Doesn't change the fact that Scarlett beating Zest to qualify (although I don't know how horrible Zest may have played) isn't a walkover for instance, and that I'll be elated to see Elazer (and the others) against top notch Koreans in GSL format. | ||

Zest may as well count as a walkover for most players  | ||

And the viewership sunk anyway since the hard region lock, they can't use that excuse anymore: the scene isn't growing anyway, overall. | ||

And Zest isn't really top tier atm. | ||
