i finally got diamond boys

i wanna thank everyone that has played with me before other than one spastic. This should be proof that anyone can achieve their dreams.

After 4 grueling, ladder-grinding, low-hydrating, arm-aching & head-aching hours, finally made it back to KR Masters :^ )


I was beginning to lose hope in the earlier parts of the ladder-grind sesh as I want on like 6 game losing streak. I began balance whining so hard in the eCKo chat. (They can confirm.) But remembering the motivating songs tempO makes all the time, I just hit play one last time and told myself, "if I win, we continue, if we lose, we sleep." 9 wins later... This happened.[Read More]

I’ve been learning Zerg lately, and I thought I’d share my thoughts.

All:
• I love that there are all these little things you can work on: injecting, spreading creep, positioning ovies and sending lings off to scout.
• I like that the majority of the micro is about positioning and controlling the meat of your army: setting up the roach hydra concave, executing the zergling flank, guiding the banelings into the clumps of marines. Infestors and vipers both have really awesome roles as... [Read More]

We at have been concerned about the lack of profit from the popcorn sales operated by yours truly, the one and only,

We investigated the mystery of why despite good popcorn sales in the past, that we were unable to afford sponsorship of BenQ monitors for our mGG peeps. Slayer then confessed that he had been secretly eating the popcorn as well!!

We discussed and decided to give him a 2nd chance.

We would like to present Slayer's new Popcorn Mobile business.



There will... [Read More]

Hello SC2SEA guys! And nice to see you, this is first post of mine. I'm not good at English, so excuse me if I write poorly.

I'm Lapack, a SC2 fan from Japan, and participants of latest WCS SEA qualifiers season 1 Yes, 5 Japanese players participated this qualifiers. (4 of them are mentioned here, great preview btw!) And as you might know, handful of their games were broadcasted and introduced as Japanese player. So I thought, many of you would naturally think, "Why these Japanese players... [Read More]

Hey guys, ProzeR needs your help in choosing a good mechanical keyboard! Would love to get feedback and opinions for different keyboards.

Some options I have are the CM Storm Quickfire TK, PRO, XT, Rapid and TRIGGER <--- (which is currently on sale).. Other brands are SteelSeries 6GV2, Corsair, *i think filco*, and Razer obviously

Some thoughts when choosing are the feel when spamming the keys, and how much the keyboard costs, as well as how long it lasted for you

Reason for this... [Read More]

So im a bit behind the time but why not for the next team league have the 8 coaches or players choose thier teams in a draft format??? would create more good matches and entertainment imo. heck i dont get to play sc2 anymore with shit net and not enough time but id tune in or stream it just for the fact choosing a winner would be way harder. imagine if say Nv (for example) were all the captains and got to choose players each. friendly rivalry to the max

also drunks stally best stally

Pro Corner with: Jared "PiG" Krensel

From having no history in eSports to breaking onto the scene as one of Australia’s best Zerg players, and when I say that, I mean best players. In the past 4 years and since the beginning of the Wings of Liberty Beta, Jared ‘Pig’ Krensel has shown that has what it takes to be not only one of the best players in Australia, but one of the top players in the World. We decided to take a look at... [Read More]

The middle of this year has been very, very busy for me. In June I was lucky enough to go to Dreamhack Summer and had one hell of an experience which I blogged about previously here: http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?id=420250. After I got home from Sweden I had a series of online tournaments such as the WCS NA qualifiers. This involved two whole weeks of adjusting my sleep schedule to sleep at 8pm and wake up at 4am every morning. Then, in the span of ten days, I headed to... [Read More]

Tonight we are extremely sad to announce that Lachlan 'PhoenixA' Leslie is leaving Phoenix e-sports. After his recent play qualifying him for ACL Melbourne pro bracket and competing quite well at the event he has decided to pursue other options within competitive Starcraft. We wish PhoenixA the best in what ever he does decide to do.

Finally back in plat on Kr. That kicks another objective off the list. Yet i still gotta do the following left.

1. Get masters on SEA
2. Get back to diamond on NA
3.Getting to plat on EU via only 6 pooling

EDIT**
No this isn't a balance whine, I'm actually pretty ok with the way hellbats currently function in the ZvT match-up. And my rant only includes ZvT really. I think this change does help the PvT and TvT match-ups.


This change actually doesn't help ZvT that much, and you should still fear the hellbat drop, heres why:

The main issue at high levels with the hellbat drop is that they were so fearful and potent, zerg (any race really) would box their entire worker line and pull it away... [Read More]

I was supposed to put this up sooner but I’ve been tremendously busy ever since coming home. I was going to give myself a one week break but upon seeing what July had in store for me I gave myself 3 days to rest instead. Beware: this is rather wordy. Maybe read it in parts…


Hi guys, this is a recap of my experience at DreamHack Summer 2013.

The lead-up to this tournament was the best I've ever had, I was able to train harder and longer, put all my experience to good use and focus... [Read More]

Finals just finished and I decided to go on all servers till the summer classes. And try to stream them at the same time!

On SEA I'm already Plat, so there's just NA, EU and KR left. Started stream this morning/afternoon, logged in to NA and played one livestreamed game. BAMN!


Thanks Blizzard...

Onwards! :P... [Read More]
