Mutalisk remain important but focussing so much on upgrades seems poor to me, they don't scale that well from upgrades anway. I still expect the medivac to get a very tiny nerf in the future, just a slightly higher cooldown on the boost for example. | ||

He's currently looking like Flash during his prime in BW. how can you make that comparison? Two completely different games and styles. | ||

Soulkey will probably have to prepare some more trick builds to win the finals and not rely exclusively on straight up macro muta-banes. On another note, Blizzard really did a great job with the matchup, it's very cool to watch, it's dynamic, multitask and micro based, regardless of balance. I don't think many Terrans can do what Innovation is doing anyway (Flash for example does it too, but less well :D), but not many Zergs can defend like Soulkey either, so I don't really know where the matchup is right now balance-wise :/ Edit: Oh, and obviously, Innovation is a god. Forgot the obligatory mention. What a player :D | ||

With Proleague and regular WCS seasons on top of possible foreign events (MLG for KeSPA players, MLG + everything else for non-KeSPA players), there are a whole lot more games to play for the players, and much more material to study for their opponents. People say SC2 is much more volatile than BW, and the scene has certainly been, but I feel inclined to believe the sheer volume of games played for top players is a major factor, as well. | ||

Why? A PL game means absolutely nothing. I recall the match CJ vs KT, where Flash completely rolled effOrt and his entire team and people were claiming that this was going to be an easy win for Flash, well he lost 3-2. Innovation has an incredible TvZ, but I'm sure there's holes within his match up. WJS has pretty good TvZers for SK to practice with including Light who was a tvz specialist in bw. That being said, I still feel Innovation takes it. | ||

Innovation is good at using mauraders to soak up banelings and his splitting is pretty good which turns all those fights in his favor combined with good widow mine usage. Soulkey innovation game looked good both players evenly matched | ||
