"I am here to announce my retirement today. I will be serving my mandatory military service in October. I wanted to give one last shot at a title in one of the premier tournaments before doing so. Although it’s disappointing that I wasn’t able to accomplish it, I am glad that I got the opportunity to meet many pro players, staff members, and fans. The experience that I had with all of the mentioned above will remain as valuable memories to me. I will never forget such experiences and my career as a professional Starcraft 2 player.
I appreciate the support that you have given to me and I hope our paths cross again one day"

It was a pleasure to root for Dear. Sad to see another tentpole Protoss go. 
|
I sort of wonder where things will be once he's done with his service. I'm not terribly optimistic given the current state on top of the pandemic.
Maybe there will be a new RTS out there!

Given that it's military service, I'm just glad he ended up satisfied with his sc2 career. Hopefully he moves onto something greater in the future; it was always a pleasure to watch him play.

Stats and Dear departing at the same time. Big time blow to Protoss but perhaps an opportunity for some new blood to rise. Who knows.
Bon Voyage Dear, hope the military treats you right!
|
Another great toss players leaving again. Hope the new talents like Prince and Astrea can make something happen in future.
|
Sad, I will never forget those LEGENDARY games against Maru. All the best Dear in the future...

All aboard the Zest and Trap trains.

Good luck to you Dear, I will never forget your run at the end of 2013, absolutely on fire.

Shouldn't Zest also be gone soon at His age, or can he push it back some more?

Protoss is korea the next years gonna be  (hopefully some ppl can step up)

Was never a huge fan of Dear, but when someone posts something like this, all of a sudden I feel I have to sympathize with him.....all the best Dear!
|
For a short time, he was the best player in the world.
Farewell Dear ! It will be tough for the protoss race.
And what about Zest, he has to go soon too right ?
|
Oh no, this is two years too early. Sad to see him go but you can understand why he would call it quits now - the Dear skill graph has become inaccurate as of late.
Losing Classic and herO last year, and then Dear, Stats, and Zest this year. Welp.

The one who'd come back earliest is Classic in late 2021.
