Actually, i root for Nestea and Naniwa. I think, DRG will probably win, but i cheer for naniwa. In fact, the reason, i believe, naniwa can take this is, DRG lost his last series vs a protoss i think it was at mlg vs socke from germany. Socke is a very underrated player though he is very strong. I dont think, he is better then DRG, but above in the news, you can read, DRG does probably better at events like mlg. If Socke can beat DRG at a mlg, NaNiWa can beat DRG in the GSL.

I do believe Naniwa can win, although there's a fairly good chance that he won't Looking at that picture I felt really bad for Symbol, especially because the Monsieur J ad in the background said "I Hate You" and it was like the ad was looking right at him.

Also this was one of the funniest articles in a while! Good write up :D Can't wait for the games

DRG's last series vs a Protoss at MLG was the finals vs Alicia which he won.

im not so sure about the write up for DRG. Hero convincingly wiped the floor with DRG's face. Drg is beatable. I think Naniwa has a path to victory somewhere in there.


If Naniwa pulls off Hero's style instead of Naniwa's typical style (and he's more than capable of adapting, as he doesn't play his "normal" in GSL almost ever) that he uses at MLGs or Dreamhacks to take people out with simple solid play, he is more than capable of taking out DRG. DRG really has to be extra cautious. That said, being a huge DRG fan, I'm hoping DRG wins, but I think this is going to be more of a challenge than he's expecting.


It's not easy to copy someones style and just do it under a week(and do it as good as them) it would take a miracle for naniwa to win.

Looks like my heart's going out to Naniwa and my liquibet's going to be on DRG. Nestea vs. Nani final is probably never going to happen, but people can dream

Really good article. My favorite part was this
Strengths
– Best player in the world


Weaknesses
– Doesn't win every game
– Minor chance that Genius will ambush him on the way to the studio.

Ideal winning scenario: Wins 3 - 0 while throwing in manner hatcheries and a BM ceremony

Craziest winning scenario: Nothing would surprise us.

I WANT Nestea and Naniwa to win.

I even liquibeted on it, because I think if Naniwa gets enough liquibets, the forces that be will let him upset DRG.

But... its DRG. sadface.

(nestea will win)

See, you are so good at predicting these things, and these are great write ups, but god I want you to be wrong this time! Just imagine Naniwa's happiness if he did it! Just imagine everyone's happiness! There is no chance at all that I'm missing GSL tonight JUST IN CASE!

Hydra! What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing!

Presumably what Symbol was thinking after the match.

For whats its worth, I think Symbol had a great run! Didn't think he would make it all the way, and I think this defeat will only make him a far better player next season.

DRG is gonna win.

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.

And then next week MC will show DRG why he is the best player in the world.
Though DRG will crush Naniwa hopefully Byun can make his series with Nestea close to compensate for the one sidedness of the other series.
MC to beat DRG in ro4 and Nestea to beat Seed setting up an epic finals.

I hope DRG stacks all his drones ontop of one another and sends them into Naniwa's base and kills him like that.

Im honestly not sure which is more unlikely, Byun winning or Naniwa winning. Byun got the worst maps in his worst matchup against a former champ Nestea who isnt exactly bad at ZvT or Naniwa who got okay maps in by far his worst matchup against the best player in the world DRG.
