2018 GSL Code S: Season 2

(P)Zest has claimed the first spot in the GSL Code S Grand Finals of Season 2, defeating his former KT Rolster teammate (T)TY in a very tight 4-3 series. Early advantages were a key theme in the series, with both players pulling out some dirty cheese—Zest proxied a stargate in TY's natural, the Terran returned the favor with a marauder/cyclone proxy. Zest eventually caught TY out of position on Darkness Sanctuary to snipe his opponent's third base and secure his spot in the finals by deflecting TY's last ditch attack.


.

GSL Code S continues on Saturday, Jun 16 3:30am GMT (GMT+00:00) with the second semifinal between (T)Maru and (P)Classic.

You'd think Classic would win against Maru seeing as he is the 'best' PvT player. But Classic normally tends to choke and drop out in the ro4s.

Last time he met Maru in a GSL semifinal he won convincingly.

Before Ro8 started, I suspected that Zest could surprise most of the watchers and analyzers despite his not so convincing start in Code S, just like I predicted with Innovation last year. I guess that's the reason they are almost living legends (Bogus for sure) and Zest has finally the chance to step on the top of Olympus all along with Mvp, Nestea and Inno like the first protoss along the most successful pro-s. Such players can produce a bad start sometimes but when they smell that the trophy is so close, they instantly change significantly and become total predators until they reach their goal. Zest, Dear, TY - I don't make difference in their talent, al along with Rogue, Dark, Classic and other big stars today - but only SOME OF THEM posses the champ psychology.
I'm sorry for TY. Like the last time against Gumiho, TY showed his natural extraordinary talent which help him to reach the semifinal. But other players showed better awareness on the new maps. Definitely TY is the only semifinalist from the rest of three, who did not scouted well when he was supposed to do and the positioning of his units could cost some matches.

Anyway, gogo Classic!

Mostly against zergs, especially Dark. That ship has sailed.

Maybe, but Maru literally has the record for most ro4 losses (I think he does anyway).
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

people always talk about Classics PvT but they rarely mention at the same time that Maru is probably the best TvP in the world too. He's number 1 on Aligulac, if he's not the best he's surely in the top couple. It doesn't seem to have the same hype as Maru vs Rogue but it's still a battle of two who are about the very best at what they do.
