That's the thing: As a guy who has attained a level of dominance in SC2 matched only by Mvp and Life, Innovation has very little individual titles to show for it.

A lot of Top 4, Finals but only 1 championship.


Innovation's "reign" if we can call it that was about 4 months. Mvp's was somewhere between 2-3 years and Life's was 7 months.


Mvp was most dominant in the summer and fall of 2011. While he continued to win because he was Mvp, he never regained that dominant form.

And while Life was t really an abuser he did benefit from the state WoL was in. Not to take anything away from him though cause he was sickenigly good. And the way Inno dominated is noteworthy he just curbstomped anyone infront of him in games that were never close


Well, I'd say the same goes for MVP/Innovation when they dominated.

Innos period was nothing like what WOL was like for zergs....

Really ? Life and Leenock were mostly the ones carrying the entertaining and solid performances paired with cheeky play. Yes sometimes they would fall back to Broodfestors, but it wasn´t the norm.

Leenock abused the shit out of it quite often. And they had that cushion for basically garanteed series wins. Yeah life was good enough without it so I consider Life amazing but even he needed it vs. Mvp

So did innovation with bio-mine against soulkey. He lost tho ;p (ok ok, that was evil)

Biomine actually needed skill


Never saw Hero vs Leenock? Pure skill.

The key aspect of Life's play was not Broodlord/infestor, it was early game aggression with beautiful ling micro and strong counterattacks. I'm not saying he never used it, but still.


Well, the queen patch did not impact either the infestor nor the Broodlord. The queen patch gave Zergs a much safer early game, which all Zergs arguably benefited from. Some used that to turtle into a hive tech deathball, whereas others used it as a way to augment their early game aggression.

Of course he benefited from it. Innovation benefited from the state of hellbats. What is not true is that either of these players were only good because of these things. They were both simply the best players at the time, and they're still both incredible. That I think we can all agree on

Soulkey was better.


Till he joined SKT. Sellout.

And still the marine parade was almost impossible to stop at the time for most zergs.

Anyways, it is not like Life had many other options to play with, when Mvp was meching every game.

Do these guys even defender's advantage? Surely these guys must have seen Snute's style of play in ZvZ and how effective it is.
