When innovation makes no mistakes, it seems impossible for him to lose to Z I think it was the maps that gave Inno the edge in the series IMO. Newkirk has, basically, the shortest push distance past the early game, the third[fourth] for Zerg is easily pushable and easy to contain. Star Station is riddiculously open and spread-out, but SK decided to do an attack that didn't work out, so maybe I'm wrong. And Gwangali has really open and siegable third[fourth] for Zerg player, meaning that you are forced to deal with Terran at your doorstep more than harassing him and containing him in his base. | ||

SK should've pressured Innovation instead of letting him macro up to three bases at which point once he started his aggression, his eco was going well with no damage to it allowing him to constantly pressure and break down SK. | ||

When Zerg loses mutas to mines it's mines OP. When innovation was leading 3-0 in the first season finals, Zergs were having the same discussions. When Soulkey won the next 4 games to win 4-3, then all balance complaints stopped. Coincidence? Or just normal Zerg balance whine? When Zergs stop whining, that's when you know Zerg is OP. I share the same opinion as you, my friend. | ||

There was one defense he kinda botched by not rallying his baneling eggs so he probably lost 10-15 banelings for nothing but other than that, pretty tough loss. really?  | ||

It has to be the balance! | ||

I missed the other games but in this last ones, I didn't see him apply any pressure at all. He took a fourth, droned up then started making units but at that point, Innovation took a third, saturated it and went into his biomine aggression and kept on trading cost efficiently with splits and such. SK got mutas but he didn't harass with them, only stop one medivacs at his 4th and tried to use them against MMMM. Guessing vods would go up on twitch but I dunno since they are pretty slowly at putting them up. | ||

So at least one was secured the advancement T_T But two advanced, and they both ended up losing. I don't think this is an argument of T > Z, rather, Maru prepared exceptionally well, pulled off an upset. He's always been a player that's on the cusp of greatness, and tbh, it's not all that surprising. Innovation is better than Soulkey, it's pretty much established, despite the fact that he lost in the last WCS KR, like the Power Ranking that was made shortly after the WCS KR finals said, Innovation is simply a better player. | ||
