Well, Innovation's TvP was never really something that (in my opinion, at least) would translate well into LOTV. From what I saw, his successes largely came off of the back of pull-the-boys all-ins, hellbat drops, widow mine drops, a proxy here and there, and holding off Protoss all-ins. He never really seemed to me to have the brilliant tactical mind - especially in TvP - that LOTV really rewards you for. Players like Maru, Bbyong, TY, Polt, Gumiho, Fantasy, just to name a few - while none of them had the powerful macro and build order execution that Innovation had, they are all amazing at getting every last bit of value out of every one of their units, positioning their forces just right, pulling their opponent to one location with one drop while simultaneously microing a small drop somewhere else, etc. That's just my take, but it doesn't surprise me that Innovation would struggle with Protoss in LOTV. | ||

He proxied siege tanks in the Grand Finals of Proleague this year! If that's not a real Terran, then nobody is! Ahh sweet 2013, where everybody sucked. 1:20-1:30 in the video TB says only pro players click on gas to see how much have been mined. Right now I'll consider it standard for any diamond player and up. At least in PvZ and PvT. I've never done it in PvP, but gas first is not really used. And you'd be able to see the delay in gateway if you scouted on time. There has been a gas first (one gas) DT build, but if you play safe vs DTs, it doesn't matter. | ||

I don't know about all potential barcodes. The thing is also that SKT transitioned to LotV really late. They had Proleague finals, a bunch of guys at Blizzcon and to top it off vacation on Hawaii. Probably still getting used to some things. | ||

Didn't Maru lose to a random protoss in the qualifier? And isn't INno known for his multitask? I don't see either how the things you said after listing terrans have to do with tactics :x. But yeah INno had a lot of success when he could abuse obvious things mechanically or when the meta is a bit stabilized, 39% winrate is still a worrying trend (lol) for someone of his caliber! | ||

Sure, Maru might have lost to a protoss in the qualifier, but that doesn't necessarily say anything about his win percentage in TvP. Just like I'm not judging Innovation's TvP based off of a single match, but the 39% win percentage somebody mentioned that was over 100 games. And what I'm trying to describe (poorly) isn't exactly multitasking, but the decisions made about how and where to use that multitasking. That's what I mean by 'tactics.' Just the ability to make brilliant on-the-fly decisions about where and when to push, what exact amount of units to split between a drop here, a drop there, and a main push at the front, etc. I guess the best way to put it is that it seems like LOTV is pretty chaotic, and whereas someone like Maru seems to thrive in chaos, Innovation seems to crumble. Inno likes to win games through game control. | ||

Inno likes to win games through game control. Uh? Ladder games mean nothing in the sense that all their only goal... is to help you win tournament matches. So we don't really care about Maru win percentage in ladder TvP, what is important is how he fares in actual tournaments/qualifiers and if I understand correctly, there are no Code S spot from HotS so you have to qualify no matter who you, thus it was not only a qualifier match, but a very important qualifier match. So basically all your TvP ladder games lead to your performance in this bo3 match and while it doesn't say much about your current skill in the matchup, it says a lot more than your ladder winrate, because INno could "struggle" on his main account yet pull out an important win in the matchup. For the tactics thingy, I did not follow HotS much but it seemed stale enough to basically have all terrans doing the same things "tactically". | ||

 Solar > DarkLife > DRG TY > hero Sorry < SymbolZvZ is obviously hard to call, so whatever i guess. TY has a huge fanboy bonus, but he played pretty well in LOTV so far so i think he can do it realistically. Zerg > Terran, especially if none of them is that great to begin with. | ||

The only relevant hero (i even did the capital "o") is CJ.herO. So yeah, i will use "herO" and if it doesn't work, whatever. | ||

You're right, it doesn't make sense. And they had it changed at some point so you could get CJ herO and Liquid HerO easier with TLPD. And then they changed it back for whatever reason. | ||
