only 149 more hsc Titles to go and zest will tie taeja

I agree that this win doesn't prove at all that he's back at his old form.
But I think it's safe to say that he has improved tremendously after being in the lowest low possible (going 1-8 in SSL, losing to TIME and Scarlett in gsl qualifiers)
Ofc it's a shame that this happens at a point where he doesn't have any meaningful tournaments to play in anymore except the GSL ST.
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment

It surely is the most enjoyable thing to ever watch in SC2, but as a weekender with a whole three Koreans, with the additional possibility of any player being drunk or at least hungover, it really isn't about results too much.

Zest played very well - with inconsistency though - over the tournament.


If someone had shown me his matches against HeRoMaRiNe and hid the names I never would have guessed that was supposed to be a high ranking Korean Protoss...

I've always loved Wooki but yeah even judging solely on the matches of his that I watched at this tournament, it's ridiculous that he even made it to the finals. The series against ByuN wasn't bad though, and I'm told the one vs GuMiHo was also good.


Zest played upto his opponents. His games against Heromarine and Elazer were pretty bad. But some of the maps against ByuN looked close to the perfect games old Zest was known for. It's not the first time he's done it in a tournament. At Katowice 2015 he was losing to guys like Hydra near the start, but when he reached the finals he crushed it

No one is saying Zest is back in peak form. idk where people are getting that from
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Zest is back in top form, clearly now that he is better than byun and gumiho. He will begin to dominate sc2 like it's 2015 again. Glad this tournament proved he is still the best and will never be kept down.

The elitism of this forum and is posters leaves a lot to be desired. Zest played well and he beat 2 of the top 4 Korean Terrans to win it. If people rate Zest as Code B or a shit player what does that make the the top foreigners whom participated, as they were raped by the Koreans

It's ridiculous that some people say "Zest is back" or "his slump has ended". Even though he won HSC (weekend tournament with none of the tier-1 players besides Gumiho) , he is still far from his peak form considered his performance in Korea is very poor. However it's good to see he's getting back on track.

Zest is Best.
At least that is what they all said at the end and were shouting it.

I am glad that zest is finally performing to his levels. And I wholeheartedly comgratulate any zest fans for sticking with him. Now leave me alone while I plan sOs' road for blizzcon 2017 and winning a 700k and become the first sc2 winning millionaire.

No matter what anyone says its clear Zests PvT is world class, as for the other matchups they are weaker but how much, who knows. Was great matches to watch either way, still really sad Serral went out before he got to face a korean.

You are such a turd nose snotter. Any fan of Zest will be happy he won and get excited because he IS not performing at his best recently but now you want to piss on that parade because you are what, SALTY? or just an asshole in general? go back to playing tetris you jerk. If you cannot take a loss you don't deserve to be able to comment on a loss and if you are just an asshole you should just leave because nobody likes a salty asshole jerk nose "bloed poes".

PS. I just created this account so you can hear what a jerk you are. ban me/remove the comment if you want too TL, I don't mind, but please wait for while so this jerk can know he is a butt breath

I don't think the prize pool is enough to justify it

He demonstrated it. But unless he maintains the level he showed vs ByuN I'm not saying he's a king again. Although he did kingslay gumiho
