[2019 GSL S2] Ro.16 Group D Match5 INnoVation vs Stats

[2019 GSL Season 2] Code S Ro.16 Group D
Group D: Dark, Patience, INnoVation, Stats

[@derekday3896]

INnoVation has always been the guy to just have "the build" that he'll use over and over, with slight variations in execution. His ability to adapt is what makes him terrifying. I loved seeing this build, made it look unbeatable!

[@Speeds_Gaming_Corner]

You say his ability to adapt but he doesn't adapt. He just nails good build every time and sees if it works. He's ironically the least innovative terran

[@draen13]

My boi inno made it!!! from all the protoss i love stats the most but inno is my fav terran and the last hope as well!! gogogo inno i 'm rooting again for u man

[@Bbdu75yg]

The human hope ! {GomPvP}

[@MegaOgrady]

As a terran, I don't like when terrans win because then I can't say toss op

[@NovahSC]

that doesn't stop anyone ;) at the beginning of WoL toss had an awful winrate but terrans still complained

[@MegaOgrady]

@@NovahSC because toss op

[@lawiez]

thank goodness innovation, if i have to watch pvp after pvp i'm going to pull my hair out

[@SpitefulAZ]

it's exciting when they proxy pylons next to each other and neither realize it.

[@carlamarieindico6080]

well done my ino boy .... !! last terran!!

[@lightweightjive]

Oh man when I got my 64.. that day changed my young life

[@Neo81aja]

Inno best terran

[@xRENEGADE156]

Lol Tasteless don't think I didn't catch that Trainspotting reference there "choose life"

[@SquirrilahFish]

That’s so cool to see the SCV pull work like that

[@1Higgs0Boson1]

what was the song at the beginning?

[@mauriciorossi8477]

When the reapers body flies off when it dies from a stalker shot you should get vision in the direction of the body as the reapers final mission succeeds.

[@Eraz0rZ]

names himself innovation, does the same 2 base push every game

[@archyology]

This is a guy who's won tournaments doing literally the same build every game.

[@Eraz0rZ]

@@archyology Thats my point, his name is shamefully ironic. Most bland boring timings out there.

[@GhostStyle007]

You dont even realize how much variations he used in his different 2 base builds. You might not have the tools yet to understand where the innovation is. I see your comment as being as stupid as if a lower player than you came to you and said "its boring he plays same race every game".his 2 bases timings, adaptations, macro/micro instant switches, are crazy, he fools his opponenet every game with an other build variation and thats why he deserves his name.

[@Matthew-uv6gl]

@@GhostStyle007 Innovation =/= variation. He is the least innovative Terran in KR, by far. Gumiho brings way, way more innovation. Want to fanboy over Inno, fine, but no need to go through such mental gymnastics to try and justify his handle. Just laugh it off as ironic and move on. You can still be a fanboy.

[@GhostStyle007]

@@Matthew-uv6gl you are totally wrong dude, and i give you the same answer as the main comment... going for a double base doesnt means that you dont innovate, gumiho has drastically more ways to play but it makes him not consistent, you failed to understand where innovation really innovate because you only focus on his starter sadly, btw that too easy to go for the "fanboy shortcut" i would prefer more fairplay arguments, especially because im a zerg players and i was rooting for dark all the way long but meh...

song at outro?

[@mattr791]

Innovations mechanics just so good second game was a little too fancy gg

This group was so fun to watch

[@라제페]

그래서 한국어 16강은 안올라와요?

[@Bananskuden]

Protoss still increased their share of players from Ro16 to Ro8. From 50% to 62.5%.

[@Sapreme]

True, but at least it feels down from 83% from the last 3 groups

[@sir0herrbatka]

This looks like wings of liberty all over again.

[@SpitefulAZ]

i love you tastosis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@franchica]

Inno. King of mechanics.

[@bigDean636]

God I'm glad we only had 1 PvP in the Ro8.

[@JerseySlayer]

Spoiler Stats is in a free fall

[@dogperson432]

He could be doing a lot worse than Ro16 at GSL. Slow your roll.

[@JerseySlayer]

James Pack "everything is relative" thanks for the wise words, Captain Obvious. He's not getting as far as we'd expect and his play doesn't seem focused. Relax.

[@JerseySlayer]

Ruben ASDF we'll see. Didn't expect to see him go out like this though, even risk takers like Maru go out playing focused. His play doesn't seem the same

[@diegogin935]

Gooo Innovation ! :) force terran ! :( Stats :( damn.

[@muratkaraaslan7432]

Yoon sun ah - astorias

[@DimaShinder]

은 안올라와요?

[@LieMintPyon]

if its same song different verse, why stats didnt try to switch into distruptor tho? i swear each games stats kept getting disabled with raven and didnt try different approach

[@Eraz0rZ]

because you can disable disruptors aswell?.... also its useless to use disruptors at all, its a lucksack unit

[@LieMintPyon]

@@Eraz0rZ good point but he can add more variety to his units and hopefully it throws inno bit off in decision making. i mean that last game if he could get good nova shots he may be able to hold on a bit. but the main thing im addressing is 5 games, same starters vs inno and stats didnt even try different approach. its like trying same thing over and over again hoping different results, game 2 kinda lucky inno messed his timing here and there

[@dogperson432]

Stats is a better player than you. He considered it, and decided it was a dumb strategy. Difference between you and him is, Stats knows what he's doing.

[@Eraz0rZ]

@@LieMintPyon Maybe he understands that the issue is clearing the marines first because they are in such large numbers. You cannot swipe all the marines with a disruptor neither can you do any true damage with storm when there are that many marauders. The only consistant AoE damage from protoss is the collosus. It doesnt require a recharge like disruptor do or energy regen like templar do they can constantly aoe swipe. He basically built the best composition he thought could work versus that timing. His biggest issue was dealing with the raven. Techpath wise the build innovation kept allinning with is just highly in favour of the terran. hence why he can just keep doing it. (its a lil like immortal sentry vs Z) cost for cost terran is always ahead wich forces protoss to quickly get a third and outupgrade. Wich in turn gives terran this allin timing where they have 40/50+ more supply then protoss. Also you have to identify wich exact timing he is hitting. And innovation used variations. some delayed with a drop, some super early. The super early 2 base allins worked the best versus stats because stats likes to make too many stalkers. It sets him up for a later push in wich he can 1 shot tanks and deny medivac harrass with the stalkers. But early pushes he just doesnt have the resources to be on par with terran production because stalkers are so nimble and expensive. If he made 8 stalkers tops at the start he can hold the earliest wave. but then the drop timing allin that comes just a few moments later cant be defended. Sniping the raven is top priority if you overmake stalkers. But just like stats innovation knew this aswell. You cannot blink into the terran if he has that many marauders. And position wise you can see innovation is maneauvering his raven to be able to bait stalkers into a grindmill. But also to hit collosi when they move forward.

[@Eraz0rZ]

And yes it annoys me terran can basically win with doing the same allin over and over again. Then press 2 buttons to deny collosi and he autowins. Takes mechanical skill out of the game and forces more on build order wins. Wich is basically coinflipping. Either he hits later or he hits earlier. Both have different counters and you basically have to guess due to no detection early on cuz of the ravens detection denying observers. The hardcounter to this build btw is 2 base techrush 3 collisi And storm/feedback for raven. The problem is as ive mentioned earlier if terran doesnt commit. he has a huge economic advantage in wich he can just build mass viking/ghost and still have a bigger MMM army then protoss with wich he can keep denying a third.

Its official, classic is gona win gsl this season. Lol

[@petercriscuola]

Stats so stupid in that last game.

[@robertr.hasspacher7731]

games this round were pretty boring except for winner's match

[@platinumlucifer694]

die toss die !

[@PhlegmMaster]

Well played by Inno. IMO Terran 2-base all-ins vs Protoss need a small nerf. What I would do is increase Interference Matrix's energy cost from 50 to 75. Incidentally, this would also fix TvT, which is very static right now. However Terran should also get a late-game buff versus Protoss. Then we might stop seeing 2-base all-ins almost every game in TvP.

[@BlitkriegsAndCoffee]

He went for a 3rd CC in every game. There isn't a single 2 base all-in in this series.

[@dogperson432]

5x as many Protoss as Terran in Ro8 - this guy thinks "man, Terran needs a nerf." Guess which race he plays.

[@draen13]

terran nerf lul have u seen the brackets already?

[@BaconSenpai]

You're dumb.

[@RickKong1998]

James Pack but Protoss didn’t get any GSL regular season champion since 2018, guess what? Terran got all of them

[@Revalstarcraft]

That last engage by Stats was so bad

So terrans are allowed to complain when they just won 4 GSL´s in a row but the would not be allowed to complain anymore after the fifth win?

[@hhhhippo]

Man Tasteless has no idea what he's talking about half the time, he ruins casts.

[@foxmulderms]

Group D games were bad.

[@allydea]

The 2 most boring players in the Korean scene. While I cannot but respect their skill level I was hoping both would lose this series.

[@keep_walking_on_grass]

emp, disable, blizzard seriously....... whats wrong in your balance team ? colossi nerf... stimmed marines run faster than charge zealots, void ray nerf ( flux vanes) what else.... no im not a toss. yes i now its the last terran.

[@scifitoilet]

TERRAN!!!!!!!!!!
