Innovation has been crushing every match up that isn't TvT lately as far as I've seen. It really only feels like TvT is where he is losing matches. I can't remember the last time I saw him lose to a Zerg in an offline event. | ||

The only tournament this year that ByuN has done better than TY is SSl challenge right? On August 01 2017 01:36 Vindicare605 wrote: I can't remember the last time I saw him lose to a Zerg in an offline event. Didn't he lose in SSL to Dark last week | ||

He's won twice as many legitimate premiere tournaments as any Korean since Blizzcon. (The WESG qualifiers were a blood bath, but the main event was not stacked.) | ||

Maybe there's just so much hype around him that I exspect him to steamroll every tournament so I'm always surpised that he doesn't.  | ||

I mentioned it in his fanclub, but the man has ridiculous win% this year, it's even comparable to Flash's 2010 in bw. Ofc i don't expect him to win (almost) everything like Flash did, but he is far, far away from that and should be at least a bit closer. A ro8 in IEM for example is simply disappointing no matter how you look at it. But hey there are still GSL, SSL and GSL vs the world, time to get a win and high finishes  | ||

It's understandable, but don't forget: StarCraft is a hard, demanding game. Even the cream of the crop, in either game, will very very rarely have more than a 70% career winrate average. And even then I'd argue that in SC2 it's inflated for many players by their participation in international online cups. | ||

The two reasons TY is so underrated by the most people are that he´s not playing a lot of tournaments and he´s looking like a genius when he wins but unbelievably awful when he lose. | ||

The objective reason is that TY has barely played anything in the past few months and so there's practically nothing to judge his 'Power' by. | ||

Would be interesting to see foreigner 6-10. It's quite hard to determine I think. Would iAsonu make it after his sick IEM performance? | ||

Dude, im not an Inno fan, but its quite clear people try to screw over Innovation in every GSL Ro16 group selection. Maybe theres a reason why ... | ||

This tournament will make things clearer for sure. TY, ByuN and Innovation are my favourite players, but I'm tipping either TY or Inno to win this | ||

His form could be unpredictable but at its height it is still not enough to close the skill gap with top Koreans. He will fall short even at his absolute peak. I do not want to downplay his achievement but I think Neeb's Kespa cup win is like Marinelord all-killing top Koreans in one night. It's going to be even more unlikely at higher tier tournaments and on a long run. | ||
