whatever you call a GSL or not, INno = goat and Zest is top 10 at best

Pretty sure Go4sc2 is a premier event so Nerchio would be the all time GOAT
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

Holy shit, Gumiho lost to Zest?

I just got here and didn't bother to check the bracket because I assumed Gumiho won for sure.

*checks liquipedia*
My god, it's true!

why is this surprising

I'm not a huge fan of Gumiho, so I didn't assume he was invincible or anything. In fact, I think he's pretty inconsistent.

But still, the GSL champion losing to a guy who failed to qualify is....unexpected to say the least. Even with his inconsistency his skill floor should be above Zest. And Gumiho said himself that TvP is his best MU.


Zest played quite well though. Everyone knows Zest has the potential to beat GuMiho, and anyone else in the world. I find that reaction hard to justify just because he's done poorly for a while. People practice and improve, and in this case you're talking about a 3x GSL champion.

He hasn't beaten a good player in an offline match the entire year.

That doesn't refute a single point he made...

I have to agree. You can say Zest won 3 GSLs and it be true. But it's just misleading, because GSL has different levels of tournaments. Saying someone won GSL normally refers to Code S

So yeah Zest won 2 Code S's
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

vs soO, vs TY, and ?

And the liberal interpretation of his GSL cup vs PartinG


It isn't liberal considering people count 4 GSLs for Mvp and 3 for Life.

Which is wrong. The GSL World Championship (that Mvp won) is LITERALLY the WoL version of GSL vs the World.

It is not a Code S by any stretch of the imagination and claiming otherwise is simply delusion.


And yet it's how the community counts it. Same with Life's Blizzard Cup. So gotta stay consistent.

Denial of evolutionary biology is also popular and consistent. Doesn't make it correct.


That's a stupid argument. One is a denial of proven facts, the other is you pushing your criteria down others' throats.


Please, tell me how a 32-player tournament played over the course of multiple months is functionally or in any other way identical to a 16-player (or less!) weekender.

Proven facts.


It was a GSL tournament, there are arguments to be made for calling it a GSL. You don't decide what a GSL is. The GSL does, and they counted Mvp's GC as one - thus the G5L trophy. I don't personally care either way, but I'm staying consistent with the way the community has always counted.

"Proven facts".


It had a three-letter acronym tacked onto the name, and nothing else. Neither of us decide what are the facts. Facts are facts by virtue of being true. That is why they are the facts. And 32 is not equal to 16, any more than three month equals three days. Those are the facts.


And I never said it was. You've done nothing but argue a strawman this entire time. You've ignored everything I've said. So I'm just gonna go ahead and ignore you now.

The fact that you get this obnoxious over a number really says it all.

Nobody denies that Zest has the potential. He simply has not shown any sign of using that potential for all of 2017. Until now, at least.

It shows why it's surprising to see him beat Gumiho despite we are all knowing he has the potential.

It is extremely interesting that a Kong curse carries over to foreign premiers(IEM, DH), but its full effect in Korean addition still allows you to win special events in SK (Kespa Cup).
