I saw glimpses of a long macro games earlier by Seed and Liquid Hero for a first time, but Dear was the first who clearly showed the future of the protoss players who later dominated especially in Korea. Rain of course did the same but back then Dear was beating everybody for a period of 4 months until Jaedong stopped him at Blizzcon. What Dear actually started, Zest later turned it into doctrine. And also Dear was three times semi-finalist in Code S in a row which is still a great achievement of consistency. That happened in the end of 2015 and the whole 2016. For sure, great player in his heyday. Dropped to merely a good player but had one hell of a career | ||

Good stuff about Dear. He was a fun player and one of the first I wrote a feature about. I'll forever admire him, if only for his mercurial form. | ||

Otherwise we're going to be seeing a lot more ZvZ, TvT, ZvTs and no Protoss matchups What we have after this year are sOs, patience, trap, creator, prince, parting,zoun and super. Non of them beside trap looks promising. Sad | ||
