I had to pay Seeker to get this one out...But hey, "if you're good at something...never do it for free."Source: This Is Game First off, I am glad that I got to receive the NesTea award. I am glad that I was the Zerg player to receive this award right behind NesTea hyung. I received a last chance so I am also relieved.I reviewed my past games and I was able to notice that I tend to focus way too much on my opponent’s style. So I just focused on what my opponents’ races were going to be and then prepared as if I was playing on ladder so that I could just play the macro game that I wanted to play. I decided to prepare a macro game along with the thought that I would play as safely as possible.My compositions were just as I had planned from before. But I think that map Anaconda is rather advantageous for Protoss. He already had sentries waiting next to his giant wall. And then I knew that things were going to get difficult after he quickly grabbed his second expansion. I grabbed the advantage because I made him chase my army as I forced the game into an elimination race.I practiced with only an expansion but there was no efficiency coming from the second hatch. Whirlwind is such a large map that a triple hatch all-in works well. I got pushed back a little during the beginning but I didn’t lose a lot of drones so I was able to progress onwards advantageously. I tried out several different things that followed the trend, but they just didn’t fit me. So I did my best to play my style. It’s hard for Protoss to follow if you switch up your system.Things got twisted up because his hellions came in unnoticed. I have no idea just how many drones I gave up to his hellbats. I noticed a three rax all-in coming with my overseer. I had a feeling that I would be fine as long as I blocked it and tried to follow-up. I figured that I would be in an advantage as long as I blocked his hellion/hellbat composition.I really hope that I can advance to the semi-finals for this season so I can qualify for the season finals. And then my final goal will be to secure my spot in the global finals. I hope I can finish off this path I’m on well since I pulled of the first step well.I think Super has grown into the best Protoss player, and I think Dream is just as good as INnoVation. And KeeN is doing really well too so I’m expecting us to establish a great result. These days, it feels like I’m the one being carried (laughs).It motivated me so much. I tend to taunt KeeN and Dream a lot in the team house but they got to Premier League ahead of me so the situation was not good (laughs).I want to thank our sponsors Lotte Chilsung and Razer. I want to thank everyone that cheered me on. Duckdeok won this season’s WCS Europe, but I noticed that he had been losing interest in the game as of late and that he was struggling a lot with it. I am thinking that he was able to find his for the game again with the WCS EU championship. I want to thank Super for helping me with practice, and I want to wish Swagger hyung the best of luck in his Up/Down matches tomorrow. Even though it probably won’t be easy, I hope he somehow finds luck and makes it out. Lastly, I want to thank my parents back at home for always praying for me.Definition: NesTea Award is customary prize awarded to any player who plays in GSL Code S for 10 times in a row.

WCS Season 2 OSL did not count towards Nestea Award due to not being a Code S tournament.-During February to March of 2013, DongRaeGu got really fat and bad at Starcraft II.

Oh comon, DRG, you're doing much better now than ever in 2013.

Gotta keep going.

Results will improve if you don't give up.





By the way, I make fun of you being fat a lot, but it looks like you lost weight.

You look good again.

Be happy.

:D



Yes. I lost my weight about 20 pounds compare March in this year Yes. I lost my weight about 20 pounds compare March in this year

-Plotting DRG's weight against his starcraft skills will give an inverse linear relation with regression r^2 value of 0.998.-He has since lost weight and is now good at Starcraft again.-Coach Choi still thinks DRG is a little fat:
