Zest qualified for IEM Katowice. Hopefully he's allowed to travel since he's around the same age Classic was when Classic wasn't allowed to travel to Katowice last year.

Imagine if he qualifies for the Finals next year at IEM Katowice and KeSPA will have to intervene the same way they did with Classic last year to let him attend lol

I'm out of the loop, why wouldn't he be able to attend?

If you have to serve in the military soon SK doesn’t allow you to travel outside the country or something like that. Happened to Classic last year at Katowice where he couldn’t attend the open bracket. No idea if that would happen to Zest but hopefully not!

I thought Zest was exempt from military service though? At least I read that somewhere.

I don’t think he is. I remember Gemini saying that he actually almost got pulled into the military in 2018 but was able to avoid it.

Damn Zest is playing so well. I have no expectations for him vs Serral tomorrow. It's just nice to see him doing well and actually get far in a big tournament again!

Zest is best, the Night King is but another king for the Kingslayer.

Sucks that he lost like that in the finals after such a strong showing. Hopefully he keeps up his form for the GSL Super Tournament.

Zest made it out of his gsl group pretty easily. He looks like the best toss in the world right now (top 2 at worst)!

I'd say he's the best pretty comfortably, although that's in no small part because there just isn't anyone else that's great. I'd say Trap and Stats (when he plays) are 2 and 3, but the next best might already be Parting. There's just not a lot of good Protoss anymore.
