Innovation is just unstoppable man.

The man's macro just NEVER fucking stops, and his control while macroing perfectly is equally amazing.

Just.... how the fuck do you beat that?!

I think you need to punish the 3rd CC timing of innovation. Dunno what else SK can try

man what do you need to do to beat innovation.

hard to tell. the way he got his fourth and fifth up beside all that pressure is really something else. But that's allways the deciding point of TvZ. if terran can establish those bases, he will be ok, because medivacs make you really cost efficiant over time then. But it's very hard to do so!

as a terran i find it wierd that soulkey could not get more out of the mutaharras.. He had so many... there were maybe more possibilities there i think.

widow mines are very dangerous. a double widow mine hit can loose you the game.
