(T)INnoVation 4-2 (P)sOs

As Mizenhauer said, Inno is the prohibitive favorite. There is quite simply, too much in his favor. History, playstyle, form, the list goes on but the conclusion is clear: Inno is the better player. stuchiu outlined the win conditions for sOs, and how it just isn't likely sOs can pull off a miracle 7 games in a row. I can see Protoss bullshit letting sOs take a game or two, but no more than that. Inno can just play defensive macro builds until he maxes and then he slaughters sOs.

As is his wont in long series, Inno will probably bring one brand-new, optimized build to the table and stick to it. He doesn't need to have a huge bag of tricks, he just needs to survive without getting dragged into some ugly shitshow.

On the other hand, sOs has plenty of options but very few viable ones:
Cheese? Inno is expecting it.
Mindgames? I've seen rocks more tilted.
Macro games? Against Inno?


That being said, there's no denying this is narratively a beautiful match. The epitome of clean macro play against the embodiment of dirty cheesy play. Ultraorthodox Terran against idiosyncratic Protoss.The fearsomely precise Machine against the insanely mercurial Trickster. Mechanics against mindgames. Prestige against wealth. The man who never smiles against the guy who always smiles. INnoVation vs sOs.

4-0 INnoVation.

NesTea vs Inca will look like a close series in comparison.

(T)Bogus 2-4 (P)sOs

The thirst for money is too strong. $O$ wins and goes to Blizzcon with futuristic builds of doom.

Gets it.

sOs has that exciting x-factor that Life, Taeja, and Mvp all had.

and loses every one?

Tbh I expect sOs to try something new at least once, like the mothership rush he tried against ByuN. Inno is no doubt fully prepared against proxy Oracles, DTs, pylon rushes, and the rest of the standard Protoss bullshit playbook. But then again, we saw how the MS rush turned out.

sOs's biggest problem is that this isn't a weekender. Both finalists have had plenty of prep time, and prep time heavily favors INnoVation.

sOs will proxy robos and oracles, take gold bases and mass zealots, pylon rush, probably do some cheese we've never seen before. Something will work. But will it work on 4/7 maps? Not likely

I don't think an Inno 4-0 is likely unless he plays macro games each time.

I don't think it will be Neeb-Snute levels of onesidedness
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Yep, this exactly. sOs will throw the whole reeking book of Protoss bullshit at Inno, and write a couple new pages on the fly. Something in there will probably stick once. Maybe twice. I just can't see it sticking four times.

It's the same old problem that plagues the ladder. You can get surprisingly far by only cheesing, by refusing to macro, by catching your opponent off guard or on tilt. But you can't win in the long run. Standard macro play is admired as the direct testament to the player's skill, and I am confident that the more skilled player wins GSL.

It seems the best hope of sOs is an Inno choke lol

He better be praying for a miracle, then. Inno hasn't lost a finals since 2013 (and he won six).

sOs can win GSL, the possibility certainly exists. But Inno is the heavy favorite, no doubt about that.

Betting against INnoVation in a best of 7 that he's had time to prepare for EleGiggle

Innovation wins the third GSL season of a year, he has this.
4-1 or 4-2.

The GOAT discussion will never stop though, not even this GSL win will be enough for some
