DRG has really made me a fan of him between Valencia and TL attack. I'm not bothered that he doesn't have as high an opinion of Thorzain as some of the posters here. He said that Thorzain is a top foreigner but not quite at Korean level, and that seems accurate.

Truth hurts? lol

Man DRG doesn't talk very high of Thorzain and Naniwa. At least not as high as we've been hoping. I really hope another foreigner can break out into Code S and show them whats up

Hmm, I think DRG has caught onto the "cocky is cool" trend though I don't think that's the best way to pull it off. ThorZain took the series to game 5. Gotta give him some respect for that.

He did give him credit - by saying that he's good for a foreigner. I applaud his honesty., really. I'm sure ThorZain himself knows just how much more he needs to work on.

Only thing you should have added is the crappy cell phone quality videos on youtube of barcrafts in sweden going crazy after thorzain wins a game. Pretty sick to hear all those people cheering.

(This one is from beating hero G1, I can't find the DRG games but it was much louder.)

Otherwise great article ^_^

Great write up. I watched the games live but the article covering the finals was good enough I still read the whole thing. Thanks!

Why are you guys so butthurt with his comments? How many times do you need to witness the might of the Korean Terrans? Do they need to sweep the next 5 MLGs?

Tier 1 and 2 Korean Terrans are the best bunch of players there is right now. MVP, Bomber, MMA, Ryung, TOP, Ganzi, Polt, and arguably some others.

Do you think Thorzain's name fits in there as of now? Be honest with yourself and see why DRG said what he said.

Now, if you are one of those "meh he should say what we WANT to hear, not what he really thinks", then... grow the fuck up

Not to bash on DRG, but a lot of his comments really look down on the foreigners. He pretty much said thorzain only looked good because he plays such a turtling style.

Not to say they weren't honest, or true or anything.

Wow, I know people are focusing on DRG's comments towards Thorzain, but I'm more surprised by how DRG views Naniwa in the sense that he views Naniwa as being just as talented as Korean players and Thorzain as not to the level of Korean terrans though korean terrans are a step ahead of other Korean players in general.

Anyways, I love his brutal honesty, tells it as HE SEES it and not what the people just want to hear.
