You can't really judge Zero on best/worst matchup data because his data is so messed up in general. Reposting from the PR thread:

Looking at his record, Zero's win/loss ratio against A- and S-tier opponents is functionally identical to his W/L vs. B-tier players. This says to me that Zero's losses are almost entirely attributable to his own mistakes, and that if he can start shaving those down, he is going to absolutely tear shit up.

For reference, some career stats:

Versus Consensus S-Tier (Flash, Jaedong, Fantasy, Bisu
6-4

Versus A+ Opponents (Effort, Leta, Stork, Jangbi, Skyhigh, Hwasin in vZerg, Light, Kal
10-11

Versus Everyone Else
50-50

Man, I remember when I first saw (Z)EffOrt play i was like who the fuck is this kid?
Now he's been trucking along quite nicely, i would love to see this kid in the finals, he can go far if he keeps moving along at the pace he's been going lately,
no doubt he's been taking lessons from the Maestro.

It's missing, will fix it as soon as I get home. I definitely recapped the game, its weird its not there. If you're dying to know what happened, Zero went standard 3 base, held DTs and an attack with nice simcity positioning, and used his muta flock to keep map control and eventually won with a huge army, pretty much what he always does ZvP hehe.

Sure, thanks man. I was just wondering why it's not there so I was trying also to be good community member to point it out

(Z)EffOrt 3-1's (Z)Calm
(T)Canata 3-2's (Z)Jaedong
(P)Bisu takes out (T)Iris and makes it look easy


3-0
and (Z)ZerO owns (Z)Kwanro 3-1

semis (Z)EffOrt takes out (T)Canata and (P)Bisu takes out (Z)ZerO for and epic final, (Z)EffOrt vs. (P)Bisu

just a hunch...

EDIT: forgot that they switch to five game sets starting in the quarters. Noob mistake.
In order to move forward, we must rid ourselves of that which holds us back. Check out my stream and give me tips! twitch.tv/intotheskyy

i think i've decided to start liquibetting against jaedong in these tournaments. that way when he loses i'm only very upset and don't cry myself to sleep.

since June:

Zero ZvZ: 1-7

From May 1st to March 3rd:

Zero ZvZ: 13-5
Zero ZvT: 1-5
Zero ZvP: 3-1

Here is the Power Rank as of 05/15/2009 on Zero:
Have you visited Zero's TLPD page lately? Things are beginning to look a bit crazy in there. Aside from 4-0ing his OSL group with infested Terrans for style, over the past month Zero has unleashed a ferocious beatdown on his fellow Zergs to prove that his Lost Saga MSL practice hours have made him a premier ZvZ player to rival even the Legend Killer. Zero's position over Jaedong may be short-lived, but he's earned it: 12-2 since the last PR (losses to Bisu and Leta), rock-solid ZvZ and ZvP play, and a dash of un-before seen confidence could mean Zero is setting up to have a field day with this Starleague season's Zerg-heavy field.

Zero may be inconsistent, but even if ZvZ was his worst matchup it would certainly not be "by far".

Zero's all mechanics in that MU, he's not no brains.
Don't get angry, it's true if you see his ZvZ games.

Even mentioning his known inconsistency calling ZerO's ZvZ his worst "by far" is one hell of a stretch.

Still pissed at Fantasy vs Bisu. I feel like fantasy decided to let Bisu take the first game. And second game was incredibly unclassy!

Fantasy downright owned Jangbi and Stork, two very strong PvT players.
