Hey guys this is blog no.3
I'm still around, still playing although not as much as I would have liked. For the first month I was able to hit my 21 games a week but uni ramped up and over the last month I've only been able to get a couple dozen games in.

It feels a lot like two steps forward one step back. My APM has gone up from the 60's to the 90's which is cool but my biggest stumbling block is missing the 8 to 10 scv's before the 10 minute mark effectively crippling me. If I can just get... [Read More]

So Zen and I are playing 2s on NA. He is ; yours truly is .

Everything seems peaceful until the 6.45min or so when a flood of lings streams into Zen's base. At that moment, 2 dts walked into their bases. The excitement! The engagements!



Peace was restored at the somewhat 8.21 mark. WHAT?! HE CALLED US DUMB?!! THIS IS WAR!!! TAKE NO PRISONERS!!

The game became more intense... ling runbys into Zen's doing heaps of damage... stalkers trying to take us on... but we held!! And... [Read More]

Ready to wear!~

003 coming soon . . . . . . .

Was watching Acer Teamstory cup EG vs iG when I saw the most incredible thing ever. iGJim killed Jaedong, Thorzain, Suppy and revival. He is at this time currently up 2-0 vs Quantic killing hyun and massan holding 1 base baneling busts with 1 zealot and one sentry.

Hey guys,

It has been a VERY long time since I've written a blog here and (fortunately for me) a lot has happened. As some of you know, I declared a weight loss goal in early 2012. I promised myself that I would run/hop/skip until I lost a lot of 'weight'. Well, I want you guys to know that in my first attempt in around February, I was unsuccessful. In fact, after weeks of healthy eating, I relapsed and it felt like I put on more weight.

Truth is, I did. From around April-June-ish I... [Read More]

Ok Summer holidays have begun, I mean..really it's winter..but its still summer holidays.
So what am I getting up to?
1- Starcraft, I'm getting decent ping to na atm, and I have yet to try out kr, but I expect good things, Korea being fairly close to Japan, should be gooood.
ZvP - Trying out a bunch of things, quite happy with this MU atm, my build is really refined, just trying to work out a few things regarding my muta -> ultra bane style, such as whether or not to go double evo.

ZvT -... [Read More]

Because probably noone will watch it, I'm just going to recount the most epic PvP I just had.

Watch it yourself! --> http://www.sc2sea.com/replays.php?do=viewreplay&id=2038

Fine I will recap it.

It was a PvP on Ohana (I randomed), and given how I don't like PvP, I went for my standard PvP build:


Proxy 2 gate! Unfortunately, he scouted it with his probe after seeing nothing in my base, and promptly puts down a gateway and forge. (His pylon is on the low ground because... [Read More]

I was looking through my folders of photographs and I found this



I thought it's quite lol-worthy xD

So I figured it was about time I did one of these; I doubt it will come close to the spectacular versions both mafia and iaguz have offered us, but hey its all for laffs.

To begin this magnificent game of magnanimous proportions, I decided to open with the "savior build" which many protoss on our very own sea server will be familiar with.


Little did I know; but toss opponent had plans of his own =0


Up until this point I had yet to suspect the toss playing, lets say, funnily,... [Read More]

So it's time for another ladder game on NA and i run into this lovely protoss player called PeaKnuckles

I start by opening my standard 15 pool 16 hatch ZvP opener and i'm surprised he lets my hatch down without using his probe to block it... little did I know he was intending to let my hatch up! damn those tricky protoss players!



This is one of the things that a Zerg player absolutely hates to see happen to them.



So I react pretty quickly, pull my drones and start using the... [Read More]

So I'm waiting for my Playhem games and in the meantime I decide to search NA ladder, hit this terran guy called "vVvRuFF". Most of you that know him, would know that he's got quite the reputation for his playing style.. little did he disappoint.

So I go into the game expecting the unexpected of course, what do you know... the good ol' lovely depot bunker block at your ramp



I manage to clear it out and we transition into a somewhat normal game.....



With my good scouting in... [Read More]

Hi everyone!!!

Helloooo.

A while back, a friend of mine had showed me some song called Black & Yellow. Now, im not a fan of rap music. So I didnt really like it, but the instrumental was catchy. I went home, and was sitting at my desk, quite bored. So I then decided to write a song. I said.. eh.. why not. Lets try make this song a bit more my style. xD Because starcraft, can make any song more awesome. I wrote this a loooong time ago. Its not 100% correct. But its a fun parody. So enjoy.

Ah I love being able to do one of these. Recently tgun was lamenting the lack of Bielsko in SEA tournaments. And to be sure the guy could come up with some clever stuff. But I think I found his Asian doppelganger.



Someone should tell him that pylons don't have "lower depot"



Proxy robo bay....



**** it TWO robo bays!



Load up let's go! Note that this is the first part of the game that he'd actually scouted any part of what I had. He had literally no idea what strategy I... [Read More]

Tim should watch my stream more often, so he can learn amazing plays like this one:



8 ladder points well earned I think.

This one's a bit short. It's silly and not very funny, but I think I found Tgun's KR doppelganger.



Playing against this style is a bit terrifying for a few reasons. The first is that you look really dumb for not making blue flame hellions (which I stubbornly refuse do to). The second is that because lings do not cost money, you're in constant fear for when he switches gear and dumps all that gas he's surely mining into something that does cost money. Like ultras. Or infestors. Or, you... [Read More]

I hate it when I start doing really well on KR one day and the game decides I must be of a GSL worthy skill level so it matches me up against ******* 7th GM's.



Note: this is a reference to something Rossi asked Fin on twitter. Basically we weren't sure if what he was doing was his legit proper strategies. Fin's response was "No I only funny games for fans". We now use it as a saying for not taking things seriously, ie "I was gonna study hard for the test tomorrow but instead decided to... [Read More]

Moral of the story kiddies, you must make sure to scout their everything!

Hello! I know that numerically this is 'Day 4' of my exercise plan, but I've decided not to count my recovery days as a part of my plan because my recovery days would subtract around 12 days from my total, which would give me 2 weeks less to achieve my goal!

Anyway, today my legs were feeling pretty good. I rested them for around 32~ hours, after a massive KBBQ session at Jong Ga in Brisbane, and then an all-night sc2 binge with the boys.. I ended up getting to sleep around 9am on Sunday... [Read More]

Alright, so this is Day 2 of a 60~ part blog (I'm actually writing this a day behind, so realistically I am on day 3 right now) and I have to say that I'm performing a bit above my expectations.

1/Exercise.
Today's goals were to continue my normal exercise regime but there was an added twist.. I was going out clubbing that night. So basically I ran around 6 km before I left for my friend Shockwave's house.. and we did probably 1.5k~ together. It's not a huge deal I know.. and it is a... [Read More]

Hey guys, I know this is a bit late, and I was going to type it up last night but I really couldn't be bothered.

Anyway, I've decided to break down my weight loss into a few separately tiered goals.

1/ Fitness- I must be fit enough to run at least half a marathon.
- That means lots of cardio, every day if I can. I'm allowed one rest day a week (I'm thinking it will be on Sunday). Otherwise I am running a minimum of 4km a day, and 8km if I am not working and I have the time. The runs... [Read More]

Hey guys!

I don't know if you are aware of my existence (I know some in the SEA community are) but I have been a part of the community since launch but really immersed myself around April last year. I was more of a spectator than a player for most of last year, and only recently decided to 'get good' myself.

I have to say that this decision is perhaps one of the best decisions I've made in the past 18 months. For the first time I feel a desire to achieve something. This game sparked a... [Read More]

Howdy gang,

Just thought I would share with you all something special that happened to me today at the SupaNova Pop Culture Expo in Brisbane.

For anyone who's never had the chance, SupaNova is one of Australia's largest Pop culture expo's and it travels from Brissy, down to Sydney I believe. They've got all sorts of collectables, (my gf bought a replica of the Master Sword from Legend of Zelda today!) comics, games, and movie stars. Well worth the day if you ever get a chance.

Of... [Read More]

Good day

I am an ordinary sc2 player that decided I would write about my experience playing this game. Read it if you want, dont if you dont. I suppose the purpose of this blog is to resolve that question that is in every newbies brain - why am I gold? Firstly introductions:-

http://www.sc2sea.com/blogs/attachme...1&d=1309784421

I am Volition (Volition.893 also known as Josh) and this is my first RTS. I purchased the game in about December, and started playing as protoss for a while.... [Read More]
