WJstars wouldn't have put SK on whirlwind if they didn't think SK could beat Innovation.

well, he certainly can beat him. he just didnt... when it mattered the most. kinda sweet revenge for the brutal reverse sweep that inno suffered at the hands of sk.

in a bo99, i think that soulkey would win about 35% of the matches.

On the other hand, with whom can you practice Zerg vs Innovation?


SK practiced with Flash before the GSL finals. However, it seems like Flash doesn't have the same level of understanding in the TvZ and TvP matchups as Innovation, but mechanically is just as good.

In SC:BW there was an option to play one side by two players. That's how BoxeR practiced some matchup (TvT?) before his first OSL. Obviously this way his opponent had pretty much perfect Macro and Micro (two progamers playing together one side) and was always beating him but that would make practicing against INnoVation possible. I wonder if you can do that in SC2 (maybe custom map?)

There are custom maps where you can focus on only macro or micro so he can use those.

I think he implies BoxeR was playing 1v2.

he was asking if there was a custom map in SCII like in BW and I've played on it before so the answer was ya, there is lol.

Finally watched the vods. Damn, game 2 and 5 were amazing! I really thought Soulkey had it when he wiped > 20 SCVs of Innovation with his early sling/bane attack on the exp and the slings attack on the 3rd, guess not lol. He shouldn't have let Innovation stabilize. Once he manages to stop the aattacks and attack himself, it was downhill because he engaged on ramps and micro'd like there's no tommorrow. SK should've sandwiched his army on the ramp but he kept attacking a choke with widow mines. What did he think was going to happen if all his units are bunched up? Early on, a widow mine hit > 10 slings so I think that helped Innovation greatly.

Game 5 though, wow. I was speechless. At one point, I was confident that Trap got it when he ff'd the ramp but ZerO's surround stopped that and he managed to hold on. Then Trap made that other attack and took out the hatchery but ZerO held in there and kept posing a threat. Had he gotten ultralisks, I think he might've won that. Heck, I thought ZerO almost got it when Trap lost several colossi and his tempests etc... Still a bit disappointed that ZerO lost but I think he's someone that will rise up to rival SK because his game was still very impressive. Also, seems like Trap is a monster in vZ just like Innovation is in vZ lol.

Great finals in all, good fun. Loved the back and forth action especially those two games (and one more I can't remember lol). Can't wait for next season! :D

Aww well done STX Soul, could quite potentially have just won the SPL and not be in next year due to disbanding? Or will this make them get a sponsor easier?

I know this might be too much to ask with the death of BW and Proleague getting absolutely zero attention but still: is there really no article about the finals/concluded 1 year long season yet?
