|
Cool, he's been teamless for too long
|
Finally this is confirmed, he's been living in the teamhouse for some time. Back to kespa, soooo happy for him omg.
On the other hand same team with RorO, ewww.
|

Dear, RorO, Solar and Stork is gonna be a pretty sick lineup for next Proleague season
|
What a surprise.

Dear, Solar and Stork will be a sick lineup next season. Now if they could only find a second Zerg and a Terran (god damnit ROOT)...
|
Sounds like a good deal for both parties

They could pickup Journey, he's looked pretty good recently.
|
Yayyyyy Dear! Samsung galaxy looking really solid now! Heck, maybe even Stork will output better results outside of practice?! :D
|
Finally it's official :D was a insider rumour for a while
|
Yay - finally official. Gratz Dear! Glad to see Samsung bolstering their roster for the next PL.

Dear god
I did not see this coming
|
Gl Gl!
|
I'll never forget the level of play he displayed at wcs season 3 finals. It was the highest level of play at the time since 2012 taeja, and 2011 mvp, maybe even surpassing the latters.
|
2014 season hasnt finished and yet the power-up phase has commenced
|
Really really really good news, this guys deserve to be in a top team, with good life/training conditions he can become the #1 protoss again.
Plus SGK really seems an happy team atm, players seem to enjoy their life and the game, perfect environment for Dear to make a huge come back on the scene.

Journey looking for a foreign team, so may that ship already sunk.

Glad to see him getting a team ! Congratz to him and to Samsung !
|
Excellent! So happy for Dear.
|
Greate to see him on a team again. I hope he gets treated better from now on!
|
Not sure if happy for Dear... dont like Samsung, as a team, that much =/
|
Wow. Should have happened sooner, but I guessed he didn't want to join a foreign team again. Proleague endings have a positive side too.
I don't get why more players don't go aboard for a good contract and come home after their skills degrade. Patience, Yoda, and even Jjakji kind of faded in skill compared to foreigners. People love to hold Polt and MC as examples, even JD to a degree. Polt was at Seoul University and MC has a stronger support system than most foreign Koreans. Jaedong is a BW legend that is used to handling things more solitary.
|
congrats to dear, glad he finally found a team!

There's tons of progamers that keep saying Cure is top 3 Terran and he just hasn't had his breakout performance yet. Reality just made Code S though, so that's a point for him

Good for Dear! Nicely done.
|
Amazing pick-up there too! Today is full of surprises! GL to Dear and Khan!
And zealously, Dear , Solar and Stork will be a great supporting line-up for the one true samsung khan Ace : RorO!
|
After Dear, Proleague will only be complete with the return of the prodigal son, the ultimate league player, Stx Soul Innovation
|
This is great news. Happy things are starting to turn around for Dear!

GREAT!!!!~~~ Congratz to Dear!!!!
He wil go from strength to strength again now....and we all know what he is capable of given the right environment and support.
Love this guy~~
What a story if he was to win GSL Code S this season!!!
Go Dear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
Oh my god this is EXACTLY what I was hoping for and damn I'm happy to hear this news. One of my favorite player in one of my favorite KeSPA team.
|
Wow sick news! Storku and Dear
|
Dear/Roro/Solar/Stork gonna be interesting

Awesome for Samsung and for Dear, I'm eager to see how Samsung perform in next season's Proleague.
I hope more teamless Koreans also find teams, people like Center, Symbol, Trap, Ragnarok, Squirtle.
|
Finally! So happy for Dear! Gratz to both parties
|
|
Awesome! Congrats to Dear, nice to see him on a decent team *hint hint*. =D
|
Great. So glad such a good player, who was despised as "another patch protoss who won WCS out of sheer luck and imbalance", could find a solid team and will shut all those mouths up by making a deep GSL run and excellent Proleague performances.
|
actually it took waaaaay longer for him to be picked by a strong team than one would expect... i mean come on, who wouldn't want a player of such caliber in his team?
|
Nice. Love to see SPL teams picking up players. I hope StarTale are going to pick up some nice ones, too.
|
We will forget the short passage on mouz hah. I hope you come back as the best protoss, you were cool last year.

Anyone with half a brain could tell from the way Dear played around WCS KR Season 3 that he wasn't just a "patchtoss". He picked apart his opponents very thoroughly and without abusing a single unit or strategy like many other players that typically rapidly rise after a buff.
|
|
Super! Well done, Dear and Samsung! A good Dear is one of the best players in the world.
|
Oh Dear. I wonder what prime and MVP are going to do for the next season. Kespa powerhouses are so far away in terms of roster depth and quality at the moment

When it comes to talking about Protoss imbalance, most people even gifted with a brain lose more than a half of it.

And spawning in the bottom right corner we have our red terran Mvp square.

Dafuq!? Samsung never gets any FA players. I think the only other time a significant player chose to go there was Shine(Roro went there as part of the disbanding draft). I'm quite surprised they're going to pay someone.
Still would like more terrans though. I would say the vT MU is by far the weakest for the team. While vP is the team's strongest. But still, Dear brings some new strategical play to the team which I like.

Good stuff to hear for Dear! After how he got dropped from his previous team, this is good news for him.

MVPMvp has always been some secret dream of mine

Congrats for Dear on finally finding a team. I wonder how this will impact his international tournaments.
|
Hope Samsung will finally do well next year. Didn't like Dear much before, but as a Samsung fan, I guess I better start liking him now.

YES! Dear finally gets a team where he could thrive!
|
gogo Dear... Well deserved and happy to see him back with Kespa where he belongs.
|
Nice! Although I´m wondering what took them so long. He´s been without a team for quite a while now.
|
Welcome back to kespa I guess.

That would be insane lol !! It sucks that only a handful of bw superstars kept playing sc2

I really hope Dear comes back with full force so people will stop talking about how great Zest is. Dear's achievements were levels better than Zest's. Dear fell off only because his team disbanded. Zest fell off because the winner's curse. He is a good player, just not as good as people claim he is.

dear,solar and roro really good lineup. congras dear and samsung

Was expected, but it's official now. Grats to Dear and Samsung.

his skill has taken such a heavy blow in 2014 he couldn't be worse tbh...

In celebration, I went out and bought a Galaxy Note3 today.

What do you mean his skill would take a hit? Is there a better place for Jaedong to fight his way back to the top but KeSPA?

Really waited for Dear joining Samsung or CJ because other teams are kinda stacked. Samsung is the perfect choise. Team of Stork and JangBi, so nice place for SC2 Top Protoss! Happy for Dear!
|
I like these awesome pickups, go Dear! Happy that he's back in a strict environment, he already said he was lacking due to the less strict practice regimes on mouz. GOGO :D

Best sc fist pump ever

That's a pity. He wanted so much to join a foreign team and travel around the world. He said he got bitten by the foreign tournament bug. I guess this will at least help stabilize his career. I'm disappointed that Acer didn't pick him up though.
|
Good choice from Dear. I'm sure the practice partners will really help him get results. Hopefully he doesnt neglect communication with his foreign fans

The only thing that would take a hit is his easy foreign money. Even that, i dont think he is winning much this year.

YESS!! what a great pick up for samsung!! not sure for who to root next season though :/ my favourite "eSF" team Startale or best kespa team out there samsung galaxy khan..

If he can keep up his recent form, Dear should be an ace level player on Samsung KHAN.

To not be a 2-race team depending on Reality - who is good, admittedly, but rarely shows up in Proleague - for Terran support?

Speaking of the need of a good Terran.. @SKT

samsung getting stroooong :D
|
|
Dear is the only Protoss who has ever almost convinced me to race change
His playstyle at the WCS S3 GSL and Season Finals was absolutely phenomenal, and exciting.
|
Congratulations to Dear, i am very happy for him. Very solid and powerfull protoss. He deserved a new home in Korea, he is definitely not done showing us good games in proleague and GSL Code A/S. I think he has it in him to win another championship, or at least reach RO4 in the near future.
Was very sorry to hear about the whole mousesports debacle, being my favorite team i hoped they'd take good care of him and make some sort of expansion in Korea, but apparently they had other plans.
Dear fighting!!!!

It feels like forever since he left mousesports, so glad he's found a new team! Looking at his recent qualifiers, he has been knocked out repeatedly by Solar and Armani, so having them as practice partners ought to do wonders for his play! So excited!
