Probably because Zest has won more GSL's than the whole JAGW, dunno.


But then how many GSL's have titans Taeja/Leenock/MKP/soO won?

Don't act like the so called "sucess" of maru is even remotely comparable to the countless achievement of the titan leenock.

My guess is because they weren't considered titans in the first place. by "titan" I mean that most people agree they're the #1 player for a long period of time, very dominant, someone you can clearly say it's ahead of the pack (no only among their race).

True. You can't expect them to stay shitty for the rest of LotV just because they were poor in the first 6 months.

Depends on criteria I guess, but I don't think INnoVation has a bigger claim.


Yeah, it's hard to judge. Zest has a shitload of big titles, but Innovation had this incomprehensible aura to him. Heck, I wasn't ever really a big fan of his play and would like to punch his funny face every time he pulled the boys, but if he ever comes back to domination ...

5 titles vs 4 titles, both 2 starleague victories, both proleague monsters. it's extremely close.

I liked your article stuchiu but it's too short

I can't comment on how great Zest is compared to the old greats (pre HotS), but I do feel we're witnessing history nowadays. Seeing your fav player come closer and closer of being one of the greatest, if not the absolute one... What else can I ask for? (well, KT winning Proleague this year would be nice)

also obligatory Zest is best.

Waaait, Zest is losing to Snute, so then Snute is the greatest!

Two fun facts about Zest coming into SC2:
1. He was in every starting line up during the hybrid proleague
2. (P)Lizzy along with (Z)Acacia were brought onto KT as secret weapons to help take free wins in the SC2 category. Many people were upset KT bought players for SC2 only in the hybrid proleague. It actually backfired on them. Both players were forced to alternate between Brood War and SC2 where they never won a Brood War game and in fact were god awful at the game. KT realizing this eventually just zoned them out of the lineup and both failed to achieve anything in SC2.

Of course, sOs is the Titan king himself, let us hope, Stuchiu will write a nice article about him soon. In the worst case, sOs will need to show his greatness again and stomp Zest in both SSL and GSL. Then, hopefully, Stuchiu will have to write an article about him :-)

Well I guess it's good for Zest sOs can only beat him in Proleague. Besides, you don't need an article to know sOs is one of the greatest of all time. Didn't need one for Zest either.

Proleague best league. It's about time JIN AIR GREEN KONGS won something, even if it isn't a grand finals.

edit: Zest is probably better than $O$ in anything that's not a $100,000 tournament.

I honestly think it is far too much at this point to say Zest is the best player ever, and only player contending for that spot still active.

herO was the best protoss by a country mile in HOTS for far longer (about 5 ladder seasons) than Zest has been the best Protoss in HOTS/Legacy combined (one season each).

Let's not forget that Innovation, Maru, herO, Dark, sOs, byul are still here, and just because most of them have had a few months of being "lukewarm", Zest had about 2 years of being distinctly average between his GSLs (below Classic, Rain, Stats, SoS and herO in my opinion).

It is indisputable that Zest is the best player right now, and a contender for best player ever. But in my opinion that doesn't warrant this article's level of hyperbole, and I think you have seriously overlooked other players contention for that title, by narrowing your vision to the state of play "right now".

My personal prediction is that Innovation will gradually creep up to the top again, because he's all about slowly and inexorably perfecting his play, but isn't very good at changing his style quickly, so hasn't adjusted to LOTV yet.
