So hyped for this! who doesn't love a top-level TvZ? I think this can go both ways though. INno is INno, but DRG is looking scary again nowdays.

3-1 INno or 3-2 DRG

Did you see Dream beating Ragnarok, sOs, DRG, Trap and Solar? 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.

Maru, Bomber, TY, Dear, Classic, DeParture and Rogue!

TBH a vote for Dream is more of a vote for "Rogue is gonna cruise until Katowice 2021"

I have DRG 3 -1 Inno. 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.

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.

"As for INnoVation, he was typically nonplussed about having to face DongRaeGu in the quarterfinals."

I don't think that word means what you think it means. Although he may have been after that performance.
Now witness their attempts to fly from tree to tree. Notice they do not so much fly as plummet.

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.

The DRG versus Innovation matches were quite surprising. How can he be so strong?
You don't choose to play zerg. The zerg choose you.

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

I'm so disappointed in you for continuing a results discussion in a preview thread.

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.

I dunno, it's not so much a contronym as it is one of those words where some dictionary definitions have been updated to include a note that "Americans frequently use this word incorrectly."

"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.
