According to HuK, DRG "threatens me with rape every time on ladder." Although HuK's improved much since he said that, I'm sure DRG has as well. Should be interesting LOLOL I seriously hope Huk meant that literally so like everytime he faces DRG on ladder, the beginning looks something like this: Huk: glhf DongRaeGu: I will rape you Huk: please stop this DongRaeGu: I know where you sleep DongRaeGu: be careful better sleep face up tonight
Haha, that actually sounds feasible given some of the chat you see on Huk's stream.
I have to agree with some others in this thread that I dislike DRG's attitude of automatically counting out the foreigners, Huk and Naniwa no less. Despite DRG posting really good results in GSTL, I can see Huk taking games off him and vice versa. Naniwa could also do the same as he just seems to be getting better and better, hopefully all of these flights he's been doing recently won't put him off with jetlag.
TLO could pull a 7rax again or something equivalent and knock DRG down. He also talked about his recent starcraft epiphanies as a result of not being able to play. Of course this doesn't automatically make him a god, but TLO has shown his strategic potential many times before.
Also, don't count out Haypro, he's really good and everyone remembers when Dimaga 2-1ed Nestea in the world championships. Shit can happen.

I hope you guys realize that Huk and Naniwa aren't exactly playing the best PvZ's right now either? Perhaps DRG knows this? Not analyzing replays doesn't mean that he didn't at least take a cursory look at the favored matchups for each player.
|
Damn, I want DRG to get into code S, but after this interview I hope he loses hard against some foreigners (I fear he might be right though). Well, that just means win-win when watching his matches 
|
The Dong strikes back! Epic interview. I have a fear HuK and NaNiwa might kill him.

How this interview should of gone.
"Hey so you are going to mlg, how do you think you will do" -interviewer
"Destroy everybody." - DRG
"who do you look at as a threat @ this tournament" -interviwer
"what?"-drg
"Who do you not want to play?"-interviewer
"i still don't understand?"-drg
"Who do you fear... (gets cut off mid text... somehow)"-interviewer
"I DO NOT KNOW THE MEANING OF THAT WORD!"-drg

"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."
Honestly I'm just reading that as confidence. The "no matter what" just seems like he's showing his determination to advance in the tournament, and he's convinced that the koreans will as well just like last time, and thus is focusing on facing them.
I don't think he was dissing the foreigners ;o I mean when he played oGs he was expecting HuK to be their ace. That's respect imo.
|
DRG has talent, that is for sure. However, that group he is in... He very might well steamroll through, but if any combination of TLO, HuK, NaNiwa, and HayprO have a good day, they could take enough games off of him. HuK has shown massive improvement and results in the last few months. HayprO is always fairly strong and NaNiwa has been dominant in the past (even if he admits to slacking off lately). TLO is really a wildcard right now; his recuperation period may lead to good things, especially nukes.

Through this MLG, I want to obtain a Code S seed and meet many of my foreign fans.
Koreans at MLG through the exchangeprogram can't obtain Code S/A-status, nobody told him?
|
DRG, if you are reading this, hihihi 
I don't know who I want to advance from his group, so full of goodies 
|
Koreans are very proud especially when it comes to starcraft. DRG hasn't played many foreigners to my knowledge and the accepted belief in Korea is that Koreans >> foreigners, so I'm pretty sure that's where the attitude is coming from.
|
Cool interview. But he should be careful to not understimate HuK and Naniwa.

They can't obtain code A status, they can get code S though(Although GOM does have a history of giving code A invites to Koreans who have performed well in foreign tournaments, like Ace and Moon)

That is wrong, nobody told you?

If they win and aren't already in Code S, they WILL get the Code S spot. They just can't win the Code A spots.

DRG, the world isn't only about Korea, alright? Show respect and people will respect you back. Respect is for people who have proven themselves. The best players are in Korea, so he has every right to respect the Koreans a lot more. If more foreigners showed results, then you can expect him to respect them more. When you have players like MMA and MVP it's silly to worry about Huk and Naniwa. Also considering that DRG plays Huk on the ladder, he most likely beats him often for him to not feel threatened. Not everything in this world requires result to gain respect. You can be the world's best player but if you have shitty attitude, no one will care about you in personal life, that also means that everyone will despise you because of that foolish cockiness. Look at BoxeR. Even when he is not winning much in recent years, every other players still respect him because of his attitude in the past. If you have no result and still shitty attitude, you gain less respect.
People respect Boxer because he had RESULTS in the PAST. If Huk and Naniwa were the reason SC1 became popular in South Korea, then they too would be getting respect without results in SC2.
What do you want him to say? Lie that he feels that the foreigners in his group are more or equal of a threat than MMA and MVP? The bottom line is, regardless of how cocky and condescending he is to foreigners, he still has fans. He has all the fans in Korea and when it comes down to it, he still has quite a few fans outside of Korea. Some people like his talent, some people like his cockiness. At the end of the day, even if he doesn't respect his group at MLG, he still has plenty of fans both in and out of Korea.

in b4 he falls to naniwa and huk...
still rooting for him though and one of the first players that says/mentions boxer in the list of players he acknowledges?
|
DRG for MLG Champion?
As much as I would love a foreigner to walk away w/ the trophy, I would equally love to see this guy get it.
Naniwa style (minus open bracket)- No losses (and none in the finals)!!!

After reading this interview, I really hope Naniwa and Huk can beat him, but Naniwa PvZ has me doubting. He has had a lot of time to improve though.
|
I'm not a Huk Fanboy, but now I hope he's gonna own DRG in MLG. With all due respect, that's just no attitude to have right there.
But maybe that's just because he does not know the foreign scene. He's a beast, but we have beasts too :D

Glgl DRG! TL believes in you.
