Last season he didn't lose a single map vs protoss in Code S, even 4-0ing Dear. Today he just played poorly with the same build every time, it's like he didn't prepare at all. Probably slumped down because of Taeja knocking him out of GSL. In 2014 Zest was probably the best player in the world until he was eliminated from Blizzcon and he just slumped down from there. | ||

On the back of his performances in Korean leagues. Wow. | ||

Not really, he was looking strong through the groups so far. He started playing really badly when he lost that one game to Ryung and it cost him the tourney. | ||

It's like the same when he lost to Life a couple years ago after everyone saying he's gonna take Blizzcon, the next 6 months was just bad play. I mean you really can't compare what he did in season 1 when he just looked unstoppable, now his momentum is crushed and he's playing like he doesn't even care. Like opening double oracle and getting now damage done every time. | ||

I think he only really started slumping in 2015. | ||

Actually I looked back at the matches and I think zest was slumping. That or zest was always bad at PvT at HotS. He prepared well, but did not seem to be on top of the games that he was not prepared | ||

Yes, the better player won - in what looks like a fight where both fighters'' hands are tied behind their backs. First game excepting Patience played significantly better to the where if the tags were reversed people would be going on about how Zest is back in form | ||
