Joo “Zest” Sung-wook’s never-ending farewell tour continues on Thursday when he enters the semi-finals of 2022 AfreecaTV GSL Super Tournament 1, following two close calls against Kim “Classic” Doh-woo (3-2) and Lee “Bunny” Jae-seon (3-2). <\/p>\n

For the past few months, Zest’s matches hinged on what version of Zest shows up \u2013 going from reaching the finals of IEM Katowice 2021 to getting eliminated from Code-A. Although Zest has been stabilising in recent weeks, it’s fair to feel scared for him for this match.<\/p>\n

Cho “Maru” Seong-ju, who has historically struggled against Protoss, has improved his TvP matchup numbers to an impressive 82.14% win rate across the last 28 outings (23-5). However, Maru wasn’t convincing on Monday and had to dig deep to defeat Kim “herO” Joon-ho (3-2).<\/p>\n

So while Maru has looked much better this tournament and should win, we have to take a shot with Zest to keep it close and force another five-map series.<\/p>\n

DARK vs ZOUN SCII BETTING & MATCH DETAILS<\/h2>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

SCII Betting Odds:<\/td>\nDark -434.78 at BetOnline<\/a> | Zoun +248 at BetOnline<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
When:<\/td>\nJanuary 27, 2022 at 18:30 KST<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Watch Live:<\/td>\nYouTube, AfreecaTV<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Park “Dark” Ryung-woo proved just how efficient he is in Zerg vs Terran matchups on Monday when he swept Byun “ByuN” Hyun-woo and improved his ZvT record to a 75% win rate (48-16). Now, he’s set to clash with a Protoss player in Park “Zoun” Han-sol, for the first time since December, when Dark won 3-1.<\/p>\n

It marked Dark’s fourth consecutive win against the 24-year-old, and according to the latest StarCraft II betting odds, the current no.4 in the Korean ESL Pro Tour standings should add another win to his tally. Priced at $1.23, Dark’s implied probability of winning this match is at 81.3%, which seems a bit low, but it’s a fair figure.<\/p>\n

Zoun has looked good across the first two tournament rounds, but he’s terrible against Terran (10-15). So even though Zoun has been consistently a clutch player in important games, he is a clear outsider to defeat Dark on Thursday.<\/p>\n
