Tacticly DRG is very smart but its hard to be impressed by 50 banelings a-moving and crushing an army. 4 of the best players in the world and DRG is expected to get out of this group easy. That says alot.
DRG: GSL Champion, GSL Finalist, OSL Finalist, MLG Arena Champion and 2nd place, MLG Champion and 2nd place, among various other small tournament wins. I'm not even going to mention Dreamhack or IEM because they're foreigner heavy tournaments with 3-4 Koreans sprinkled in.
Taeja: MLG Arena Champion
Bomber: MLG Champion
Bogus:...
Yeah, it's shocking and a testament to imbalance, that DRG is favored in this group.

for a second it looks like each player was gonna punch the other in the face

If I had made this joke about Mvp I'd have ten thousand angry fanboys with pitchforks in half an hour

GSL stat is wrong. He does not have a 100% advance rate.
He lost to DRG/Polt in Code S last year of the Ro32.

O.0 Taeja using his filco.

A terran is not going to beat DRG before HOTS. IT just is not going to happen. I would be shocked if anyone in this group beats DRG. Exactly. I just don't see a Terran beating Life, DRG or the other top Zergs in GSL in a Bo3 right now. Lets wait for Hots I feel like a lot of it is because a player like DRG was competitive ZvT when Zerg was heavily undermatched. So with slight buffs to zerg, he was just exponentially better. DRG and Life are in a group of their own. No Terran can beat THEM, but plenty of Terrans have and will beat other top GSL Zergs. (Bomber 2-0'd Sniper to get here, for instance). This is just player imbalance. DRG's ZvT just can't be matched. But that was the same thing for ZvT in early 2012(MMA, Mvp, MKP were doing well but DRG, Leenock, Symbol were beating all the other terrans). Yet, Blizzard buffed queens and OL speed. Because pre queen buff it was like 45% ZvT, and a small buff to early game defense was needed lol. They completely missed the mark though :\
Except that's wrong, in both March and April 2012 Zerg was getting the better of Terran in the matchup.

there is no good terran out there right now.mvp and taejas wrists have broken down under the stress of playing a winning pro terran. I really respect them though, they won when no others could There are loads of good terrans. It's just we haven't figured out how to play vs Z nowadays. Passive doesnt work, agressive can work but hard to pull off and Z must make a mistake, mech doesnt work anymore, bio mech is trashed by any combination, bio works before infestors are out... Give me a break, Ryung? Bogus? Byun? even bomber? They are monsters.... But Z is SO FUCKIN powerful!
I consider a good terran as someone who wins the major tournaments. None of those guys have

I still don't really see DRG winning the season or anything. He'd be a firm underdog to at least Life and Parting, and I'd probably favor Roro and maybe MC against him as well. Why would he be a firm underdog against Life? He was up 3-0 in Iron Squid. He would only be a slight slight underdog.
Because Life is simply a better ZvZ player than DRG, and he never cracks. Has DRG ever beaten Life? I don't think so. Could he? Yeah, sure, of course he could. But it would be an upset.

It means if he does reach Ro16, he always advances.

That's pretty much how it went for him against DRG.
