You are disappointed. Forever 2nd. You don't give up. You practice hard, you practice harder. In VODS of the Prime house interview, I never even saw him raise his head once. Just kept practicing, kept practicing, you have to do well.
World Championship now, RO4. And you lose 2 embarrassing games. Very very embarrassing games, in front of the whole world, millions watching. If it was me, I wouldn't just cry, I'll probably go kill myself. The amount of effort, the pressure, and you get raped like a child in front of millions, defenseless and countered at every turn. Then you tell yourself you didn't make it this far to give up, you have to win, you WILL win.
Then you win three FANTASTIC games in a row when the rest of the world believed you to choke and die. You believed you'll choke and die.
You are overwhelmed.
People don't realize that many of these pro players are just kids. They are teenagers/young players trying to prove themselves. Even in other professional sports scene, older players will break under the amount of pressure.
Why can't he cry? This isn't a game to him. This is probably more than life and death to them. That is the kind of attitude that makes you better.

Just awsome! It's so...real(?).There is no word to described it... ^^
