Saying that as if Dream isn't s class tvp :D You should mention Prime instead.
No of course TY and Dream have excellent TvP, but what I mean is that the fact Zest beat Maru doesn't mean we can assume he's solved his recurrent vT problems.
Honestly, I think Zest's biggest issues in TvP are that he flips the coin too much sometimes and sloppiness in defending (mine) drops (I think that cost him 2 or 3 Proleague games against Maru).

I have to take issue with your use of the word "slump": here. sure Maru didn't look that great today but you can't expect players to win every match they play.
even at their peak in broodwar guys like Flash and Bisu only had like 60 - 70% winrates in their best matchups, and if anything SC2 is a more volatile game so I don't think you should read too much into a few poor results.
Kinda expected this... Maru has huge shoulder and wrist issues. And its only getting worse. On a normal day he would never lose a TvT vs Dream that easily and would never go mech in TvT like vs Bravo. Even today he held back a lot, in a normal condition he would wreck Zests Collosi way sooner and not drag the game out and go to Vikings. He just feels his reactions and micro are not that great right now so is afraid to play Maru like and just buldoze the midgame.
A shame really... hope he gets soon better. Its tough seeying him suffer at such young age and I miss the pure Maru style.

At least one KT player advanced. Shame about Byul playing so excellently today. Zest + Maru would've been ideal, but still, there were some great games today.

I kinda feel that from all top4 WCS pointers (herO, Life, Maru, Parting). I don't think they are giving it all in these tournaments.
Cause they already made it to Blizzcon? I always thought koreans think korean tournaments > everything else. But Blizzcon is basically a korean tournament, hehe

The prizepool for BlizzCon is way higher than what GSL/SSL can offer though, that's something
EPT
