Zest doesn't get enough credit for that game, he played that amazingly. I'd say this was more a comeback than a throw.

yep, i disagree it was a throw after roach/ling all in soo had 34 lings, ~20 drones, queen and little larva. zest was still on 2 bases with 23 probes that's almost even

yes but in a time of forge fast expands and mothership cores you have to consider how incredilby delayed actual protoss tech is if you suffer any early losses. you almost exclusively built sentries at the start of which he also lost 2 and his twilight goes down 9 minutes into the game. there were no adepts in hots, Zest doesnt have a robo for a prism, no stargate, literally no way to get out on the map until his dark shrine finishes 4 minutes after soO's attack ended. thats 4 minutes of pure droning for soO.
you can really see it in the later attacks described in the article how bad this early game actually was for Zest. it was 100% a huge throw by soO. Zest did the best he could after the disastrous start, but even playing perfectly from that point onward he had no business winning that game.
