DRG will not magically and suddenly develop carpal tunnel.

DRG will not lose to several all-ins in a row and certainly will not lose the macro games.

DRG will show Naniwa why he, not MMA, not MVP, not Nestea and not MC, is the best player in the world, and he will do so quickly, decisively and painfully.



Are you implying that naniwa needs to be the new tanya harding to win?
moo...for DRG

Its definately possible for DRG to lose to 3 all ins in a row. Check out the last 3 maps too.

This'll just be the test of HOW good Naniwa is when he really prepares, and I mean really prepares.

I think its all too possible that Naniwa wins this, if hes preparing as hard as we all know he is he'll probably have two allins in his sleeve that'll be strong, precise, and highly sharpened.

Either Naniwa wins or he gets annihilated, but I think hes got a chance, we'll just have to see what prep time does for Naniwa.

I'm hoping NaNiWa cheeses/all-ins a good amount. It would be funny to see how people react to that. If the writer is correct about DRG being more vulnerable to early Protoss attacks than Terran, it would also be his best chance to win.

Naniwa has a good chance. While by a poll of "who do you think will/should win", it would be like 9:1 in favor of DRG, realistically, in like a 100 games it'd probably be like a 6:4 in favor of DRG (okay maybe a 6.5:3.5....). If Naniwa prepares well and with the right people, he might be able to bring the odds closer... the biggest wildcard is how is PvZ is right now. The current Z metagame has drastically affected ZvT but hasn't really put much of a dent in ZvP, which is the biggest plus.

I'm more of a fan of DRG (always have been from the start), but I'm rooting for naniwa as he is a clear underdog.... although

I mean, I'd like for Naniwa to make it further, but it's DRG... and I'm a bigger DRG fan anyway.

I await Nestea's merciless slaughter of Byun with open arms though.

I think that NaNiwa and Byun are great players, but they both have managed to get this far without playing Zergs. I am pretty sure that DongRaeGu will beat NaNiwa, but having not seen Byun's TvZ since he returned I am not sure about NesTea vs Byun. NesTea will almost certainly beat him just because Byun was never particularly good at TvZ and NesTea created the universe, but anything could happen here.

EDIT: Also, keep up these write-ups. They are absolutely great and I love reading them!

For Symbol, the hype will inevitably cool down a notch, while Statements about how much of his success is due to his race will certainly emerge.


Emerged at the very start of his rise.
