Top 10 player at the end of BW era?

Probably the 3rd best T after Flash and Fantasy. So overall top10 I guess.

Baby, Reality, Leta

No way he was top10. He would probably be around top15-20 to most people.

He was probably not top 10 but definitely better than Reality and Leta at the time. Top 5 T's at the end were something like Flash Fantasy Baby Bogus and Light/Last.

I will never understand why great players in sc2 will go for unsave, greedy builds that are just unnecessary for them. If you want to beat a superior opponent, sometimes you need the extra economy a greedy start can give, but Innovation has shown time and time again that he can win against players that go for greedy openings when he opens save, especially in tvz...

So why go for a greedy opening against a player that has shown the last 2 games that he is willing to pull out every cheese in the book?

lol no, I believe that was more of an example of reacting to your opponents greed. An example of a build order win is proxy 2 gate vs 14 expand on the low ground.

He's playing kinda badly...


Symbol went full masters league with that 30 second supply block before his cheese. He's not playing good, and didn't even deserve to get to RO4 IMO.

Yes, didn't deserve RO4, same as Bomber, LosirA and RorO didn't deserve to get to the Ro8, or Flying to be in Code S at all. GSL system is flawed, you have to live with it.


you're right, we should just have a system where we poll fans to ask who are the best players and then seed them that way and then ask the fans again and reward wins based on the polls. only way to get a TRUE champion

What? You didn't use your brain for 5 seconds before writing that, did you? There are a lot better ways to organize the league and system can be a lot better.


Well, how?
It really tied the room together.

Well, he did go 3 command centers mate


It's not that you can win against a much, much better player than you in sc2. It's that you can punish anyone who plays too greedy.

Glad he could get that baneling bust in, would have been a big shame to see a 4 - 0 sweep. Though I don't see him winning next game.


Fact is, if Innovation was THAT confident in his macro games, he wouldn't do greedy builds.
I think the meaning of symbol first game (like roro's) was "look I'm not bad in macro game, if you're not greedy you can loose"


Terrans have to be greedy to some sort, to match Zergs. Otherwise you will need very aggressive and very good playstyle to pressure and expand behind it. If the Zerg defends anything from you while you are on 2 base and he holds his 3rd, you are done. Zerg is equally greedy, Terrans just match it.

how dare u forget SEA!


Sea wasn't in the top 5 Terrans towards the end, no way. It doesn't really matter though, Innovation is close to unbeatable in TvZ, having only dropped 3 maps now total since HotS has been released.

Can someone tell me why their is still so much GSL and Code S branding ? It's the freaking Ro4 and you would have no clue this is part of the WCS looking at this cast. I can't imagine Blizz is happy.

when you play greedy you get punished, playing greedy is a risk and he got punished for it.


Exactly, if a zerg can hatch first and lose to a cannon rush zvp why not a terran lose to a bane bust if he goes 3 cc early?

We have multiple examples when zerg won after getting cannon rushed. Also, you can't cannon rush on every map and it's really easy to counter.

Banebust randomly kills Terran.

wtf its not, bo wins happen as long as both players do builds without information of what opponents are doing


No. Thats a coinflip. A build order win can very well be a reaction to something you see or do you want to argue that you cannot choose a build order win when getting information? ...


depends on your definition of build order win. Anyhow, 3cc don't always die to baneling bust. The whole term "build order wins" these days implies random luck BO win that involves no skill or strategy.

A greedy opening gives you an edge if not allined. You can gain advantage in ~70% of the games, lose 20% instantly and probably defend 10%. Worth the risk.

I'd say It's a risk because he was up 3-0 and can afford to lose a game to a BO loss, if Symbol didn't go for that particular all in his greed could have paid off and he would have been on the way to an easy 4-0.

He just took a risk, it backfired.

As if a terran never has won vs bane bust.

Was Sea ever a top5 terran ? I can't remember Sea breaking a ro8 in osl/msl.

Didn't say it was one, only said you can have one without having made the decision beforehand. Here, BoguS got punished for being greedy.
