Since Neeb and Kelazhur dropped out Zest has to play Cham now. Playing PvZ cross server is going to be pretty tough. Hopefully he will be playing on US West.

His bracket is so much easier now, lol. Cham, Stats/Has, Elazer/Losira/TRUE is absolutely winnable compared to the upper bracket where everyone could be a tough opponent.

The tournament got easier for zest and harder for everyone else.

Aren't they playing on Korean server anyway? I remember Naruto saying something about that during Maru vs Solar last night.

Only if it's Koreans vs Koreans, then there's no point to make them play in another server.

Also fyi Zest is signed up for the open bracket of Katowice: https://play.eslgaming.com/starcraft/global/sc2/major/masters/season-12-world-championship-ro76-players/contestants/#!?type=name&order=asc&page=2

Well losing 0-2 to Cham is not a great start. Lag plays a part I suppose, but still.

You'd struggle to find a worse start than being 2-0'd by Cham.

He has no chance now, not with soO in the lower bracket at least

Zest streamed for 9 hours today. Didn't get to watch most of it but good to see him preparing hard for Pyeongchang

I just hope he's worked on his PvZ. Serral and Elazer are not close to soO's level yet, but they aren't pushovers.

Zest got a good group I think. The other groups would have been much tougher.

Zest got the easiest group. Leenock and Scarlett are not the strongest against toss. If he makes ro8 I don't think he can beat anyone is group B. Maybe TY?

He literally just beat aLive in a Bo5 in an IEM qualifier. He can also beat Dark and soO if he prepares well. We're not talking about some scrub here. I wouldn't favor him against the two Zergs at the moment, but a lot can change until then.

soO and Dark are literally the best ZvP in korea. Zest is looking good but not that good. He could very well face TY anyway, who has lost the last 4 GSL ro8s in a row

At least he can focus on one matchup for his group. Pity its his weakest.

Well practicing PvZ will be great for him because he needs a strong PvZ to go to the final to IEM PyeongChang, then he would probably face sOs against who he has a very great record, so a strong PvZ could possibly mean to win the whole IEM
