Ladies and Gents, show some hype for SKT vs. best KT, individual league edition!
My name is Boxerfred, and I will be your host for tonight's (today's if your a European resident) set of GomExPvP!
If you are a girl, please cheer for rain, in reminiscence of that certain gif that exists in the depth of the interwebz. If you're a straight up man (or just another random netizen), show your muscles and raise some signs in front of your monitor, wishing Zest all the best! Zest 3-0'ed the dirty cheesecake that is called sOs before, and goes into the semi-final of this season's Code S with an all-kill of SKT1 in the Proleague 2014 Round 1 playoffs.
Just as Waxangel said in his preview, Zest worked his way from the very bottom up to this place, so, dear Flash fanboys, you better start liking the thought that Zest might even be replacing Flash as the KT ace in Proleague, if he goes straight for his first Code S win.
I have the honor to also present some new-to-the-scene guys called Dan "Artosis" Stemkowski and that brother of Day[9], Tasteless. Artosis predicted Rain already to take the series, and since he is a man well-known to not-jinx anyone, Rain will crush Zest 4-0 of course. Enough now! Let's start!
Set 1: Habitation Station:
0:00 Zest spawning in sexy pink trunks, Rain being more conservative in some blue pants.
0:00-2:00 Rain thouroughly searches his base for proxies. What a surprise, Rain is not a solid player who's known for his safety! No, wait..
3.45 Zest deciding to go for a Stargate (a really fast one), going straight into phoenix.
4:45 Rain throws down a Nexus, which is a "good counter for phoenix" according to the casting experts. Then, he throws down his own stargate and additional two gateways.
5:45 Rain preventing his MSC to die since he has two sentries and a stalker. Zest though is really going strong with his harass, clean micro so far. At home, Zest expands, too.
6:30 Zest forcing a nexus cannon. I guess you might call this a success. He goes into Robo now, but doesn't stop phoenix production.
7:30 Zest 6 - 3 Rain (Phoenix count)
8:00 Zest gets a free Phoenix (which is really important since it's phoenix vs. phoenix). Gonna be hard for Rain to keep up!
9:00 Worker count kinda even, OH and there go two phoenixes down for Zest. As Heartland says, does Rain just make "reactive phoenixes" work in Pvp?
9:50 Zest lifting + killing a stalker at Rain's natural, forcing another overcharge. Rain goes DTs (he's protoss, there's no point in the game that is wrong)
10:50 Second robo for Zest (or did he cancel the first one? Gonna confirm), phoenixes go get more workers (up to 10 now)
11:30 3 more gateways, Forge, Immortal production for Zest.
12:00 oh wow Rains Phoenixes seem to be trapped, he splits them in the bottom right corner of habitation station.
12:30 just saw that Zest has a second stargate. Must've missed that, sorry.

13:00 DTs from Rain do "OH MY GOD NO DETECTION DAMAGE" - Tasteless. Killing 3 workers.
13:30 Zest goes freakin mass Phoenix in the mineral line, but blink stalkers from Rain seem to snipe the natural of Zest TOTAL MADNESS GOING ON and Rain ..backs off, not killing the nexus. "NO WAY TO GET THAT NOW" - Artosis
14:20 Phoenixes for Zest are back and GATEWAY EXPLOSION happend (5 gateways more now) sick fight on natural's choke, looks like Zest can fight Rain back (Immmortal, Zealots, Phoenix vs. Blink Stalkers + Sentries)
15:00 Rain 89/Zest 104 supply, guess he got that game one.

15:30 Zest up 12 workers, Rain blinking up the natural vs. 3 immortals, losing way too much in that attack, and BOOM - he GG's!
16:00 Zest sips some .. probably Hot6 or something, mixed with SKT fanboy tears. GG!
Looks like stuchiu wrote that preview mentioned at the beginning, not Waxangel.  Sorry!
