Mostly agree, but Zest hasn't (and neither has Stats) figured out Maru, whereas herO goes even with Maru.

Yet his understanding of the match-up is plainly superior

Ah ok. I guess you originally meant that Zest has bad understanding of the MU but decent results then?

Did you know that herO has a nearly 71% PvZ all-time winrate? Ridiculous.

Slightly, if at all. A lot of stuff protoss players are doing in PvT right now was pioneered by Zest.
Anyway, my original point still stands: Zest is far far better vs terran than people give him credit for.

Yeah, and Zest's understanding of PvT is very good. His winrates don't show it.
Nope, it's not good at all. I care little about winrates, most of the time they darken the picture. Zest losing to TANGTANG was probably more telling, too bad we don't have the games to confirm

Has got to be tough to play 2 series with 8 hours downtime inbetween.

I bet TANGTANG didn't play a single straight-up game.

More like, if you were to draw a line representing the average of his three match-ups, PvT would be below that line

I don't think a match we haven't seen is more telling than his wins against Innovation, Bbyong and others as well as close games against Maru and Fantasy, in which he looked good, if undecisive at times.

Losing to one very weak player is enough to confirm you as bad at a MU?

Well yeah for sure, but there has to be something below the average line or else it's not average anymore, right?^^

Above all I bet TANGTANG would not be able to do that vs PartinG or herO

His 2 other MUs are very far above average and his PvT still isn't below average. So he's fine.

Yeah, but in this case the contrast is sharp. Just like it would be for Dream, for instance. Compare his TvT with his TvZ and TvP
