most foreigners have a bias against zerg players excluding DRG-Nestea-Life-Leenock. hell, even against KeSPA players besides Innovation Flash Jaedong (and maybe some Bisu bandwagoners).

I think they bring up some great point overall though, if Soulkey can put up a solid defence against Innovations constant mid game aggression he has a great chance of taking the series. This combine with the fact that Innovation commits heavily to the style he plays best, I believe Soulkey can exploit this with his play, either with early game aggression or with heavy defensive positioning, We will have to wait and see though, as I'm sure Innovation also has some cool new builds that he will work into the Bo7.

Innovation plays with extreme greed every TvZ so I guess metagame-wise soulkey is favored. I do however believe Innovation to be the overall better player.

I'm surpsied they all favour Soulkey but I do think all the casters interviewed are far more knowledgeable than most foreign casters.

This series really comes down to who gets lucky in the build selection, IMO. They both have the skill to execute whatever they choose, and whomever picks the better build for each map will be the victor. I don't see this being a series characterised by long, drawn out games where they both say "I'm better than you, let's do this" and clash repeatedly in macro battles.

Tastosis has been calling this for Innovation all season, so he can't win. 4-3 Soulkey.

This is a pretty cool little preview, especially from the GSL casters. I like this preview all the more as it seems to give Zerg hope of taking down innovation.

That guy did look kind of unbeatable up until now.

Pumped for the games. Can't wait!

I think this Finals is one of the most evenly matched GSL finals. Recently the only one player that seems to have been able to be on par with Innovation is Soulkey. and the games that they have played have all been really close and awesome. I think the 2 best players are in the Finals.
Should be super epic.

MajOr's prediction will come true brutal 4-0 I guess. (T)

INnoVation is the epitome of the Best SC2 Player in the World.

Would be more interesting if GOM made a video of these interviews rather than just a typed-out interview. Video interviews would definitely give players a more lively interaction with fans. But still good interviews nonetheless.

Soulkey, don't go pure roach, for the sake of our entertainment. Please.

Bleh, if he can achieve the feat of making a ZvT finals more boring than a ZvZ after the shitload of matches we got with this match-up... I'll be hating another zerg.
