Keep in mind guys.
Skyhigh was not being sent out in SPL because he had a ailing illness for a while and finally practicing.
Beating, the mightily struggling DRG is a doable job.

Wanted to see MKP to Code B though instead of Byun :/...
Tomorrow's game is pretty uneventful outside of TurN vs Yoda and yoda* should handedily beat him :.

Oops my mistake :p
Going to edit.

Also another factor to randomly consider is that
for Samsung, T8, CJ, EG-TL are done for the SPL
and WJS and KT players dont play a match for a while.
They will be more prepared than ever for these up coming matches.

1-3 vZ in Hots, 1-4 overall

If DRG loses to sKyHigh... well, it'd be pretty embarrassing. Can we call him a irrelevant champion too if he loses?

how could GSL/IEM/DH/MLG champion ever be irrelevant?

Being an irrelevant player simply means you're not relevant to the competitive scene, you're not competitive, you're losing all the time. That's what DRG is. He's not an irrelevant person since people still talk about him and he streams sometimes(I think?) with good numbers, but as a competitive player he hasn't been competitive since HotS came out, no top finishes(or anywhere near top) or good team league results.

Go to his results page, look at 2013. http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/DongRaeGu/Results

He's played in one premier HOTS tournament, he lost in the ro32. That's all he's done since March 12th, nearly 4 months ago.

other than WCS Korea (which he played in for season 1) the only other tournament he couldve gone to was MLG winter championships but he lost to jjakji 2-3 (before i forget what got nerfed but it was a pretty big nerf) because MVP doesnt have a sponsor to send players to overseas events. None of him not playing is his fault, other than him losing in season 1. He's going to one upcoming foreign event but thats because the coach his paying for his travel. So in conclusion, I'm blaming Blizzard and MVP's lack of sponsors (dont know how the best team so far in HotS and OGN LoL champs cant get sponsors but hey thats another story) for DRG not playing as much.

He also told me he is very confident in HotS and is consistently top16 on ladder.

I'll forgive the loss to jjakji because back then you could fit 4 hellbats in a medivac it was pretty bullshit, as for the other stuff it may not be DRG's fault that he can't go to tournaments and show his skills but that doesn't make it any less true that he hasn't been relevant in the competitive scene since hots.
