I would feel sad to not see Maru win all 3 GSL this year and then go against Serral in the Blizzcon final (who also sweep the circuit). This storyline development is just so hyped.

What if game 4 is a macro game that dethrones INnoVAtion vs TaeJa after all ?

C'mon, even if he wins this and blizzcon he will not be the greatest.

Agreed but for some reason lots of people don't want to accept Inno as the Goat.
I don't know if they find him too boring or his playstyle isn't flashy enough or what but for some reason those people try everything to disregard his achievements and put other less accomplished players above him.
It's no surprise that they use this opportunity of Maru having a hot streak to advertise him as the new Goat and hope the recency bias is strong enough that people fall for it.

Inno is not likable and fully embodies faceless korean, no personality at all. strictly mechanical play although i guess now he mixes in all ins. he is definitely in the disucssion for GOAT though, at least in HOTS

there were a few things though that stand out against him being GOAT. for sure at least the second GOAT (although I think soo has that title on lock down).

he was abusing hellbats being broken initially to win TvT in HOTS, which was correctly pointed out by ppl who got ban warned back then, only for those people to be completely vindicated when inno's TvT went into the shitter immediately after the hellbat nerf. since then he has consistently been sniped by TvT specialists like alive and gumiho and the like.

also his loss to soulkey in the GSL finals also exposed him. he was up 3-0 and got reverse swept and in the final game tilted and sent a shit ton of medivacs to do a drop when there were mutas flying all around. the mutas ate the medivacs for lunch

i think there is a strong case for life as GOAT in HOTS

See this is what I mean. People try everything to diminish his achievements because they don't like him.
Can I remind you that Mvp had the majority of his success during GomTvT and Life had his initial string of success on the back of BL/Infestor?
But that never gets brought up because people don't have a problem with them being the GOAT - only Inno gets treated differently.

well mvp dominated in gom tvt with mechanics, and then when his wrists were broken he continued to win through sheer genius. heck he even took some games off inno iirc.

life won via gglord winfestor, but after the nerf, unlike the other patch zergs who fell off (cough cough foreigner zergs who were able to "beat" korean terrans before). zergs who abused that disgusting comp like roro/sniper faded into irrelevance afterward. life kept dominating afterward.

but yeah i get what you're saying. inno just isn't a very likable personality. however i don't see him having that same kind of brilliance and resilience mvp had after his wrists got ruined. in fact, his tvt going to shit after hellbat nerf is like the anti mvp story. no resilience there. that's why mvp is beloved and inno is not. maru on the other hand, very adorable character and great story. started in first gsl as a kid and was awful, now is a god.

Life is the only Zerg I really like during SH era. He’s the only Zerg that refuse to abuse that build unless he was really behind in a game, which he will pull out SH to catch up.
Kinda like Maru refusing to build vikings vs colossus or ghosts v HT.
With healthy dose of cheese & aggressions mixed in, what is there not to like?
If only life didn’t killed his own career...
