So its official.
Hope Innovation can continue to be amazing :D and hope to see him at more events (in Germany :D )
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

Wow this is huge. Kinda explains his mini slump recently. Must have been quite stressful on him working out this team transfer and was reflected in his recent performance.

Seems Acer is lacking Protoss practice partners for him though.

Everyone knows Innovation's on Acer, STX asks them not to officially reveal it before September 1st. Acer respects their wishes to not make formal announcement, Slasher says fuck that and reports what A) everyone with a brain already knew and B) what both Acer and STX were waiting to say in a few days anyway? Both late and unnecessary.

Solid reporting, Slasher #1.

Once again, the agreement is all on Acer between them and STX. If STX asked them to not reveal it before September 1st then dropping blatant reveals on who the pickup is going to get the news leaked whether it's "official" or not.

The thing is Acer must be paying him a lot or offering really good incentives for him to switch. Maybe Acer is stepping their game up. That or they just jumped the line and bypass the usual KeSPA procedures before anyone else got a chance. There is obviously a lot behind the scenes that we don't know.

Still it's one of the most shocking signings in starcraft history.

To all those people saying Innovation loses all his practice partners when he leaves STX makes no sense, because Korean players usually always have other practice partners outside their own team, a lot of high lvl players practice against each other there.

Yea. Korean progamers are humans not robots (yes, Innovation). Innovation's STX team mates who he has lived with for a very long time and is good friends with aren't going to turn him down for practice, especially because of how good he is.

Whoa. In the midst of the WCS finals I didn't actually bother to read any of the teaser threads. I'm surprised, but like Fionn said, it makes sense.

I think EG at least is pretty competitive. They have a much deeper lineup with Jaedong, Oz, Revival and Alive and then suppy and JYP are also both pretty good. Acer may have the best player (debatable, but that is not my point) but EG has a much stronger overall lineup.

Probably, but EG and TL make it pretty arguable I think.


Nope, they are def. stronger imo

If you speak about the top 3 players yes, if you speak about the top 6 though...

Innovation ruined the announcement himself by not winning wcs. The original plan called for innovation to win WCS, him coming out of the booth, unzipping his stx jacket revealing an acer shirt and then mma, scarlett and cella throwing him in the air in victory.
