A few people who know what they're talking about are generally right in what they say, even if a large mass of people who don't know what they're talking about disagree. Some people have said casters may be betting on Soulkey just to keep hype up. While that may be true, I actually see it as Innovation maybe not being as invincible as it's currently portrayed. Innovation himself said that there have been holes in his play, it's just that we "newbies" don't see them. I'm hoping Soulkey wins just because he's the underdog though. | ||

Q: You're known for your quiet personality. Will you celebrate in some way if you win? Both guys asked the same question, so there´s probably gonna be a huge party after the win, haha.  | ||

Having something to loose doesn't change the fact that they know less then "actual knowledgeable people". A bronze player will never know as much as these casters even if he spends ages figuring it out. | ||

Or maybe these guys just have more knowledge. You know, this being their job and all. | ||

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. So in short you think Soulkey is not as good as Bogus. You could say that instead of saying "well if the odds were 2.00 and 2.00 you would be fool not to bet on Bogus" The casters obviously think Soulkey is better. So the point stands: how can you know the predictions are inept if the games haven't even been played yet? You act as if Bogus being better is not a matter of opinion. | ||

When Soulkey and Flash went head to head, in the first group stage, Soulkey was destroyed 2-0. While Soulkey has gotten better over the one and a half month time span since, so has Innovation, and Innovation was already doing what Flash was doing, but better, stronger multi-tasking, better micro, pinpoint macro. I'm sure Innovation knows about the holes in his gameplay and will do everything in his power to patch them up, if he can play just slightly safer and deny Soulkey from doing critical damage in the early game, then I feel like Innovation will take it in the mid and late game. | ||
