Odd choice with Malthael
Zeys played Malthael fairly well, but appeared to have very little sway over the series in the 0-2 loss to Super Perfect Team in the HGC Finals.
ANALYSIS
Zeys struggled in both Games 1 and 2 when it came to applying pressure on the hero Malthael. Without being able to force Super Perfect Team to retreat or panic, Malthael loses the best part of his kit, which is his infinite ability to chase and juke in an open area. This was largely due to SPT doing a great job at zoning out the rest of Soul Torturers or fully retreating whenever Zeys used his heroic. In Game 2, Zeys was able to finally get the exact situation he wanted at the 18-minute mark, where he was able to chase down the members of SPT, picking up two kills despite being down level 18 to 20. In the end we are forced to ask the question: why Malthael? Despite the hero having an excellent kit, it often felt as if Soul Torturers simply drafted Malthael as a tack-on hero instead of curating the draft to maximize the grim reaper's potential.
