That sounds about in line with the usual complaints about the power rank.

Stats knocking him out of GSL was unexpected, but Inno's still pretty universally regarded as the best player in the world (in no small part because TY and Maru both choked at the same time). If he loses here though, after losing at GSL....people are going to be looking for a replacement. One high-profile fluke is understandable. Two in two weeks....isn't. Not to mention, Inno's time in the sun is coming to an end anyways. The writing's on the wall for Terran nerfs, most likely right after Katowice (Blizzard would have to be really crazy to put the nerfs live during Katowice) and his chances of getting a Blizzcon seed are dwindling by the day. Innovation can't afford to lose here. There's too much on the line. And unless he's a blind idiot (he isn't), then he's fully aware of what is at stake. Hoping for an epic Dark vs Inno finals myself. | ||

Nice post. I agree that Dark vs Inno finals would be really sick. I'm personally hoping for a dark horse like Ryung/Patience/aLive, or maybe even a foreigner to get to the finals. | ||

Nice post. I agree that Dark vs Inno finals would be really sick. I'm personally hoping for a dark horse like Ryung/Patience/aLive, or maybe even a foreigner to get to the finals. Thanks, I try. Personally, I would love it if Dark, or ByuN, or Zest, or somebody else that hasn't been in the spotlight for awhile to storm back in and take the trophy. But the smart money is on Inno, still. Though I have pretty high expectations for Dark too. He must have been very, very pissed at being knocked out of a GSL group he created himself. I'm betting he'll be out for blood at Katowice. | ||

It is somewhat auspicious at times that Innovations championships were often in periods of Terran dominance 2013 early-mid & Fall 2014, etc. Dark vs Inno Macro games would be pretty nice :s | ||

What are the potential nerfs, as it is? Widow mines (+shield) splash damage is reduced from +40 to +25. Link It is somewhat auspicious at times that Innovations championships were often in periods of Terran dominance 2013 early-mid & Fall 2014, etc. Yeah, Inno is basically the incarnation of the Terran race. Have you read Stuchiu's article about him? Here Dark vs Inno Macro games would be pretty nice :s Imo those are the two players that would give the most exciting finals. | ||

Have you read Stuchiu's article about him? Here Imo those are the two players that would give the most exciting finals. Thanks for the link. I do think widow mines should be nerfed, although in the past much of the meta-game evolution was driven by map selection. This obviously excludes in part the blink-stalker shitfest of 2014 Edit: I do find it a bit obnoxious that it seems often to be a perogative to refer to Innovation as a complete machine. He's more of a player who cracks in pressure or makes slight mistakes than he is purely robotic ingame. With that said he definitely loves to take one build and run with it. | ||
