Are you kidding? sOs and Dear are probably the best 2 protoss players in the world atm.
I know who they are and I watched their games. I am just saying that most casual players will NOT know who they are. I am not sure how you can argue against that. Most casual players don't follow every match. They know the big names, big personalities...not necessarily the highest skilled players.
Who cares? Who even are the big names to these people?
@Naruto, agree to disagree. I just feel a series has to be more emphatic to be a proper crushin' (Inno's TvZ peak being a good example).
Jaedong playing, if there is ever a time to use the first person obs this is it!

There is nothing to do with mental state. That was just Dear playing and crushing nerds. Taeja even took a map, should be proud of himself. And Dear did beat Soulkey just because he's better than him.
People should start to recognize how seriously good Dear is.
The gg timing in game 1 and the insta gg in game 2 gave me a feeling that his mental state wasnt the best.
