Naniwa's PvZ is standard passive deathball style which Korean Zergs have been learning how to deal with by now. He beat Moon with it at MLG, but got destroyed at Dreamhack. Huk is a bigger threat, but DRG knows him already from Korean ladder and GSL. TLO has no chance, he'll probably all-in like he tried against Losira and failed miserably.


Naniwa has a lot of builds that he uses against Zerg, I'm backing Naniwa to make it to the quarter finals at the very least. Huk is amazing but Naniwa's the real threat since his PvZ is so damn good.
Either way though, I've heard that DRG is pretty damn good so I'm looking forward to these games.

TLO's been out of practice for so long so I think it'll be tough for him to compete in this group.

Haha, MVP is sick good, but since MVP has a code S spot, DRG should focus more on MMA. And I want to say something about be more careful of the foreign players... but honestly, there're no results that says DRG should considering the Korean/Korean-trained domination. But if he feels as if he can write Huk off easily, I'd like to see these new styles of ZvP he mentions.

He's confident, but without disrespecting others. You can say the act of confidence itself is disrespectful to your opponents, but I don't see it like that. It just means he believes in himself.

He's obviously wrong though.

i hope he loses to either naniwa or huk which is quite possible since he is very much underestimating them it seems

and if TLO can pull some nuke off or rush his way to victory we may have an upset who knows...

I think DRG is good, but I would love to see Huk (or even Nani) beat him since he said that he doesn't find his pool intimidating at all.

He's the foreigner at MLG.

EDIT: I just realized about nazgul's post above, dude im so sorry that half of your team is going up against him and nani XD. THEY HAVE A CHANCE THOUGH

Man, you guys read this interview, take it out of context, and are swayed to hang this guy dry.

DRG streamed for TL.net (via Xeph) back when it was taboo to stream your strategies out in public. He took a risk (along with TSL.Clide) and streamed for foreigner fans anyway.

Here's an excerpt from his interview in May:

Q. How much do you know about Teamliquid.net and the foreigner scene?

I know that Xeph mirror'ed my stream from Daum Pot and it was posted on TL.net. I tried to find posts in Teamliquid about my stream but I couldn't find any. I think it's good that there are lots of leagues and events to participate in the foreign scene, however if I wasn't in Korea I think that I would be able to post a lot of good results in these tournaments. Nevertheless foreigners are still good unlike Brood War. I've played players like (T)Jinro, (P)HuK, and (Z)DIMAGA on ladder and I think that (P)HuK is the best foreigner in starcraft 2.

You may notice that DRG tends to keep it real and doesn't sugarcoat like most Koreans do. Maybe it's a bit tactless, but I personally find it quite refreshing. MMA's interview reminds me of what 95% of Korean pros would say in interviews in BW. *shiver*
(MC comparatively does a lot of showboating).

I mean the guy carries his team and is 11-1 in GSTLs. He beats MKP, MC, Nada, MMA. He's a motherfucking boss IMO.

Actually i don't see him being disrespectful to foreigner players at all. I think he means that he doesn't care about his pool which is pretty reasonable. He knows Huk, he can assume Naniwa is around Huk's level, maybe he beats Huk a few times on ladder so he knows what Huk is capable of and so is Nani. MMA and Losira took the 1st and 2nd spots in the last MLG, so if he looks at them as an equal then he should be concerned more about his Korean fellows since they are the ones whom he is gonna face him in top 4.
I know many people would laugh if he got knocked out of group stage which is possible. But i'll feel bad for him since i really wants to see him fighting against MMA in the final for the code S spot.

He hasn't prepared for the pool play...Well, I think HuK and Naniwa are going to give him a great surprise. I really want Naniwa to be the number one of his group.
And then do you know what happens all of a sudden? Trumpets!!

Your pool in MLG Anaheim consists of NaNiwa, HayprO, TLO, and HuK. How do you feel about your group?

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.


Wow he is confident in himself. Then again, he's good. But Liquid guys, prove him wrong!!!
