STX's Dear did it. He put a stop to
Flash's seemingly unstoppable winning streak. Due to the unexpected-ness of the ordeal, Dear enjoyed a brief moment of fame, climbing to the top of the most-searched-term chart of the internet. February 29th has become a day that lives on in his memory.Dear thanked
Classic and Size for helping him whole-heartedly when preparing builds to face Flash. Confidence shone through Dear's words as he said he wants to become an 'auto-win' card.Q How does it feel to have derailed the unstoppable god-god-express, aka the holy rape train*?
A I beat Flash who had never lost this season. I want to scream, that's how good I feel right now (laughs).
Q He was the one that stopped your winning streak last time you met.
A The fact that I lost so easily without being able to do anything made it that much more regrettable. I guess the manner in which I lost motivated me to beat him easily today (laughs).
Q Let's be honest: nobody expected you to win.
A My confidence was low due to the manner in which I lost my last encounter with him. The build I prepared for today's game didn't net me a lot of wins in practice either. However, I was carrying some momentum in my recent PvT's so I didn't feel like it was impossible to win.
Q Word on the street is that you always tell your teammates "If anybody on this team could beat Flash, it'd be me."
A I always wanted to meet him. I prepared a lot of builds, and wanted to try them out against him.
Q It felt like you put in a lot of thought and analysis into the build.
A Today's build is centered around getting fast speed for shuttles. If Flash had scanned it, it would have been stopped easily, but I noticed he has a habit of scanning the opponent's natural entrance when his vultures pop. So I hid the support bay in my natural, and Flash didn't see it so he fell to my harass.
Q Who helped you win today.
A Classic and Size. Even when I kept bugging them for practice games to perfect this build, they didn't complain, so I am thankful, and I also want to say thank you to our coach that devised this build.
Q One step closer to rookie of the year.
A You only have one shot to win rookie of the year, so I want to win it (laughs). I am competing with
sHy for the award; I hope he puts up a good fight until I win it in the end (laughs).Q Your name topped the charts of the most-searched-keyword. Lots of attention.
A I was startled by the cheering when I stepped out of the booth. I'm still dazed.
Q Plans from hereon?
A Since the rookie of the year award is at stake, our head coach has been giving me extra attention. I want to pay him back for believing in me by crushing everybody in my path.
Q Any last words?
A After I won today I thought, 'I'm glad I chose to become a progamer.' I will watch my match against Flash when I get home. I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight (laughs). I will continue to play hard so that eventually I will become an 'auto-win' card for our team.

* If you're seriously wondering whether the interviewer actually said the words "unstoppable God express" and "holy rape train," you should take a moment to reassess your life, your moral fiber, your ideals, and your character.
