While most players scout to see what their opponent is doing and what their position is, he would often know their opponent by forcing them into certain builds and positions. | ||

That's not something you can simply wish without crossing into absurdity even for someone like Innovation. He'd have to stay the undisputed best player who wins everything and stays a skill tier above 95% of Code S competition for the next 4 years. | ||

It was the style he was most known for but he had quite a few very timing-ish plays too. And his harrass-oriented games were often godly as well (that game with the drops vs Best, jesus...) Thanks for the interview. Such a sick player. That old picture of him + the hard work thing actually made me think of Rock Lee (Naruto)  | ||

Game is still awesome right now but I think it needs newer maps to keep it fresh! | ||

I think the one thing he's really upped in his game is his strategy. The thing I love about him is he has this uncanny ability to know that the unit composition he has is enough to just straight up kill you. When he started doing these crazy pushes in WoL where he would just *keep going* when a normal player would have turned around, and ended up just winning the game, I knew he was gonna be pretty special in SC2. I also think this is the difference between him and Flash. Flash will tend to do death by 1000 paper cuts. He'll out macro you and keep taking little leads until he's so far ahead that you can't catch up to him. Innovation will play until he sees a very specific window where he can just simply end the game. | ||
