b-but this is not as horrible as bl-infestor! http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Premier_Tournaments .. see? It was way worse before and protoss is even underpowered I might say now.

That is true, those games were just painful to watch

Zest played like a God. So many comebacks and perfect plays.

After the Game 4 comeback, I knew it was Zest's title to take. Way too much of a momentum shift of going 2-2 instead of falling into 1-3.

I take it that the people already bitching in this thread about Protoss and balance didn't actually watch any of the games because they were all close and evenly matched. "Imbalance" had nothing to do with this win for Zest.

But, it's impossible to reason with people who will whine no matter what.

After seing the comeback on Yoensu, I thought a bigger comeback couldn't happen this series. I stopped watching during Alterzim Stronghold, when soO had 6k/5k +25 food lead... How the hell did Zest come back from that?!... What the actual phuck..

soO was way too cocky in all games. This series gonna haunt him for the rest of his life.

Not even death can save you from me.

I'm pretty sure that people are upset that of the last 10 finalists in premier tournaments, 8 have been protoss, one terran and one zerg.

I only watched games 2 - 6, but I have to say that Soo threw those games so hard. Like when he had 10k/8k in the bank and made Ultra/BroodLord and he DIDN'T do anything with them... Honestly, it feels extremely fishy to me. Anyway, gratz Zest

haha, I'm surprised there aren't more zerg players in here announcing their retirements.

It was all the finals I could ask for. Both players pulled great comebacks. I feel Soo could have won if he had been more decisive, but he wasn't suffering from indecision when he attacked Zest with roach hydra ling after faking a muta switch in the last game. The move didn't work, but I loved it.

The prize pool is seriously fucked over there. With Zest taking home 5x more money, it might as well have been winner takes all. And then we wonder why all the Koreans are bailing hard on the KR region...

The one game where Zest basically just FF off the ramp of soO's main and he literally couldn't do anything about it. It's shit like that that makes people frustrated with this game. And I play Protoss. In a series as close as this one, a player armed with basically a free pass to wipe out the other players main and all the tech in it has such a massive advantage it's ridiculous. I'm not surprised Zest won, but I felt soO was playing the best SC2 of his life this Code S season and he put up an amazing fight making it 3-4, although there were mistakes on both sides, the Power of Protoss prevails. So how many major tournaments has it been so far in 2014 that Protoss has won? All of them?

if it was bo3 or bo5, soO would have won :o

I wanted a zerg to win u.u but still, the champion is the player I tought would win between these two. Those games were pretty good.

I watched the event live at the gom studios last night and it was truly a dream come true for me. I got my skt jersey signed by Rain and Dark and cheered on soO at every chance. The studio was absolutely packed with nerds, even until the end when they were giving away diablo collectors boxes. soO put on a true display of heart and skill and came within inches of beating Zest multiple times in the final two games. It was a tough loss, and soO looked devasted after the match but he surprised even his toughest critics and won fans along the way. soO fiiightinggg! SKT fiightingg!!

Good finals to watch, shame for soO coming so close but still losing, twice now.

Happy for Zest though, he seems like a true killer and it strengthens this KT v SKT rivalry a bit ^_^

Also Flash got to stand on the GSL Finals stage!
