Trap should have made more Tempests, making just 5-6 vs the 12-14 of Zest was a big mistake.
And then missing part of his army on the defense of the third, had it be right there he could have killed all the tempests of Zest and survive with the ninja unscouted.

I kinda miss day9 hype, he is an enthusiastic caster. Kinda not feeling these guys being seriously excited xD
Anyways Zest kinda made it with somewhat uninspiring play perhaps, but with his stable style. Kinda what he was known for. I dunno what to think of him, somehow I still feel he didn't do anything too amazing the whole tournament.

Except for last game, I found the finals to be enjoyable, going for macro games and seeing cool moves from both players. PvP can be so much worse 
And Zest won thanks to his PvP, as I mentioned right before the finals 
He's no sitting fifth on WCS Standings, despite not earning a single point on GSL & NSSL Season 1, and GSL Season 2. But considering the amount of points GSL & NSSL give, he'll need to qualify for NSSL, KeSPA Cup(s) and get a lot of points.

Yeah I definitely liked the series, these players simply lacked the insane hype that Innovation, Maru or Life would have had. But I ain't complaining, good PvP's

MLord be thinking: "I have a third, Happy does not. I have a bigger army. So let's move half of it to the ramp of my opponent to see what he h-...oh snow, panic mode, panic mode! let's move down my ramp to greet his bigger army, then siege my lonely tank right on the cliff so it can get sniped before I can send scvs to repair it. The orbital at the nat? Let's leave it landed, it will earn me more time to get more units! pity that I forgot to lift it before Happy's tanks killed it".
That was the example of going full foreigner, you never want to do that

Problem is, all of the foreigners go full foreigner sooner or later. 
Even Snute, Naniwa, Vortix, Scarlett and others had their games in smaller and big tournaments where you were wondering "how the hell did they even get this far with this kind of play?"... Oh, and some Koreans occasionally.

Swarm Host balance patch to go live in less than a month - end of an era.
And the beggining of a new one, I expect Zergs rightfully crying coz they can't deal with lategame P/mech
Nah, crying is pointless. If they don't do something with the actual Mech or Protoss deathball, you will see Zerg doing exactly what Protoss players were doing in the WoL, and that is Immortal all-in or die slow and miserable death(although Protoss pushing with Colossi, HTs, Tempests and Void Rays will end the game quite fast).
There were a ton of showmatches showing new Swarm Hosts in action, they were really difficult to use and played out a lot differently, but I liked them. They didn't seem too strong, or creating boring matches. Then Blizzard nerfed them further and reduced their duration by 5 seconds(and now it is 25 with 60 seconds cooldown) and I think that potentially kills that units with their 100/200/4 cost as those 5 seconds matter a lot when Locusts are flying and are actually slower than ground Locusts(which doesn't make any sense at all).
We will see what will happen, and I hope that I'm wrong but so far I don't see new Swarm Host being what they were supposed to be with them getting nerf after nerf and I don't see them changing anything considering the Terran or Protoss deathballs.

Oh, I totally agree with you - that's why I said 'rightfully'
It's sad because the void the current SHs will leave after the change it's very obvious regarding ZvP, yet Blizzard has nothing planned to fill that gap. Their balance team could really improve a ton

The direction is good but the whole change is overdone and overall done too soon. It is meant to be for LotV, and it makes sense there with Vipers/Infestors getting new abilities, Corruptors changes and few other tweaks while getting 2 completely new awesome units like Lurkers and Ravagers.
People are looking forward these huge design changes in the middle of expansion, and even though I can't wait for them just to see what will happen to the actual game(a breath of fresh air is always good), they don't make much sense at all.
If anything, they will just remove two units from the game(Swarm Hosts and Tempests), those units are among the worst designed units currently in the game but you can't just "remove" them in the middle of expansion that people actually bought because you know, you have added those new units in the first place...

Oh yes, I forgot about the Tempest change - I fear it'll make PvP worse, with a return of the Colossi wars fest
What's more worrisome is how it will negatively affect Zergs in their quest for qualifying to Blizzcon - with the (very low) speed of Blizzard patching, they could be screwed for a whole season, if not longer. This has the potential of a big snow up

HYPE!
There are some stupid things that looks straight out funny, but still I can't believe that it is so soon! So many good things happening near the end of March - start of the April!

I'm looking forward to the LotV and the Beta I just hope that campaign (and the story) will be better than in HotS... As for the multiplayer, it seems promising, though I dislike Tempest changes...
