I've been playing SC:Remastered pretty much nonstop since release (got almost 2000 games under my belt, switching from SC2 Protoss to SC:BW Terran. It's been a rough transition). I never really delved into Brood War past 2001 in any competitive sense, and I was far too young at that point to immerse myself in the full ensemble of skillsets that would eventually develop Brood War into a highly competitive and insanely technical mechanical monster of a game.
Hey everyone it has been about a month and a half since my last blog. I always have trouble thinking of where to start when i write these blogs haha. So i guess ill try go in a Chronological order this time. My last blog was on the 20th of June so its been a while but i remember writing in that blog that my grandma had been taken into hospice and that she may not have much time left with us. Sadly the worst happened 5 days later :'(. I always remember
Hey guys Ice here, has been another big month in the sc2 scene we have had 4 major qualifiers and another ANZ cup. The qualifiers were 2 IEM Shanghai, a Dreamhack Valencia and WCS Montreal was the last.
One major goal i set myself at the start of the year was to make a top 16 in a WCS qualifier. I wasn't able to make this goal happen. People who know me know I'm goal orientated and not making this goal was a real low point. I got close in season 2 and thought with the
Hey everyone!!. How have we all been lately? I hope all is well. With me its been a crazy last month wish I could've fit more sc2 in!. I am currently in practice to hopefully crack into the top 16 in the next WCS season its a goal I really want to achieve and something I'm hoping to make happen. In order to do this I've been trying to play in as many OSC events as possible especially the Douyu Cup I haven't been winning alot of series in the douyu cup (maybe 1 or 2) but
Haha yep, so basically I'm done. Will upload a 'Career Retrospective' video soon where I ramble on for close to an hour about my time playing if anybody has the time/patience for that. One thing I forgot to mention in the video was that me studying Animal Companion Services at CIT in addition to
I have been well had a whole heap go on so ill try fit it all in to this blog.
First of all we have started a new season and new maps in SC2 finally. It feels good to have a change in the maps. I have played about 70 ladder games this season and so far I enjoy the new maps however they all present different problems and ways to think around them which makes ladder more entertaining and frustrating at the same time.
Hey peeps Ice here. How has everyone been? I have been going well recently in game and out of game.
In the world of starcraft I am once again masters feels good to prove the doubters wrong . Admittedly i still have a long way to go untill I reach my lofty goals however you aim for the stars and if you miss you will land on the moon. My team has been amazing with their support since i have joined, the environment with in the team is great. I am currently getting ready
Hey guys, Ice here how have we all been? Hope you have all been well
As for me alot has happened since my last blog. I decided to part ways with Team Exile 5 I would like to thank them for giving me a shot, However their were certain things that didn't feel right. I'm not going to go in to it any more than that as I feel that is unfair on myself and on them. I wish them all the best
In great news I have joined SYF Gaming and I am extremely happy to be in a great... [Read More]
Hope you all had a safe and enjoyable holiday period. Since my last blog, I've been pretty busy. I had the OSC showmatch vs Prozer to try and sneak into to the top 32 - unfortunately it wasn't to be. I feel even being that close, considering my suspension and loss of points earlier in the season, is a positive outcome - it just sucks getting that close and missing out!
However it powers me on now in 2016 to make the top 32 and play in the... [Read More]
So played some team games earlier went for my first ladder as zerg accidently(easy race yo) played a zvz then got this and lost my shit in laughter after the guy was calling me a kid and telling me how to play zvz.
Hey guys, How are we all? Just thought I would update you all on my progress and that of my family.
Family first, my grandparents are fighting strong can't wait for christmas with them. We hope it's not their last but it may well be :'(
Back to the fun stuff: SC2
Since being in masters I have been having ups and downs and more and more flaws in my game are coming out. This however is good the more I have to work on and fix the more I want to play. I'm on the
I haven't written a blog since joining the Team Exile5 academy so I thought that I'd fill you all in on what I have been doing. I joined the academy back in September and I had some troublesome times with the family. Grandma got given weeks - months to live and things were really busy at work so my start at x5 was rocky when it came to game time. Grandma is still fighting strong and work has got quieter so I'm now able to put large amounts of... [Read More]
Hi I'm Stodd a protoss player. Some of you may know me for my 1 base shenanigans on ladder or for my rant blog on how broken zerg is. Today however i have important question to ask to the community of today.
First off a statement that will lead to my question. You see, i've been playing this game since early WoL days where warping on the high ground was possible and zerg's broodlord infestor was practically unbeatable once it hit late game. Long ago i used to hang out with these GM's in a... [Read More]
I don't know where to post this so I'm sorry if there was a more appropriate place especially since there is actually blogs being posted now, but I just feel demoralised as fk. I played some smurf who was 50W 1L who said he was a high NA GM and i lost 40 points after 2 games with him then it just snowballed from there. I didn't want to stop playing until I won a game to end on a somewhat high note but then I never won.
I even lost to a 10 gate stalker rush as zerg... [Read More]
So as people who have me on facebook know, ive been getting back into my cricket (i used to be state level underage) and have had issue with shin splints so its been a rough summer sports wise and gym wise. So I got back to 20 20 weekend and first game pulled off some highlight plays in the outfield had a 35 off 14 ball cameo then second game bam tore a hammy batting.
So pig suggested i redo the campaign, im going to have to give it a go again after i get diamond in league. Im close to... [Read More]
Game after game on ladder, I've witnessed first hand how bad mannered some of the HvG boys are on ladder.
Usually I'd just go with it, because I couldn't care less, and I just let them say whatever they want.
But this time was a little different.
I was testing out both the lag I have whilst capped, and my new headset.. Half way through the game I have to take a very important call and need to close a window (raining) so I asked for a "pp"
Welp.. Couldn't expect any less from a... [Read More]
So im actually quite happy right now, i have finally got gm on north america it may not seem like much but to me its been my goal for so many years now and i could never get it because of tilting / rage quiting etc etc, JUST NOW! i finally ****** got it.
It may not seem big to many players in the scene but to me getting gm is just, im so happy right now haha. 1 week and a half back and i have achieved a goal i could never get in 3 years.
Okay, I have been with TPG for 4 years and as of the last 3 months every time I hit peak hours ( 3pm-9pm Daily and Saturdays and Sundays usually the entire day ) I can't watch streams without them constantly lagging, Twitch, Youtube, Others.. ( Wife watches Tenplay and other associated TV crap ) They just pause every 5-10 seconds and it's becoming a joke.
Even watching Youtube and Twitch vids, streaming music, it just retards out.
I have run ping tests, speed tests, done all of the TPG... [Read More]
