PartinG looked as as lost in PvZ as I am currently so I can't help but sympathize with him. I will watch him closely to see if he can find a solution for his current weakness in this specific match up. Please, sign me up so Parting seonsaengnim can teach me!

I think soO knows how to play against PartinG. Well, its difficult to play vs his m8.

Moreover, i looked the game and PartinG played very weirdly. I mean, It was not his true level.

PS: Sorry for my bad English :s

The problem is not his PvZ. He was in a really really good shape since few months in this MU. In 2014 before his match vs SoO he had only lost vs Soulkey 1-2. And he had played brilliantly this time.
In fact he played poorly, that's all. He seems too nervous in Ro8. And in playing vs a teammate and worse vs SoO whose play bothers him, he tries to play differently but then his level of play is affected.

I hope he will keep his motivation.

One of my favourite PartinG games featured in TL's The Best Games of March 2014:

Classic vs (P)

PartinG on Habitation Station - VOD

While The Great Book of Protoss Bullshit has some of the best Protoss strategies known to man, it forgot to include one of the most basic and most revered strategies in PvP, the unscouted proxy 2gate. You'd think that early probe scouting would be normal in PvP, but instead we end up seeing players gambling $100,000 on the assumption of "nah, he won't proxy."

Even teammates aren't exempt from this dastardly tactic. Not even attempting to hide his balls, Classic built his gateways right in the middle of PartinG's natural. Classic seemed assured a victory after PartinG failed to scout, but he couldn't have expected what actually happened. Displaying some of the best decision making and micro we've ever seen in early game PvP, PartinG found a way to turn the situation around and somehow come out with a victory.
