I fight not for honor, not for ideology, not for cause nor faith, nor even to prove myself. I've done all this before but today, I set these things aside. I fight, because it is a natural state of being; a singular will driven by killer instinct. I've fought this road before and I will do so again long after you have been driven into dust and hounded for the Terran that you are. I fight because I enjoy it. And however much you may fear my motivations, they are without a doubt driven by the purest and most absolute will of all. | ||

Two of the games I am most excited for in the whole tournament and they'll be played at the same time. ARGH. BLARGH. Damnit. Dear Taeja is just going to be awesome because Taeja is so great at a proper PvT and Dear's reactions are neat. It' the game I'd pick him to lose of any. Nani though is nani. | ||

Polt at least gets the babes. Yamcha is almost as bad as Choazu. I mean Vegeta just, like, killed him first. Then he eventually steals Bulma...Yamcha gets totally beta-maled by Android 20, and then the child Vegeta and Bulma eventually had together went on to save the future. I mean Yamcha should've just died and stayed dead to avoid the shame of his character in DBZ. There's even this sad scene: Meanwhile, Vegeta was getting jacked as shit in there. Just owned. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/tU7RJC0.png) Our last two player interviews need hardly any introduction. As possibly the two best and most consistent players this year, Soulkey and INnoVation continually impress viewers with their game sense and plays. Having met many times across the year already, these two will be looking to solidify their positions as the two best players by meeting in yet another finals - but this one will be at Blizzcon, the tournament to end all tournaments. #2 Seed - ![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/images/teams/icons/187.png){kind=icon} INnoVation![[image loading]](http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/images2/thumb/3/30/Writers_Icon.png/15px-Writers_Icon.png){kind=icon} ![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/images/forum/wiki_icon.png){kind=icon} Liquipedia | ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/jaLEO9K.png) Fan Club | ![[image loading]](http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/images2/4/49/WCS-logo-small.png){kind=logo} Hey, Rescawen. Thanks for taking the time to speak with us! First off, give us a small introduction about yourself, and how you became an INnoVation fan. Hello, my true identity is Wenlei ZhuGeLiang Dai. I am hopefully a upcoming Zerg from Finland. I was born here around 19 years ago but, both of my parents are from China. I am behind other Zergs from here such as Serral and Protosser. I am currently studying just a bit to earn a Bachelor degree in computer science in Helsinki University. Most of my time and energy goes into exercising and improving my health and practicing a few hours of SC2 a day! My biggest passion lies in SC2 and then in computer technology. Also like to cook and dance. Hence due to my love for SC2 and computers, I feel the way INnoVation plays is sort of "frameworky". Where he uses 1 build or a few basic builds and diversifies it based on dynamic information in the game. He would be a great programmer  Did you follow innovation's career in BW much? What did you think of him then? Sadly I did not follow BW and of course not INnoVation back in the BW days. I have heard so many great things about BW, but back then I was a computer rookie nerd and was interested in computer graphics, so I overlooked the strategical depth of BW. However I did come from Age of Empires 3 community. Let's humanise the robot for a moment - what's your favourite innovation nickname? One thing that stands out and is also a huge reason why I love INnoVation is his conviction during his play. Hence I like to be a fanboy to think of his as Convictus Innovativus Bogus! What do you think has been INnoVation's most memorable game in WCS this year? I think the most memorable game was his absolute dominance during the early days of him perfecting the parade push. A game against HyuN on Bel'Shir Vestige, where he showed absolute and complete dominance in such a perfect manner. His game against TaeJa in season 2 finals Newkirk Precinct TE game 3 of the series was probably the most entertaining game this year. INnoVation has possibly one of the easier matchups in the RO16, as he faces duckdeok. What you do think of the match? duckdeok is player with decent macro play and strong all in play. However Korean ladder has been dominated by Protoss for a while now, so I don't think Innovation could be taken off guard more than once. In the worst case scenario where he gets a map with an all in or plays really well in macro, Innovation should still be able to close it out 3-2. After duckdeok, he may have to face the Terran that 4-0'd him, Maru. What should INnoVation look out for, and how should he prepare? What do you think of INnoVation's chances in the tournament after his opening match? I guess Dear will be someone that is daunting and has a fearsome reputation as of late. They train with each other and respect each other, so that will be a close call. TvT is a very big question mark, but INnoVation is confident in it. Maru will be tricky assuming he beats MC. And if Bomber or MMA are in prime condition to meet INnoVation in the finals, it will be a very difficult match for him. Tell us one thing, or a story, about INnoVation that we might not know! Every game in a Code S level finals I have cheered for INnoVation, he has won. So let me tell you a story about INnoVation vs Soulkey in GSL finals. It was the same day as my high school graduation ceremony. I was watching it on iphone in the morning in the last day of school. I was quite happy and very confident. He has leading 1-0, then 2-0 and then 3-0. Sadly I had to put the phone away as we entered to the auditorium. I could not watch due to social tension and pressure. The principal was on the stage and everyone was quiet. I so desperately wanted to watch, but could not due to being so easily spotted out of crowd of silence and heads staring at the same direction. I started to feel a little weak and suddenly I looked up and had this mysteriously special feeling of the angel falling (not literally), soon after the ceremony ended and I walked out. Immediately I took out the phone, and opened up TL livethread. I clicked on results and for the first time ever there was a sub-spoiler inside the results spoiler. So I clicked it and fainted a bit. I felt so sad with a bit of guilt and disappointment. To be sure I even checked liquipedia. After a week summer vacation started and I watched INnoVation vs sOs finals all the games super excited, he won all the games. Btw TaeJa tvt too good :D and DH not code s level final :D If you could tell INnoVation one thing before his match at Blizzcon, what would it be? I really hope INnoVation takes a step back and starts using drops way more again. When it comes to Terran drop play INnoVation and MMA are the very best. However INnoVation is also really strong in his main battle control while MMA lacks in that. Even though Terran seems be to weakest in terms statistics at the moment, I hope INnoVation can stretch Terran once again into the race it is meant to be where you can drop and push at the same time with high tempo and show complete dominance! Any last words or shoutouts? Shoutout to Gumba for being such an awesome Innovation fan. Shoutout to the community for being so positive and hyped for Blizzcon this year!

Thanks for taking the time to speak with us! First off, give us a small introduction about yourself, and how you became a Soulkey fan. Hi, I'm me lol. Love bw, love sc2 (Soulkey especially  ) I normally hang out with ABL people (dont think badly of me  ) Im on TL like literally 10-12 hours a day, so shoot me a pm to chat I'm very nice and I love getting pm's<---that apostrophe is very important. I don't remember the exact point I became a Soulkey fan, I played zerg in BW so I always rooted for the Zerg players (Calm, Jaedong, Zero were my top favourites for a while) and Soulkey was Zero's teammate so naturally YEAH! Another Zerg to cheer for (also Zero and him were the starters of the queen play vs mech, but there was this one game vs Bogus (or INnoVation now) on Ground Zero, it was this epic epic game of mech vs zerg, Soulkey played absolutely amazing, amazing control, macro, multitasking harassment it was beautiful and showed how a mobile army could just dance around an immobile mech army. While I was already a Soulkey fan by default that game, I guess that game cemented my love for soulkey. Did you follow Soulkey's career in BW much? What did you think of him then? Tell us about a particularly memorable game of his. Er...i answer some of this in the bit above oops. I definitely love him I cheer for him every time I strongly believe one of the best, I can definitely see him winning the WCS Global Finals. Seeing as I did one memorable game from BW, ill say one about SC2 even though Soulkey lost this game to INnoVation (a while back it was on Whirlwind) that game Soulkey played perfectly through out the early and mid game, shutting down Bogus and every turn and constant ling-bane runbys, but a slight miscontrol where Bogus set a drop at his 4th while attacking at his 3rd, sSoulkey had sent a group of ling bane to deal with the drop, but when he saw the force approaching the 3rd he pulled everything back (maybe control group mistake or he just used the army button which grabbed everything) and from there things were just over, continued solid play won Bogus the game, but I wanted to point out that without that misstep Soulkey would be heading into the lategame with a solid advantage. I'm sure he's ironed out his play for the world finals  What about Soulkey's play has made him one of the best KeSPA zergs in SC2, while other strong KeSPA BW zergs aren't as good? Soulkey just has better mechanics, his understanding of early game and mid game ZvTis just amazing. Even towards the end of BW Soulkey was starting to shine through, even past his old mentor and teammate ZerO, it's definitely carrying through into SC2 so thats nice Better mechanics, better understanding and an quenched thirst from his rising BW days. What do you think has been Soulkey's most memorable game in WCS this year? I think everyone remembers Soulkeys last game vs INnoVation in the Season 1 finals, while INnoVation did make a blunder it shows Soulkey's ability to capitalise on mistakes. INnoVation fell behind, and Soulkey crushed him without giving an inch. As the #1 seed, Soulkey is up against the foreign hope of this tournament in the RO16, NaNiwa. Is this an easy match for Soulkey? How will it pan out? Hmm everything seems to be in Soulkey's favour for this match, losing 0-4 to dear isn't something you can take into account imo, after the first games it didn't feel like Soulkey, I'm 100% sure we'll be seeing the true Soulkey at the finals (O_O that's right calling him in the finals). If Soulkey gets deeper into the tournament, which players are you most concerned about for him? How do you think his chances of winning look like? The bracket looks really nice for Soulkey, INnoVation is all the way on the other side, and no other Terran will be a threat to Soulkey, they only look good cause they haven't been playing vs him Let's say Soulkey makes the finals. Which opponent would you like him most to face? hmmm Soulkey vs Mvp would be nice, with Soulkey of course winning hehehe time for a new king. Tell us one thing, or a story, about Soulkey that we might not know! Artosis thinks he looks like a monkey If you could tell Soulkey one thing before his match at Blizzcon, what would it be? hmm...don't press the army button. Any last words or shoutouts? okkayyy i have a ton, cause i dont some people might kill me...shout out to aerisky, divinO, shiroiusagi, motbob, vGl-cow, cam connor, quails, dravenor, blind-rawr, archas, brain, jasper, palmar, mysterymeat1, marttorn, azera, farvcola, aimhere, blazinghand, dna, firebolt45, stonajakey, thomasjservo, packrat386...um i starting to forget i think thats all...i deliberately left out two people their shoutout is in here + Show Spoiler + http://i.imgur.com/l0ZdSCZ.jpg | ||
