I have no idea how he lost to Hurricane, but he played like a man on fire in the series I saw. Died to a really odd build from GuMiho he's probably never seen before, and failed an early cheese against Classic - only two games he lost. Any game that went past early game shithousery he simply outplayed his opponents. Cool to see, and I hope it continues.

No one mentionned it but he qualified for the GSL code S during day 1, which is nice, altough he didn't played against the scariest players.

Still looking good for 2019, this time he doesn't have a matchup that is an auto lose, i think he'll have great performences

Come on... I prepared everything to have my lunch ready to watch the Zest vs Innovation match (olimoleague winter) but Zest never came

I also just checked the GSL group. Zest has quite a hard one with Patience, aLive and Rogue. I think he should be able to do it, but all other three players are quite good oponents.

That first series was so frustrating. Lost to DT's and then lost to the first two adepts getting in. For some reason Patience always just gives Zest trouble. I don't really get it. At least he still has IEM next week I guess.

Hate to put this here of all places, but Zest's choice of music–and the timing of that music–was exquisite.

Well looks like Zest got the PvP group for iem. No idea what will happen. PvP is crazy these days.

Zest 6-1 in maps right now in his group

Pretty much guaranteed to get through unless something crazy happens.

Strong showing today. The two maps he lost to non-Stats players were pretty much just games that fell apart from beginning to end due to early game advantages spiraling out of control. Still felt he attempted reasonable things to come back in those games. Stats series was extremely equal and could really have gone either way.

So overall very encouraging, but of course little indication as to whether Zest's PvZ and PvT are up for the task.

He made it, which is way nice, now let's pray he's gonna get a good bracket.

His PvZ has looked pretty decent lately so hopefully he'll get soO and at least put on a good fight against Serral.

Split personality I swear. Looks brilliant in online PvZ, can't put a single reasonable game together offline.

Well at least Zest lost to the champion I guess lol. Doesn’t really make me feel better about his play though in PvZ. Was pretty terrible. At least his PvP and PvT still looked fantastic offline but with PvZ I just don’t know. Can’t remember the last time he had a good offline PvZ performance.
