I hope he doesn't focus on his ZvT too much in preparation for MVP and MMA, and then end up losing to HuK and Naniwa.

Or ask a coach to do that? Just a bad idea.

He might be comfortable vs Terran, but that's because he was ahead of the Meta-game. His ZvT style is seen more often outside of Korea, which might be a bit of surprise to him. (Granted, the first Terran to notice that he's turtling up and takes a defensible 3rd, goes a split Thor + Tank with lots of Marines, and tosses up turrets + Sensor Towers + can beat him)

He's damn good, but he better bring his A game. Everyone saw what happened at Columbus and is adjusting as a result of it. The Koreans are good, but the days of just expecting to win everything are going to be over soon.


July is sub-par by Code S standards and roflstomped pool play. DRG should be fine.


I really don't get how that's a response. July barely got past Sjow & Sheth and lost to MMA in his pool and was playing very well in GSL when he came to Columbus. So, I'm still not sure what you were responding to. DRG's group is also much harder than July's at MLG Columbus, plus there is an unknown Open bracket player coming as well.

+1 on that

HuK can beat him, Naniwa too with some lucky circumstances.

TLO could come up with a new cheese.

And Haypro... well, I know shit about ZvZ.

My prediction - he goes 3-1 or 2-2 in group play.





lololol He will roflstomp that pool easy!!! Huk is korean for DRG and Nani has always said to have a bit of trouble vs zerg! TLO is going to get owned he lost to Mass banelings vs losira last time! :-)

Hate him for it or not But his confidence is deserved! Atleast he didnt say he would 2-0 all the forgeneirs. Looking at you Idra!

July has horrible ZvZ by koreans standart so struggling against Sheth is not that surprising, and against SjoW I saw the game he lost that was baneling bust who did a lot of dmg but then SjoW did double starport banshee no cloack and made a comeback...
But at DreamHack July did very well in pool play even beating ThorZain and HasuObs.

Koreans at MLG through the exchangeprogram can't obtain Code S/A-status, nobody told him?

I believe that you cant have already earned a seed and are korean. So i think if you were ever in the GSL Code A/S (not open season) you can not get a spot if you are in korea, but i do not know for sure.


Top player gets an invite to Code S, no matter who it is. If #1 turns it down, #2 gets the option, going on from there. So, if DRG wins, he gets Code S. If he gets #2 to Huk, MVP, Idra, or Alicia, then he'd get the Code S spot as well. He could, in theory, place #5 with those 4 being ahead of him, and still get Code S. Same thing is true for Choya, Qxc, Slog, Naniwa, Boxer, Ganzi, MMA, Oz, or Tgun. (Basically, any of the players that are good and will be back in Korea)

The non-Koreans are up for the 4 Code A spots. The players that definitely wouldn't take a Code A spot (which should be for GSL September, but the Code S is for GSL August, I think), are likely Jinro, Naniwa, Fenix, Sheth and Idra. (Though, from ITG on Tuesday, Idra isn't necessarily against taking a Code S spot at the moment, so maybe that changes the first paragraph)

Given the way things progress throughout the weekend, there's a really good chance the 1st or 2nd placing player won't take the Code S spot. Actually, there's chance that we could have the Championship Bracket finals with 2 Code S players (Huk vs MVP could always happen), thus making the Loser's bracket winner being for a Code S spot. That'd be fun.


Actually, only the champion and the runner-up can get Code S, if both of them have it or doesn't want it, no one will get it.

people are really underestimated naniwa vs drg. i think if he researches nani alittle he will have a good chance but if he really isnt worried like he said nani is going to have a really solid chance of winning as im pretty sure nani will research drg's vods and prepare.

Umm its really not good that hes apparently looking past pool play already.

HuK (scary, on a tear atm)
NaNiwa(scary aswell on a slightly lesser tear)
TLO(unpredictable, but awesome at whatever he does)
HayprO (maybe most unlucky guy in the foreign scene compared to his skill level)

So he DEFINATELY shouldn't be looking past these guys lol.

If I had to be honest, I haven't paid any attention to pool play. I'm preparing to face the Korean players since no matter what, I'm going to win all my games and make it to the Round of Four as the first place in my group.

so confident :D
and poor haypro

Hey now, i'm a White Ra fan boy. If his group was 3 very good terrans, i'd say he's going to roflstop through it. But two code S caliber protoss will give him so much more trouble.

http://www.majorleaguegaming.com/news/mlg-and-the-gsl-create-groundbreaking-player-exchange-program/

"Code S status will not be awarded if all of the players placing 1st-3rd already have Code S Status."

I'd forgotten the 3rd place requirement. Oddly enough, it's only in 1 of the 3 posts MLG made. Probably why I forgot that. Thanks though!

So, the Loser's Final could still be for a Code S slot, though there are only 3 Code S players there right now, so that's *really* unlikely this time around.

Code A slots are 3 assured and a 4th only if Code S doesn't go to a non-Korean.
