Maru saw no nexus. Why move out? overly confident? That's not confidence, it simply isn't smart. I mean, what followups could Zest realistically try with no nexus and no other tech in his base? Continued oracle production -> 3gate all in, blink all in, Dark Shrine proxy, Tempests. Moving out is not a smart choice against any of these.
proxy collossus!

To me it seemed like to his information there could be either macro play behind the oracle or this blink follow up. Did he really have the information to decide? I don't think so. If it hadn't been more aggression his moves would have been fine I think. And usually people don't follow up aggression with even more aggression. This isn't supposed to be a game of rolling dice.

I liked it me too, has to be something keeping terran honest from just macroing up to a laZboy scv pull I rather give the other races the same cheesy all-in options, when two players do polar opposite cheeses it produces the most spontaneous and interesting games. taeja proxy reaper vs life proxy hatch. never forget.
That was the best game of Starcraft 2 ever played. Period.

I love Zest's pylon positioning. It's SO SMART

I agree with DLO here. Moving out was the worst possible thing Maru could do

Zest is playing pretty well, you can tell he has worked hard for that PvT.

Yeah, Zest made it standard. Saw it first vs Maru in an ace match about a month ago
