DRG is good, there's no doubt about that, and maybe there is some subtlety lost in the translation of his comments about his pool. Still, you don't take a little time, when you have 3 weeks to prep for a big tournament (you can get a Code S spot, so it's a big deal), to get a sense of what your opponents will do? 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.


watch the unknown open bracket korean be yellow

He has both HuK and Naniwa in his group and yet he completely disregards group play? Out of all of the groups that a Korean shouldn't be blowing off...

Oh well. Hopefully they bring him back down to earth :D

Well it kind of shows that top tier Koreans see other top Koreans as threats, not any foreigners. And if you look at the previous MLG results, he has a right to do so.
I am not good with quotes

too cocky. great player and predicted him to go 1st in his pool play. after reading this interview i have learned that he hasn't acknowledged Naniwa. Well buddy, Naniwa has acknowledged you, and i think it would be doing yourself a great deed to try and study him.

If not, i have revised my predictions to Naniwa coming if first in pool play. O, and huk ain't too bad either

I like the confidence he displays, hopefully he won't crumble to something silly like jet lag.

Ok,I really didn't like his attitude,he's too cocky I hope he gets crashed a little bit....
I think the top Protoss player will be able to beat him(Huk,Naniwa etc). But what I'm really rooting for is him losing to a 6-rax by TLO.. That would be awesome.

After reading his last couple twitter comments, it seems he's well aware of both Naniwa and Huk, and practices hard for this event.

So it's not as "bad" as this interview makes it sound.

I hope they send him packing!!!

Meh can't really support someone who blows off foreign players like that I hope Naniwa and Huk Embarase him on the main stage right back to Korea.

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.


I hope Naniwa and Huk destroy DRG.. I'm really excited to see him play and glad that he got invited.. but this is disrespectful to foreigners, considering he's in a group with arguably the best two foreigners right now..

Nice interview, seems like a good guy, if not a little cocky, I hope he does well but I wouldn't mind seeing naniwa or huk beat him juswt to show that they aren't pushovers like he seems to think.
