Online streaming has allowed gamers from all around the world to invite thousands of strangers into their lives. This is sometimes a rather literal invitation, as we are allowed a glimpse of their homes and rooms. As controlled as these settings may be, what the streamers decide to reveal online also reveal crucial hints about who they really are.
Today, I break down the streaming room of one of StarCraft II’s greatest and most reticent progamers.
1. Lubricant: Whether it’s petroleum-based or synthetic, high-quality lubricant is vital to prevent malfunctions when operating at super-high APM’s.
2a~2f. Trophies: INnoVation retains his trophies for emergencies, where they can be salvaged for spare metal and plastic.
3. Photograph of David Kim & incense holder: In an attempt to better integrate with humans, INnoVation has emulated their strange custom known as “religion.”
4. Penguin doll: Penguins reside in the antarctic, where we can find the coldest climates on planet earth. INnoVation naturally feels kinship with penguins, as his own optimal operating temperature is -250°C, where superconductivity reduces the electrical resistance in his circuitry to zero.
5. BlizzCon™ 2016 goody bag: INnoVation has been trying to flip this on Ebay since December, but those pesky “I am not a robot” checks have been getting in the way.
6. Ceramic owls: On sale for just $19.99 during Crate & Barrel’s holiday sale, it would have been simply illogical to not pick these up.
7. Embroidered cushion: Scholars have yet to decipher these enigmatic glyphs.
8. Eldritch container: Contains soO’s soul, which is locked away forever until soO is kissed by princess Gyuri or he wins the GSL.
9. Calendar: INnoVation uses this to remind himself that pitiful organic life forms still believe in the delusion of linear time.
10. Rabbit in a cat(?) costume: This plushie reflects INnoVation’s internal conflict as a being who wants to love, but was designed to kill.
11. Electromagnetic core: Leftover part from a previous iteration.
12. Zebra rug: The binary barcode pattern on the Zebra’s coat reads “Zerg OP.”

Please subscribe to INnoVation's stream at Twitch.tv/innovation_s2, even if his subscriber icons are terrible. Thanks to stuchiu for help on the Zebra part.
... I like how clean his room is...
