With the amount of devoted fans we have here on TL.net, I think it's about time we have a solid support group community in case our favorite players have an off day and bum out of a tournament. Posting your disappointment in a player's fan club does not seem appropriate. Those threads are meant to support the players. This thread is meant to support the fans.
This support group is for everyone. Players will lose. Fans will be depressed. The hurt you are feeling will heal. The players you love will be back soon. But in the mean time...
Feel free to pour your heart out here. We won't judge!
And Leenock! Surely an awesome, if small group of zerg players. July has his own unique style of "I crush you with my overwhelming zerg army at any point in the game" which I consider comparable to MC or Maru of their respective races.

Sucks being so emotionally invested in something. But I guess deep down, I knew days like these would come....just didn't expect it to be so soon.
I feel ya bro. I was a huge DRG before he was GSL champ (no hipster) since I played Zerg and he played Zerg, and he was such a charming fellow. But since Zerg is such a volatile race I decided to switched over to Random on ladder.
It's funny, when I was Zerg I would say to myself whenever I played against Terran that "Oh Terran ez pz a-move race cuz marine mule marauder stim OP" or against Protoss "Oh Protoss ez pz FFE and a-move with 200/200 deathball"
but ever since i started playing Random I found that Terran requires a tremendous amount of macro and micro and as a Protoss, your forcefield control makes or break you before the late game.
Since then, I've came to appreciate not just Zerg pros, but Terran and Protoss pros as well.
I am not saying you need to play Random. But by expanding your horizon and try different races you might find undiscovered treasures that you might otherwise never be able to just by sticking to one race.
With that being said, DRG FIGHTING!!!! COME BACK TO CODE S BABY
Its like i watch ST_Squirtle play or Liquid`HerO play and i get emotionally invested in them lol. To a lesser extent, PartinG and Sage, but i feel like a forum should exist for this kind of sad QQ, like and SC2 general thread .
I'm sorry for everyone who felt the pangs of defeat. I know this feeling several times in BW cheering for Jaedong when he just somehow couldn't get past Flash.

This thread is surely needed on TL. Shouldn't be a blog.
I have to say, this is a pretty brilliant thread. I agree that it shouldn't be relegated to blogs where it will forever die off. I think it's a thread that could really be needed in TL. The danger is just other fanboys coming in to lick the tears of the defeated, but mods should be able to help with that.
I know exactly how you feel Neo. I felt the same way when Flash's unbeaten streak this season was ended. It made me not want to watch any Brood War for over a week.

It never goes away, it just gets a little easier to fight back the tears every day.
Omg that's so sad!
Well DRG will still be around, he still has the Arena at MLG and hopefully Anaheim. I really wish he comes to Anaheim....I really want to see him again.
Oh and if you guys think this does not belong in blogs, perhaps we can petition it to be moved to TL Community...who knows.
I've been depressed since Jaedong stopped being godlike and became a mere mindblowingling good human. Rainbowsheep is sad. Flash must feel so alone at the top now TT

The good ol' days when Jaedong was king. I sure miss that. T_T

no DRG in vegas T_T
this week is freaking killing me.
I feel ya bro. Seems like DRG still hasn't recovered from those loses 2 days ago yet. Without him carrying the MVP banner, even Genius can't save them. So sad
I feel bad for mvp fans genius in particular after seeing how just utterly crushed he looked in the booth when he lost that game, he was crying...I felt bad T_T
Genius felt responsible... It's a terrible feeling that you let everyone down. I think the entire team knew that Dongraegu's been having a terrible week, so they let him play early, so there would be less pressure on him. But doing so, meant that they needed someone else to be the closer. I'm sure the obvious choice was Genius...and Genius, himself, knew he had to pull through for his team. But alas, Genius is no DRG... It's tough.
The saddest scene was when Genius was crying...and DRG had to comfort him... broke my heart.... T_T
Dammit MKP totally metagamed Parting in the regame. He knew Parting was teching right after the templar defense...so he just ram units in over and over... regame was so unfair.
Sorry to post in an "old" thread, but I just need to share my pain. This weekend I was cheering so hard for SaSe at Red Bull LAN. Of course he did great and it is no shame in losing to the guy who won the whole tournament, but still it kind of broke my heart so badly to not see him come out on top. To finally get the big win. He is such a great player, really surprised every time I see him lose.
I know he will rise again though, like he did in WC3, I guess he is still kind of "young" in the SC2 scene still. Really looking forward to see him release the beast within and take the big wins!

Sase is one of those guys who even Koreans are afraid of in practice, but somehow he hasn't brought in much results. We're not sure if it's nerves or just bad luck. I wish him the best in the future. Being a fan is hard
I don't really understand why I become so emotionally involved when I follow tournaments like this. But right now I actually feel my heart ache for real. I didn't even watch the game, and I don't even know if it was casted because I was watching Naniwa vs Dimaga when I found out + Show Spoiler +
SaSe had fallen 0-2 against fraer
.
My heart is beating like crazy and I am just so incredibly sad. Would have given the world to see him advance and get his final break through. It feels like it is just around the corner, he is so strong and hard working. The kind of player who deserves so much more than he gets.
Today us fanboys mourn in peace, but we all know he will rise from this and come back stronger than ever! We got faith!
EDIT:
Another bit of my heart just died /goes cry in a corner
I watched Sase live at MLG. The guy's freaking amazing, winning all those matches with barely any sleep. When he was done, he could barely stand up, but he stayed to sign autographs for the fans. Sase is an incredible person, it's unfortunate that his victory day will have to wait a little longer.
Was gutted that HuK didn't make the rouind of 8 at Dreamhack. He was leading the group 2-0 and then when I checked an hour or two later he was gone and Stephano and sLivko had made it through...
Also really gutted that HerO and TaeJa had to play each other at the round of 8 - same team, two of only three Koean's left in the tournament... rough.
i was so sad when hero lost to mana in such a nail-biting PvP. there were mistakes on both sides, but that essentially-base-race scenario on daybreak in g3 was just so ugly... I was so frustrated and wanted to cry afterwards even though I was at my internship =___________=. Ughh... And I had to wolf my lunch down really fast just so I could make it back in time to see the series... And after the series ended I just felt really sick and frustrated.
At least Mana won the tournament so it's not like Hero lost to "a random player," but I really wanted to see Hero on stage winning the tournament. D: I miss his Dreamhack win last year~~

Thank you! And yes, SaSe seems like an awesome guy. Not only is he so incredibly hard working and dedicated, but he also seem to be genuinely nice and caring. Even though his big victory has not yet come, I know the day will come when he rise above everyone else You are a very lucky man who were able to watch him play live! But I gotta say, seeing everything you do for the community your weekend at MLG was very well deserved!
Mvp... I swear, last year August to November, his path of glory... so beautiful to see...
GSL, his Ro16 group was SOOO favorable to him... HomeStory Cup, he had such a good chance to win it all... At least he made it past his OSL group
How can you hate this guy? His GSL run last season was the perfect underdog story. How is he capable of pulling off a perfect underdog story AND a perfect champion story, while continuously winning? I feel that he has the greatest potential of any progamer, but his medical conditions get worse by the day.
Iron Squid, he had a solid shot of winning too! GSL Season 1... he mindgames his groups and loses...
It's so heartbreaking, he's the destined champion, I want to see what he's capable of!
Last night my heart broke once again. Seeing both SaSe and NaNiwa not being able to qualify for WCS Europe to represent their homecountry made me want to cry. I know they are both so much better than what we saw of them. Something seemed so off, probably nerves or some distractions. Not to take anything away from Thorzain, Seiplo or SortOf, all amazing players of course, but God my heart and soul are in so much pain now, bleeding for SaSe and NaNiwa.
haha...you made the support group for DRG and were really sad again when MC defeated him to advance to the finals, but it was my turn the day before yesterday to be devastated that MC lost in the GSL finals T__T
And I come here again. As heartbreaking it is to see Naniwa losing, what makes it a zillion times worse is to see all the shit he gets from the community when he has bad days. Oh my how I want this guy to one day prove all the haters wrong and rise up to win something big again. Preferably a GSL as the first none-Korean.
DRG WHAT IN THE FUCKING FUCK IS GOING ON??? AHHH. Hes making so many mistakes that you never see from him recently and his play hasnt been good at all. Im so concerned especially with OSL and season 4 starting. Get yo shit together please.
well that map pool was ridiculous. everyone knew he didn't stand a chance with 2x ohana and 2 x entombed. It's amazing that he made it to the finals playing on shit maps to be honest.
Hello, my name is Kasaraki, and today my favourite player lost (Seed), my favourite team (LG-IM) went 0/5 in the first round of Code A, including the player whose fanclub I maintain (First) - but even worse than all of those things, Mvp, King JJ, the King of Wings, the Game Genie Terran, fell out of the GSL, into Code B, with all his teammates. It seems the end of WoL will be a painful one. For some teams and players, this might be an opportunity to start practicing HotS, but for IM this is a huge blow. Why? Because they have a lot of WoL tournaments and events in the future - the big one being IPTL quarterfinals against EG, which they should win, and if they do, they will have a ton of players on top of the already qualified YongHwa attending the big IPL6 tournament - a WoL tournament. They have IEM WC too, and perhaps a MLG somewhere? So there's no room for a HotS headstart even in all the bad news - and even while practicing WoL, there's no guarantee of it bearing any fruit in form of results.
Apart from this, I am a person of habit and a person who wants there to be a legacy - like many other people I wish to see the great players be consistent, and with us always. I dislike randomness, I don't often like underdogs or new players either. On top of this I like racial variety, I don't have a favourite race. To me, Mvp was the head of terran - not only symbolically, but literally. The only terran to be in a GSL final for the entirety of 2012 was Mvp. He was so dominating that the terrans without a leader look silly and disoriented, like a dying race.
Sometimes I like to compare Mvp to Tetsou from Akira. Not in personality, but specifically with regard to his body. Both are people you could think of as having psychic/mental powers beyond us mere mortals. Tetsou's powers grow so strong they expand beyond the confines of his body. For Tetsou, this results in his body mutating hideously, absorbing the sorrounding objects and people to expand his physical form. For Mvp, his great powers simple caused his body to break down. Both bodies destroyed because of immense psychic powers. Throughout 2012, Mvp played purely through this psychic potential, with his body gone. But now, his willpower isn't strong enough to carry the weakened body in constant pain. For Tetsou, the end comes in the form of a giant explosion, after which he seems to go to a higher plane of existance/gain a higher understanding, through fusing with the psychic children. For Mvp, will the end be slowly fading away, while we are left wondering about what could have been?
It's been a tough week on a lot of us. DRG and Mvp gone from code S Another GSL ruined TT
I regret paying so much money for it already...
Don't worry about Mvp's legacy. It will be remembered for generations. He is and will always be the greatest Wings of Liberty player that ever walked this planet.
