He would be against Coca, but Coca can't play, so... does he just get a bye into it? Yes he does . He got a freewin thanks to Coca dropping out of Code S completely. I guess Coca won't play Up/Downs either which kinda messes up 1 group ... | ||

If ultralisks really sucked so much, why would DRG consider using it in a match it could have decided his code S future? I think ultras can work but you cannot just a move and you need the perfect positioning to use them. Any errors with the positioning and you would see ultras marching in a line to their deaths. Perhaps most other pros don't use them well which has generated such an impression. | ||

It's pretty damn standard for stephano and dimaga, and I'd say DRG goes to it a fair number of games. Curious also transitions into them as well, although sometimes from mutas. | ||

Same thing with "Pikkoro". If this is an English cast, shouldn't we be translating stuff? It's not a big deal to me, I was just curious. Why do we pronounce "impasse" as [im-pas] and not [im-pa-se]? Because that's just the way we do it. The way a word is spelled is not the definitive answer in how to pronounce them, especially in English. "ベジータ" / "ピッコロ"(Bejita/Pikkoro) are not Janapese words, just like "GanZi" is not an English word. So that is not a correct analogy. Correct one would be 孫 悟空(Son GoKu) which is romanized as Son GoKu and pronounced as [Son Go-Ku] not [Sun Go-Ku], as you may suspect at first glance. Why do we pronounce "Son" as [son] and not [sun]? Because that's how it is pronounced in Japanese. | ||

Ah yeah, the new system causes more problems than the old system when someone drops out. Still, when Rain dropped out there was a small tournament among the losers of the ro16 which Ryung won, so he got a place into the Up & Down matches in GSL July. It's possible there'll be something similar for the losers of ro48, although that would certainly be more work to do so. They might just pick someone randomly to fill the spot. | ||

DRG vs. MVP in AOL1 on terminus is the one I remember most, but like every game of Curious I see he goes ultras. I'm pretty sure DRG has gone ultras in TvZ at least once in his last like 5 series. In fact, in the super late game I don't particularly remember DRG favoring broodlords at all. | ||

OK that one is easy to find. Thanks for the other suggestions though bros. Well, easy once i realised STC is an Eric Clapton fan (or WWE, or X-Factor, or none of those because Koreans pick funny names). | ||
