Is Mvp's style too predictable then? You were able to beat him with early rushes at GSL October as well.

He doesn't do fixed things, but he's a player who goes for safe builds. There's a timing where he's weak after he opens safe, and I think I won this time because I aimed for that timing.


I don't get that comment by MMA lol... He says there's a weak timing when MVP opens "safe". But doesn't "safe" mean, there isn't exactly a weak time, hence calling it a "safe" build.

If there's a weak timing, then the build isn't safe then right?

These interviews are great. Good to see TeamLiquid involving themselves more in Korea in a journalistic sense.

I read TeamLiquid often, but I think that my fans on TeamLiquid have lost a lot of faith in me as of late.
I'll win in the finals this time, so I hope everyone supports me again.

hahaha oh wow he really took that poll to heart D:

Code S is changing a lot next year, with longer leagues and best of three during the group stages. What do you think of these changes?

For me, I just play the format the tournament decides on, so I don't really care.

YES.

MMA IS A BALLER. He's there to compete and doesn't give a damn about who or how.

Question to DRG:

What was your most memorable moment from 2012?

It's not a good memory, but it was losing to MMA in the GSTL finals.



I know he's good, but THAT good?
Zerg lategame is imbalanced as shit. Also: "Protoss is really strong recently. Perhaps, it's time for there to be some changes for Terran." -MMA. Even MMA asks for buffs. Srsly Blizzard. Srsly.

When you open with a build it is generally safe, and when you start to feel your opponent isn't proxy rushing you or just playing standard that's when you start getting greedy with tech/economy (or at least is the case with MVP) and skimp out on defenses.

kinda scary how the SlayerS house is... they get 30 terrans and pick your builds apart and find a weak timing in a "safe" opening.

Great interviews. The finals should be fun.
This post is clearly not a hurr, as you can see from the graph, the durr never intersects with the derp.

I love both of these players. Why can't they both win! T_T

Great interviews though. Great players, great people. Also nice that they gave answers with some substance.
