I wonder if they are hyping Soulkey up for the effect if ever Innovation wins.

Yeah surprised the majority predicted a Soulkey win. Innovation has this, he even took the standard game played in Proleague the other day.


I dont think you can compare the Proleague match with the GSL Finals.

Guess there will be allot of mindgames involved.

In some ways I think the casters are betting on soulkey just to keep it exciting.

Q: How is your team reacting to you reaching the finals?
A: The head coach and coaching staff seem to like it, but the reaction is surprisingly stoic.

Are all his team mates jealous?

if the rumors of STX being in danger of disbanding because of financial trouble are ture, Innovation definitely the only one guaranteed to be eating steak no matter what happens.

or it could just be that they know he's so good that they've just come to expect it.

And here are the real chances of both players (according to https://www.pinnaclesports.com/League/E Sports/SC2 GSL/1/Lines.aspx ):

Fri 5/31 2001 Innovation 1.377
11:30 PM 2002 Soulkey 3.200

Surprisingly inept predictions from the casters who are supposed to be knowledgeable, or maybe as some people said they are just trying to hype things up.

I will be surprised if it is a close series to be honest. Innovation is very likely to destroy soulkey.

Here's a harsher example: If Roger Federer in his top form plays a player that is ranked number 210 in the world then predicting said player to win vs Federer is an inept prediction no matter the outcome as everything points towards a Federer victory.

Soulkey seems to have such great support from his team, while innovation got the short end. I feel quite sad for Innovation. Whats wrong with his team :s

Hope Innovation knows that he has A LOT of support from the viewers.

I don't know if you heard, dawg, but soulkey isn't the 210th ranked Starcraft 2 player.

and upsets in tennis are much more rare than in Starcraft anyway.

Actually betting sites are often the best place to see the real chances of an outcome as they try the hardest to figure those out, as, you know, if they get them wrong they will actually incur a huge loss due to your "actual knowledgeable people" coming and betting large sums of money on the winning player.

That's why I said "a harsher example"
In the Federer case the odds would be something like 1.01 for Federer and 25.00 for the other guy. Here as Soulkey is also pretty good it's only 1.37 vs 3.20. Still, if you had the opportunity to bet 10 dollars and would receive 20 dollars if your player won (2.00 vs 2.00 odds) you would be a fool not to bet on Bogus. Hence my surprise at the casters' choices.
