He might just have hit a slump. It happens to the best of players but he was wayyyyyy too good last year for me to write him off just because of that. Give the man some time to sort his shit out

What, saying Zest is a patchtoss which makes no sense at all?


I mean that in a slight tongue in cheek way.

I am going to seriously reevaluate how I view Zest though. He's not a patchtoss, but his position as a top-tier Protoss and player is rapidly dropping and a loss to Hydra would be the tipping point given the prestige of the event.

Zest should bring his A-game

So did I. Nobody in their right mind would think Zest is a patchtoss (it can even be disproven on a factual basis). And I really want Zest to do well, so I hope he prepared well, he had quite a bit of time. If he brings his A game though, he's the only player on his side of the bracket who I definitely see beating herO <.< (Life & INno are more like even matches for herO, not sure about Bbyong as they are teammates).

Is there a reason for that? I think IEM would deserve it (and more liquibet = more fun)

I think it's because liquibets require at least 24 hours to vote for fairness, so it's less suitable for weekend tournaments. I remember it was done for the first two rounds of the WCS Global Finals last year (which were a week apart).

Afaik a liquibet must be up 24 hours before the match happens or something like that for the system to award points (that's why we got 0 points for Life vs Dream), so it's not applicable to weekend tournaments?

Yeah sure, but that isn't really an issue a lot of the time either, no?
Usually we know the groups way ahead of time (at least in the early rounds).
Just like in this case.

I guess it's more about the work? I would gladly help if that's the case hehe

Well, since the last patch, Zest had some really good placements in tournaments, but, In all those tournaments he placed highly in, he didn't fight many terrans. He beat YoDa (3-0), Polt (2-1) and Bunny (2-0). If we discount IEM Toronto, the only terran he beat was skyhigh, in a best of 1. He lost all other matches against Terrans.

However, He is still doing ok-ish. vs Z though. He should beat Hydra if he brings his A-game. If he faces Innovation in the ro.8, he's out. If Life, still out.

PvT has always been his worst, yeah, so even on his A-game INnoVation would kick Zest straight out. Against Life he has a very small chance of making it, but it's Life, so meh. Zest will very likely drop out in the Ro8. And even if he reached the Grand Finals, which is very unlikely, half of the other bracket consists of Terrans.

PvP always makes for the least disappointing finals, because everyone is ready to be disappointed. While a TvZ finals, for example, has tons of hype around it, and in the end even if there are quality games it will never live up to the hype.
(nah the truth is that I want Trap to win this a la sOs. JAGW darkhorse best darkhorse)

ok, if this happens I'm on the Sackofwetmice train

What, saying Zest is a patchtoss which makes no sense at all?


I mean that in a slight tongue in cheek way.

I am going to seriously reevaluate how I view Zest though. He's not a patchtoss, but his position as a top-tier Protoss and player is rapidly dropping and a loss to Hydra would be the tipping point given the prestige of the event.

Zest should bring his A-game

So did I. Nobody in their right mind would think Zest is a patchtoss (it can even be disproven on a factual basis). And I really want Zest to do well, so I hope he prepared well, he had quite a bit of time. If he brings his A game though, he's the only player on his side of the bracket who I definitely see beating herO <.< (Life & INno are more like even matches for herO, not sure about Bbyong as they are teammates).

Well, since the last patch, Zest had some really good placements in tournaments, but, In all those tournaments he placed highly in, he didn't fight many terrans. He beat YoDa (3-0), Polt (2-1) and Bunny (2-0). If we discount IEM Toronto, the only terran he beat was skyhigh, in a best of 1. He lost all other matches against Terrans.

However, He is still doing ok-ish. vs Z though. He should beat Hydra if he brings his A-game. If he faces Innovation in the ro.8, he's out. If Life, still out.

PvT has always been his worst, yeah, so even on his A-game INnoVation would kick Zest straight out. Against Life he has a very small chance of making it, but it's Life, so meh. Zest will very likely drop out in the Ro8. And even if he reached the Grand Finals, which is very unlikely, half of the other bracket consists of Terrans.

It will probably be Maru in the finals...
I'm hoping for a Maru vs. Life finals, but Innovation will do if Life doesn't make it. I just don't want herO to win lol

herO vs Trap finals plz

Are you for real?
PvP finals?
Does anybody ever want that?
that (P)Trap though...

Can't be worse than ZvZ finals...

PvP always makes for the least disappointing finals, because everyone is ready to be disappointed. While a TvZ finals, for example, has tons of hype around it, and in the end even if there are quality games it will never live up to the hype.
(nah the truth is that I want Trap to win this a la sOs. JAGW darkhorse best darkhorse)

The last IEM had Life vs. Maru, it was a very good finals...
But I can see where you are coming from.

Anyway, when it comes to PvP finals I always think of herO vs sOs last year.

It's just that I was hyped all day for seeing the (at the time) two best protosses fight each other in a best-of-7, that I was very disappointed.
When it comes to psychological dismemberment, I prefer to think of Jaedong vs. sOs. It was that, but also had some great macro-games.

Is there a reason why we didn't get liquibet for this?

Probably the short time between th rounds; Most LB's are up for a few days before the match and this isn't possible, when there are matches dependent on results a day earlier. I guess you could have LB up just for the first round, but that would be a bit weird as well.
