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

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.

Except the world championships might have a little more importance then some random monthly cup.

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.

Not surprised to be honest, but still happy! Not only for Dear but also for team SouL, such a victory is important when you´ve lost your main sponsor. Plus, although I am not a protossplayer, I feel like this is quite fair considering that there were only two protosschampions in the history of SC2. At the most important tournaments...

Really sad i missed the RO4! Impressed Dear won both the korean finals last weekend and then the combined finals this weekend! Also happy to see such a great crowd! Swedish and canadian crowds are the sickest!

Don't know if someone else pointed it out already, but in game 1 recap, you wrote that dear dropped zealots from a warpprism into dears main.

Nice writeup otherwise.

I hate to play against protoss on ladder too but can't say anything negative about Dear victory. His victory was clean and he show a very solid play with a lot of different strategies so it was very fun to watch and he is very talented!

I hope that blizzcon will be less one sided and that someone can confront Dear and oppose him some kind of resistance! Maybe bomber scv train will do the trick who knows! He is clearly one of the favourite for the blizzcon now

Let's just face it, there is no long player dominance in SC2.Period.


The game hasn't been out longer than 6 months and you want "long player dominance"?
Broodwar had 10 years for "long player dominance", just give it the time already
Another clue to my existence.

Congrats Dear! awesome performance this weekend. Maru vs Dear was the series of the tournament!


As much as I want a Terran to win. It was very frustrating to see Maru refuse to make ghosts. As such he didn't deserve to win. I think Maru's TvT was by far more impressive than his TvP.


It's simply a style of play, it's exactly how I play my TvP. You forego ghosts and instead use a ton of multi pronged attacks with constant pressure. You can't afford ghosts if you want to do this style. You also have to go light on the vikings too. Goal is to have your units super spread out and be efficient in small numbers and just pick the opponent apart. And he damn well near did it successfully vs Dear too.


Defending that style is so fucking hard. In the entire world, only Dear and maybe Rain could have survived what Maru was doing in those games.


This is so true ! and maru style looks like how mkp plays it ..

Dear showed that he could survive and wont crack on the hyperaggressive drop-happy ghostless style ..

i still yet have to see if Dear can survive top tier ghost utilizers like taeja and jakji

I guess we'll find out in a few weeks because Dear is playing TaeJa in the first round of Blizzcon. I know Blizzcon is supposed to be stacked but it's still hard to believe some of the first round matches are only happening in the Ro16


Yeah I'm a bit surprised that they're not going for groups, gsl style or otherwise. I guess it's in order to show every match, but I would have loved to see at least two matches from most of these players.

Hahaha, I stand by the statement, but I'd love to be proven wrong! It would make me interested in sc2 all over again

I really dislike most Protoss players (to much coin flip and gimmicky stuff) but Dear was quite entertaining to watch. I hope he stays at the top for a long time! Congratulations !

Dear vs Maru g1 is what I want to see more in SC2. It's a 20-minute back and forth game where Maru hit 200 supply for 1 second and Dear never did. It was reminiscent of most BW games where never side could hit the supply cap because of non-stop battles. 200/200 battles in SC2 are so boring.

User was warned for this post



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.

Wong place to complain about this stuff, take it to website feedback.

Dear played fantastic. I was on top of my seat although there was no Terran playing.
Countdown to victory: 1 200!

I do love the people saying there is no player dominance. A little search on TLPD will show you otherwise. Jaedon has been getting top 2 for a long time and now a top 8? Dear did well in pro league, does well in GSTL, won GSL, and now won this. Soulkey has been a top 8 of every freaking tournament since December.... I guess that isn't consistent.

Nah, I'm not really blaming a mod, since a warning is not too hard . I don't want to start a discussion since it's not such a huge thing.

Dear looked incredibly strong, can't wait to see Naniwa tear down every single Korean at the Blizzcon finals!
