Well shit happens, Taeja's bad wrists were not really expected. Like you're not going to say "Haha take that Taeja fanboys! He's not the best player in the world because his wrists hurt! I CALLED IT FROM THE START!" If Innovation's health starts to fail him, well that'll be tough luck, if it doesn't and Innovation starts losing games, then Innovation won't be as good as everyone thought. But he has to start losing for that to be considered though. :D And I think it's better to keep it "HotS-restricted" as far as stats are concerned. End of WoL wasn't exactly representative of who's at the top of SC2 :D | ||

This guy though is th real deal and is way more friendly ! He comes of more as a professsional enterntainer and host. Who also happens to know perfect english and korean. | ||

Apollo: I have a serious question from twitter and chat: How are your wrists? chobra: He says "my wrist has always been a little bit bad but right now, actually, I have more pain from my neck and so the nerve from my neck to my wrist is getting pressured, so it hurts a lot". So he can't put a lot of force on his wrists, and especially when you're playing against protoss he can't double-click that fast, and so he feels that there's a huge disadvantage during a battle. http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/1fx6nr/mvp_words_about_his_injuries_from_ogn_lounge_talk/ On June 08 2013 20:22 Tiaraju9 wrote: Wait a minute.

Or a flawless victory if you are a Mortal Kombat guy. | ||

Because of the soundproof headphones, Mvp sometimes isn't sure if he has double clicked or not. That sounds pretty bad. | ||

By the way it was very funny in that part of the interview, because INnoVation was dropping hellbats like a mad men, aLive fighting with SCVs, and because of that chobra couldn't concentrate on the translation. And Day9 saying "it's a barracks" :D | ||

U MAD. INNOVATION BEST RTS PLAYA OF ALL TIME. OF ALL TIME. Mvp doesn't stand a chance Do you realise that TLPD has not been updated? Look at the date of his last match. FOURTH OF MARCH. HotS hasn't been released yet. Since HotS started Innovation has won more matches against Zerg than the number stated in TLPD(probably most of WoL) Do your damned research before you start shitting on a player. I don't hate Mvp nor am I a Innovation fan but at this point, Innovation has been destroying top Korean players left and right whereas Mvp hasn't done so(he went to Europe so he can't be doing that sure but you are speaking as if he has been doing that. No he has not. Maybe he will tomorrow but that hasn't happened yet). Taeja has wrist problems and was arguably the best player in the world during Summer of 2012. Symbol has not dropped off I don't know where you're looking. Consecutive Ro4 appearances in GSL. Did not advance from arguably the hardest group in WCS Finals(HerO ForGG sOs Symbol). Life hasn't shown much recently but he reached the final in Korean Qualifier for Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games which was filled with top players from Kespa and ESF. Also won the HotS MLG. U just mad. Edit: According to aligulac, Innovation is 66-26 in games and 34-11 in matches since HotS with his weakest matchup being TvT at 64% of games won | ||
