Charged

MVPDongRaeGu will light up the GSL tonight as he leads the charge into the final Code S Round of 16 in Wings of Liberty. He is scheduled to go up against 3 very accomplished Terrans in Bomber, TaeJa and INnoVation. Taeja and Bomber have been known to take series from DRG before, the most recent came from from IPL6 where Bomber defeated DongRaeGu, setting him at only top 8 of the tournament. Similarly, Taeja has been known to topple DRG over a few times, their last encounter in Season 4 of Code S 2012 ended with the Terran player's 2:0 victory. KesPa's Innovation rounds out the group and has demonstrated himself to be a very potent TvZ player, as well, incorporating a variety of build orders and timing attacks to confuse and unbalance his opposition.

During Group Selection, it was DRG who picked Bomber first and started the polymer chain of Terran players in his group. So why would DongRaeGu pit himself against people, that on a good day, could give him a run for his money? The easy answer might be that DRG's ZvT has never looked better recently and he will only need to prepare for one matchup in this group. The metagame itself is in DRG's favor as top Terran players continue to struggle against the more modern styles of Zerg which incorporates a lot of aggression. But perhaps it's something else, perhaps DRG discovered a new read on Bomber's play, or because Taeja's been slumping lately due to an injured wrist, or that Innovation was just curbstomped by him just a week ago. Whichever the reason, it must have been a very compelling, enough to give DRG the audacity to assemble arguably the toughest group in the round of 16 this season.

But regardless of how tough this group is, I believe DongRaeGu has what it takes to make it through. DRG's play has been simply electrifying as of late, his game sense has been sharp, his wits have been sharper. And when we last saw him, he looked like a man who is charged up and ready to make it to the top again. The first step begins tonight.

Keep your head cool, DRG!
Keep on cheering for him, DRG-Fans!

DongRaeGu Mops the Floor with Group H in GSL Round of 32!!! 4:0 !!!

D -is for Dominance- RG

It seems every time we see DongRaeGu play in the last two months, he keeps getting better and better. DRG Code S performance last night continued this trend as he absolutely ravaged the group with the ferocity not seen since his reign in 2012. He first dismantled Hack in two games straight, the first was a longer macro match where DongRaeGu showed his superior control by flanking Hack with Ultralisks multiple times until dead. The second game, DRG defended Hack's 2base Maurader/Hellion/Marine All-In timing and crushed him with a counter attack. Hack looked visibly outclassed and completely lost in both games. It wasn't that the StarTale Terran player was bad, it was just that DongRaeGu was so much better that he made Hack look awful. See the carnage for yourself:

Bogus was next in line for the DRG-chopping block, and he did not fare any better. In all honesty, Bogus is an extremely good Terran Player, capable of humiliating Stephano last night with a 4:1 score. However, up against DRG, he just looked like another mediocre Terran. In game 1, Bogus spread his army too thin near his 3rd expansion and was brutally punished for it by DRG's Muta/Ling/Bling army. In the second game, DongRaeGu did a 2/2 Lair Mutalisk/Ling/Baneling Timing Attack that took Bogus by surprise. With his tanks unsieged, everything just died in an instant and the KesPa Terran was forced to ceded the match to his better.

Although many people are jumping the bandwagon in calling DongRaeGu's return to form a throwback to the 2012 DRG of yore, I have a different take: He's not the DRG of 2012, he's much better and here's why. The 2012 DRG was rash, impatient and was often times overconfident. The DRG of 2013 is more calm, collected and innovative. One of the critical flaws I've always attributed DRG of 2012 was that he was predictable, but he was so good compared to everyone else that it didn't matter. With the competition these days being so fierce, it has forced DRG to evolve with the times. His ability to mindgame his fellow competitors improves with each new showing and his decision making has become as wise and sharp as his well-honed skills. There was one game last night that truly showcased the NEW and IMPROVED 2013 DRG at its fullest: the DRG vs Hack game 2 on Planet S.

Now, the Marauder Hellion All-In timing with SCV pull is one of the scariest TvZ strategies in Wings of Liberty. It usually hits before Infestors come out, and without adequate splash damage (banelings just don't cut it because of the SCV and Marauders), the Zerg tend to flat out lose. Polt is notorious for beating DRG multiple times with this strategy. In the past, DongRaeGu would just idlely let all his forces die to this attack as he greedily drones. In Yesterday's match, DRG made a very keen decision that won him the game. When Hack's forces proved overwhelming, DongRaeGu backed up his roaches and PULLED HIS OWN DRONES to tank the fire. The more greedy DRG of yore would not have been able to make that call. Sure, he lost a ton of workers, but he was up a base, and Hack has just devoted a large portion of his workers to do the all-in. DongRaeGu came out ahead and took the game.

DongRaeGu's 4:0 sweep last night was less of a victory over Code S Terrans and more of a Victory over his old self. It seems that he has finally conquer some of the internal demons that has haunted him since the day he lost the Busan matches. What we have left is a stronger, more disciplined and ever smiling Park Soo Ho. And that, my friends, is something to be happy about!
