Wtf did Zest lose
Well at least I woke up in time for rOachroachroach vs The Machine


Zest lost

Ugh. Was the serie good at least?
Let's hope he'll take 2015 by storm. Two tournaments in Korea means twice more to win


The series was really disappointing by Zest, and he had the series sealed when he got a cannon up against Life who intended to 3 hatch before pool. Alas abysmal micro made him lose his TWO probes who could have set up additional cannons and he proceeded to lose the decisive game . Other than that, he lost the first game to a pretty roach corruptor all-in, lost the second one after a really strange build (6 gates +1 -> "fake ?" third -> moves out, gets surrounded, loses), won on Nimbus an attrition war against SH corruptor viper (good one), won on MGR with the same DT rush he did vs Soulkey on the same map, and wasted his victory on Catallena after that miserable failure of a cannon rush. Even Life admitted after game he had lost in game 5 and only pulled through because Zest mismicroed horribly.

Aww Zest why T_T thanks for the recap though (:

MC was the best for about 4 months. Naniwa was actually really good as well and a strong contender for quite a while. HerO did super well mid-2011 as well. Maybe even Oz? Puzzle?

In any case, MC wasn't the absolute best for a year.

NesTea wasn't even facing good opponents by 2011 standards, people need to go back and look at the brackets.

For all they're worth, as soO the 0 title winner is demonstrating against Taeja the 11 premier title champion.

real talk

is hyun vs inno worth staying up for?
does hyun legitimately stand a chance for a series or will it prob be a stomp?


Id have said Hyun has a better chance vs inno than Life did vs Zest. And here we are.

earlier i was thinking about how big the gap between these players really is, relatively speaking. like, how big of a gap is jjakji-zest compared to something like... vortix-taeja? or huk-snute? or anything?

i know people will lol at this but one of the things i find really cool about pro starcraft is how many separate tiers of play there are and how the same couple of players can potentially look even in one game and mismatched in the next

Everything that made him good was nerfed/changed and he's too stubborn to change.

Basically.

He appeared some times in Proleague but I feel he never got a good grasp of HotS, though his defensive play should have suited this expansion quite well. He's still playing and could have a good 2015.
