![[image loading]](http://gfx.mousesports.com/library/274/6102.png) Ever since his triumph at GSL and WCS as well as his hookup with mousesports, one of the premier StarCraft II teams worldwide, Baek „mouz Dear“ DongJun has been the center of attention for many fans. Looking forward to compete at as many Western tournaments as possible, Dear has been anything but sad about his new team, planning to perform well in his first tournament of 2014 in the red colors of mouz. The 19-year-old Korean Protoss player will attend the Asus ROG event in Finland and has been preparing well for the tournament. Obviously the young player is aiming for a good result to not only please his fans and his new team but also himself. Among not many critics, he might be his hardest one, as he always questions his ingame decisions to look for that tiny bit of improvement that could grant him victory in his next matchup. „My goal is win“, said Dear when asked about his expectations in Finland. „Recently I have been practising a lot, I want to get great result.“ After the Asus ROG tournament, Dear will head South to enjoy a two week long stay in Germany, home country of his new team mousesports. Dear will live and practice in Cologne, where the clubs mousesports and SK Gaming maintain an office and practice area, that has been home for former SK player MC a couple of times already. During his stay in Germany he will not only meet the man behind mousesports, CEO Cengiz Tüylü, but also his new teammates Dennis „mouz HasuObs“ Schneider and Gabriel „mouz HeroMarine“ Segat. HasuObs will head to Cologne especially to bootcamp with Dear to sharpen both players awareness and gaming skills. The Cologne-based HeroMarine will join them to build upon a good team chemistry. His English skills won’t be a problem, although he’s not feeling comfortable just yet, Dear thinks: „Even if I can’t speak English well, it will be funny time with [my new teammates].“ However, the Korean player is a bit afraid of a certain lack of practice time while staying in Germany, and although Dear has been away from home several times in his career already, this journey will mark his first longer stay in oversea. Before his departure he admitted that he somehow feels scared and he might not be in his most comfortable state throughout the next weeks, due to many new impressions. But having a well experienced player like HasuObs on his side, will certainly help him a lot. Dear’s trip to Germany will culminate in the attendance of Intel Extreme Masters event in Cologne from February 13th to 16th, 2014. He will be mousesports‘ second player to compete in the tournament, as reigning EPS Champion HeroMarine has already qualified for the main groupstage. The recent announcement of the „winner takes it all“ prize money policy for the IEM World Championship, is not a bad idea, according to Dear: „It is really a unique method for splitting prize money. It will make a difference and will be very interesting to watch.“ But just watching games never was an option for the ambitious Protoss player. Due to his great success in late 2013, Dear is one of the highest rated players when it comes to 2014 performance expectations, which will add an extra bit of pressure. „Last year I had a lot of confidence and I had nothing to lose. I played as best as I could, like I’m a real pro gamer. But now it is a bit different. A lot of players are on the same level now, even foreigners are also really good these days. That’s why I have some pressure but I won last year, this experience can help me with winning this year. I will win.“ Besides his journey, filled with lots of new impressions and hopefully success, Dear is very thankful to all his fans. „If I have no fans cheering for me, I don’t exist as a pro gamer.“ Having the audience chanting for him almost puts him in a kind of Hulk-a-mania state: „When fans cheer me loud, I want to win like crazy. I want to show them something I can enjoy together with them.“ One of his greatest memories up to date is the WCS Season 3 Final in Toronto last year: „I will never forget the people who cheered for me. I will always thank my fans.“ His fans can also expect Dear streaming in the next weeks. After his initial streaming session two weeks ago, he is looking to stream more often for his fans between tournaments. | ||
