Honestly team MVP should just temporary change their name to Team DRG every single night they have GSTL...because that's what basically happened last year.
moo...for DRG

I hate to make comparisons over BW pros so casually, but DongRaeGu sometimes reminds me of Jaedong just carrying the whole team by himself (everyone else on Hwaseung Oz were basically cannon fodder). Before his finals appearance at the Blizzard Cup though he resembled more like Sea and Leta, both high A-class progamers who performed excellent in Proleague (team league) but failed to find any good results in the individual leagues.

Of course, Genius has picked up his game recently so its not an entirely one man show and they have the odd player here and there to pick games off (GuineaPig <3).

Unfortunately GuineaPig left MVP and is now looking for a foreign team (heck, maybe Complexity picked him up?). Finale has become a solid team league player, though.

Nice DRG piece. I'm not really even that big a fan of his, but DRG is the only player who has ever made me think he could be more talented than MVP.

More up to date statistics look even worse for zerg, here are the zerg vs everything winrates in 2012 from all gom events:

http://www.gomtv.net/records/index.gom?searchType=3&race=Z&vsrace=ALL&season=2012&leaguetype=0&leagueid=0&gamever=0&mapid=0

zvp 35-48 (42,2 %)
zvt 25-36 (41%)

this includes drg's king of kong win btw, without drg winrates would be below 40% for zerg atm

drg is just on another level

you know what? MarineKing hasn't lost a TvT or TvP series this year (or if he did, he's still got a positive record against the players ie 3-2 Genius and 3-2 Polt). He's only lost to zergs (Delphi, DongRaeGu and Losira are the only people with positive records against him in BoX series)

This explains why I'm not GM. I'm not DRG.

I guess I'll have to work on that.

It might be possible to make mirror match ups analysis just as interesting as the mixed race.

It would be relevant to know the win rate of pure mech vs Bio vs Marine Tank
ZvZ has revolved around Infestor vs Mutas as the back bone.
PvP is kind of hard to pidgeon hole. Any suggestions?

Like KT should be KTFlash right?

I feel DRGs play in the induvidual leagues are nowhere as scary as he is in teamleaugues.
Hope NSHS can beat them (him ) ~~

80% of the article is about DongRaeGu ... and he deserves it.

Funny how this article goes on and on praising how well balanced Taldarim Altar is.

I'm not sure who to trust now, but I do know that I hate that map...a lot.

It's weird because i hate playing TvZ on Taldarim.
It's quite hard to defend your 4th and 5th without being in the middle of nothing where Ultra just ruin your world.

He share a lot of similarities with jd too. Insane mechanics + unit control, aggression sometimes comes in the cheesiest and most extreme form just to mindfk his opponents in a boX, and most importantly his mental strength.
I hope all the rest of the zergs keep under-performing. It will just show how talented drg is. We only need 1 true overmind :D
