Same guess for me. Gumiho is looking very solid right now so I went with my head on this one. My heart would really love to see MC advance though. So sad two of these players have to lose in the round of 32. I would love to see all of them in the round of 8 (maybe not gumiho), but we can't always get what we want. Solar and MC have great personality so I love to see them in social gatherings like round of 16 group selection. Oh well.

"I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that no player has ever dominated a matchup as hard before as Zest is currently doing"

I don't know I think Maru TvP domination in HotS was more impressive, as he was the only terran doing well vs protoss at that time, when protoss are doing well vs terran today. However I don't think Maru TvP looked as one sided as Zest PvT.

Ok for Parting PvT and maybe early Nestea ZvZ but the rest wasn't what I would call "domination".

Not even the first six times they met which led to San having a 10-0 record vs life?

Look at those aligulac stats - San stomped him twice in that timeframe.
Furthermore, I consider that some kind of Code A must be reestablished.

Can't believe neither of you mentioned The Machine's HotS TvZ up until the widow mine nerf.

Look at that

Not to mention the manner in which his dominance was carried out. He wasn't really ahead of the curve or exploiting one or two weaknesses of Zerg better than other players, but rather his play was very standard. He did what other Terrans did but with much better mechanical skill. It just had somewhat of an inevitability to it. It was a death sentence for the Zerg if he managed to safetly get 3 CCs down.

Only Soulkey (in a bo1), DRG (bo3), and Curious (bo3) managed to beat him at his own macro game during those months.

Pretty sure Soulkey beat him in a bo7 and it was glorious.

My bad ^^ San was a beast, but I feel a lot of the players he beat weren't "that strong".

Innovation TvZ was GODLIKE.

But hey Maru TvP : http://aligulac.com/players/49/results/?after=2015-03-05&before=2015-07-04&event=&race=p&country=all&bestof=all&offline=both&game=all&wcs_season=&wcs_tier=&op=

The only two Protoss players in history to ever win two GSL championships meet in the first match of a new Code S season? That's cool, no matter how you look at it. And with Zest dropping maps in recent weeks, some of which have been PvPs, there's a possibility for a real upset to start the new season.



There were more protosses... i.e. Rain
