I dislike the nickname.. 
But w/e - that guy's a freakin Vampire.. First time in my life seeing a Protoss holds every ridiculousness thrown at him - and - when Protoss is in his hands - Aiur doesn't fall.. Believe that the best matches were played vs HerO where Dear was on ropes muuultiple times, as well as the Maru games, and from the finals - G2.. In fact - the finals were really "ridiculous" where seemed like noone defended but both players were attacking each-other all the time.. Dear's a freakin beast.. If he was the Commander at Aiur back when the Overmind attacked - the Overmind would've gone back to char with a bruised eye.. 
If he plays like he played last night - then I really doubt that anyone else could win Blizzcon

Final 16 for WCS wtih 8T, 6P and 2Z looks a little bit disbalanced

awesome play by dear....aiur is very proud of u ♥
|
Nice writeup - it was indeed a lot better finals than the score suggests.
Would have really liked to see Dear vs NaNiwa - as improbable as it now looks - PvP seems to give Dear the most challenging matches.
Can't wait for the Blizzcon and its all-Bo5 format!

I'm watching the series between Dear and Maru, and I cant help but see similarities of 18 months ago when Parting and MKP were dueling off *happy sigh* such a great Game 1!

So wait wait wait !
Dear just accomplished what everyone thought Innovation would do in Season 1 ? (Back to back WCS KR + Global) Except the hype was like 1/1000th what it was for Innovation ?
That guy flies under the radar for sure !
Congratz Dear !

Perfect Play by Dear! He seems to be on fire recently. His serie against soulkey was so clean and perfect. Very cool to see a protoss win a tournament, I was worried god protosses have disapeared from the scene, here is the guy protoss were waiting for!
It will also shut down some QQ for some time which is great.
EDIT :
Final 16 for WCS wtih 8T, 6P and 2Z looks a little bit disbalanced
Never mind QQ is always there

clean sweep, didn't see this one comming

Every zotac monthly in HOTS has been won by zerg, "looks a little bit disbalanced".
See how easy that was?
On:
Gratz to Dear, a 2nd solid Protoss after Rain showed how it's done, but this guy is way more consistent so far.

Isn't OP just a bit disgraceful? He won GSL and the season finals, nothing else.

As far as I recall has every WCS season Grandfinals been a clean 4-0 for the winner?
Wcs season 1 : Innovation 4-0 sOs
Wcs season 2 : Bomber 4-0 Jaedong
Wcs season 3 : Dear 4-0 SK
I hope the Grand grand finals at blizzcon wont be like this.
Other then that. Happy for Dear. He played so solid.

Dear didn't get hyped enough by Artosis

I wonder whether Dear will be a consistently good player, or will end up like innovation, i.e. a player that's good for a few months but then gets figured out and has a hard time getting anywhere.
Either way, Blizzcon is looking promising with this level of play.

It's quite funny that the guy got warned for basically having an opinion. Though Dear might not come out of nowhere, he did not have any sc2 success besides being part of innovation winning proleague.
I was also stating all the time that he's a fluke, but I guess the outcome of this tournament proved me wrong. But a warning for this is simply wrong.

Ok, so being the solid protoss for the Proleague champion team is nowhere, being a rising rookie even back in BW is only lucky and not following SC2 gives you a legit position to criticise it. Ok.

lol, every wcs season finals was an 4-0 :D

Actually I'm pretty sure there's a rule against bullshit on TL. Bashing the game and spewing out a pile of bullshit isn't something you should do on this web site.
OT: Dear is insane. He looked a little shaky in the group stages but once the bracket stage came along, he looked almost unstoppable. His series against Maru was incredible and he definitely showcased all of his strenghts in full this tournament. Very impressed.

Dear vs Innovation is another story. I hope the two x-teammates meet at a tourney finals.
|
Let's just face it, there is no long player dominance in SC2.Period.
