**Neoghaleon55 fulfills one of his dreams to buy (Z)DongRaeGu a beer**

The following is a very rare and awkward yet, at times, insightful conversation between a devout fan and his favorite player over some good old fashion alcohol.

I apologize for constantly looking towards the left side of the screen at the Marvel vs Capcom arcade machine. I was such a nervous wreck that I couldn't manage to even look at DRG for the first 5 minutes of our beer together, out of fear that I might spontaneously convulse over my drink and inadvertently spit in his face. Attached is a transcript of our whole encounter together [verbatim] for those of you who could not stomach the awkwardness between DRG and me. Also because the sound was bad due to handcaming this without a microphone.





Neo: You should take Keen to disneyland.
DRG: Yea, we're going.
Neo: Oh you're going? Who are you going with? Nestea?
DRG: Keen. No just with Keen.
Neo: Just one other person? Ok.

*sips beer.

DRG: So what are you doing after this?
Neo: probably go watch Scarlett. She's really hot right now. On fire.
DRG: I can't believe she used Protoss.
Neo: lol I actually missed that game. Did she cheese? Use cheese build?
DRG: *shakes head in disbelief*
Neo: I think she prepared that for you. The only way to beat DongRaeGu is to play as Protoss. lol.
DRG: haha.

***Sips beer.

Neo: Well er...thank you for taking the time to have a beer with me. I've always been a big fan of yours.
:D
DRG: no problem.

Sips beer***

Neo: So uh...I heard there is a Korean Starleague...a new one.
DRG: Yea, yea. Kespa Cup.
Neo: Yea! You gonna go?
DRG: Yea sure. Of course I er...have to make the qualifiers first.
Neo: It will be like MLG right? Just the weekend [tournament.]
DRG: yea.


*sips beer**

Neo: So...did you and Keen eat the cookies? [that I brought along for you? lol]
+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading]

DRG: Oh yea, we did. Thank you.
Neo: I know open bracket's really tiring...but you got through it.
DRG: Yea but...I didn't win.
Neo: I know you wanted to win. :/
DRG: I was doing well, beating four players, but then I lost to Zerg (Violet) ...I changed my mind...[I knew then that] it's hard to win.

*sips beer*

Neo: So is StarCraft Balanced right now? Which race is the strongest?
DRG: Protoss
Neo: Protoss is the strongest?
DRG: I think so. Some Korean players say ..very easy to win [against] Protoss. I don't know why. Maybe Soo will show us how to win.
Neo: Yea let's hope so...But he has never won! Three GSL finals already
DRG: lol yea.

*sips beer.

Neo: So you have code A coming up right?
DRG: Yea.
Neo: You are the player with the longest running GSL [Code S] showing.
DRG: Who?
Neo: You are!
DRG: ah.
Neo: You have to get into one more [Code S]. Set the record.
DRG: Code S, I'm at twelve...
Neo: You're up to 13 now.
DRG: 13?
Neo: Thirteen! If you win one more.
DRG: Pretty sure Protoss is winning more than that. Thirteen finals. lol.
Neo:lol


*sips drink.

Neo: So thirteen times .. Do you think 15 times you can get DongRaeGu Award? No more Nestea award.
DRG: I hope so. lol. I hope so.

*sips beer.

Neo: Where is Keen right now?
DRG: er...I think he's over there.
Neo: Is Nestea over there, too?
DRG: I ..er...don't know.
Neo: You didn't bring your girlfriend here this time.
DRG:....Actually...we......broke up...
Neo: D: OMG I'm so sorry.
DRG: lol it's ok.
Neo: Bad question, bad question.
DRG: lol
Neo:lol

Neo: I asked because Nestea brought his wife. I saw her.
DRG: ah yea. haha.

*Sips drink

Neo: But I'm sure you have a lot of options.
DRG: nah...*shakes head*
Neo: No? C'mon, you're a GSL champion, [soon to be] 13 times Code S [contender]. I'm sure all the girls line up for you.
DRG: Not at all.
neo: haha

*sips beer.


Neo: So I gotta ask. What do you do for fun these days?
DRG: Oh...Just soccer with my teammates.
Neo: Ah.
DRG: And Karaoke.
Neo: Are you good at Karaoke?
DRG: Ahh...Not much.
Neo: I'm going to pay someone at the MVP teamhouse to record you singing.
DRG: LOL
Neo: and post it on youtube!
DRG:lol...maybe not. You don't want that.
Neo: hahaha

*sips drink**

Neo: Are you good at soccer?
DRG: Not really.
Neo: Ok, World Cup! World Cup this week. What team are you rooting for?
DRG: Hmm
Neo: You watch it right?
DRG: Yea. Argentina.
Neo: Ah Argentina.
DRG: Koreans, we suck.
Neo: lolol.
DRG: We never win.
Neo: They're not that bad.. (ok they kind of are lol)
Neo: All my friends are rooting for Germany.
DRG: Germany. Ah.
Neo: Yea. They're very good this year.

(woot for predictions! Germany and Argentina to finals!)

*sips beer. *watches Marvel vs Capcom arcade machines.


Neo: I love fighting games. I was a fighting gamer before playing Starcraft...professionally(regarding fighting games).
DRG: Ah.
Neo: This is actually not my game (Marvel vs Capcom). I play 3D games like Tekken.
DRG: I see.
Neo: Nestea is suppose to be very good at Tekken.
DRG: Ooooh How do you know this?
Neo: Interview with Nestea. A long time ago. Losira is suppose to be good, too.
DRG: Ah.


*sips beer**

Neo: Do you play any games besides Starcraft?
DRG: No.
Neo: DOTA?
DRG: *shakes head*
Neo: League of Legends?
DRG: Ah...some games.
Neo: lol some games?
DRG:
Neo: lol Alright. I won't let the fans know ***** ^_~


Neo: What's harder: League of Legends or Starcraft?
DRG: Starcraft, of course!
Neo: lol
DRG: If I play League of Legends, I never lose.
Neo: You never lose?!
DRG: NEVER LOSE...in my lane.
Neo: Wow.
DRG: LOL


Neo: Do you play with your team?
DRG:Yea. Teammates.
Neo: MVP
DRG: mmhmm.

Neo: What about DOTA. They have money. Prize money. It's a lot.
DRG: I tried to play some games...but uh...
Neo: You didn't like it?
DRG: No.

DRG: You know. MVP's DOTA team tried to teach me how to play...but I was really bad. And they said "You suck! Just go away"
Neo: LOL
DRG: haha
Neo: You got disqualified.lol
DRG: I'm really bad, I can't play that. haha

Neo: It's ok. I think Starcraft needs you. As long as you play Starcraft, Teamliquid and the international community will support you. I hope you stay with us...but if you ever change games, I'd understand.
DRG: No. Never.
Neo: Never?!
DRG: Not ever.

*Finishes beer.

Neo: Well, DongRaeGu, it's been a pleasure. Thank you, for always being good to your fans. And have fun Disneyland!



BONUS: NEO VS DRG in Marvel vs Capcom! (in case you haven't seen it yet)

Haha, how wonderful : ) At first I read the title as "A bear with DongRaeGu." I was disappointed to find out that it was just a beer.

Good for you Neo, you deserved this!
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)
