My Starcraft/eSports Journey - Part 2 - SC2 and my start in eSports
Welcome to part 2, I'll try and edit this one and take a bit more time to write it, but honestly I just want to put my experiences down to text for you all to enjoy, or not - I don't really care.

I'm writing this in one go, no real plan just off my dome - if I forget someone I'm so sorry

Moving on from Part 1;

So, SC2 comes out, I got it right on release and played quite a lot for awhile... Back to the grind like in the SC:BW

My Starcraft/eSports Journey - Part 1 - THE BEGINNING
So here it is... My very long blog about my time in gaming, eSports and specifically SC2. Thanks for taking the time to read, I'll go into depth and this wont be edited a great deal so it'll probably be a big wall of text.

To start off, I'll talk about my beginnings in games in general - but more specifically, RTS games.
Part 2 will probably be about my start in SC2 and eSports. Part 3 will hopefully be about what I've learnt from that and how its all come to an end with SYF and my... [Read More]

Fading community - needs change
An open letter to the greater sc2sea community and sc2online...

Hello friends,

I have noticed of late, how desolate and empty this website has been. The once bustling hub of South East Asian Starcraft 2 community is reduced to streambot and the occasional tournament bracket being linked.

Obviously the community is significantly dwindling and there are less active members of the community, but I do believe there are still a larger amount of active members of this site, just NO ONE... [Read More]

ChadMates Power Rankings
Doing some research to let you nerds know who is the best.... or at least my thoughts on the top 10.

*Due to recent inactivity Blysk, is not included in the top 10 list


1) Seither - While the top three is super close. Seither is the only one of late to only really lose to the others in the top three.. While 2nd and 3rd have dropped some series vs lesser players. This edge for me gives Seither the 1st spot by a hair over enderr.

2) Enderr - Enderr has always been a very technical... [Read More]

Why I asked Seither to play on Aus and not SEA.
Okay.. so Freedom thinks we are BM arseholes that wanted an advantage to win at any cost...

This doesn't sit with me so I thought I would put my thoughts to a brief blog.

The past two or three WCS qualifiers or ESL monthly cups fray guys have complained after the tournament privately to me how disappointed they felt after losing on SEA server partially due to ping issues. This disappointment continued during the Ro16 yesterday as seither lost to ender while dealing with 250+ ping plus... [Read More]

Calling out SLCN Sportz
I challenge SLCN Sports to a handicap match. Both players must play with 700ms, on wobbly tables, against protoss (as Zerg), with a new keyboard, while tired and hungry, and after 'not practising' for months, with glare in their eyes & after recently switching to a new hotkey setup.

Who ever makes the most excuses, wins.

I predict fray 3-0.

My time at ACL
Hi friends... This is my perspective of ACL.. It was a quick weekend and I wish it went longer. But until next time, I'll leave you with my thoughts.

What a great weekend we've just had, PvP finals in a SEA tournament and some really interesting results across the tournament.

Friday Was one of the busiest days I've had at work for months. Rearranging the entire store to a new layout and lots of new stock and customer orders coming in. it was a busy day (those of you that don't know, I run... [Read More]

Diamond =/= A team
Hi guys.

Recently I've seen the numbers of teams popping up with Diamond rosters and players looking for teams in diamond or below leagues.

Just want to real talk with y'all for a sec...

Clans = A collective of like-minded people that play under the same tag and form a group bond because of the shared tag.

Team = Much like a clan, but they are sponsored by tech companies etc to play a game at a competitive/noticeable level.

If you are Diamond or below, you are not that rare.... [Read More]

The State of Fray`
Hi Friends,

I'm just writing this short blog to give everyone some info on what has happened with fray. So there isn't all this Skype he-said-this chit chat going on.

TLDR, fray has had some serious issues with sponsorship, lack of management (I'm still in the process of having internet connected at my new house) and mis-understandings between members. I really need to get to Skype and sort this out, but my phone is barely able to load the program, I live in such a poor area for reception... [Read More]

Moving House
Hey mates,

I am moving house, no internet for a few weeks. Internet folks seem to think it'll be about 2 weeks..

Few people have asked me things about fray etc and anyone that needs to find me for ESL TC matches please speak to fenner or Miles, if they can't help you out then they can msg me. I'll be around when I'm at work etc but be good while I'm away

xoxo Much love.

Just wanted to say, Eddie you are a ******* baller.

I know you of all people don't do this for the approval or appreciation, you legit do it for the community. But omfg you are one baller dude cranking out tournaments and boosting the SEA Scene. Much appreciated.

Everyone else, get involved in these events and make SC2SEA a busy place filled with activity!

Good shit Eddie.

ACL brisbane + Photo's
ACL Brisbane was a great weekend.

The journey is soon to be documented and presented to everyone. But I can say, it was tiring and filled with difficult obstacles. I really feel for the fray team that had to spend that first night in horrid conditions (the hostel manager where we were staying had a loud party till 2-3 am Friday night (aka Saturday Morning). Many of you would have noticed how tired some of the fray boys looked over the weekend.

Other than that, I had a great time.... [Read More]
