Because DRG always faceroll's Naniwa except for the time he had food poisoning at Providence. Naniwa is really, really bad vs Zerg and DRG is phenomenal against Protoss. There's no chance Naniwa beats DRG. | ||

You know, if there is one thing I learned from Starcraft 2, it's that any GSL player has a chance to beat any other GSL player, especially if both are Code S. That chance might be small, like less than 1%, but it exists. Naniwa might have a small chance to beat DRG (20-30%), I feel. It's not that hopeless | ||

You're probably the kind of person who said that Naniwa wouldn't win a game after he first got his Code S seed because his 1-12 record was proof that he was a shitty player. I'll bet you that Naniwa wins in a series vs DRG. | ||

Top 3 at worst maybe... Definitely the favourite on paper, but Naniwa is no stranger to being the underdog. | ||

If it was a Bo1, or a Bo3, I could see Naniwa getting through with some prepared builds, but assuming DRG gets through his group in first place I don't see Naniwa beating him in 3 games. | ||

The thing to factor into the equation too is that Naniwa can and will prepare like a madman every minute of the day to beat DRG. I still give the edge to DRG, but there's no way I would bet the farm on him taking it. I'd give DRG 70% chance of winning just because he is comically good. Maybe the best Z in the world, and his ZvP is definitely among the very strongest. | ||

Don't really care for the bloke, especially because he plays protoss and Im still at war, but that kid's got skills! Anybody contest that go to Korea and compete in the world's most difficult tournament, see how you do ! | ||
