I never played Brood War, but some time after Starcraft 2 came out, I also started to pay attention to the Brood War leagues. At this time, Flash was dominating proleague with a 20+ win streak or something ridiculous like that, and Dear was the one that ended it. Flash was playing a perfect game like always, except he was unusually slow at preparing missile turrets at a common drop location. Dear blindly hit this weakness with a fast shuttle, killing most of Flash's workers and taking the game easily.

Everyone thought he was one lucky bugger, but he sure is proving us wrong in SC2.


Flash was making a turret at the perfect spot, but he cancelled it. Probably as a response to the observer that entered his base.

The WCS Grand Finals represent Dear's chance to create a lasting legacy as the greatest player of 2013. With two championships and a third within reach, he can immortalize himself as the player who won it all, all on his very first try.


This line gave me the chills ! :D

damn ... why do i have to wait for one more day !

This article just made me wonder one thing:

Whose pressure is greater to win the thing --> Naniwa's or Dear's.. :D
Another world, another place, another universe, won the race.. :) ;) :P

The community pressure on Dear is greater, but I think Nani puts a lot more pressure on himself than Dear does now that the latter has already won two prestigious championships in so short a time span. That isn't to say he isn't under a lot of pressure, though - he most certainly will be.
