Lol indeed 😂 I also expect him to lose here and I'll take it with a good laugh. It's almost like he is trolling us fans.

Remember when KT used to send him as ace in all matches despite him losing them always? For some reason this "goat online / trashy offline" situation reminds me of those times. Frustrating times!

I always wonder why people just talk about everything in Zest fan club, even when it has nothing to do with Zest


Because Zest sucks this year.

Seem you have not update the standings for a while. 6th is Dark, 7th is herO and 8th is Buyn. Still chance herO and Buyn get out. Dark is pretty safe now.


This is from blizzard's own site. Are they not up to date?

https://wcs.starcraft2.com/en-us/standings/

Zest is ranked 21st.


Blizzard rarely update their standings and usually late. I remember they have a article name 8 players who qualify directly for this year's Blizzcon and they forget to update it since GSL season 2. I found out that Liquid wiki standing update most of the time and easy to see.

The WCS website is perhaps the best example of Blizzard's esports management.

That is pathetic that Blizzard can't keep something up that belongs to them. WCS and Blizzcon is their baby for crying out loud.

Even sans Zest this is going to be an incredibly exciting playoff run and championship. Just a shame that Zest is so far removed from those top 16 guys.

Did you guys see Rogue after losing to Stats? He was really devastated.

Nobody can say that Protoss is under powered. 6 of the top 16 players in GSL were Protoss. The top player in circuit is Protoss. And now 3 of the 4 in SSL premier playoffs are Protoss including the top 2 seeds Stats and classic. Only Dark is not a Protoss.

SSL premier is 10 of the top players in the game over 9 matches. No fluke there.

Of course somebody would say that Zest's failure in these big tournaments has been so spectacular race should not matter but some Protoss have tried to make that argument. It's a weak argument.

Zerg have a 65% winrate in GSL iirc, can't check right now. Aligulac have both matchups around 45% for Protoss. That's what you should be looking at, not just representation. But I agree that Zest's issues go beyond balance, especially because he's the best Protoss on ladder and others do alright in tournaments. He doesn't. The issue is something else.

At least Zest doesn't try to qualify for ASL so we can rule that out as well

For the top Protoss players it is pretty balanced. According to Aligulac this is how Neeb and Hero have done. I rounded up or down.

Neeb
Overall-69%
vs Protoss-70%
vs Terran 68%
vs Zerg 69%

Hero
Overall-63%
Vs Protoss- 61%
vs Terran-63%
vs Zerg-66%

Interesting that Hero's worst matchup is against Protoss but the numbers are very close all the way around.

For Zest his win rate against Zerg and Terran are much worse than against Protoss. 67% against Protoss and 57% against the other 2 races.

I think the balance is an obvious factor in Zest's failures. But other reasons go beyond that. Probably his inability to improve and learn on his own without a coach/team supporting him.

It's not his mechanics that are bad, he just looked clueless on how to play. He did archon drops in literally every PvZ game for months, he'd stay on adept phoenix for 20 minutes in PvT etc

It does look like he's getting back into his groove recently though, with ridiculous online/ladder success. I think it's too early to call him a ladder-only hero as well, he only started dominating it this hard after HSC. He hasn't had any opportunities to qualify for tournaments since then
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

He still does archon drops in PvZ but isn't that strategy kinda figured out by now though? It's not really meta anymore.

That's what I mean, he never stopped doing archon drops for months after it got figured out. He never seemed to grasp the strategy part of the game since KT disbanded

Archon drops aren't bad, they never were. SG openings just became more popular, and to be fair Zest caught on really early. He did them back at HSC already.

so apparently he started streaming again today, I wasn't able to catch a big part of the stream but he seams to be losing steam. I think he will be streaming again tomorrow.


When I ask him who does he think is going to win GSL, he predicted INnoVation. Let's see if it's accurate.

Recently I notice this trend of whoever is predicted/favoured by Zest to win would lose afterward (see: Classic or Rogue)

herO's PvP is his worst matchup historically but the fact he likes to bump into sOs, Classic and Stats all the time, that doesn't help with his stats in PvP.
