I think it's crazy that he feels abandoned by his fans.. I'm an almost GM zerg and my zerg buddies a nd I all have the greatest respect for him. I saw your very first broadcast games and when I did I knew I was seeing a different / better kind of zerg than we had previously been shown in Wings of Liberty. His ZvT was sweeping every top Terran by storm at the time and I studied him religiously to become a better player. It was very helpful and to this day there is no zerg I have learned more from than DRG. I tell people that you are the one true dong, even though it hurts the jaedong fan in me. I just know that it is true! I subscribe to reddit.com/r/onetruedong where we worship you on reddit. Here's a picture of me at a barcraft with your face being projected onto my sweatshirt because I love you and I wanted someone to take that picture for me xD ![]() Weeeee I am one of your top fans and that will always be the way of things! You should stream some more. Haha, just after I finished saying that, I started paying attention to your stream which I have popped out right now. First time watching you on Dailymotion :o. You have a very strong fan base who believes in you and we're always cheering for you; don't be silly! I have made it a point to try to watch every single one of your games since the beginning fo your career and I am as excited to see you now as I was then. And I'm a fan of team MVP largely because of you. You stand out not only in skill but as a much welcomed sense of personality that is pretty endearing as far as pro gamers go. I think you have always worn your passion on your sleeve a little more than most people, and it's really engaging. We can feel your determination and the intensity of your skill and attitude. It shows that you are different. When you lose I feel crushed with you, and when you succeed all the way I feel so much joy for you. I know it's long overdue right now but I believe it can happen because you're the best zerg in the world ![]() DongRaeGu Fighting!! | ||

![]() Project Ended 4/20/2013 Thank you everyone who participated in this event. ![]() 박수호 @MVPDongRaeGu ![]() So he's back to his old happy self, full of energy and determination to tackle the challenges ahead (GSTL/TeamStory/Code A/OSL). A few days ago, DRG was even spotted streaming some matches for fans and had this hilarious run-in with RootDrewbie in the chatroom: [00:41] <ROOTdrewbie> DRG u zot bob ssibal [00:41] <@DRG> kkkkkk [00:41] <@DRG> wtf drewbie [00:41] <@DRG> get out [00:41] <@DRG> chobo [00:41] <+DRGisAwesome> lol [00:41] <ROOTdrewbie> LOL [00:41] <@neoghaleon55_> lmao [00:41] <TFS> LOL So whether it's apparent or not, I want to let you know that your support has made a significant impact on his mentality and outlook. Cheers matter. Fan support matters. Remember that we are eSports and fans are a critical cornerstone to how it all works. On a personal note, When I started this thread over a week ago, I had doubts that it would gain much support. I almost regretted posting it immediately because I was afraid of looking foolish. But you guys came in and out poured so much genuine love for this player when he was down. The experience has taught me not to let fear stop me from doing what I'm passionate about: supporting esports and my favorite players. So thank you. <3 The best cheers in this thread has been picked. The decision was made by us peeps who run DRG's fan club. Our runner up is Lumi, who will receive a GSL mouse pad. ![]() Lumi was the last person to submit a cheer before the project ended, and it was one of the best ones. This cheer is just oozzzzzing with fandom! I love it! http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=407437¤tpage=4#68 Finally.... I want to congratulate Promethelax for having the best cheer! I have known Promethelax to be a long time, dedicated fan. Last year during our art-book project, he contributed two artworks for DRG. His cheer this year is unique in that it was very personal. After reading it, I definitely left with insight as to why he felt such a strong connection to this player, the sort that makes people very loyal, passionate fans. For his efforts and courageous post, Promethelax will receive an MVP Goliathus Mouse Pad purchased from Teamliquid.net sent to his house. Here's his winning post: On April 12 2013 12:04 Promethelax wrote: 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! ![]() Thanks everybody! You guys are the best! #starcraftisnotdying | ||
