Welp, maths isn't his forte i guess :p oh well, as long as he can play well.

I believe he's right about his previous semifinals though, he had to play losira and nestea vs someone was the other bracket.

DRG seems to have a hard time to admit naniwa was 1 millimeter from beating him.. man up and give him show him some honour already...

To be fair he did play somewhat overconfident, didn't look like the GSL champion he is today.
That being said, NaNi played amazing today despite everything.

How so? He said Naniwa was better then he expected and did stuff he never seen before. He also said he was messing around to much which was noticeable.
What do you want him to do, praise Naniwa the whole interview long?

He isn't overconfident he was playing around. If you see he just likes playing around with Naniwa.

Great job by Naniwa though!

LOL "he bought the good stuff". For some reason that line cracks me up hahahaha~

And wow, Byun super confident. Must really be working hard.

GO MC!! I anticipate a HUGE series between DRG and MC. Significant rivalry going on there.

Byun's pretty confident. I don't really think it was wise of him to say what he did about TvZ, since it just means every Zerg balance hero found their champion and will ignore the plight of every Terran that isn't in the GSL Ro4, but whatever. Hope Byun continues to play well.

DRG also was 1 mm away from taking the series 3:1 after losing the first set to an interesting strat.
In game 4, wasting all his minerals+gas for the bunch of mutalisks he didn't even use efficiently at all and using hydras eventually cost him the game he had already won.

He admitted he had some problems and almost suffered a defeat in game 5 - he's not a fanboy, there's no need for him to praise Naniwa all interview long.

Edit: lol @ Byun using "the good stuff" :D

hydras are still the symbol of defeat

Oh god ahahah... I died laughing at that. I hope that was intentional and not something that changed in translation. Nothing against Symbol, its just hilarious. And I don't know how I feel about Byun being so confident that TvZ has been solved. Even if it has been solved, the match up still feels really weirdly paced, and I really hate that the matchup is so focused on the late game.

Also think that MC vs DRG semi finals suck haha. Would have preferreed that as a final. Oh well, I still want DRG to make it to the final, he seems keenly intent on winning. Although the way he dismissed Naniwa as an opponent has me a bit worried. Atleast he says he is being cautious with MC.

Yes, BC/ravens are a good counter. The problem is how to survive that transitiion. Still don't have enough games where this has been successful vs the top zergs.

Will be interesting to see Byun vs Symbol (and potential Byun vs DRG) next Monday in OSL. Too bad it will be Bo1. Would love to see how Byun would pull of this transition.

If Hack is anyone to go by, aggression via multi-pronged drops seems like a way to go.

DRG really needs to step his game up if he wants to beat MC in the semis. And looking at his comments in this interview, he knows this as well.

Hilariously, if DRG went for Nydus hydra bust on game 4, he'd have won that when his first hydras hit.

No DRG, you going mutas behind the hydras as Nani went for blink was why it went downhill.
