I don't know, JD has looked thoroughly unimpressive so far in HotS, but if he can beat Patience, he should be able to beat Hero. Have you been watching a different JD the last 6 months or so than the rest of us...? He's looked unimpressive for majority of games in 2014 at least, and early 2013 he looked fucking horrid vs protoss, and every zerg was losing vT for a while. So he's kind of right Again...have you people been watching a completely different JD than the rest of us? His vP has improved *drastically* so I'm not sure why you're even bringing that up. I will agree that his previous tournament he looked completely off, but the entire second half of 2013 was pretty much complete ownage from him, and he's back on form this tournament. I don't really understand how you can argue. I remember JD wiping out every single protoss and dropping only a single map during his run at wcs global finals s2 2013. He was facing all kinds of protoss. From the overhyped "solid" protoss like rain. Even to the hyped First. It was shocking to watch every single toss being outplayed. Then proceeded to lose against bomber.
My point still stands that JvP existed in early 2013.

So can somebody explain rationally why innovation lost so hard? Im too biased and fed up right now for a proper analysis.
Hero made better choices for the series, and Innovation chose poorly.
+ Show Spoiler +You could argue what choices exactly, while some seem to think it was just choosing the ability to plant pylons. I do not entirely agree with that proposition.

rather than random balance discussion which I don't understand because I am not a pro. Not much of balance discussion was raised before the Inno vs HerO series (mind you that was the first awful series of the day). That's funny, by the way. When the games play out well and are interesting, it's purely the player's merit and nobody mentions how the game is well suited for bringing us epic fun. While when games are bad, it's mainly (though not only, to be fair) balance whine.
Yeah, I agree. But it's easy to overlook the imbalances when the game keeps you on the edge

So hard to be a fan of INnoVation sometimes;;

Until hero decided to cheese innovation 2 times hell broke lose. Yeh I wasn't specifically targetting this thread it just seems to happen a lot. I mean I am trying to avoid reddit and I never go on twitch chat because of the balance whine and TL is usually a bit more reasonable.

reddit has less balance whining than TL in my experience, unless you actually go into the balance thread

You're most likely more affected by it then you think.
he has a blazer and is looking fine, wether the colours blend together well or fits his hairstyle no one should really care about. Remove the nerd culture and start appealing to people in suits and you get a bland soup of nothingness

game 3 was fucking cool man, action in both bases and a cool base trade.
Hero came out ahead but then it looked like innovation could bring it back and he was microing his heart out.
Hero battled and managed to push it back but it was still an epic game

Yeah, but it wasn't really the first half. He had a very succesful year overall. Actually it was even more impressive because of how he started it.

Why are people even arguing about this?
Innovation played worst in every game and lost 3-0, that's the way it's meant to be. At present terrans are feeling like they're playing coinflips against Protoss, except the coin has 8 sides and they need to call the right one or they die. Also sometimes they die anyway Frankly it's hard to blame them for feeling that way and this series didn't do much to dispel that since 2 games were flatout cheese.
Polt had no problem being in defensive positions in case of Oracles without skipping 2 barracks and building a turret blindly. Just bad bad bad StarCraft...gold level players blindly build defensive structures for no reason like that.
The *only* strat that Innovation prepared for in game 1 was Oracle...his opening was bad against most any other reasonable strat..
6 marines in your mineral line...that's all it takes to be safe against an oracle.
