During the past month, I played this 4v4 game with my friends Mint, Spartan and TAGurPrgnant.
When the map loaded up, I noticed I was in the isolated spot away from my 3 other friends. We had called it the 'bait'. Why? Well, traditionally whoever gets that spot dies first.
Mint's reaper was the first to spot our trouble... our opponent's 3 has decided... to get a lot of barracks... I mean like a whole lot of them.
She alerts us and Tag... going for his famous "I'm going to mass... [Read More]
Mackenzie is a literal based god so even though he hasn't been playing a ton I'm sure he's gonna win the series, but zvz is super weird so i'll give demi a game. Also demi is pretty swell too so im sure he'll do well in lower bracket anyway
PSiArc 0-2 Enderr
While PSiArc is literally #1 nice sea I'm sure, Enderr is just insane, and good. Not insanely good, just literally insane - I had no idea what's going on in half of the... [Read More]
Predictions, come at me! look kinda neat now!!! upper bracket
Wally vs Snute
What I'd like
I'd like Wally to trash Snute 2-0 tbh im not a snute fan idk why. wally seems like a lad tho.
What i think will happen
Sadly i think snute will win this one, although wally mustve improved a ton to get such a high seed so going with 2-1 snute and hopefully wally pulls off an upset
Petraeus vs Gumiho
What I'd like:-
Petraeus 2 vs 1 Gumiho
What I think:-
Petraeus 1 vs 2 Gumiho
**sorry for shitty formatting and/or grammar errors, I usually just write and think about how shit it looks afterwards :^)**
I was thinking of writing a massive introduction explaining everything that I've personally dealt with and experienced during the 3 years of running one of the larger sc2sea clans, but honestly, I just want to open a discussion for one of the largest issues that is plaguing the sc2sea clan "scene" right now, and hopefully get some feedback on what should be done....

In the events of being betrayed but the one he lived up to and admired in the status of casual...His story begins now.
More to follow, about the exploits of Spartaz and his journey to finding his way as the last true casual
Paragraph 1: - Contributor Spartaz
A cold winters morning, or was it afternoon, the days have been blurring into one. After an arduous trek to his inescapable prison that was his place of learning, Spartaz decides to reminisce to happier times, those days that he... [Read More]
ACL Sydney 2015 was, in my opinion, the best ACL yet. The venue was good and not too far away from various food places. For once there were no lag/dc issues for the entire first day (only issues came when the CS dudes unplugged the net not once but twice on day 2 -__-) and most importantly, I had the most fun chilling out and talking with people, especially my SYF teammates. We all cheered for each other and watched each other's games when we could and it was a great experience.
NOTE: If you don't play CSGO, just ignore this blog
Hey guys! Just making this blog to send a signal to any SEA (yes specifically SEA only coz Aussies have different servers) CSGO player out there, possibly Nova+ ranked. Planning to make just a simple 5 man squad. (This is just so that we can have a solid group to play with and rank up together )
I'm doing this coz I'm so tired of carrying guys who can't aim properly for their level and/or can't understand+speak English. Lost so many... [Read More]
The night i thought i was going to have a good night, it started as the girl i know was going to come out clubbing with me and my mates but around 5pm she messaged me saying she has a headache and wasnt going to come out clubbing.... At that moment it was the worst feeling and feeling like shit i went around to my mates to start drinking, started drinking straight away and playing beer pong, we were using Rum (Captain morgan) and ginger ail a very good combo atm. so pretty... [Read More]
So starting friday i had nothing really on till about 5ish where my mates were like lets go out to mandurah which is about 40minutes drive to the pubs, we got there around 6ish and started at a Irish pub and being a Irish pub i think everyone had to be Irish to work there. Started of with a few pints of beers and then went onto vodka and orange because well thats my favourite drink, at around 8pm after being there for a couple of hours my mate got kicked out for being to...

One fine evening... on the lovely map Vaani Research Station... there was a probe. Sent to scout around with the memory that this player might had cheesed before...
wow WOW, what's this?!!!
To battle! This evil probe obviously has evil intentions!!!
First blood!! To the disbelief of my opponent.... that should teach him not to cheese!
This probe deserves a medal and a raise!
PS: *This also ends up being my shortest legit 1v1 game ever*... [Read More]
I, as of today will be stepping down from SYF Gaming and playing as a solo player, as I think I probably should be teamless and also I dont think I belong on a team.
SYF gaming was really helpful and supportive to me and is a very good team to be in and the players are awesome to talk to and so is the manager Matt (INSANO), so thanks for everything guys it has been fun.
I WONT be joining anymore teams in starcraft or teams for along while as I dont think I suit them or do I deserve one. I... [Read More]
With all this drama going on, I think we need to lighten up a bit.
I have like $30 and the store is close, I shall go there tomorrow and buy as many things as I can and eat them in a sandwich.
What things? Well, first 10 people to post can write 1 ingredient each and I shall buy them~
Don't post stupid crap like "dog shit" or "dank memes" (memes would be yum though)..
If I could be fucked i'll stream it, otherwise i'll just take pictures
It's been a busy 2-months since I got back from Europe. I've attended PAX, won the ACL online Series, two Masters Cups, a SEACraft Cup and the SLCN/SYF Dominion Cup!
I've also been streaming a lot and have seen my viewer-base climbing very quickly where 250+ viewers has become an everyday occurence! I've been consistently putting up highlights of cool micro and amusing/funny moments from the stream onto my Youtube each day so people who miss... [Read More]
This cool game can be found under the 'arcade' section on SC2. Choose the one with the starry starry night icon. Best played with at least 5 friends and skype for giggles. I actually captured our games from the past 2 days on my stream so feel free to peek to see what it is like in game.
Last evening however, we had a full house of players (almost!)
We had some famous personalities that we attempted to guess what they represent or who on earth they are.
The SEA server has had low population problems late WoL and also for majority of HotS. The skill level has consistently gone down with time, although for a good reason. The best players opt to go to the Korean or north American ladder, for higher level players and shorter queue times. When the top tier players left, the next tier under then left for better opponents, and so on. The grandmaster league in SEA is essentially dead, with currently only 8 players in it at the time I'm writing this.... [Read More]
Sometimes it's exciting to watch the pro games e.g. GSL, IEM, ACL
and we have our competitive tournaments and friendly but competitive clanwars...
But many of us are not playing at that pro level and start to rage when we think we should be at that level or close to it if we have played a zillion games. (I mean how many people do we know say "I should be / " or rage/bm etc)
So this blog hopefully reminds us that we gotta remember to have fun too
We often believe the more we practice a skill or technique - over and over again, many times - the better we'll get. This is not necessarily true. In fact, every time you practice a technique incorrectly, you're increasing your chances of doing it wrong again. It's easy to become very experienced at repeating the same mistakes. Practice doesn't make perfect; only perfect practice makes perfect.

Yo guys, wrote something about what's going on in Australian eSports, if you dig it, chuck it on Twitter and share it around.
Excerpt & link below:
***********************************
Scenes are disjointed. We've got League of Legends, the largest. StarCraft II is still kicking along, many predicted it's bubble effect but it's definitely staying strong. Call of Duty has a big scene. DotA 2 is building, slowly.
Australia's Counter-Strike scene is probably the oldest but following a... [Read More]
This site continually insults me, calling me a lurker, so I thought I would do something about it.
Overall I had a great time casting the Rising star tourney with Insano. The brackets went along incredibly smoothly I can't really think of any issues of the top of my head apart from my own casting! It was quite funny going through the vods and hearing how awkward it was at the beginning. Also big thanks to Duckville for casting on the other stream, I really enjoyed nipping over... [Read More]
