Why am I a fan of DRG you ask? Well, I’d be happy to tell you. I am a fan of DRG because he is simply the best thing to happen to me as a starcraft fan. Let me explain.

I was a peripheral fan of professional bw, I watched a few games and enjoyed them. I played a bit of bw but was never that good; I was too young to really fall in love with the depth of the game. But when I was eighteen SCII came out. I had just dropped out of high school, I had some spare time. I needed a hobby to keep me out of trouble. Along came wings of liberty, reminding me how much I loved competitive gaming. I played a little, and I watched pro games. I saw TLO play the beta and his play inspired me. I played a bit but when I went to college I didn’t get internet in my dorm. I stopped playing, stopped watching. Starcraft was replaced by drinking. I didn’t play the game I loved more than once or twice that year.
The next year, my girlfriend and I moved out of the dorms, we got a place, basically a broom closet that barely fit out bed and my computer desk. I played again. The game was new to me again. I loved every minute of it. And I started watching professional games again. Staying up until 6 in the morning for the games to start. In early 2012 I promised myself I’d watch every game of the GSL. I didn’t manage every game but I did get to watch many of them, my grades suffered but I didn’t care. I had a new love. I watched a man, a boy my age, playing starcraft like I had never seen it played. I watched DRG crush player after player with styles I could hardly believe. In the RO4 he played against GuMiHo in one of the best series I had ever witnessed.

On March third I stayed up all night, I watched the finals. I remember the MVP coach was online in the gomtv chat, I told him this was the first gsl final I had ever watched. That I was watching it for DRG and he thanked me. Replying to me in the swirls of text that flashed through those old gom chats, he thanked me personally for being there to cheer for DRG. I thought it was the coolest thing ever.

I watched DRG win that gsl. I watched him become the best player in the world. I am a DRG fan. I will always be a DRG fan. He brought me back my passion for Starcraft. My love of the game and he reminded me that SCII is an art form, akin to a dance that is beautiful to watch. Every time I see DRG play I cheer for him (even against Liquid, my favourite team) last time Neo ran a DRG cheerful contest I drew DRG a swarmhost, to remind him of greater things to come. I stayed up the other night to cheer for him against YoDa and against Flying. I watched him until the final GG, sure that he could win and bring himself another championship. I was sure that DRG would reach those greater things I had promised him with that swarmhost, and though he didn’t achieve them in this gsl I am still confident that DRG can, and will, become a champion again.

DRG is my favourite player, a wonderful persona and an inspiration. As always: DRG fighting!
