I cannot imagine the amount of mental strength it must've taken to win 3 straight games, and play the hell out of a 4th, after being down 0-3 and losing those in the way that he did. Nobody can say that series wasn't close. Though I would've loved for DRG to win in the end, he impressed me more tonight than he ever has.

am I the only one that teared up when the korean crowd started to chant DRG's name? MMA might have won the trophy but DRG definitely won everyone's heart

Wow, I shoulda signed up a really long time ago. DRG, Boxer, and MMA all have something rather unique in common in SC2:+ Show Spoiler +

to turn around an 0-3 situation to a 3-3, but fall in the final set (MMA in GSTL Feb and Boxer vs Idra @ MLG). It's not the best possible distinction (as opposed to winning outright) but DRG was closer than anyone to making the full reverse, as close as that last game was.

Great comeback. Don't fault yourself on losing one of the most epic final games of a series of all of sc2. You played well and it's only a matter of time before you get your GSL title

You brought an amazing comeback, and that was great. I was moved.

But win it next year! Against your rival MMA.

Even though you lost, that was the most amazing show of heart and perseverance i have ever seen. I was debating what liquid player i would dedicate my 500th post toward but honestly this has to be it.

I have become a fan for life. Everyone should have your attitude and competitive spirit and it inspires me to apply that to aspects of my own life. Goodluck next year in GSL you will dominate and it will not be a question of if you will win a title, but how many you can take.

WP. Best. Series. Ever.

Didn't matter that you loose. That was just mind blowing, better than anything I have seen out of Nestea

DRG played amazingly well. He had is mindset focus even thou he's down on 3-0. He even chased it up to 3-3, I got nerdchills and surprisingly I had some tears on my eye. Hope to see the best of DRG in 2012! DRG FIGHTING!
