I don't think you know what One Trick Pony means. It's not the same as One Hit Wonder. What you've described is consistency, and no one is doubting DRG's consistency. In fact he's extremely consistent. He's consistently doing the same thing to beat Terrans and he's consistently losing to Protoss. I like DRG, I think his playstyle is fun to watch. He's kind of like a better Ragnarok. But beating Terrans with Ling Bane Muta can only take you so deep into a tournament. It's obviously very hard to fight against as a Terran and he does it very well. But with good practice and control, it's not unbeatable, and Bunny proved that last season. If you only have one army composition, you don't deserve to be seeded into Code S is all I'm saying. | ||

I was going to call them classic players, but then one of the players I was listing was Classic... I think veterans makes sense, since they're both veterans of the game as well as the military. | ||

It's fun having casters struggle with player names that would otherwise come up in casts (TIME, Nice, Patience, etc.) and this seems like an extension of that. | ||

I got curious after you said this and looked back through 2020 Season 1; since then, he has had 2 series wins against non-terrans, and they were both against Dear. It's kind of interesting, how he does make these deep runs but off the back of drawing only terrans. I'm still happy for him because he seems to be a nice guy in the scene. | ||
