He also would have won against Solar if he didn't fuck up the force fields I'm pretty sure. Zest is a GSL Champion, of course he would own Solar if the PC-setup was normal and just a normal day. But so much thing of the game happend today. | ||

Doesn't matter that he's a GSL champion. Fact is, he was a GSL champion in HotS already, but Solar still leads the head-to-head record. Stats has always had less trouble with Solar for some reason. Solar is absolutely good enough to beat Zest even when Zest doesn't have the worst day ever. But the fact is, even on the worst day ever, Zest could have won if he nailed like 3 force fields. | ||

Also, is that just me, or does Zest really hate disruptors? Because I think since his loss against Dear in round 1 he's made like 2 or 3 disruptors total across all matchups. | ||

I don't really see Zest as a micro-heavy player, and Disruptors are micro-heavy units? too much coin-flipping in one unit doesn't fit his playstyle the thing about Zest is the more you expect from him the more he's likely to lose | ||

Sure Dear played it vs TY today, but overall? I feel like the unit is a design fail tbh, as ninja toss said it feel very coinflippy | ||

I feel like the unit is a design fail tbh, as ninja toss said it feel very coinflippy In Korea it's not very common, no. Mostly in PvT to throw in something different between your usual stuff. I think Dear used them nearly every Ro16 game in Code S. But you'd expect any player to be mix it up every now and then. The only disruptors I remember from Zest were the ones on Lerilak Crest in the GSL semifinals. So even though they are clearly not unusable, he doesn't seem to like them much. I don't really think it's coinflippy in that sense, because at the end of the day timing and controlling your shots is up to you, as is dodging shots that come from the opponent. It's just that it's super high risk because of the cooldown, while the reward is anywhere between high and non-existent.

That's true but Zest is also one of the best phoenix players, and those are extremely micro-heavy. | ||

As you said then the cooldown kicks in and you are pretty much fucked. It's even worse because you cannot really do anything else in the meantime when you control the shot (whole attention has to be on the shot), and if you do you probably won't kill anything with it. So i totally understand why Zest doesn't wanna use it very much, it makes a lot of sense imo. | ||

Hey, at least the AI helps out and units that your opponent doesn't pay attention to will run into the disruptor shot like fools  I get why he doesn't use it much, but it'd be fun if he threw them in sometimes. Someone as brilliant as Zest should be able to make them work as zoning tools. Ya know, just mix it up a little. | ||

Zest is a solid player, if he can win, then he will win, especially on the SPL, he has to fight for his team. beside, is today a bad day for Zest? I would say NO considering his victory against Dear. So, today is not his bad day but he still can't win against a Zerg, that's the problem we should worried about. PS: let's forget about the disruptor, Zest will crush the other protoss with or without it.  | ||

He lost to Departure and Rogue on SPL, I thought that's OK maybe Zest was on a bad day. But then he lost to Snute with a 0-3,I still blamed the PING problem and GSL preparing, but after he lost to Departure in Kung Fu Cup and Solar today , I can't find any excuses for him.

Zest may or may not have weak PvZ but you cant say it because of the game today. The same about Kung-fu Cup... He didn't play as his level, even you could see his mechanics ( which are matchup independent) were bad. Finally, he lost against Departure in proleague too, but he also defeated Dark and Rogue. And he looked quite on point while doing it so it's noy like he doesnt have a clue about PvZ. Again, Im not saying his PvZ is fine but we can't tell if it's good or bad by looking at today or Kung-fu Cup... | ||

But as I said earlier, he seemed really angry today, so I don't think we can take out much from that game. It really had that "ah fuck it" feeling. Also in general, the games with long technical breaks tend to end up weird. On May 09 2016 23:26 Silvana wrote: Someone on reddit is suggesting all these hotkey fuckups could be due to a bug on the game. But I guess if this was the case then Kespa would know, right? Well, it feels like hotkey problems happen almost every week in SPL, so it's definitely possible. We can't tell how often it's players' fault or not though and KeSPA referees don't seem to accept that as explanation. | ||
