While Maru got knocked out by Solar and Trap Dream went out of his group in first place against the very same opponents that defeated Maru, in the same matchups. I can definitely see it, even if its not the result i predict. | ||

DRG knows his only way to lose is if Inno can cheese or harass him, He will play safe early and then POWER ZERG stomp the Terran like in the Ro16. Dream V Rogue can go either way. Personally I hope Dream cos he has been putting in super hard work recently. Somehow this is exactly what happened. | ||

After watching the replays of last week of DRG smash facing, I felt this was the only option. | ||

I can definitely see it, even if its not the result i predict. sure, but he still fairly hit or miss, and has lost each encounter he had vs Rogue, so my money is/was on Rogue. Not over yet, so let s see | ||

Definitely my favorite Zerg now. Ive never seen Serral get stomped. Rogue i have. Rogue's slumps are real. Serral's are non existent. | ||

I don't think that word means what you think it means. Although he may have been after that performance. | ||

Not sure about the awful celebration, but he did raise some eyebrows when he talked about how strong zerg was at the time he won his GSL last year - it's been kinda rare for pros to admit such things. | ||

DRG has always been a mechanical beast with very few mistakes and maybe the highest ceiling of the basics of the game. He was always flawed with build selection, innovating and nerves. If he is studying Serral he has everything he needs to copy strong styles and become one of the best again. The time away from the game seems to have really chilled and refocused him and allowed him to reflect, especially on the loss vs MC in the semis which really damaged him | ||

Just a PSA, I am going to skip warnings and start temp bans for people who post any form of results in this thread. Posters better hope other mods show up first. Everyone above who posted spoilers please move your text into spoiler tags. | ||

"non·plussed /nänˈpləst/ adjective: nonplussed; adjective: non-plussed 1. (of a person) surprised and confused so much that they are unsure how to react. "he would be completely nonplussed and embarrassed at the idea" 2. INFORMAL•NORTH AMERICAN (Read: ERRONEOUS) (of a person) not disconcerted; unperturbed. Regardless, congrats to DRG. | ||
