We hope that pure mechanical power is not enough to make somebody a champion, and so we latch onto anything we can to discredit the Vanilla Vanquisher, the Plastic Punisher, the Insipid Imperator, and the Sultan of Somnolence that is INnoVation. Go non-INnoVation players! I'm completely happy with someone winning because their mechanics are simply that much better. Unless someone comes up with some completely unknown/unique all-in, I'm far more impressed by/interested in mechanical play because it's something I don't think I could ever emulate. But everyone does like different things. I'm hoping INnoVation at least wins this since he didn't win WCS KR Season 2. | ||

Go non-INnoVation players! Haha, fair enough. But for perspective, if a non-Korean managed to make the Ro4 of the OSL and get top 3 in WCG Korea (which technically is impossible, but bear with me), people will call that player "THE GREATEST FOREIGNER EVER!". For Innovation, that's a "slump". I guess for me, Innovation's TvZ is just cathartic, killing Zergs left and right and dealing sweet vengeance to all the dirty Zergs who abused infestor-BL back in WoL. Die Zergs die! | ||

Well, if you're talking about non-Koreans, taking an unassisted Korean flag to game 7 would qualify for a spot in the top 10. To your point though, we hold INoVation to a higher standard because he's "the best player in the world", and recently hes been looking vulnerable, so some people have started thinking maybe he doesn't really have what it takes to be a championship-caliber player for the long haul. I for one am happy about that because it just feels odd for the weakness of the uncontested best player at a strategy game to be that hes pretty average from a strategic standpoint. | ||

Go non-INnoVation players! I think Innovation is the best, what could have happend to SC2, to show that this game is more about gimmic strats or play. You need someone you can admire, cause he has more skill and not better strats or gimmic play, he simply says i win vs you, not cause i play this or that, i win cause i'm better. And just to mention, this guy has more than mechanical power, i mean he is so good at adapting to situations, scouting strats and counter them it is crazy, he has a lot what Flash had in BW, but for the simple fact that he isn't a Flash or MVP people don't like him. Well haters gonna hate. Gogo Innovation show anyone, that the best player in the world should have the most skill and not the fanciest strats or play. | ||
