Zest was about to crush Hydra with 33 or so blink stalkers but Hydra got vipers and he landed a clutch blinding cloud, guaranteeing the death of a ton of stalkers.

Hydra pushed with his roach/viper/SH and was pushed back by Zest's defense. There was a glorious moment where all of the swarm hosts remained burrowed as Zest pushed Hydra back and Zest killed all of them, but it was short-lived. Hydra pushed again with 4 Vipers, roaches and Hydra's and Zest couldn't handle the sheer number of blinding clouds and abducts.

Zest tapped out shortly after.

The funniest part about this is that the last balance change was back in July, when Rain and Zest were still on top of the world and very real tournament contenders for a while. They've gradually worsened over time, while Fantasy/Hydra improved over time. Back in 2014, I would also be way more surprised if Dark beat Taeja, but now Dark plays way better in general.

Dark > Taeja (this is such a toss up... who the fuck knows? I picked Dark thinking Taeja likely won't be in his best form)



I don't blame anyone for picking Rain over Fantasy or Life over Innovation or especially Taeja over dark, but I can't believe that so many think Zest will beat Hydra. I think that's very foolish and people are stuck in the past when Zest was arguably the best toss in the world.

Zest threw away a bunch of units including colossi to swarm hosts. Hydra threw away a bunch of swarm hosts. Then Hydra attacked with mass hydra against colossi and storms and won.

That doesn't even make sense, ROFL. I have to watch that I guess.

watch it, it was great (if you are a zerg)
Hydra running strategic circles around Zest. Countering a 3base 10gate blink with a roach/swarm Host defense, countering the double robo colossus transition with mutalisks which forced a second stargate+fleet bacon and delayed Colossus production. Then followed up with a massive hydra/swarm host+viper attack when Zest was all over the place with his tech without templar and only 3Colossi. Did a lot of damage, took some damage from a zealot runby but his follow up roach/hydra/viper attack sealed the deal.

Yeah but unlike those two hydra is actually a REAL human being and playing one of the best SC2 of the world.

Come on, prove me that I'm wrong, since even Flash won more in sc2 than Fantasy.


Aren't you the Guy who said that the tourney for you is over and that you are going to watch CS:GO after Rain got crushed?
Calling Fantasy a mediocre player in his current shape is funny and really underlines the comment you made earlier.

Hmm? Fantasy 3-0'd Rain, Dark 3-1'd Taeja and Hydra is about to go 3-0 over Zest in a moment.
