The hallucinated colossus mindgame was truly next level. Zest knew that Serral would figure out that it was a fake. Because he had denied all of Serral's scouting information with his phoenix play, and because of how this map is laid out, the only scouting information Serral was able to get was from the robo at the front. You can see him checking to see if its cronoboosting or not and checking to see what comes out. Serral sees colossus (indicates late game), figures out it's a fake (indicates a bluff for space, ie tech development), and then gets blindsided by an attack that doesn't rely on robo at all. Pretty masterful work by zest, he deserves the win

Well one thing I love is people outside Korea are doing so well..... this helps starcraft grow ..... great match well done zest .... amazing serral

I like Zest as interesting toss. I also really like Serral as amaizing zerg. It does not matter for me who wins. It is a great battle!

After saying your "UNBEATABLE" & the best in the world in an interview during this tournament, I'm glad serral lost. Even though I'm a fan & would like to see him in the gsl. Zest was on fire up to this point & it showed.

He had an equal economy, there were roughly on the same footing, Zest lost almost all his expensive units which is much harder to recover from as a toss. I think Serral is uncomfortable playing unless he has built up an advantage - he is so used to dominating that he cant scrap out wins from behind.

@WatchPripara

4 жыл бұрын

@@faridmk3707 Doesn't look like equal footing to me. At the moment of the GG, Serral was at around 40 army supply while Zest was at 30. The difference is that half of Serral's army supply is on units still in eggs while Zest's entire army supply is already at his front door knocking. Yes, he can probably still clean those immortals up with his ravagers but the reinforcing zealots and the healthy archon make it nearly impossible. If the game went on Zest could and would definitely pull those immortals back until the ravagers are cleaned up and they would have regenerated shields by the time Serral's 20 supply of roaches starts hatching. The 3 ravagers and handful of lings wouldn't stand a chance against that wall of zealots and a healthy archon. Don't let Serral's 43 army supply fool you. Look at the production tab during the moment of the gg and figure out yourself how little Serral actually had at that time. Even pulling all his drones wouldn't have worked because, again, there's a healthy archon he has no answer for.
