Zest after winning his 2nd GSL season, Mvp be afraid because Zest is best!

photo by NoHyu



Zest announced his arrival at the very top of SCII with one of the most impressive feats in Proleague, all-killing SKT's strongest lineup - (P)Rain, (Z)Soulkey, (Z)soO, (P)PartinG - in the 2014 Round 1 Finals. It was a first showing with the same dominance Zest employed over all of Korea for the remainder of 2014.

He left his opponents no time to breathe and adjust. After his Proleague win, Zest went on to take home the first GSL season of 2014 after a killer run. (P)Trap, (Z)Leenock, (Z)Soulkey, (P)Dear, (P)sOs, (P)Rain and (Z)soO couldn't stop him as Zest first made his way through one of the strongest groups in GSL history, then took down the two best PvPers of their time and finally overcame the man who would go on to appear in two more GSL finals.

A second GSL title followed immediately, as Zest continued to reign over Korea. A third Korean title in KeSPA Cup finally cemented his place as the best PvPer in the world, a title he has yet to let go of. That championship also meant that Zest tied Mvp's record of three Korean titles in one year, an astounding feat in an environment with fewer tournaments. By the end of the year, nobody had any doubts about who the best player in the world was. Zest had reached at least the quarterfinals of every tournament he had entered all year, bar BlizzCon, where he narrowly lost to eventual champion Life.

He painted a strong picture of a player seeking perfection that year. With perfectly refined and mapped out builds and strategy, Zest conquered the strongest tournaments in the world. Not afraid to use the same strategies on certain maps almost every game - down to even his pylon and building placement - Zest's style of play was quite obvious. He was better than everyone else, and it was on them to throw a wrench in his gears. That showed especially in his PvP, where his builds and finesse were studied but never quite replicated by others even at the very top. At the end of 2014, Zest had put together a year that was dominant as only few before.

2015 began as a year of disappointment for Zest. A steep fall from grace saw him fail to qualify for either of the Korean individual leagues and shaky performances in Proleague raised questions. Nevertheless, Zest again showed his championship calibre by winning the stacked World Championship of IEM's Season IX in Katowice. His success elevated from there on, with Zest reaching at quarterfinals of each GSL and Starleague season he participated in. In Season 4 of Proleague that year, he finished off the competition with a perfect 11-0 score, winning the round for KT with an ace match win over (Z)DRG in the playoffs, before characteristically taking down SKT in the finals with three kills. Zest had finally found his way back among the best.

2016 and Legacy of the Void brought about changes to the entire game, but only seemed to make Zest stronger. His style has not changed, but seems even more perfect than before. An absurd 18-1 run through the first GSL season of the year easily catapulted him into the finals to face (T)TY in an all KT affair. On his way to the top, Zest crushed (T)Maru, (T)Journey, (T)TaeJa twice, (T)Cure, (Z)soO and (P)Dear, losing only a single map to Journey in the process. An absurd PvT win percentage around 97% shows just how dominant Zest is in the matchup. But 85% in PvP and 60% PvZ show that he is certainly powerful in the other two matchups as well. Zest entered the finals with an overall 82% win record in 2016, an astounding feat at the highest level of StarCraft II.

Regarding Zest:

I hate him because he all killed my then-favorite PL team and proceeded to beat Soulkey, Dear, sOs, RAIN, and soO to win a GSL. I hate him because I like SKT and do not like the whole KT thing. I hate him because he came out of nowhere, won a gsl, another tournament, and continued to be good while beating EVERY person I root for. He beats Rain 3-0 in gsl, reverse sweeps sOs and beats herO in Kespa cup,

But what I really hate about him is that in doing all this, he looks amazing. Like, I feel like he stole all the soul and essence of Rain, the first player I liked and still one of my favorites, and used it to elevate himself to a god. He plays like a real champion, and it scares me how damn smart his plays are. He's a killer and I sometimes have trouble denying him of his victories in my mind, because he plays that well. Every time I want to see him lose, he wins and it makes me angry. That's why I hate Zest.

Also he's extremely handsome and it pisses me off.

Funny little "rant" by KingofdaHipHop and now for more love some pictures of Zest :D

Grrr I knew Sora had something good prepared for this map, but for a moment I thought -and hoped- Zest would pull one of his crazy comebacks... He fought well, but it wasn't enough
