR, because there wasn't a RTS comparable to BW, and no pro e-sports scene in Korea even. | ||

Bogus inspires people to do impossible things. | ||

Don't compare this "n00b effort nydus" to the "symbol nydus". Symbol elevated nydus usage to never reached before levels, Innovation have to get ready. | ||

Agreed. Life comes close, but MVP is still what I would describe as the most skilled in the most ways player so far. | ||

If players like INnoVation, Flash, Rain, Soulkey etc etc etc were playing SC2 back then, it would have been an entirely different scenario. true, but mvp was dominant in all matchups whereas innovation only has this aura of inviciblity in his best matchup, tvz. remember how unbeatable mvp (in his prime) was in tvt? how dominant he was in tvz? and how he was able to win a gsl against almost only protoss opponents, very strong ones nonetheless, at a time where his wrists were already exploding and protoss had the upper hand in the pvt metagame? mvp has the ability to conjure victories out of nothing. so far, innovation has only shown this skill in tvz alone. | ||
