What impresses me is how long it took someone to win 3 GSL Titles after Nestea MVP and he who shall not be named. and lets be honest half of people thought it would be zest who would do it ...or we are counting Zest's GSL Global Champ win as a GSL Title ? Did we count the blizzcon cup as a GSL Title for he who shall not be named ? Life only won 2 GSL Code S titles.... He won a Blizzard Cup too, but that's not a Code S title any more than the GSL World Championship Mvp won, or the GSL Global Championship Zest won, or the GSL vs the World INnoVation won. Mvp, Nestea, and now INnoVation are the only ones who have won 3 GSL Code S titles. | ||

I just can't believe that people still haven't figured out the spoiler free thing. That went pretty much the way I thought it was going to all I can say is inno better take the whole thing now! | ||

edit: Inno really looks in his prime now. It's a shame the other GOAT contenders aren't around to challenge him (MVP, Life, Zest). If they were we could have some serious top level rivalry | ||

He deserves this win, but anyone who tries to tell himself that Inno was head and shoulders above sOs is delusional. You may not like how sOs plays, but that was an incredibly close series that turned on a few key moments. It took everything Inno had to survive this finals, Inno was the best player of this GSL because he is the one holding the trophy at the end. Any arguments over who is good and who is not based on your playstyle preferences is silly. sOs has had a great run making 2 finals and a semi out of the last 4 GSL's. He has not performed well outside of those tournaments since IEM Taipei 2016. He can erase a lot of those bad memories if he manages to perform well at ST2. It would be a lot of fun to see him at Blizzcon again. Oh yeah i agree with this. His results in code s speak louder than antifans (and i really don't like him/his gameplay) You don't produce these results while not being good. His "base skill" (whatever that means exactly) might be lower than Inno's for example, but he made it a close series and he could have won it for sure. Respect! I wouldn't even be surprised if sOs wins blizzcon (if he makes it and i actually kinda hope he does at this point) | ||

Inno still won 4-3. | ||

Well Innovation's TvP didn't look impressive in SSL tbh. sOs made him play this way though, i think it's unreasonable to say that Inno played way below his level and that's the only reason sOs made it close  | ||

I'm sad for sOs since I wanted to see him at BlizzCon. Not winning game 2 where he had the advantage, cost sOs the series. | ||

TvP is Inno's weakest matchup, but are you really gonna try to devalue sOs's achievement here? "This player's acheivements mean nothing because their opponent played worse than they could have" smh. You can say that about almost any win | ||

All in all, this was a pretty low level finals. | ||

All in all, this was a pretty low level finals. That's the whole point of sOs's MO, to make games ugly and dirty and confusing, because that's where he thrives. Stats would have played a straight-up macro game against Inno because that is where Stats is strongest, and that is what gives Stats the best chance of winning. If sOs tried to play like Stats, Inno would roflstomp him. Macro games are Inno's greatest strength. Which is why sOs did his best to avoid fighting Inno on a level playing field. I dislike sOs's playstyle and would much prefer Stats to have been in the final, but it is disingenuous to claim that Inno was playing horribly. Forcing Inno to play horribly is the whole point of sOs's style. | ||
