But I don't think Inno invented any of the builds he uses though. It's true that once he starts using a build literally every ladder Terran copies him but that's because Inno is basically just the gold standard of Terran builds, not the original inventor. Though it must be said that Inno can be a lot more unpredictable than people like to give him credit for. His planning is excellent and he does well in series with lots of prep time. It's in-game on-the-fly sort of stuff that he struggles with. | ||

For a lot of them there's no evidence that they weren't his builds. They were created in team houses after all, which makes it impossible to say if it was him who came up with a build, or if he perfected something a B-teamer came up with. | ||

Well by that logic can we really say anyone invents any build? It could just be that their no-name friend came up with the BO and they are merely the first executing it on TV. | ||

On top of my head: he made drilling claws rush vs Protoss, +1 armor mech timing vs Terran, hellion/banshee with 2 ravens vs Zerg, modern (LotV timing) hellbat banshee with both bio and mech followups, 2fact cyclone/hellion vs Zerg before 3.8 and after 3.8, mass cyclone vs Protoss | ||

But popularizing a build to the point where everyone copies it after you did it a few times because you made it look so strong is an achievement in itself. | ||
