The question isn't if Zest will win (of course he will.) The question is how long before he fades away after getting hot for a moment like so many other GSL champions. Can he stay at the top for a whole year (virtually unheard of lately) or will his demotion to Code A/B be swift and immediate (a la the jjakji's, Sniper's, Seed's and Roro's)?

Whoa, sick writeup! There are actually so many different things going on with these two players that you point out, royal roader vs. ultra-rare two-time-consecutive finalist, SKT vs. KT, SKT Zerg vs. Flash successor. Way cool, and the casters haven't talked about any of it. Thanks for making me care about this finals guys.

I haven't seen much Proleague. Are there some obvious days/matches to watch if I wanna brush up on my Zest?

CJ herO for Protoss President 2014 imo but I'm happy for Zest to take Vice President I think he'd be awesome if something happens to the smiling commander in chief.

GO ZEST!!

My left ventricle says Protoss, but my right one says SKT.

What to do?! 어떻게?!

EDIT: Ok, the background info in the OP has swayed me. This feels a little weird, but I will be cheering hard for the Zerg to take down the Protoss! soO fighting!

Story of the Tournament

Winner: soO’s Royal Road Run
Runner Up: None


When asked to think of the best example of the underdog who overcame the odds, the hero everyone rooted for but no one thought could go the distance, there’s only one player that comes to mind for StarCraft fans around the world, and that player is soO. No player captured the hearts and minds of players quite like soO did in his inspirational Royal Road run. Given his consistently awe-inspiring play, it’s not hard to understand how he became everyone's underdog favorite. soO quickly became a hero for Zerg and SKT fans alike, two fan bases tragically deprived of top players to rally around these days. After a hard-fought and completely deserved victory over Killer in the quarterfinals in spite of every disadvantage KeSPA could throw at him, soO’s courageous fight against the odds sadly ended in just three quick games in the semi-finals. It was a day of mourning for the fans, for Bunkie, and for StarCraft. soO fought as hard as he could for the future of ESPORTS, but the cards were stacked against him from the start. I guess theres just no more room for miracles in Brood War anymore.

Great write-up Waxangel.

I think I may actually sidestep my race loyalty and go for soO! The man is one solid SC2 player.

Also, SKT deserves some good times after their recent horror run.

SoO 4 - 2.

Does Zest float minerals on purpose? To delaying making units as late as possible to make the best possible decision. He floats a lot with gateways on cd, although he constantly produces tiered units.

(Z)soO will win the GSL 4-2. He has the best Zerg advise from (Z)Soulkey and monster practice partners in (P)Rain and (P)PartinG and (P)Classic.GSL caster Wolf predicted that sOo wins and he is free from Artosis course now since Wolf predicted first.LOL.And he should remember that SKT [image loading] is still the best [image loading].
