Rogue is a hype-killer extraordinaire

Perfect description, denied Maru 2 katowices, crushed soO's dreams at Blizzcon and shut down Zest and Protoss hopes. Hope he wins this code S, best player in the world when he's on form.

The lack of available zerg practice never occurred to me, thank you Lord Wax for your insight.

DRG's grown in my heart since he got out of the group stages in GSL and he's my favorite zerg in Korea right now. Hoping he does great! It's incredible to see him as a symbol of hope for any military returnees- makes me wonder how well ByuN could do next year.

I'm glad the writer picked Rogue. Pretty much guarantees a complete blowout for DRG

Looking forward to the DRG upset. He was one of the greatest players of all time but often overlooked in the modern day. Theres a slew of Zergs lining up to challenge the goat Serral at the moment.

you forgot ragnarok!

but yeah, with impact going to army it's getting even tougher to find Zerg practice it seems

Rag is good friend of afreeca freecs crew, so I suppose he'll be practicing with DRG

With that in mind, imagine this scenario: DongRaeGu comes in with the institutional knowledge of the Korean Zerg Brain Trust behind him, having collectively devised all sorts of devious builds. Honorary Afreeca clubhouse member Solar (who beat Rogue in the RO24) has canvassed the top Zerg minds of the EU scene, giving DRG additional access to forbidden knowledge. On the other hand, Rogue has had to scramble to find any kind of help, getting a "what's in it for me?" from Dark and a "you must be truly desperate to come to me for help" from frequent nemesis Scarlett. While Rogue's superior instincts and mechanics are noticeable in the match, DongRaeGu powers through on the back of well-planned builds and all-ins.

Improbable. But still plausible.

Love that part

I hope for the Upset, but I expect Rogue to crush our drerams, like he allways does

I'm a big Rogue Fan due to the fact that I'm a Zerg player. I wish both players best of luck! It's an interesting matchup. May the force be with you and the better one win.

Actually DRG is admitting that he watches every Serral match. Probably the only Korean pros that's humble enough to learn from the best. I bet he watched Serral vs Rogue series. Only tricks from Serral's book can help to handle Rogue. Tough call this one. Mind says Rogue, but my heart is with DRG just because him winning this GSL would be a great story, compared only to Serral winning Blizzcon.
