Damn, i really thought there will be one :D
IIRC there was a promise we get a power rank every other month or so, what happened? ^^
I mean i get that sometimes it just doesn't work out, but at least for me power rankings are one of the most exciting content here on TL :D

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.

LOL, just saying, Zest has a winning record against INnovation:
http://aligulac.com/results/search/?search=&after=&before=&players=Zest 1658
INnoVation 48&event=&bestof=all&offline=both&game=all&op=

That's all pre-patch though. He killed most terrans pre-patch. Post-patch, he played like shit vT.
This time, he would just loose straight up.


By "played like shit" you mean "had trouble with the matchup", just like every other protoss did for a while, right?
You know that kind of thing happens if you get massively nerfed, maps are massively changed in favor of the other race and a widow mine buff removes about half your viable playstyles.

If we listen to some people Zest is literally Zoun in terms of skill but got lucky enough to win Code S, make the Ro8 twice, win two other Korean Premier and be second at one of the most stacked IEM of the year. It's slightly annoying, I don't recall any player getting that much hate except FlaSh and JaeDong >.>

I'm not a hater, Zest is one of my favourite players, at least my favourite protoss. But still, a slump is a slump.

I was more talking about the general attitude towards Zest than about you specifically. Just look at a PL match LR thread when he loses >.>

You know what they should do for bonus hype? Introduce all the players to a theme song of their choosing. Like in wrestling or boxing. Introducing Flash to Immediate Music's Electric Romeo would certainly get the fans to be loud <.<
