One of the favorites to win the BlizzCon World Championship, Dear, has officially joined team mousesports to become the team's first Korean SC2 player. Dear, who has played SC2 competitively since the 2011-2012 hybrid season of the Proleague he truly came in to his own earlier this year when he defeated Eo 'soO' Yoon Su in the WCS Season 3 Korea GSL and then glassed Kim 'Soulkey' Min Chul with a 4-0 sweep at the WCS Season 3 Grand Finals.

Dear has released a statement on his recruitment to the team:

I wanted to join a Non-Korean team, so I could attend many international events. Mousesports is one of the best foreign teams in the scene and I was very happy, that they made me a good offer, so I accepted it. I hope to attend many tournaments next year, and I'm positive that this will come true with mouz. This year, I won two premier tournaments (WCS S3 Korea & WCS S3 Finals), but my career is not decorated enough to be called best Protoss. This is an inconvenient career to me. I'm sure that I'll be the best Protoss player in 2014. Thanks to mousesports and their sponsors BenQ, GeIL, XMG, Razer and Thortech.
