Hmm, InCa/NesTea had comedic value though, at least for me as a fan of NesTea. :D

Also it was super predictable...

It's not a new build he came up with when other players have already won tournament matches with basically the same build a month ago, is it?


He never practiced it and only thought about it in his head. The build can technically not be new, but it was something he came up with. He did mention he heard of similar builds being used before.

Nothing else in SC2 will ever be as anti-climatic as InCa/Nestea after Game 1 showed the difference in understanding.

No TOP vs Mvp?

I mean game one was kinda hype with the massive drop with nukes and everything but the rest was just Mvp destroying TOP.

Congrats to Innovation, always good for Starcraft when he is doing well. May he continue to push those like Dark who said they had to rival but Byun to keep on performing and training hard. Also very happy to see Byul doing well again. Lots of hope for a wonderful year ahead.

Yeah those were sick games. Wish they could have met in the finals.

I feel like Innovation is the best player at abusing the power (if not OPness) of Terran, every time strong units like hellbat, wm, cyclone came out, he instantly grabbed a trophy, lol.

He just finds the best ways to play much faster than anyone else. 4M was a perfect example. He played that style flawlessly from hellbat nerf, while zergs needes 3-6 months to learn proper ling bane muta micro. Then Blizz nerfs pushes Terrans out of GSL (there were 2 in ro32 at the time).

For one I'm glad Innovation won, he is such a hard worker and mechanical based god. But I can't help feeling bad about nerfs that will come because of him. Such a player.

why nerf because of him? he outplayed everybody not because of race, you saw his stream? he got supply blocked because of just forgetting depots just 1 time for like 3 streams thats crazy, and nobody play mech on top level except him.

Yes, in HOTS when hellbat drops were OP, they got nerfed, and Inno's TvT stats tanked.

Damnit why Byun had to face off vs Dark so early. A Byun Inno finals would've been sickness

The "I am Innovation" bit was apparently made up by Kalearis according to his reddit comment on the matter.

Why didn't this post get tagged as a spoiler, considering its title gives away everything and it's the first post you see on the front page. I thought that was the point of reintroducing this feature?
