It's pretty weird that people think somebody has a more entertaining personality if he watches tv shows or (pretends to) care deeply about random people on the internet. How is it wierd? Pop culture is a big part of most peoples lives today and your musical interest, literature interest and film interest kinda defines who you are and makes it easier to connect with other people. It gives you a personality.
lol. Innovation has a personality. Just not the type of personality you see on TV.
It's called being an introverted, boring loner. And that's a compliment.
not everyone's a stupid clown like MC.

all the pro's that have personality usually suck at the game so what do you expect lol

This is the kind of guy who will win a whole lot, because he doesn't really care about anything fame gives him, so he probably wouldn't spend too much time on it and just focus on the game and win more and more.. Kinda reminds me of Flash, who despite his more colourful interviews always concludes with "I'll just have to work hard to become the best".
I also simply love the fact that everything I felt was true about what happened during the finals or what he felt his strengths were, seemed to be exactly what he said. And the fact he doesn't care AT ALL what other people seem to think.. I kinda admire that in a way. Most people would try to do what you "should" do during interviews, he just doesn't care and tells you like it is.

It is funny people call him boring based on a interview. Because interviews show personality, wait they don't if the person chooses not to. The only think I see in the interview is a person that is doing the interview because he kind of must, but does not really care about fans.
also, this. he sounds like an impenetrable introvert.

Cool interview, guy's a robot :D
I like Innovation mostly for his play, so I can't say I'll cheer for him much in the future if his skill level drops, unlike say, Beesuit.
Also, such a contrast with Soulkey, who, at least for me, got a lot of brownie points after his interviews with Chobra and Daypollo. Is there any video of that? The Soulkey interviews, I mean?
Found 'em :D
Soulkey Interviews with Chobra, Day[9], and Apollo:
Day 2: http://www.twitch.tv/wcs_osl/b/414006806?t=105m42s&initial_time=6342
Day 3: http://www.twitch.tv/wcs_osl/b/414479387?t=291m51s&initial_time=17511
They are quite lengthy and a bit silly. Also, Day 2 interview also takes place during the Alicia v sOs game.

It was an incredibly boring interview, but that doesn't mean he is boring in general. Who knows what his mindset was when this interview occurred or if his personality is such that he hates to open up at all in these situations. In person he might be extremely funny and interesting who knows?
|
What a machine
Innovation fighting!
|
What a badass motherfucker. Don't give two shits 'bout nothing.
Humble as ever I suppose. STX only has a 20% chance to win, eh? Such pessimism!
|
Nice to see his dedication to the game, seems like whatever he'll do he'll turn his complete attention to it
I could see him as an artist or a musician or even a writer like that, completely immersed in what he does and as other said, quite introverted
alot more interesting than those who seem to fake introversion to be humble imo

And just when you thought there could not be a duller person than Flash, a new talent rises. Maybe it´s part of terran mechanics to be a total bore. How is flash boring outside his play? He's trashtalked in more than 1 interview lol, and if nothing else Innovation is interesting if not funny or entertaining

Can't stop laughing about this interview and Innovations not-giving-a-single-fuck attitude. 100% awesome and badass. I love this guy. <3

Wow, didn't expect so much hate and ignorance on TL towards what simply seems a strong introvert. The most intelligent and interesting people I know in real life (most of them physicists) would give interviews just like this. They don't care about "the mass" and seem distant from outside, but once you really get to know them it's a whole different world. They do what they enjoy and are excellent at it and often have "unpopular" hobbies etc. Then you shouldn't be that surprised that only few people can relate to him. 'I am secretly amazing and nobody knows it' is funny when you talk about in forums where people 'socialize'.
This is true actually, I guess that's why I relate to him. It's a mix of having a general disinterest in the world, therefore having tons of time to dedicate to the few things you love.

Right an interview doesnt mean much maybe he just wanted to get done with it so gave quick answers. I know I would do that sometimes if I didnt feel like doing it.
|
Bogus aka INnoVation should rename once again ==> Terminator. I know there is T8  Terminator ^^
Anyway for the moment INnoVation has just incredible Mechanics and Micro.. if he learn to stop Zerg Allins... he'll not be unbeatable, but he'll be damn strong ^^
|
Dear god those were some boring answers...
Thanks for the interview though I guess!

Innovation so amazing (*_*)

You should make sure you are reading things correctly before you label someone.
"I just do it to clear out my head, and for my health. I don't think about the game much when I'm not playing it."
See how different the actual translation is from what you wrote? Completely different meaning.

He doesn't necessarily have to be boring in person. But he's obviously not interested or too shy to say anything outstanding or funny in an interview. I guess it's a cultural thing too, after all many of those interviews sound exactly the same, they're mostly just politely and (yes) emotionlessly answering without risking anything, so to say. No speculation, no arrogance, no joking, no exagerrating. Of course there are a lot of other korean guys too (MC and so on). But still those that fall into that category don't have to be boring people as a result of it, maybe they're just not those kind of communicators.

Damn that's a focused dude. Guess that's what's required to dominate SC2.

Yeah, we shouldn't be so quick to jump to assumptions via one interview, especially an interview that we're reading. We can't even tell his tone or body language 
But it does seem like he didn't exactly "open up" during this interview - that's something to keep in mind. With Innovation, there may be more than meets the eye. (Shoot, I just made an indirect robot reference...)
Also: perhaps this is why Oprah gets the big bucks. She's an expert at drawing out a person during an interview? Lol

This reminds me how much I love Stephano, or DIMAGA, or MC, or MKP. They are maybe not as skilled as he is (that's definitely the case) but they are entertaining. It's not all about the skill. Even EG couldn't make INnoVation marketable.
I remember some people regretting that he was not invited at HomeStory Cup... It would have been embarrasingly hilarious, for sure. Just imagine him casting with Fuzer and MC.
