I'm sure Innovation gonna practice really hard for this final match, trying to remove his weaknesses and bring more perfect play. Considering how he's been playing up until now, it's gonna be quite hard to win him as zerg even you're the best zerg. Innovation's ZvT is just so strong.

I think I actually remember one game in which he forgot to remove one mule from the mineral line before the last incomplete trip. The guy must have felt really shitty watching that replay.

I agree.

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.

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.

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.

betting site odds are not set by the site themselves, they're based on what people are placing on the outcomes. that's why odds change

That is some seriously sloppy play right there.

Interesting that most of the Korean predictions are in favor of Soulkey. I tend to believe them more than random TL writers, who went with what the consensus on TL is at the moment.
We'll see if Soulkey indeed manages to outmatch Innovation.

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.

How can you possibly call it inept when the games haven't been played yet?


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.


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.


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.


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.

I think the GSL casters are forgetting that Flash plays a very similar style to Innovation, utilizing the constant push to wear down his opponents and with drops to distract them and put the out of position so his pushes can be even more lethal.
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.
