Just seems odd for DRG to make the long flight there and back with his Code S Ro8 match only 5 days away. I guess he isn't all that worried about Naniwa. =S

He did a MLG as well a few days before his code S final earlier this year. I believe there was an interview about it where he said that he felt zerg didn't need to prepare builds as much, and just general practise would carry through (which I guess makes sense, since he won that code S season and got 2nd at MLG

So I fell asleep on my couch during the MMA vs Illusion match, then briefly woke up later to move to my bed. Checked results to find HerO in the grand final versus DRG, who HerO beat the round before. Couldn't believe my eyes. o.O Well done, Hyeon Deok!

Just watched the vods, I think MMA played very well vs DRG. I love how he skips a lot of medivacs for tanks, while MarineKing skips a lot of tanks for medivacs.

It's a shame he didn't win but DRG played very well in the first and last game so not surprising!

Why would they make a 4 man tournament with double elimination rules? Especially when they have no time.

Just make it single elimination next time with bo5 semis and bo7 final. It's just stupid to invite 4 players and then have a boring final with 2 players that already played each other right before.

I recommend the HerO vs Illusion series for really interesting games, might not be the best but they're unique.
HerO vs DRG was just a one sided slaughter at first but their second series was pretty fun.

I only watched HerOs games vs DRG, but out of those the cloud kingdom game of the grand finals (not the winners finals) was by far the best game

The last game was very frustrating because MMA was leading and all of a sudden he lost all of his tanks because he didn't pay attention for a second and DRG got a lucky position.
The fact that 1second of innatentiveness + bad luck can make you lose a game you lead in SC2 is fun but is also very frustrating...

HerO is so good. I was he could play like this every time he hops in that GOM booth.
