Complexity sends DongRaeGu, Noblesse to MLG Raleigh
CompLexity announced today that Soo Ho "DongRaeGu" Park and Doh Joon "Noblesse" Chae will be attending Major League Gaming (MLG) Raleigh under the coL.MVP tag later this month. Noblesse takes the place of Min Soo "Genius" Jung as Genius is still active in the Global Starcraft League (GSL) August Code S tournament and is focusing on that competition.
Noblesse qualified for Code S for the first time this season, although he failed to advance from his group, losing to MLG Anaheim champion JongHyeon "MVP" Jeong and GSL Super Tournament champion Sung Hoon "Polt" Choi. His Code S debut was not a complete failure for the MVP Terran; he managed to knock two-time GSL champion Min Chul "MC" Jang to the up-and-down matches.
Like Noblesse, DongRaeGu was eliminated from GSL August. The MVP Zerg lost a close 2-1 match to the Protoss from Team SCV Life, Jin Young "JYP" Park. Noblesse will brave the Open Bracket, but DongRaeGu earned enough MLG rank points with his 5th place finish at MLG Anaheim to qualify for pool play. The Zerg will battle Paul-David "SLush" Page, Kyung Hyun "SeleCT" Ryoo, Dario "TLO" Wunsch, and Ki Soo "Tester" Seo in Pool C.
The CompLexity and MVP partnership originally only included DongRaeGu and Genius, but the deal was left open ended with the possibility of other players participating. Noblesse is the first such player.

Ooh... hope Noblesse does well.

Oh sick. from the games i've watched from Noblesse, he is pretty sick. Dr.G needs no explanation
|
Really starting to become a fan of Complexity.
|
|
I was about to ask if DRG could get into code A if he places highly enough since he's no longer an "invite" - then I remembered he's already in code A :p Still could get code S though.
EDIT: And now I remember that it was "no Koreans" rather than "no invites" for the code A prize.
|
good luck for them! really like noblesse, cool nick
|
Wait, I read earlier that Dongraegu declined his spot...
Who's right? This post or that post?

Nice move by complexity sending Noblesse in the place of Genius :D
|

No Guineapig makes me sad ;;
Will The MVP slayer (Thorzain) attend? ^_^ If Mouz sent him and Mana would it be sick

Sweet. Noblesse Fighting! Also interesting to see the previously invited Koreans get into the pools the traditional way too.

Who's right? This post or that post? Mvp declined his spot, DRG is participating on the strength of his own points, rather than an invitation.

why not Genius? he's part of the contract with Col anyway?

Hes still active in this seasons GSL, Same reason Mvp and NesTea declined.

I'm really excited to see how Nobelesse does. Seeing him go from code A to code S has really shown me his progress over the past 3 months.

Aw man, if Keen had lost in the Ro32, he probably would have come
Noblesse is really good, though. Wouldn't be shocked at all if he makes it through the open bracket easily if he doesn't run into another Korean.
|
|
Noblesse is a nice surprise, hope we get to see some of his games.
I'd also LOVE to see Guineapig at an MLG in the future though.
|
cmon DRG, there're no SlayerS this time so grab your code S spot :D

We'll never get NesTea then will we?

I wanted Keen also. Such a moral dilemma for fans of Korean players. We want them to advance in the GSL, but that means they won't come to MLG.
|
Huge fan of complexity. Love what theyre doing
|
I'll fly to Raleigh just for DongRaeGu
|
Ah pity. DRG is awesome to have an a great addition to Raleigh. Nobellese... well I am hoping he gets crushed for multiple reasons.
To be more specific, I rather not see another finals like MLG Anaheim.
Gogo DRG!
|
|
Originally I wasn't very impressed by Noblesse, but then he beat MC. Best of luck to him!
|
Scary going to get to see DRG playing in another foreign tournament.
|
what all koreans are participating in MLG raleigh?
|
Thank you so much for sending DRG, love seeing him play. Complexity. <3
|
This is possibly DongRaeGu's time to shine. But he'll probably need to work on his ZvZ a lot more just in case he runs into a beast in the form of CoCa during the championship bracket.
|
"Dr. G" I like that name, hope it sticks :D
|
Wow so epic, gonna be a sick MLG
|
Cool. That makes it what, 8 koreans in total? Number seems to be going up each MLG.
|
Hell yeah Complexity, that's the flexibility I was hoping for.
|
big probs to CoL !!!!!!!!!!!

DRG really wants that Code S spot. I hope he gets it.
|
LoL i really think they did this just to get DRG another shot at code S.
|
Looking forward to seeing Noblesse play! DRG would benefit from having a teammate there as well.
Does anyone know if Boxer is going to Raleigh?
|
"Dr.G" holy shit, what a sick nerd baller name. ;D
