I know but no one can compare innovation to boxer. As someone who contributed to the development of professional Starcraft in Korea, obviously, no one can compare to Innovation to BoxeR. As a professional Broodwar player, however, after beating Yellow in the Coca-Cola OSL and 1st KGPA tour, Boxer spent the rest of his career mining silver. In fact, the only player to ever collect as many OSL silvers as BoxeR was... Fantasy. So, yeah, the SKT Terran lineage. It's only a "great" legacy, if you squint at it cross-eyed. Obviously, there was no way you'd get that from what I originally posted. Sorry. | ||

Boxer isn't just a first place terran. He is also an innventor of a LOT of thing. Creative mind and killer practice partner :p | ||

On the bright side, order is restored in Korea as terrans finally retake their throne. Hard to believe it's been more than two years and ten seasons since Mvp, the last terran champion! Innovation finally avenges his loss to SK and soO, unbelievably, prolongs a run of wretched failure that has no parallel in any sport or esport. | ||

Haha nice one. Ominously for soO, the Bills went into a tailspin after losing 4 straight superbowls and never made it to another one. It's impossible that soO is not a broken man after losing in 5 straight finals in the past year. Maybe, like the Bills, that was his last chance. | ||

Game 3 For the following game on King Sejong Station, INnoVation decided enough was enough. He to a much more defensive style, I see that Team Liquid still refuses to have an editor checking the articles before publishing x( | ||

They reached the same number of GOM Code S level competitions without a winner as Protoss suffered between MC and Seed, 9 competitions without a win (though more time because of way fewer Code S competitions these days, I miss the days of a bunch of Code S every year  ).Another interesting thing is that the last time Terran won was right before the Protoss losing streak was broken by Seed. Only race to go through a period without an equivalent dry patch now is Zerg, they're current on their longest streak of 5 competitions since Soulkey won (previous streak was 4 without a win I think). Which is strange considering Zerg actually has a similar medals total to Protoss. Anyway, feel so bad for soO. The guy deserves to win Blizzcon. | ||

I knew he would be code S material for a long time coming but I wasn't so sure about code S champion. Glad to see him back on top. Innovation, more so than anyone else seems to play so much better with confidence. When this guy has his mind right he's probably the scariest player in code S. Never doubt Innovation! | ||
