It is pretty ridiculous that just last season soulkey managed to win 4 straight against innovation to win the finals but now that innovation got the better end of the deal every single zerg it seems it crying imba. Innovation just played fucking incredible and you are blind if you saw it as anything else. Hell, dreamhack just had a zvz finals and like a single terran in the top 8.

I'm a big fan of innovation but I still think SK is about on par or a bit weaker than Innovation seeing as how he beat him 4-3 in WCS KR. My point? I don't think Innovation is that much better than SK, just enough to make a difference whenever they play.


No, Innovation is that much better than SK. That finals was just a bizarre incident where Innovation became too excited at the prospect of winning he couldn't play properly. Innovation 3-0ed SK three times now. SK also lost series to Flash and Taeja and barely won against Maru in previous GSLs. His ZvT isn't not that scary.

Bbyong vs MKP is way more entertaining than Polt vs Taeja.

On surface, it seems that way. Cause Polt vs Taeja fits foreigner standards of skill.

do you know how hard it is to play perfectly with 4m style like innovation? you have to be doing so many things at one time plus keeping perfect micro...

if he plays perfectly, he deserves to win... the micro and multitasking required to play like he did is off the charts

are vods up yet?

I dunno, I'd put my money on Soulkey against any other terran in the world, besides Innovation ofc. Innovation is just really good with bio-mine, which makes macro TvZ with him nearly impossible. Still, if they were to play again, I highly doubt Innovation would 3-0 him again.

I always thought Maru was the squirtle to Creator's Bulbasuar and Life's Charmander. He was actually just magikarp who just hit level 20. 0_0

No, it was definitely lower skill level. Both MKP and Bbyong have awful TvT and the decision making displayed in the games were just so bad.

Bbyong going for counter banshee instead of building defence in game one (not to mention stacking the scvs)

MarineKing moving out with unsieged tanks JUST before his 2-2 finished

Both players losing a ton of units unnecessarily to mines and banshees in game 3.

Not saying they are worse players but they definitely have worse TvT.

They're probably worse players, too, it's fine, you can say that.

In my opinion the issue is that at the top level, three base macro terran is extremely hard for Z to deal with if left alone. soulkey reverse swept inno with two unscouted roach bane timings, defended a cheese, and won one macro game cuz of gifted medivacs.

When innovation makes no mistakes, it seems impossible for him to lose to Z


The best sc2 player wins --> complain. It's INNOVATION. What about him being just sick good? No? It has to be the balance!


it's just innovation winning tvz right? wcs kr/gstl/proleague TvZ does not favor terran massively?


If the name was "Flash" there would be zero complaining. They would be holding parades and telling everyone that Flash is god. Since the name is "Innovation" must be balance whine.

It's quite annoying really. Innovation is the best in the world right now. Deal with it Flasholytes.


I think there would be much less complaining if Innovation was dominating vZ with a bunch of different strategies and in a bunch of different ways. The problem arises when all he does is 4M because it is the best and most cost efficient thing to do. Sure he does it better than anyone but it's clear that is the only good strategy vZ right now, not because it is all Terrans can do to win but because it is so much easier to win doing just that (akin to BL + Infestor in WoL). That is why people cry imbalance. I wish people wouldn't make "Oh innovation is just so good." While true, if you watch the games objectively you can see not only did SK play well and loose (esp game 1), but Zerg has no answer for speedvacs+ MMMM.


It takes a whole lot of skill to win with 4M as clearly not every terran player is winning when they try it. The meta game always will find the most efficient way of playing a matchup so yeah its 4M but its entertaining to watch and if not this then it just ends up being some other strat over and over.

Innovation played those games to perfection as always and easily deserves to win. I dont see every pro terran stomping zergs using the same strat so its just the player is that good.

You want Terran to get nerfed?


terran will get nerfed sooner or later anyway. Bring it on now, so we have more time to adapt (and lose horribly haha xD).
on a more serious note: After today's results a 3T 1P Ro4 is very likely.

I like how innovation said in the third game he expected cheese so he went fast tank showing he learned some good lessons from the gsl finals.

Amazing
The best player in the world trounces a zerg, and the cries to nerf terran to ground come back
Some people will only be satisfied with end-of-wol terran it seems...

Come back when mid-tier foreign terrans are taking out top korean zergs, please
