Yes I know he dodged Protoss but I also wonder if, flying back from China and then only having a couple prep days did a number on him he wasn’t able to overcome. Dark is in the same boat this weekend except: he will get a full week. Seems like a really unfair advantage against both Inno and Dark just in terms of schedule. (Maru was able to take care of his business before leaving for China). 🤔 This scheduling quirk happened last year too, would be nice if they could get all four rounds in on one side or the other to make the playing field more even. (On a side note: more Terran tears, anyone? 😂 I used to empathize with them. I don’t anymore.) | ||

That final was not an easy series for either of them.

Honestly, I hear probably twice as much whining about Terran whine than actual Terran whine. Maybe I can start the third tier meta where everyone can start whining about people whining about Terran whine? Inno seemed really committed to his two base play in TvP while we've seen some recent success with Terran threatening 2 base pushes then playing defensively if Protoss isn't punishable into bio lib viking late game. I'm not sold on the style (Rail vs Inno for example) but it's still new and worth exploring imo. | ||

Also.. sOs, you have some of the sickest micro, just do the boring 2 base Adept+Immo+Sentry push, it'll give you a good chance of winning, you don't have to outwit EVERY opponent : ((((((( | ||

I don't know, Kev.2) Trap has good PvT, he may get us a double upset(I wouldn't bet on Maru against his teammates). 3) Dark, herO and Cure can win against Maru, Dark because he's Dark, Cure because he's from JAGW and herO because he may find his long lost mojo in RO8. Although I don't think herO and Cure can win the group, Dark should be the victor unless he comes in drunk. I don't know why I think Dear has no chances to advance nor beat Maru. Sorry, Dear, it's just me guts  | ||

Also, Rogues bracket is developing for him to be an easy road to the finals. What better time to break his Ro8 curse than against his favorite punching bag. The other side is really hard to predict, TY can smash everyone there but he can also choke and lose to Trap... | ||

His aligulac rating is extremely close to Maru and TY. If Innovation has a mental block in the matchup then all terrans in the world have a mental block in the match up. | ||

I always thought his weakness was cheesy Protoss players, definitely, I remember this to be the case during proleague. Obv. he's an incredibly skilled player and has solid builds, but pulling scv's honestly hasn't worked since LotV. It seems that most Terrans have a mental block vs Protoss and for good reason, no one seems to have solved the meta yet, but I think we should look for guys who are still trying to come up with solutions, rather than from games like this. | ||

Unless Bunny defeat Hero easily or Dark being the 2nd place in his group. | ||

You are correct. Inno was never known for his killer TvP it was always "decent" at best and was always weak against cheesy and aggressive toss players such as herO, sOs | ||

I was expecting great things from soO and Innovation, but it looks like either the travelling got to them both, or maybe the lack of preparation time. Still, it was sad to see sOs going out the way he did. Not sure why he felt that he had to proxy each game vs Trap. Was really hoping to see him play just a normal standard/macro game in the deciding final game when it was tied 1-1. | ||
