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.
