If he went to MLG I'd bet on him winning the entire thing

yeah DRG rolled oGs.
When I switched it on it was NaDa vs DRG and even though I love nada I wanted to see DRG win it for the team.
which he did. so well too!

not to mention that DRG played oGsHero in prims (after hour long games against qxc, and tired as hell I'd believe), and then basetraded oGsHero in there (but lost) and then in gstl owned him.

Words cannot describe how I feel about having DRG as my fantasy team captain then switching it to Losira last second.

Funny how your posts looks so much more like a "I hate BoxeR" post then a "I love DRG" one. Boxer is and will always be one of the most respected progamer because he's such a nice human being and so talented. He doesn't performs that well BUT he's the one that made SC2 terran the way he is.
On the subject, I'd sign your petition for DRG if he is not invited this season, the man one the best zergs around (not the best, sorry, but that's Nestea hands down).

He beat Guineapig and did pretty well against DRG in team league and is in the NASL finals. I think he is in fine shape. No need to talk him down. He isn't top 20, but he is still good overall.
On topic, I sincerely hope the last two MLG picks are DRG + a Korean Protoss (Sage or Hero? maybe). DRG deserves it the most.

Nah we all respect him for everything he's done. And he'll continue being a powerhouse even if his play isn't as good as it once was. That's why MLG got him to come, it brings in more viewers. And i'd go even if everyone else thought bringing Boxer in was the vilest of schemes to earn more money.
Just so I can get a chance to meet Boxer and shake his hand. It doesn't matter if BoxeR doesnt do well in the booth. It's just meeting a legend , like if King Arthur were returning to Britain and everyone wanting to see him in the flesh, maybe kiss his feet.

DRG+Sage or DRG+Puzzle looks like MLG's best bet. But Puzzle is code s material anyway so I don't think he'll get invited. Sage, well.. I don't know too much about him. He's constantly getting hyped and he even has a fanclub on TL but well, his games against fou were good too, but for some reason I still think that it's a bit too early to hype him this much.

Djagulingu... I'm fully aware that a lot of people have a crazy bias to boxer, but talking down to him just because he cant perform as well as he once did is messed up dude. He was a very talented SCBW player and created a lot of the builds and strategies that lead SlayerS to win two team leagues. It's like saying you don't respect Jordan because he cant ball like he used to, he still has a heck load of experience, skill, and inspired the new generation.
Anywhoo regarding MLG, I'd agree with you and say that DRG and Sage look like two people who would do very well. Both have a shown a lot of promise and potential especially DRG, results dont lie... BEAST ZvT, great ZvZ, and awesome ZvP as well.
