SPL is no better than GSTL except its on TV in korea. Infact the format is a bit easier since most of the rounds aren't winner league. | ||

TvT is no pushover against a prime Terran, Byun bopped Demuslim easy with funky strategies(not that he is on innovation lvl). | ||

It would've been cool to see him dominate completely, but he did not play this series well at all. Lost too much in game one, Overreaction in game two, Rattled in game three, macro game four. Innovation got socked in the face and lost his cool. Totally outplayed by Maru. | ||

It's actually explained quite well by the author of the preview for this match. There are so many more tournaments in SC2 than there were in BW that it is extremely difficult to have a reign like that. Bonjwas in BW won about as many tournaments as some of the guys with smaller reigns in SC2 but it looks different because the tourneys were stretched over years at a time. | ||

Tbh you just seem to hate Innovation. Yeah he's not the most charismatic but what does it even mean to say his game has no 'grace'? | ||

From what I have seen, all TvTs have been pretty much based on 1 base agression for the last few months, so whats the upset? If Maru wins 4-0, he is clearly currently better then innovation, regardless of tactic. Starcraft is about winning, thats ALL that matters. Not who can macro the most. GJ Maru! I knew this dude would be awsome first time I saw him gueststream on Byuns stream. I agree with the sentiment that ultimately results > everything, tvt hasn't just been 1 base aggression recently at all. | ||

I knew this dude would be awsome first time I saw him gueststream on Byuns stream. I think my favorite quote I've seen about "cheesing", is that you have the earn the right to play a macro game. If you can't hold off 1 base aggression while trying to early expand, then you can't do an early expand. Maru clearly knew how to beat Innovation, really cool to see him finally doing well. I don't really want a TvT finals, but it would be awesome to see Maru v Bomber finals, since both of those guys have struggled for so long, but both of them have been so good. | ||

Its not like I am trying to hide it. You aren't seeing some deep dark secret. I hate Innovation. Because he has none. His games have no grace because they are lacking style and innovation. He is brute force mechanics and no thought. | ||

Innovation is nowhere near the levels of the hype that people seem to associate to him. He didn't show any innovation (haha) or insight in his matches ever. Yeah he has good mechanics but how has he evolved the metagame? Sure he's "boring," but he's also currently at 77.77777% in TvZ and 80% in TvP. Those are both absurd numbers, especially given that he hasn't exactly had many "easy" opponents to pad his numbers. | ||

The man is cold, and he has insane mechanics. That doesn't prevent to show some respect (even if you hate him, no problem with that) and not to spit some random bullshit about him. That being said, I'm happy for Maru !  | ||
