Or worse: whine about imbalance x.x
But anyone who watched the games knows that DRG just played like shit compared to what he's capable of, which makes me sad as a fan of his The other players just simply performed better today, but I'm hoping that DRG comes right back
To those complaining about DRG's performance against the Terrans:
I could only watch him play against TheStc and couldn't catch his match against Taeja - and I knew he was in trouble. He was making very uncharacteristic mistakes: - In set2 against TheStc, his reactions were slow (e.g. mutalists were unattended). - His drone splits were less than stellar and he was lucky to survive the runby. - There were many other examples as well.
This goes to show that if you're not in tip-top condition, you are going to be punished.
I hope after seeing the last few days, people will begin to appreciate how good players like MVP and MMA are to make it to top 4 (MVP) and top 8 (MMA) three seasons in a row. The skill level is so close that one off day or one great day from your opponents can mean instant knockout.
I'm telling you, DRG is having girl troubles. That's the only thing that could throw a genius like him off his game. Remember how he demolished nerds at mlg winter arena even though he was massively jetlagged? I'm calling issues with his girlfriend!
NOOOO DRG finished last?! WTF, and he plays revival in a zvz where anything can happen! Please don't fall to code b! The first round of groups is so punishing for a player who has a bad day. Though even before his losses to MKP, his zvt wasn't as dominating as it was in the past and in previous GSTLs.

Can anyone tell me how were the DRG games?
To be frank, his games today weren't half as good as his MLG games just a couple days ago. Jetlag, tired, whatever the reason was, DRG was the worst in his group today, and he deserved to be knocked out.
But I believe he'll bounce back stronger than ever next season. Would love to see a GSL final between DRG and MKP again
