What allegations?


That he is too good looking to be real, maybe?

Definitely an all-time classic series!! Zest was able to snap Rogue's insane streak and reach a GSL finals before eventual SC2 retirement/military.

To me Zest vs. Rogue seemed like a de facto GSL finals for sure. Up next is Cure vs. Trap in the other semifinal.

I am waiting for the "winning the last offline match before retirement" to mess with the Unoffial WC title. It will be Bear 2.0.

Zest bringing the builds and playing brillantly... nothing less would've defeated Rugue.
I hope he wins this GSL, becoming the Protoss GOAT in his last match. Beautiful history.

I certainly didn't expect this outcome.

Now I'm rooting for Zest. I'm not a fan of Cure either, but I just want Trap to lose. He is the most boringest player of all time.

was there a semifinal or final that ended 4-0 in kr?
I find it hard to believe that everything is 3-2, 4-3 etc.

Isn't that outdated though? I highly doubt Zest is matchfixing

Isnt that just Zest being Zest? He is always capable of losing 0-3 and winning 3-0 to the same opponent in 24hrs?

Of course it is. Just look at who's kicked him out of the last ESL open cup. Admittedly he was probably playing drunk after his GSL win, but even so.
Omit needles swords.

Everyone who follows Zest knows that sometimes he just plays weird and off or makes strange choices. Those matches were not unusual at all Especially when he's a guy who plays hundreds of online and insignificant matches every year and experiments around with different styles more than any other protoss.

He was favoured to win and rightfully so, but for the first two games, Zest basically played with only 2 gases, building up a Gateway army against Terran bio while floating 1K minerals.

Yeah and this turned out to be how Zest would play PvT going forward. There's nothing wrong with trying out new styles in some random online matches and them not working the first few times.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Wasn't it typical Zest macro to float 1k minerals as well

This has to be one of the greatest bo7 victories of all time.

Zest wasn't just fighting Rogue and matchpoints, he was fighting history. And somehow he managed to find a way out despite looking super dead in both of the last two games.
Don't hate the player, hate the game
