Well played Maru, doing what you gotta do to win is what SC2 is all about. If Innovation is so much better than Maru he wouldn't have lost 4-0, even if Maru was all inning him.

And more importantly (to me anyway), a major victor for ESF over Kespa. We'll see an ESF champion!

People keep saying that the game is not consistent unlike broodwar. But in BW we had less tournaments all over the place, now people win one or two tournaments and then another player figures out how to beat them and thats how the game goes. The game changes quicker due to having more tournaments where people can display their strats, or their general style. If someone dominates for years in all the tournaments he enters, he is gonna have to have every play style

This upset has made me very happy, even though I really like innovation (Gotta admit though, was rooting for Maru today).

Strategy beat pure mechanics today. I found Innovation's play very "lazy" and he definitily under-estimated maru and probably over-estimated himself.


I hope that after this loss and the one vs SK in the last GSL finals, We will have a SSJ 2 Innovation who actually reacts to the playstyle of his opponent.

Thats all he needs to really become the best player of SC2.

I guess no matter who will be #1, the author of the PR will be flamed hard.


Yep. There's no such thing as a power rank that everyone agrees on.

I mean last time probably nobody argued against Innovation being #1 considering he won Season 1 finals etc. But now there will be hot flame just because of #1 spot no matter what.

I mean I know people WILL argue but still, he basically carried his team to the Proleague finals, he's been consistently a top finisher in everything he enters, and he's the favorite in almost every match he plays.

Yea, he is scary. Then again being 4-0 by player who isn't even an ace on the last team in GSTL...

The fact that Maru 4-0ed Innovation pretty much proves that Maru is at least on the same level. You don't win 4-0 if your opponent is much much better than you are. You just dont. And it doesnt matter how you win either. Innovation isnt playing against sc2, he is playing against another person who understands inno's style and what it is weak against. Thats what makes this game great. Just because innovation can mechanically outperform 99% of players in the lategame doesnt change the fact that there is a counter to the way he plays and he has to account for it - especially when playing a best of 7 against a hungry opponent. All this bickering reminds me of typical zerg whine. "Why cant you just let me turtle into 3+ base teir 3 army? That is the ONLY fair way to play!"

Because its not.

Everyone loses, what other players is as consistently great as him? If Bomber wins this OSL and does well in the season finals you could make an argument for him, especially because of his showings in things like the RSL, but I can't think of anyone else.

Oh god, I forgot about power rank. Innovation will still be ranked #1, but only because it's a joke. Soulkey trashed him, yet they put Innovation #1 over Soulkey.

Whoever wins this tournament should be #1 power rank. And Innovation didn't win.
