It helps a lot though. Think about it. Suppose you're really good at injecting and macroing and decision making, but your scouting/microing are a little weak. This buff makes it extremely easy for you to get into the midgame without any real effort, and it grants you more time to react/scout/engage properly because of the greater amount of Creep.
DRG tacitly admitting the buff is too good is very honourable, from my perspective as a Protoss player.

Symbol is on the same level as DRG i would say. He was tearing apart everybody recently. Just not had the best of luck at MLG.

You guys are reading waaayy to much into this. He could just be saying that he thinks he's the best player in the world (which a lot of people would agree with). If Flash said this no one would cry imbalance.

He also said it has virtually no effect on ZvP, it's more of a ZvT buff, no?

His EPM was steadily around 500 for the last few series of games... Absolutely insane.
Congrats DRG, it was a great performance!

Aww, I don't want to see DRG go to the army. He is very young, so I think that he can put it off for a while. I know they let some bw players delay it... so hopefully sc2 as well.
DRG needs to enroll in Seoul Cyber University. IIRC that is the univ that bw progamers enrolled in order to delay their military service as long as possible (ex Jaedong, Nada)
relevant thread:Jaedong enrolls in Seoul Cyber University
TLDR the article: 50 BW players, coaches and e-sports personnel were enrolled in Seoul Cyber University at the date of the article (Feb 2nd, 2010)

Surprised to see him admit the queen in ZvT has basically changed the matchup now. Good interview, he played absolutely crazily in his series against Alicia and the series against MKP.

DRG a humble man and wise man

Actually, Lightwip would cry.

Congrats DRG. I followed all your games and was cheering for you the whole way. Way to represent Zerg!

Agreed. He would say the same thing a year ago.

Maybe Blizz fuckign change something in zvp wtf??? Zegr is good enought pls fix this imbalanced matchup listen to the pros like steph and drg like they say the match up is broken(indirectly the say this)
|
Congrats to DRG.
Also, I don't think he said the patch was imba. It sounds like he is just expressing confidence that if he plays his best, he can beat anyone, whereas prior to this patch, he felt that if he played his best, he could still be beaten.
I suspect that other top players feel the same way, regardless of race: If they are 100% on top of their game, that no one can take them out, and in any game they lose, they can find some mistake they made that could have turned the game.

DRG indirectly said ZvP was broken? Where?
He said he is confident in his ZvP skills, and that the new patch didn't change ZvP much. I am unsure where he said the matchup was broken.

Drg favorite player hope he does great this GSL ROOTING FOR HIM!!!!!!
|
congrats DRG. he really deserved the win played better than anyone else on the w/e

OK, all you female SC2 fans need to step up big time and take a hit for the community, pick your fav Korean player and marry them so they will not have to join the army.
Thanks

He's a 2-post troll. No need to respond. The match up is great.

DRG already stated in one of his Code A interviews that he didn't think the patch was needed and now makes it too easy, it's not particularly a suprise that he still thinks the same way.
