LOL. Someone did say Zest can win if it is PvP and as you said yourself, he used a lot of same builds over and over again, especially the proxy warpgate one base all-in.

Yeah he does use that 4 gate all in a lot but he also looked really good in the longer games. He outplayed Stats especially game 2 on Newkirk.
Well that's right now. Zest, in the grand scheme of things, is able to play at that level. He's just not there at the moment. Stats isn't better than everyone ever before, he's just the guy right now.
Didn't watch the series against Solar that closely since I was in class but it didn't seem like the most one sided 3-0 series I have ever seen. Solar probably has the best ZvP in the world so it isn't that shocking that he lost like that. At least his PvP looks excellent and he is beating players he should in PvZ like Armani and Impact. I'm a bit more hopeful for the next gsl then I was a few days ago. Hopefully he keeps improving.
I still don't understand why he doesn't just copy what Stats does and actually win
If copying Stats were so easy, the ladder would be filled with GSL champions.
Copying build orders is easy, every ladder Toss can copy Stats's builds. But only Stats can execute those builds well enough to win GSL.
Exept Zest has shown at multiple points in the past that he can play at the very best level when he tries, and he's been practicing with Stats for like 5 years now? 80% of which he's been the better player
And he's not even trying to copy Stats builds which is the problem. He does the same thing every game and it doesn't work.
