Rematch curse strikes again, good for Zest, showing better games the second time around.

RO8 again is good, Rogue and soO will be tough but if its innovation or dear I think they are beatable for Zest.

My money is on Innovation. He's better than Dear straight up, soO can't really ZvT and I don't believe in Rogue at all right now. That's not the worst draw for Zest.

Honestly the one I'm most worried about from that group is soO. He's a great ZvPer and goes into overdrive in knockout stages. The other three are all doable.

It is easy to dismiss rogue based on online results, but in the ro32 he easily won vs stats for example. Ofc in the past rogue never made a big run in gsl, so there is that. :D
I am just really pessimistic about Zest in general, i definitely need a great offline run to really see him as a contender for anything again. Hopefully!

Happy to see that Zest advanced, even if it was via the rematch curse. I have to agree with Olli on this one. Rogue is probably the strongest player in Group B, but the way the group is set up makes me think that Inno has the best chance of advancing first.

Which leads us to Zest vs Inno in the Ro8, a matchup with a long history. They have a very close lifetime record, but paradoxically, whenever they meet it tends to be rather onesided. Last time it was Zest that got the better end of that onesidedness, but with the recent Terran buffs I'd hesitate to predict the same result again. The largest concern for Zest is probably adapting to the new meta, something he doesn't exactly have the best record with. Zest likes his Colossi in PvT, and I'd theorycraft that the PvT meta is definitely shifting away from Colossi after the Marauder+Viking buffs.

I'm a big fan of both players though, so I'm pretty conflicted about it.

Zest sent Inno home in the rd of 16 last time and he will send Inno home again if they meet in the rd of 8.

Unlike pvsnp I'm not conflicted at all. I want Zest to destroy him.

I feel like Zest matches alright vs Rogue because his freaking good at defending all ins (especilly nydus)
And idk about his PvT either, it's been a long since I've seen him playing terrans, even in online cups.

Anyway we will know in a few days!

Zest vs Dear is quite hard to predict. I know Zest's PvP is not the best at the moment althrough he did well against Patience (or Patience did poorly). But I don't remember when I saw Dear playing against a strong Protoss for the last time. Maybe it was he GSL season 1 where he did poorly against Protoss (Classic, SoS).
We will see!

Zest couldn't have got a better outcome to be honest. Just has to stop himself going sOs dark shrine mind games in PvP thats how he lost super tournament.

Dear is 12-10 vs Protoss this calender year. That includes wins over Nice, Cloudy, Cyan, Trust and JYP. If you consider Showtime and Creator as top tier his record vs top tier Protoss is just 7-10.

He's played Zest twice and they each won one.

In GSL season 1 he got to the rd of 16 by beating Byul twice. Then he went out 0-2 in the rd of 16 losing to Maru and Gumiho.

Seems like Dear is deadly against Zergs but not as much vs the other 2 races. I'm giving Zest a slight edge.

Rogue basically blew it vs Dear. He had a hundred army supply advantage and still lost. Give Dear credit for resourcefulness making that dark shrine. The DTs chipped away at Rogue's worker count while giving him time to close the gap in army supply.

Zest is a better PvPer than Dear. The question is does he show that or not.

He's also a better PvPer than herO for example but seemed lost in the super cup
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Could have been a worse draw all things considered. Dear is supposedly really good right now, though, so certainly won't be easy. Still, it's a PvP, a lot can happen.

On the plus side there's a very good chance we get an all protoss side of the bracket. Given that D1 will almost certainly be Stats/sOs, and C2 will likely be either Classic or Trap.

If that is the case then Zest should be practicing nothing but PvP and he is historically better than the others when that happens.

Let's remember what Artosis said after Solar typed GG in game. I'm paraphrasing here....

"When you see Zest play like that how could you ever doubt him? It's going to be Zest vs Rogue in the final I'm telling you."

The more I see Dear playing, the more I doubt the fact that Zest can beat him. Dear looks on fire at the moment!

Zest is the sleeper of this GSL like stats last season, going to quietly get through every round.
