Oh c'mon some of you guys might think Zest is overrated (not his fault Artosis likes to hype any good protoss to high heavens), and you're probably right on current form, but you can't deny game 5 was defensive play in perfection.

Zest making the best comeback out of every single SC2 game that has been broadcasted. Nobody can top that comeback. I knew Zest would win. Hydra did well, but Zest is just on another level.

What about Mvp vs INnoVation?

Rekt...

Isn't "rekt" an explanation for completely destroying someone?
I think it was a very narrow Game 5.

But if you say rekt because... well if we like to make up statistics, the last 3 maps Zest has a 3-0 score over Hydra.

I missed the last two games. Did Hydra choke or did Zest actually not play like garbage?

Hydra played them quite poorly, Zest played quite well

Why don't Zergs invest into upgrades against Protoss when playing a style like Hydra just did?


My impression is that they do, Hydra didn't play perfect in this one.

Then again it was still pretty damn good holds in the beginning by Zest. Pretty good game overall.

he was doing an all-in, you don't need upgrades for that

he still could have tried to put his infestation pit or evo to work after the 1st wave. or even saturate the macro hatchery he put on his 4th

well yes, and then he'd have less to attack, Zest would max out and just kill him

I'd take that coinflip over trying to Tefel it out

works for Tefel in RO32 of GO4SC2, there was a chance it could work for Hydra in RO16 of IEM

I actually thought Zest held that fairly well. It pains me to see Hydra throw like that, though. Have seen countless zergs die in that exact same fashion on that exact same map. Roach/Hydra doesn't work against Protoss on Catallena. We've seen it over and over and over. Life lost to Rain in that exact same fashion. I don't know why the zergs (Hydra) don't transition after they take that first good engagement, Hydra had a 4th base and could have teched to Hive and got vipers. Instead he just slowly threw away more and more roach/hydra into unfavorable engagements. But still, even though it was a throw, a throw doesn't happen unless the other player plays well. I thought Zest played that really well, for Zest, considering how sloppy he looked in the other games.
