Well there was nothing to question in KT sending Zest out. He is the GSL-champion and not sending him out would be madness.
The problem was wasting TY against Effort. They should had kept him and had another extra life vs Bbyong. I mean, they could had sent Zest vs Effort already to take care of him. Then there had been one random player from CJ left, probably Bbyong vs Zest + 2 choices from KT, probably still had sent Stats and I guess Ty, but the way they handled it left them without options.

If CJ win the finals, R4 will have almost no impact for the final playoffs (meaning WHO the top4 will be, only the order of Top4 will be decided)

Actually it's funny that the player who definitely prepared the least vs zerg played the best game vs Effort.

It would take a minor miracle but one of Samsung/MVP/IM could potentially make the playoffs still.

Can CJ vs SKT truly top Jin Air vs CJ and CJ vs KT? These have been two great matches, hopefully CJ won't stomp SKT too badly


You serious ?
SKT will DOMINATE

they will dominate the second place again, you just wait. Bbyong + effort unstopable


There are no Code S Terrans in iloveoov's team right now, nothing for effOrt to dominate.
And only 2 Code B, so it's ok.

What the hell....I am so used to having the team suck at playoffs all these years that I can't really understand this thing I'm feeling right now o.O

Let's go...one more KT to go!
CJ Fighting! (--.--)

I thought exactly the same. But yeah, we don't know the behind the scenes. Particularly, I don't think TY can handle the pressure of being ace / last man; however I still think they should have sent Stats first and then TY...

...well it doesn't matter now I have to move from cursing CJ to cheering for them next Tuesday -.-

I just can't understand how a championship caliber player like Zest can FAIL in such an epic fashion, against a drop that came at a reasonable timing, coming from a TWO BASE Terran.

It's not like Zest got caught by surprise, he saw it with the Observer just as the Medivac was leaving the Terran base. His build was very standard marco, going Robo Forge into Colossus, with Cannons in his mineral lines.

It might be a tall order to not suffer any loss, but losing 22 Probes like that is just mind boggling.

Zest mostly avoided PvT in his GSL win. It's his weakest matchup by far.
Plus Bbyong is like top3 TvP player in the world, Zest isn't nowhere near top3 PvT

AFAIK he thought it was going to be a mine drop, and he also didn't see the 6-8 hellions. That's why he had 4 obs instead of like 2 and an immo or something like that... Plus bbyong traditionally uses a lot of mine drops in his play
