Seed,Virus and InCa safer picks for DRG. I agree with those safer picks. I think DRG can study the "lower level" Code S players (especially the Terrans) a lot easier. Congrats on 1000 btw  | ||

Virus is probably a good choice too, but he may leave that one for Genius or something. Not sure if Seed or Inca are eligible, but Inca is probably a solid choice if he is. i dont believe this "food poisoning" thing, because of DRG played winner bracket final at providence. and winter arena games were all about mind games. NaNiwa is still a big threat for anyone in GSL. On March 16 2012 22:56 DarkPlasmaBall wrote: I agree with those safer picks.

That'd be: Virus, TheStC, Maru, BBBB, July, Polt, Naniwa, Squirtle I think DRG will choose Naniwa, and Genius will pick Virus/Maru Virus is pretty damn cheesy, and good at it too. Maru showed great games in run-up to Code S. July/Polt/Squirtle are bad choices just based on quality of recent play. BBBB is borderline. STC looked shaky and Naniwa has historically been a complete walkover in GSL matches (not to mention rather 1-dimensional), so those would 2 + BBBB would be the best choices IMO. | ||

Seed,Virus and InCa safer picks for DRG. Those long session tournaments where you have no time to prepare anything specific usually cause more "upsets". In code S where DRG will study and prepare properly I think naniwa is no threat to him whatsoever. That said, I do agree that virus/inca are still safer options. | ||

For fuck sake, can a Korean losing ever be explained without reference to some mystery illness, or jetlag? Nani outplayed him at Providence, and there have been other extremely close series between the two. | ||

I usually do agree that its silly when people make excuses for koreans but in this instance, food poisoning is pretty good excuse. | ||
