DRG isn't mediocre.

He's code B, failed to qualify for Code A multiple times. Call it what you want, call him better than all foreigners, but in Korea hes just okay


Korean pros consider Code B harder than Code A, some considers it hrader than Code S

160 vs 90 supply at the 12 minute mark, yeah ok....
GG, no reason not to check the third huk


Not out of the ordinary. I don't even say this as a balance whine. It's actually a pretty normal sight. Not exact examples, but similar games in terms of being that far up in supply: HongUn vs. Kyrix, Genius vs. Min, probably a couple more series that I'm forgetting.


Shitty DT opening vs 3 base roach production

that's what happens to supply


HongUn vs. Kyrix and Genius vs. Min were not DT openings IIRC. You can name other things HongUn and Genius did wrong in their games, but my point is simply that seeing Zerg nearly doubling Protoss's supply in the midgame by massing roaches and then rolling the Protoss over isn't too uncommon.

and this is why you dont do stupid builds like DT's against good players grats on second in pool HuK


The DT build would have demolished the fast third style of DRG if he'd actually checked. Huk made a mistake, but it wasn't the build.

It would have at best forced a cancel on an early third which is not as big of a deal as your making it seem. DRG plays with a macro hatch so the lack of a third that early isn't that big of an issue, just look at game 1. Yea Huk would have been in a much better spot if he would have stopped the third, but he was going to be behind anyway.

DRG has been going macro hatch + early evo a lot. I honestly don't understand Huks thinking in opening DTs vs that, especially if you aren't even going to check for a third.

And he owns in GSTL against Code S players and won the LG Tournament that was filled with Code S players. You underestimate how tough the Code A qualifiers. Puma lost first round of the last Code A qualifiers, yet destroyed in NASL Finals, beating two Code S players on his way.

And he beat Huk and Naniwa. So what does that say about them?

Your logic fails because you're an incredibly ignorant fanboy that's incredibly butthurt. Getting in Code-A is arguably one of the most difficult competitions in the world

I think Daywheat said it best, DRG shines in the midgame. However, he showed A LOT of weakness transitioning into the late game. HuK should have never gone DT's. Once it's scouted, your basically behind for the entire game...


Haven't seen DRG's late-game beyond roach/hydra/corrupter/late infestor though. I do agree that's a weak transition if that's all he's got.

DRG seems to win most of his games with zerglings and game sense. The roaches seal the deal, but his zerglings are the ones that do the necessary early/mid game damage, after which, depending on whether the opponent is turtling, he'll either go for mass roaches or roach ling baneling drops to hit Protoss at that vulnerable mid-game timing when colossi are just starting and storm isn't finished.

DRG is really horrible tbh, if huk didnt make elementary mistake he would have steamrolled him. HuK will win this whole thing, easy


LOL fanboys, Huk got put in his place.


Fanboy or not, it's quite true. If you watched his play carefully, you can spot all those misplaced forcefields and mis-controls (which is not typical of HuK).

In Korea he is the ace player for MVP. He is way better than average in Korea.

Maybe you should copy and paste a bit more carefully...


I figured out midway through my style was wrong. I was retapping CTRL & V over and over, where i could just hold CTRL down and it would work.


But seriously i'm so excited. I <3 drg's play and he deserves code s so bad, now off to watch gsl finals and never sleep. ;9
