Yeah when Code A became the Challenger Division, it changed to: 2 broadcast days of 4 games each for the ro48 (so 8 of the 24 matches streamed) 2 broadcast days of 4 games each for the ro32 (8 of the 16) and 3 broadcast days of 4 games each for the ro24 (all games streamed) | ||

Doesn't that just make you feel warm and fuzzy inside? Best memories ever, right? http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/details.php?section=sc2-korean&type=players&id=2627&part=games&vs=561&league=any&map=any&from_year=2011&from_month=5&from_day=17&to_year=2013&to_month=2&to_day=26&action=Update | ||

I mean, any tournament has a winner. It is just the way it is. A championship or a second place tells something about the performance within a short time. While only a selected few ever manage to win a major tournament, it is still only a trophy. You win it today. Tomorrow it is won by another guy. A Nestea award – named after the face of consistency – is something else. Yes, even the namesake himself is no longer considered a championship contender. But it is impossible to think "Starcraft" without having Nestea coming to the mind. Dongraegu is almost there. Having its debut in GSTL as the ace, he became the carrier of team MVP. His ZvT looked impenetrable. But it was a hard time to get into the GSL. In the Blizzard Cup 2011, he managed it to get to the finals, only to lose again to MMA, like he once did in a legendary GSTL match. DRG won the LG 3D tournament, he also became the official King of Kong. Everyone knew he was the best zerg. But it still was in doubt if he is the best player. Blizzard Cup was his shot, but he failed. But he did not lose without making a statement. A statement of courage. Of skill. Of nerves. Of focus. Of precision. Of will. Facing defeat, he took three games in a row and forced MMA to the ace match. There, he almost had him. The crowd cheered for DongRaeGu, too. Everyone knew, that DRG was finally ready. Ready to reach for the highest trophy. And he showed. He marched through the GSL, defeated (and embarrassed) the Protoss Genius, his reallife friend and then-teammate. And all the doubters were silenced. But there came a time, where Dongraegu did not win everything anymore. He still was a heavy weight in the booth, but he did fail to qualify for the GSL finals which would be held in his home town. And then he failed to get his team to the GSTL finals. All the haters crawled out from under their rocks and declared him a one hit wonder. But it also became clear who just proclaimed being a fan of DRG because he was on the top, and who is an actual fan. But there are the times, when a DRG fan experiences a joy that no other fan can even dream of. I remember his MGL finals versus Marineking. For the third time in a row he faced that terran. And now he was in the final match, it came down to one map. Taldarim Altar. The players spawned close to each other. Dongraegu went for a banebust and dethroned the King of Marines. Zerg best race! For the swarm! | ||

DRG will have two chances to get back into Code S. If he just focuses on ZvZ for the next few weeks, I'm sure he will get that Nestea award! | ||

Source: http://esports.dailygame.co.kr/view.php?ud=2013071015072034426 Translation by: Wozzot (Thank you so much!!! <333) What are your thoughts on reaching Round 2? Not only has it been a while since I've won, but I don't have to play in the qualifiers now, so I'm feeling good. If I'd gone to the qualifiers, I'd have had to wait six months before returning to the Premier League. I didn't feel confident that I would be able to hold myself together with my own strength: it got to the point that I was praying for victory on the day before the match. What did you talk about with the coaching staff after losing the first set? Dream and Coach Choi Yun-sang told me to use my Overlord placement to look for the Terran army heading out while I played, and I was able to make up for my mistakes in the first game due to that. Your performance has been lackluster recently. What would you say is the reason why? I sensed during my games that I haven't been able to keep up my form during televised matches anymore. In the past, I didn't have that kind of feeling. I honestly felt as I did at my debut when I played my match today: when I faced a major obstacle, my heart would race, and I wouldn't be able to keep my attention on the small details. I'll have to fix that. In Round 2, you'll be facing YugiOh. Even if I don't practice, I don't feel pressured in ZvZ. My [ZvZ] win rate is high on ladder, too. Since I won't have to return to the qualifiers, I'll play without worrying. My priority is to get less tensed up during televised games. Do you have anything more to say? I'm thankful to our sponsors, Lotte Chilsung and Razer, as well as to Coach Choi Yun-sang and his father. I also want to thank Dream, whom I have to buy chicken for for practicing with me, as well as KeeN and Shine for standing by me and filling me in on the finer points [of the game]. The [StarCraft 2] community has been saying, "I don't see DongRaeGu staying alive," but I haven't been losing during practice. I personally think that I'm doing well at the game, and I'm always working to stay on top. If I manage to get used to playing in televised series again, I'm confident that I can play as I did in the past. Finally, I want to send my thanks to the people in my Team Liquid fan club.  | ||

http://www.aligulac.com/players/1978-sora/ 7-7 record. He beat Arthur in PvP but I would expect DRG to be facing Super next Sora did actually make it to the finals of the most recent Code A qualifier though and he beat NAKSEO there 2-1 | ||
