When you were down 0-3, I thought for a slight moment "It's 5 AM, I'm tired, down 0-3 with terran favored maps coming up..."

But I stayed up regardless because I wanted to see you/MMA close it out. Even though you lost, one of the greatest comebacks in 2011/SC2. DRG you're the man, no other zerg could've had the mental fortitude and skill to make that even remotely close.

Go DRG! 2012!

Oh ya, and sign me up

I was an MMA fan before the match, and now I'm a DRG and MMA fan. That comeback was pure and utter badassery. What a great display of mental fortitude. I felt so bad for him when he lost - neither player deserved a second place that night.

I love MMA and I have been his fan forever, but DRG showed amazing calmness and mental fortitude when he was down 0-3. Very impressed, gogo DRG you have a bright future.

I am so glad I voiced my request to be added to the fan club before this match. Yes, DRG lost the Blizzard-Cup finals, but he lost it in a way that I gained even greater respect for him.

DongRaeGu down 0-3 and just one game away from being out? Most pro gamers would probably give up and just break, but DRG did come back to 3-3 and then delivered an outrageously impressive performance in the deciding match.

I am sad that many matches are overhyped, because the hype effect wears down quickly. This series and especially the last game was truly insane.

Such great finals, not many players have the mental capability to remain strong after such devastating losses in the first 3 games. Amazing comeback, nearly won that game. But MMA, man, how do you even think of something like sending 2 siegetanks across the map to target DRG's last mining base when your own base is being sieged by broodlords? So impressive by both players.

I actually feel so bad for DRG. he shouldve had that game. I almost cried even though I was 9/10's the way sleep. DRG played so well after game 3 and I believe he had such an amazing performance. I hate zerg players with all my hear but please, add me to the DRG fan club

I thought it was really awesome the crowd chanting his name at the end. He showed great poise and competitiveness and the crowd recognized him for it. GG's DRG!

Amazing finals, even knowing the results (a mate told me) I was sure DRG was going to win, an amazing set and something to be proud of. Here's hoping DRG for the first 2012 GSL champion.

How am I not part of his fan club? I've liked DRG since team MVP joined the team league.

DongRaeGu, I just watched the Blizzard Cup Finals a bit late.

I had not gotten anything spoiled, so I cheered for you from game 1 to game 7. When you lost the three first, my mood sank so deep, but then you regained some AMAZING confidence, and then took game after game. I was completely wild when there score became 3-3, and I knew that you were gonna CRUSH MMA.

Then when he pushed with tanks on the high ground, and had the middle of the map completely controlled, I started to worry again. Then when you broke his defense I just laughed out lout (at 3:00 AM) and got my hopes up for real!

However, it didn't go as I had hoped, but I thought: "This was still the best finals by FAR, that I had ever seen". I'm CERTAIN that you will win the GSL many times next year! You have lots of dedicated fans supporting you!

Good luck!
