I'm not personally a big fan of Zest. But. You have to respect the LEGEND when you see one. Because the semi and then finals were truly legendary. Congrats, maestro.

GSL GONNA BE 🔥 THIS YEAR!

When asked about 5D chess I would refer to the last game of this final. Incredible mind games from both these talents !

Thank you for theses videos, it is amazing to have an English broadcast of these matches

I'm not saying that Maru and Dark didn't prepare for their matches, but Zest REALLY prepared. His build in game 7 was brilliant.

What amazing finals, and what an absolute treat of a game that last one was. Damn, I am so happy for Zest, crushing Maru and defeating Dark which looked unbeatable in all of his other games so far this season, must have felt great.

Maru's defeat has been justified. What an amazing series! 👏🏻👏🏻

Great games from both. Was on the edge of my seat many times.

Thank you Afreeca and Tastosis! Been watching since Season 1 2012!

That was an awesome finals!! Zest totally deserved this. He played such an aggressive strategy in every series. Happy for the Protoss!

Amazing finals!

WE LOVE GSL! Thanks heaps!

Thank u Tastosis for amazing content and thank u Afreeca! Edit: noone can beat sober Zest

You guys are the best casters out there. Out of any esport

Zest last build was fire. But also so refreshing to see microbial shield and mind control defeat a 200/200 sky toss army multiple times. Great play on both sides.

your channel is usually good at not spoiling with the title. was just about to start watching the semi's but now its a little ruined

The riporter was right. Well deserved win. He beat the very best players of every race. Wp Zest

Damn that was a great finals! That last game was such a good one! (Trying not to be too spoilery here but honestly if you don't want to be spoiled, don't look at the comments...). Spoilers after the more! I was rooting for Zest the entire series (though I like both players, it has been more time since Zest last won it). That last game was CLUTCH! I was at the edge of my seat the entire game! Zest brought something new and most importantly, HE WON.

That last game was just beautiful from Zest. Takes gold base. Makes zerg act aggressively. Hard counters aggression by stalling with DTs. Zerg can't break main. Because of the stunning simcity at the gold base, it survives and is perfectly positioned for a rush that takes advantage of the extra minerals. He pretty much set a trap-if Dark had decided to tech along with Zest, it would have been a different story.

Great finals. Thx for the good production and cast as always o7

FINALLY another Protoss win. Being a Toss fan is so hard

All you have to do is put the title as "Finals" without the players names. Pls :/

Exciting series and great show by two elite players. A shocking game 7 strat as well.

YOU HAD ONE JOB.

Sick probe recall. I expect we will see more of that in the future.

I really like commentator Park But man, what a tournament! From game 1 where Bunny eliminated Rouge untill this very final, so many upsets, so many exiting games, this has really shaken up how I’ll see player’s chances when they meet in next tournament.

Spoilers So happy to see a protoss win. The fact that it's zest is awesome as well. I was sad that be beat maru but way to take the tournament.

Spoilers wtf! You put out all 3 videos at once. Block the names of the finalists! Now two of the 3 videos you posted are way less fun to watch.

As a longtime SC2 fan that just fell out of touch with the game and assumed it was dead, I was stunned after watching this. What a final game, unreal how far the meta has evolved.

Dare I have hope for a Code S Protoss champion again? It's been *five years*

Thank you MR kevin for funding GSL for us AND HAWT SHIX too i guess

Absolute Master class performance by the Fifty shades of glaives. So happy for Zest , he deserved it. He played the maps themselves perfectly.

Man Zest is still improving after alk these years. Congrats man!

What a damn series! 10/10

One of the most entertaining and thrilling finals in a long time.

The only thing worse than spoiling the finalist player names on the frickin' thumbnail is showing the champion holding the cup on the frickin' final match's thumbnail. Maybe next season. Seriously though, it can't be that hard to hide the names and faces of the semi-final winners; it's only two matches after all. I clicked on the channel for the semi-finals and booom, there goes the final thumbnail spoiling the outcome of both semi-final matches in an instant. To make things even better, the final match's video has been uploaded before the individual semi-finals! XDDDD Poor micro, guys. Patch this please.

I don’t even play starcraft and I don’t know what’s happening most of the time but I watch it because of the competitiveness.

Was just about to watch the semis, but the thumbnail and the title spoiled everything. Please change title and the thumbnail going forward. Not the first time. Thanks

STOP PUTTING THE PLAYER NAMES IN THE FINAL TITLE AND THUMBNAIL!!!!

Spoiler , , , , I just want to say.....Zest has matured as a player in a very meaningful way. Three years ago, and in my earlier memories of him, he was always Mr. Midgame Timing Attack. Now he's applied his precise mind to macro and Skytoss lategame and is one of the best late game players, while retaining his elite early game, mindgames, and defensive play. And he's still getting better. In my opinion his ceiling is much higher than that of Trap.

God dam that last game!!! The balls of the gold base play in game 7, with the secret switch into DT’s INTO a secret switch into All In Mass Chargelots!!!!! The word epic was defined by plays like that! ZEST IS BEST!!!!

Are you serious with these spoilers??? Great job! why would you upload eveything separated at once and let us know basically what happened? the big vod with everything on it was more than enough...

Tastosis was on fire this tournament

Zest was just incredible in this tournament! I didnt think that protoss players will be able to win with such good terran and zerg players. Well done Zest!

I like it when the crowd and Korean caster have a big cheer when Zest warp in 17 stalker in game 5

That was such an amazing series! Well deserved Zest!

Best commentators, maybe in esports history. Thank you AfreecaTV!

Aaargh, why do you spoiler the players in the final in the video title that you upload simultaneously to the semifinals?

Incredibly fun builds out of zest today. Really smart of him to focus on air builds agains dark, who loves mass ling/bane runovers.

Amazing finals indeed, but I was looking foward to see the semi finals as well after I got home from work, but spoiling the name of the finalists in the video name ruined a lot.

This final was like chiefs vs bills game. Thought each player lost at one point

You guys HAVE to stop spoiling the ro4!!! Just title the video "GSLST 2022 S1 GRAND FINALS" Why SPOIL RESULTS

This video title is spoilers; no reason to watch the semis I guess.

This is the only competition I watched this year. Is there also more competition for like NA and EU? Is there a channel for that where games are well organized like this?

Z€$T is BEST! Outsmarting and outplaying Maru and Dark on the same day, thats monster respect!

Well I guess I'm not watching the rest of the matches now since the entire tournament is spoiled. Thanks.

Game 6 - Microbial Shroud finally comes into its own!!

Congrats to the champion... but my favorite lost this time... next time buddy!

WOW Zest really throwing back to 2018 with that build!

spoiler... Zest deserved that win. He literally took the hardest path to get there beating all the biggest bosses... 1:57:32 "Chargelots inbound here BIG amount of gates coming!" Never has an incoming chargelot attack been so exciting!!! I wish the battle lasted a little bit longer in that last game. Zest overpowered Dark with so much force he dropped like a bat with clipped wings.

ZEST is Best!!

AMAZING GAMES! GREAT GAMES! WELL PLAYED BOTH! VERY WELL PLAYED DARK! HOLD YOUR HEAD HIGH BEST KOREAN ZERG! GGWP!

Why are Protoss players so much stronger in the super tourni? They hardly ever win GSL but regularly win ST.

Haven’t watched sc2 for about a years. What’s the sc2 landscape been like? How’s everybody holding up? Who’s the most accomplished player of each races? Parting still playing?

I've watched GSL since gomtv days in my 20s and will continue to do so in my 30s!

Game 1 dark making the meta in PvZ for the past 2 years look stupid

As always Afreeca DELIVERS! GSL the best e-sports tournament, baby B)

Why even bother watching the other matches now

damn what a great series!!!!!!!!!!! crazy game 7 strat

That final game... Absolutely insane!

Can you please stop putting player names in the video title? This unnecessarily spoils the matches. I went to watch the semi finals and this video was displayed next to the semi, so now I know who wins. This significantly takes away from the fun of watching knowing that certain players’ risky strategies will fail or knowing that the comeback they’re seemingly forming is just going to fail anyway

The three maps that Dark picked are the same that I as a Zerg player usually ban! Now I am most considering ZvT but can it really be true that you want the complete opposite in ZvP compared to ZvT? Small maps with few expansions that can be split in half, is that really what you want as Zerg vs Protoss?

This spoiler ruined my day… can you please not reveal the finalists until the next couple days?

This was sucha good one. Ic why he beat maru that day, it wasnt a one off at all. And that last game was amazing. ggs

El retorno de Auir

Winter sc2 is crying right now from happiness

thanks for the spoiler, afreeca

Best Finals

I was trying to explain to my wife the risk and the balls to use a gold base for an expansion. Only because of impeccable defense did it work. He made the right units and used them the right way and once he has 3 sentries on top he could block the ramp forever.

ZEST IS BEST

What a game, consistent and great game for zest

Maravilloso juego, arriba siempre la raza Protos 🙌🙌🙌

GSL Code S size is slowly shrinking, sad to see the Korean scene slowly dry out, but at least we still have games like Game 7 here and lets just treasure it while it lasts!

I dunno they upload this as soon as the stream is done because it's just spoilers.

THAT WAS SUCH A GOOD SERIES!! ❤️

Man can youtube not suggest this when I haven't even finished watching round of 8...

Phill Spencer should've handed the trophy to the winner.

these games are awesome! thank you!

Zest is best!

Come on, you spoiled the semi finals

Maru and Dark defeated wow what difference it was 1 year ego. Now Maru and Dark pretty much undefeated.

wtf what a match! the last game was epic! what a player! :D amazing staff!

1:12:05 Arty and Tasteless always ask "where," "what," "who," "when," and "why" are the Mutas, but never "how" are the Mutas 😔

Zest is the greatest man to have ever lived

Thanks for the spoiler AfreecaTV

25:43 "Fouracles" 1:26:56 Tasteless actually being funny is amazing.

Dose anyone know the name of the song in the intro?

I wish i could buy the GSL Clothing Zest has on !

Thansk for the great tournament!

Afreeca Freecs, why do you post the finals as separate matches and with the thumbnail and names of the players? You're ruining and spoiling the whole tournament for those that haven't watched it yet!
