Ok keep players like HeroMarine and other European players that haven't won anything and drop Dear. Makes sense

Heromarine won the last german EPS He is still going to school and isn't playing fulltime - so he is propably much cheaper than Dear is. And oh yeah, Heromarine is streaming regularly with commentary both in german aswell as english, sth that Dear didn't do that much afaik

I don't think Mouz has any idea wtf they're doing. Doesn't seem like a team players should want to join.

I'm surprised by the amount of sympathy and good wishes that mouz have received. Their management of Illusion and now Dear has hardly been encouraging, especially with the cutting of MaNa to get Dear in the first place.

I wish Dear all the best... hard to go from top in the world in the world's strongest team to being cut after five months in the foreign wilderness. Hope he takes a break, finds his hunger, and gets back into a stable environment to crush face.

What's the big deal, Mouz seem to be getting a ton of flak for this, if anything I'd criticise them more for picking him up.


I don't get opinions like this...


Mouz is/was one of the last european team with actual european players and they picked someone without including him in a wider project. Bringing dear to eu in order to play in wcs eu would've been better and cooler imo.


Fuck them for trying to give him more opportunities to play abroad right...


which is basically fking is training environnement. No team mates, no team house (not sure about this one), wasting time on planes/jet-lagging. No wonder why you nobody was consitently on top while going to every foreigner tournament. (except if you count 10k$ tournament with like 3top koreans the top of sc2)


Dear was clearly targeted by some European generals fighting in the great Foreigner-Korean war. The standard operation instructions go something like this:

Lure champion quality Korean into your team with promises of salary and tasty tasty bratwurst (or burgers if operation is run by Americans). If this isn't enough for the Korean to take the bait just mention "no more doing the dishes after proleague loss". This usually is enough to trap the target and make him flee his teamhouse hastily towards their freedom in own housing. Even better if you can get him running to the airport to live in foreign culture without proper ambitions.

After you've captured your target, expose them to bad practice partners and ridiculously lax schedule. Encourage laziness by tiring them with useless travels to puny $10k events. Have the target play online team matches in the middle of the night to further tire him out. The added lag on these events frustrates the target even more multiplying the mental damage. Usually no coaching is provided, but for extra effectiveness hire a foreign coach who doesn't speak Korean to confuse the target.

Work this routine for several months or until desired outcome is reached. When Code B status is certain or your shady finances are exposed, release the target back into the wild. Now that he is broken there's one less Korean to worry about in international tournaments.

I shouldn't have to point out this is a joke...


So well written :D That's really good way to get foreigners win more money


Thanks! Procrastinating over the writing of my bachelor's thesis fuels my creativity.

That's the main "problem" of all EU Teams, they only focus to EU tourneys. If any eu player is toplevel class and want to attend all tourneys in all regions (as Stephano in his primetime), EU teams can't support such players.
If Vortix is going fulltime and want all tourneys around the world, I see a big problem for EU teams to spport him his way (except Alliance & Acer).

Does Alliance really do Starcraft at the moment though? I mean I know they have SortOf but Naniwa was their flagship player and they don't seem overly eager to pick someone else up.

Dear needs to get on a Pl team. Which team team needs a new toss?

I guess the teams that need it the most would probably Samsung with no top proleague toss and then Jin air or Prime with just 1 high level proleague toss

You should be ashamed, your negative juju knocked Dear out ;_;.

I don't think it's a surprise that they dropped him right as he failed to get out of his Code A group.

A) Why offer Dear a contract for three months? Why accept that? That's ridiculous, who does that?
B) Why drop Dear after three months? What did you hope to get from him in the first place and what did he do wrong?

A clear failure on Mousesports' part here. I don't know what they expected.

Just another example of a foreign team trying to buy success rather than build it themselves. This time Dear gets blown up by it. Sad day for SC2.

You're saying they shouldn't try to buy something to help get their name out there?
