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

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.

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.

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.

Very smooth day 1 again MLG, glad to see they can maintain top notch production. Games weren't so hot today, but that snot MLGs fault, it happens, I'm sure tomorrow will be better.

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

all these haters need to stfu and respect DRG... DRG is an amazing player, you don't all kill top korean teams with luck..

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.

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).

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
