i don't expect anyone to read this or even take notice on this however I've had a really hard time lately and thought i'd type out my thoughts rather than keeping them in.

Recently i tore my ligaments in my right leg, which left me unable to work anymore for the next few months.

Up until now, i've barely made it through. Working different jobs all day, spending pay check to pay check just to cover our family expenses.

and then 2 days ago, the 15/2/2018 i had a performance and i... [Read More]

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 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]

Hi guys, this seems to be flavour of the day so here's an update on my retired life now that I have left behind the pains of being a high level professional StarCraft 2 player

My plan for the future... whatever works

I have made another glorious return (kekek glorious). There was no particular reason for my absence this time around, no idiotic pranks from alleged friend, no family tragedies, I just needed to take some time off. Most of that was to do with putting some fairly intense work in completing an Aged Care qualification and settling in to my work placement as part of my course. Now with most of that hard work out of the way I can finally get back... [Read More]

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]

Never got masters.. but now, I am a grand master. ^_^

All praise gosu SEA ladder.

wait, does this mean I can't play GPDL anymore? RIP

I didn't play for 3 months and then took a map off of Wally and Crimson on Day 2

ACL was awesome again, i had so much fun and ill be sure to attend the next one. My ACL experience was good, the tournament aspect went really well and I had no issues as to how it was run, I even think that the way the group players went into the championship bracket was an improvement (Baldie was trial running a new format). I did find the venue a bit cold at some points and it was a bit of a mission the get the hands going at the start of the days.

Friday
I had quite an early flight,... [Read More]

So coming into this weekend i has super hyped to attend my first ACL seeing the last few ACL's and listening to peoples experiences of them it was something i felt was a necessity and i wasnt disappointed. Admittingly results could have been better as were for alot of people. I was signed in for open bracket and was quite quickly knocked out which was a shame wouldve loved to have played on stage even if was against one of the power... [Read More]

Hey, this is Lachlan “Phoenix” Leslie – I’m a member of SYF GAMING’s Starcraft 2 Division. Over the last month or so I’ve been taking a close look at MSI GTX 960 100 Million Edition card. The GTX 960 is part of NVIDIA’s latest line of graphics cards, the 960 being the mid-range card. The 100 ME edition looks to add a bump in performance from the reference 960 card. The special green colouring celebrates the partnership of 100 million cards being made together between NVIDIA and MSI.... [Read More]

I figured that I should write about my side of the situation that happened yesterday during the WCS qualifiers lower bracket finals against Frustration.

Before we started the series, Baldie told us that it would be played as an extended BO5 series with me up 2-0 from our series in the upper bracket. The ruling wasn't contested and I didn't give it another thought and just focused on my upcoming series.

The series played out with Frustration taking the first map and me taking the second,... [Read More]

As gamers we are explorers. We are time travelers, we are puzzle solvers. With constant new worlds created for us to explore we become the masters of these universes. Every detail from our approach to problem solving to the precision of our skills are tested under stressful conditions. This define us in the digital realm, it unleashes us to heights unparalleled to the reality we live in from our jobs and study.
But good explorers need good equipment to explore these captivating worlds, as... [Read More]

The new map pool is not good for Protoss

Nuff said.

Okay we will start on Expedition Lost
1: I hate gold bases they are the worst thing in the world i know mules dont work on them but still they are so broken.
2: BACK ROCKS to the main really aren’t a good map mechanic.
3 The Distance from your main to the natural are so far away + YOU CAN NOT TAKE A 3rd AT ALL, unless u max out on 2 base and then try take a 3rd but then you will be dead cause they will have more bases

Pros: proxy... [Read More]

Hey guys. I'm not a big blog writer, but it's the start of the year, and seems like the time to do so, so i thought i'd say a little about my 2015 plans, both personal and starcraft, and some random thoughts. Those those who don't know me, i'm Eddie, 27 and live in Melbourne.

What's been happening in RL?

First up 2014 was a pretty massive year personally for me. Big year of study (while working), 3 placements, smashed out a few tattoos, celebrated my sisters wedding, and many... [Read More]

Hey Guys,

Thought I'd do up a 'little' vlog of my 2014 in sc2. It's my first time doing something like this and i felt this would be better than typing it out as it would have taken forever . I kind of one shot this so missed a few little things, but anyways enjoy!

I've finally reached a point where I am going to have to decide what exactly I want to do in StarCraft. I am giving myself this new year to really nail things down in terms of which direction I want to go.

This year has been a bit of a quiet one for me. I am very slowly becoming more active here in SC2SEA I will admit but it takes me ages to warm up into a social 'gathering'. And now here I am. Starting to become a bit more vocal and building a rep.

I just hope that rep is a good one

Hello all, I am just writing this to explain my absence from the site for quite some time as well as not streaming.

A little while ago, I decided to stop playing Starcraft 2, I hada lot of reasons behind this none worth discussing any more. I really love the game, I have watched some streams and I do check back here to see the updates.

I have gone mainly into LoL as of late and improving fairly quickly on there its been really fun.

And the next bit is pretty cool too, after watching... [Read More]

Not sure how to embed. Deal with it.

This blog will cover my experience with today's LAN at the Arena in Rundle St, Adelaide organised by Ecko Esports.

You know you are dedicated and hyped for your first LAN (in any game I might add I have never been to a LAN of any kind before!) when you show up and despite walking past that little door sandwiched between actual cafes two or three times you are there at least half an hour before the guys actually running the event



I mean seriously... have a look. Can you find the place? :P... [Read More]

Hello all, I am Gravity, better known as FeDe or Chiddiru. The weekend of 19th and 20th of July I got to be apart of something amazing within Australian E-Sports, ACL Sydney. This event year to date has been the biggest event for the scene since WCS 2012. Just going to write a blog about my journey over the days I was at the event and how I feel now that I am back home.

Friday 18th of July
As the end of my work day approached I was getting more and more hyped for the events that were to come,... [Read More]

TL-DR version

In short, Sorry AxS, DGTV, ETL, SC2SEA

Some might say I could just as easily handle this in person with messages to the relevant people but in this case I think I would prefer to make a public apology.

First of all I'd liketo apologise to those that have born the brunt of my raging recently, with my dearly loved maternal Grandmother in hospital with a stroke and fading, my Grandfather struggling to cope with possibly losing his partner of 40+ years and so on... I've been under... [Read More]

When I first started playing StarCraft ladder back in Wings of Liberty I set myself a goal. I wanted to get to Platinum league.

Me with my 18 (or lower) APM... a loss streak of 52 games before my first win (true story - my first win triggered a 10 game winning streak. That initial win came right after watching Day9s first Newbie Tuesday. The lesson was so basic "Build Lords, Build Drones"). It seemed like a huge mountain at the time. A million times bigger than Mt. Everest.

And now with a... [Read More]
