Soul's players absent the Literacy Education of Kespa Original Source
The former STX Soul players who is now in team SouL were absent from the Literacy Education of KeSPA.
All the former members of STX still maintains their "professional qualification" (by kespa, esf players or players of foreign teams don't need that). Since they didn't attend the literacy education of this year, they will not be able to maintain this qualification, which means not able to play Starcraft Proleague. This wasn't actually affects them because they won't attend proleague anyway...
What worth notice is the last sentence of that news. It says that "team soul members are aiming to join some foreign teams or looking for personal sponsorships."
--hmm, so which means soul doesn't seems to be able to find a team sponsor soon? and possibly dear or trap or anyone played well enough to be pick up by other teams will leave soon?

What matters is the last sentence, that the team member of soul is looking for a personal sponsorship or join a foreign team, possibly means that soul is not intend to maintain too long for current roster or whatever..

Sign me up. Been waiting for the truly complete protoss player for 3 years, but all we got were flashes in the pan (awesome flashes, mind you, not downplaying any of their achievements or skill) and finally here he is. The complete package. His loveable, enDEARing attitude only makes things better.

He didn't want to really play. He even forfeited his game in the lower bracket. The reason might be simple: in a couple days he has a shot at 100.000 $ and a lot of prestige. why in the world should he unveil strategies in a televised qualifier where the first place at the very end gets 10.000 $. He gets 5k for just attending blizzcon and nearly gets the same for just making it into the next round.
It really does not make sense for him to participate in that tournament at all.
Dear makes playing Protoss seem easy. I play Zerg (Gold) and occasionally I play Protoss and finds myself losing all the time, it's quite hard to control Protoss with blink Stalker micro and forcefield etc.., so I appreciate Dear's play a lot more.

Sad to hear bro :-(
I'm pretty sure he would have taken it more serious IF there wouldn't have been WCS Global Finals in a couple days. I mean Starcraft is a game of strategy and he plays protoss where you rely on surprising your opponents often. Wouldn't have been very smart to play that qualifier :-7

No worries, I think there's still a chance for him to go to Singapore, considering IEM NY gives out wildcards, and according to liquipedia IEM singapore invites players with top 4 WCS rankings.
