Yeah, as an Innovation fan, I would like to think that in terms of raw accomplishments, Innovation would still be greater even if Maru won this GSL. However, I feel like saying Innovation is greater than Maru based on that premise is kind of like saying Nada is greater than Flash, which is a legitimate opinion but definitely not the consensus. Edit: Consequently, I would take back the word "incontrovertible" but I would instead say that, if Maru wins this, he would be considered GOAT by most people. | ||

Which is funny because even MMA has the same number of premier tournament championships and more top 4 premier finishes than Mvp. If Maru wins 3 GSLs in a row, he's definitely ahead of Mvp, who had a much shorter peak | ||

If this truly is the highest skilled era of the game then shouldn't this player be appropriately caster hyped? Yeah especially artosis seems to dislike maru somewhat, i still remember maru winning gsl s1 but artosis hyping rogue a lot more in season 2 for whatever reason. Maybe because Maru is cheesy? | ||

Personally I'm intrigued how one-sided Maru is managing to make a lot of these recent GSL series look against some of the best this world has to offer. PS: Oh yeah, most people would likely write it off altogether, but Maru's earnings will be far and away above everyone else if he takes this GSL + Blizzcon. | ||

WESG and IEM Gamescom tier 2 weekenders. Not to mention that more of Inno's achievements came during the Kespa era. I don't see how it's insane, seems very close to me. Take Blizzcon away and Inno is undoubtely ahead. The only difference between the two is that Inno seems to have a lot of haters who try to belittle his achievements but try to be objective for a moment and you'll see that Maru still has a long way to go. | ||

If you only look at tournament wins maybe, but that is way too simplistic + we have to add proleague as well. | ||

They were both insane in Proleague so it won't really favor anyone. What else should be looked at? ro4/ro8 finishes? There Maru has probably a slight advantage but not enough to put him clearly above Inno | ||

I will give you that "insane" might have been a strong word though. | ||

If Maru wins this GSL and Blizzcon, then Innovation and Maru will be close for GOAT. But Maru needs to win both. Even if Maru loses this GSL and wins Blizzcon, I would still consider Innovation to be the GOAT. | ||

So that's 1 OSL, 1 SSL, and 2 GSLs so far for Maru. He did win Proleague in 2016 and he has always performed in Proleague. Having said that, Innovation has won more Proleague titles than Maru and Innovation has always performed in Proleague as well. If Maru wins this GSL and Blizzcon, then Innovation and Maru will be close for GOAT. But Maru needs to win both. Even if Maru loses this GSL and wins Blizzcon, I would still consider Innovation to be the GOAT. Dude, go and ride a pony. | ||
