In LotV, TY is 37–35 (51.39%) in games and 9–11 (45.00%) in matches against Zest.

As a devoted Serral fanboi, I must note that it cannot be "50%" for Serral anymore considering the probability of making such streak when tossing a coin.

His consistency is insane, and that applies also games against Koreans over long time period (since Feb 2018) as its not like he would've been losing games or matches for making it easy for them. Even when swept it has not been like ANY Koreans would've been SO much better.

GSL this and GSL that, enough Koreans have tested Serral for them ALL knowing he isn't just a random "Foreigner". I find it difficult to understand why people put Serral and his achievements down, when its clear that there are no Koreans who would do that.

...

Wow you don't watch much Starcraft, do you?


No I guess I'm just not impressed with heavy mid-game timings and wonky all-ins.

Not to say he's not awesome. He's great. I've just never had that completely awestruck moment like I have with many other players at their peaks.

Considering how ... questionable TY played in that BO5 meaybe Zest would be a better choice to see something not so... uh... :z

Of course. Zest is going to take the entire thing.


In that case, the only frasible explanation would be that he just decided it's not worth practicing for and basically un-retired in the process of the tournament. Because his games at the start were really bad.

He's the only player who gets better by drinking lots of alcohol, clearly.

Obviously the only explanation is that he gets better the drunker he gets

Stats tried to emulate his style, but sadly it doesn't work the same way for him.

Since soO won IEM, he just disappoints me with his performance. Sloppy and ridiculous. His decision making is the worst. His brain just lived to win something and now he did it, it just died. I guess thank God he won IEM because he is never gonna make to another final ever again.

Dark, Rogue, soO are like the only relevant Korean Zergs. He's still in 3rd

I wasn't impressed by IEM. His only good match was vs Serral and all the others were utterly terrible.

Impact's been better than Rogue these days.

Also Zest's skill level is truly a "Where did you come from, where did you go, where did you come from Cotton Eye Joe?" mystery.

There are thousands but .... isn't he a staple top?

I can't imagine people regarding that as anything but an achievement in and of itself. To be known as good at video games in korea .... that is like being the top writer from the Iowa Writers Workshop. That is a legit elite hierarchy.
