2011 GSL Blizzard Cup -- The End

2011 GSL Blizzard Cup -- The End

Last weekend, GOMtv’s 2011 GSL season was sent off in epic fashion in what is being called one of the greatest series in StarCraft II history. Park “DongRaeGu” Soo Ho and Moon “MMA” Sung Won fueled the fire beneath their growing rivalry, as the two squared off for the title of 2011’s Blizzard Cup Champion.

MMA, fresh off a 3-0 victory over Mvp in the semis, looked to extend his winning streak and close out the competition early. Riding the wave of his momentum, MMA opened strong, crushing through his opponent to take an early 3-0 lead in the best of 7 series. However, the ever-improving and always determined DongRaeGu was not going down without a fight. Showing MMA that he was in the finals for a reason, DongRaeGu held strong and pulled out 3 consecutive wins to tie the series.

With the GSL Championship on the line, both players pushed themselves to their limits to close out this epic series. When the smoke cleared, only one player remained. After a 40 minute, action-packed match, MMA held off an impressive assault from DonRaeGu , securing his victory and earning the Blizzard Cup Trophy!

Please join us in congratulating the 2011 GSL Blizzard Cup Champion, SlayerS’ MMA!

Emotional viewers beware, the content and epicness of these games may make you cry. Simply put, this has got to be the most epic 7 game final I have ever seen, and the last game is jaw dropping. To say I regret for a moment staying up all night to watch this series live would be an utter lie.

I've been playing starcraft for a long time, and this series was just perfect. To see Boxer's student, MMA, take such such a close victory and a near comeback from DRG just felt good. Also, getting to still listen to tasteless commentate the matches after all these year was fulfilling. Perhaps the greatest moment in starcraft history.

After a year of disappointing GSL Code S finals, with the results mostly being 4-0 and 4-1 in overwhelming fashion (only one finals ended with 4-2), it's great to see that the final of the GSL finals ended in a fantastic way. Game 7 was everything it was meant to be. That match itself was exciting, and it was more exciting by the story of the previous six games.

You could argue that the first six games of the series were not strategically mind-blowing, but the series as a whole was by far the best. It tells its own story like no other.

After watching that last game, which was amazing, snipe needs a nerf. If ghost were out, it would have been a boring win for MMA

So glad I stayed up to watch this live, I remember talking to my friend while watching and saying how amazing it would be if DRG managed to comeback after he went down 3-0. Almost happened, that last game seriously just made everything worth it 10000x more, great job gomTV and Blizzard.

Was so worth staying up to watch these! Really hoped DRG would make the comeback. Was amazed he was able to keep his cool in game 4 and hold off that scary helion marauder attack.

That game was incredible. I can't believe how great that was. More than makes up for some one sided GSL finals in the past.

@King: He is just upset DRG didn't play that well in the finals. He made terrible decisions. Also, MMA is amazing and has accomplished alot more then DRG with half the ego.
