I have just finished the last major re-write of my PhD thesis. Entitled "The Emancipation Paradox: A Critical Study of the Kantian Tradition in Political Philosophy" it examines the dilemma of egalitarian political philosophers in presenting a universal theory of equality (i.e. That everyone is equal, regardless of arbitrary distinctions) but reneging, of sorts, on this theory of equality in implementing practical procedural conceptions of justice. (The Abstract of the thesis is at... [Read More]
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]
Hello my friends and foes it has been a while. Its me the one and only stodd who made the infamous PvZ Zerg is op blog post a few years back. Ive taken a huge break from starcraft about close to a years worth. Every now and again during hots id play like team games but 1v1 i had stopped grinding since i gotten into CS:GO back in early 2014. With the release of LOTV i felt that i needed to purchase the expansion for the sake of finishing off the starcraft 2 campaign (which btw if you havent... [Read More]
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.
Chadmann's reign of terror has gone on too long. I want a 1v1 where frustration plays on my account vs chadmann to settle this forever. $2k on the line
It's been so long since I blogged here! Today's one is just going to be real short, and more of a request for feedback than a fully-fledged blog.
The other week I had the pleasure of attending the WCS ro32 Premier in Cologne as an Expert and Analyst. It was an amazing experience for me to experience the show from the other side of the table! Getting to see these players up close and talk to them when not being focused on my own play for once was really cool I was able to... [Read More]
Its been a very busy last couple weeks for me, I haven't been able to get much StarCraft in. It's nice to have some time to catch up on things.
But first things first I need to announce the result of my charity drive in aid of the Boarding Kennel & Cattery and Adelaide Fire Victims.
The streams managed to raise a nice $82.32
The lion's share of this $82 came from x5.Doombie's cast of my RvR Tournament. So a huge thank you to Exile 5 and Doombie for helping out. I would also like to thank... [Read More]

So it is Friday night and I am here in Taipei for one more night before heading back to the land of Australia and wanted to share some of my amazing experiences from Computex 2014!
I arrived on Monday night after spending 19 hours travelling and headed straight to my hotel in central Taipei. By this time I was relatively exhausted from travelling and knew I would have to be up early as Computex began the next morning.
Taipei is incredibly humid at the moment which I did not come prepared... [Read More]
Yes this is a rant and yes i am mad bro so dont ask...
Clan IMI, aka clan immortal is a new clan to have risen into the NA scene. They have some pretty decent plays and are quite competitive in their clan wars. They also like to help one another. Sounds like a bunch of cool guys eh? Well i thought the same as well.
About a few months ago, when i was about top diamond at the time on NA (currently mid diamond :P) i notice IMI was taking in diamond players and thought "oh cool i have heard... [Read More]
Hey guys, FeDe here, was just letting everyone know, I have done a bit of work on my casting.
I am looking to get a few more opportunities to further my abilities, so this is a post asking if anyone needs a tournaments, cw or show match casted please let me know.
After each cast i will post the vod here so people can see that development as well as to my youtube and twitch channel.
Hey guys, I recently moved house and went through a long painful month without internet. Naturally, I ran out of things to do and went on to discover the true meaning of profound boredom. Then I realized that my keyboard hadn’t been cleaned in over 6 months and that it was in a pretty disgusting state. Prior to this, if I cleaned my keyboard I did it quite swiftly and treated it like a chore, but this time I was determined to keep myself distracted from my inability to connect to the world and...

I decided to use technology and make a video blog for once! I just explain what eSports stuff I've been up to over the last month and then dive into analysing a see-saw ZvT vs Iaguz from ACL Sydney.
Hopefully the analysis gives some good insights into how you should structure muta-ling runbys, counters and harass when behind against a terran opponent and unable to afford a Hive-transition.
I'll be aiming for another vlog in the week or two before IEM... [Read More]
If you're going to have a go at how people look on the internet, you probably shouldn't upload photos like this one:
If I was a tool who used superficialities such as appearance in order to try to bring someone down to my level, I'd do my best to not look like a twelve year old while doing it.
Do they include being mad every time you lose? Because seemingly that's what I've encountered every single time I've played someone from the clan.
Who are these guys anyway? Why do I never see them in SEA tourneys if I always see them on SEA ladder?
Context:
The "shiftykent" guy proxy 2raxed me on frost, I didn't scout it because I happened to scout the wrong way first 3 times (so fun when that happens )
Then I cannon rushed him on belshir and apparently I'm the bad guy for cheesing,... [Read More]
In light of almost double-booking myself (and the fountain of commentary requests I've had lately) - I've setup a calendar for my "esports related" shindigs. Once I fix a couple of things up I'll open it up to the public just in case anyone needs to check if I'm available.
Not at all trying to say that "OH SHIT SUDDENLY I'M DAY9 AND I'M CASTING ALL THE THINGS" - but more-so that it helps me not get double booked. Almost messed up Eddie's day because of my bad forward planning.... [Read More]
Anyone ever faced this problem? I'll be in-game, get the popup showing that I D/Ced from Bnet, then reconnecting. Wondering if anyone knows a solution to it also?
