Right apparently there's a bit of shit going round about this so let's go.

I was 2-2 in groups at ACL before I had to play my team mate Pokerface. If was lucky, a 3-2 finish might be enough to put me through to top 8, assuming everyone else except ninja was 3-2 or worse. Benji did not know my results properly though and thought I had no chance at all of making top 8 so he asked that I throw my games to pokerface purposefully to smooth his way through.

I explained that whilst I had a... [Read More]

Some of you guys may already know, but I've been playing Starcraft 2 through prepaid cards and the Starter Edition. I've been asking my parents to buy me the full edition, and after a few days, they finally allowed me to buy the full edition (the NA/SEA edition, that costs around 60$)

But here's the problem. Every time I get what I've always wanted for a long time, for some reason it gets boring to me after some time. And by "after some time" I mean less than 6 months. I'm afraid that should... [Read More]

Remove 3 pylon block on all ladder maps. Do it now you fuckheads.

Oh yay they incorporated daybreak! Blizzard are REALLY listening!

Oh wait... u changed the front 4th to be a full-base... **** you.

You also don't have a neutral depot? **** you.

Seriously, that's all I have to say. 7/9 games vs toss on ladder I've been pylon blocked. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. 100% of the time it resulted in a shit game.

I understand gimicky strats being in the game but this is... [Read More]

Hey guys

So meeting all sorts of people in my line of work, I came across a swimmer who also works as a storeman and is dealing in pipes. The Government, in their wisdom came up with this little beauty, and I quote "I feel a whole lot smarter and wiser now. I don’t know how we’ve been doing our jobs without having this valuable knowledge."

All pipes are to be made of a long hole, surrounded by metal copper... [Read More]

Currently Laddering

Was a bit naughty this week, didn't submit this blog on correct day...supposed to be on Tuesday, bad Ruski bad. Because of this my rank dropped pretty significantly to rank 52 again, at least I wasn't last place in my ladder I suppose.

Anyways, this week was pretty full on. With work piling up as the weather is cooling and lo and behold, we get a lot of influenza patients at work. Because of that I didn't get to practice as much as I wished but I did practice a few... [Read More]

This is what the beard himself had to say yesterday regarding my chances of winning ACL Sydney.
I just thought i'd let everyone know in advance what's up before it happens



" if he wins ACL I'll quit and become a Chinese dota pro "

-- iaguz guzson, Yesterday 1:28 PM

Thought I'd share pics of the new gear I just set up moments before typing this Before the upgrade I had the following peripherals, all getting to the end of their lives really...

Hey guys,

Just a quick blog to let you all know about Carnage and ACL.

I'm so psyched to have 6 players in the Carnage team (and myself) competing at the upcoming ACL Sydney!!

While we may not be used to our new Razer gear we are pumped to try it out (some of the guys you may see using their existing mice or keys - this is purely because there have been a few delays getting the gear around the country to our players to practice using in time for this event.. :S)

Some of the... [Read More]

So yesterday i took a trip to the land of Sweden, IKEA.
I have to say, the way the business is set up is absolutely amazing.
I got myself a sofa bed that will fit brilliantly, a $10 table that looks elegant, some glasses (i have an obsession with glasses) and some mugs and bowls.
The couch is getting delivered today because it was too big to fit. Also i am going back to ikea to get myself a Bed lamp, another $10 desk for the bedroom, and an outdoor set for the balcony.
Should be fun,... [Read More]

Not sure where to put this so i'll put this in blogs

If anyone is interested in watching NSL Vods

Its not mine but i feel like sharing this.
Sadly it is all in chinese casting.

Its not the highest level but i think it is comparable with the EU players

So i'm in, still yet to unpack my clothes but my computer is up and running (first priority) Internet on the 16th, for now im just using a 3g stick.

Here's some quick snaps from the building.

Bedroom


View from top floor pool room


Computer in the kitchen lol

Loving it so far, went out for Thai food on Toorak Rd. Need a fridge and some chairs for beers on the balcony tho .... [Read More]

So i moved all my furniture into the new place (pics tonight, my phone decided to play dead)
and i'm surprised that everything is fitting very nicely. Plenty of room for a nice big couch.

The TV JUST fits into the corner, and i mean just by a ******* bee's dick. But it's good coz if i put it on the other side it would mess everything up, or i'd sell it for a smaller TV. But i my 50"

Hopefully my electricity is connected by the time i get back from work too. 3g internet until... [Read More]

Bit of a story Before the Point of this Blog will come up

I have been a huge fan of RTS games since the first Warcraft game on the PC in 1994, I was absolutely hooked on the game; I must have played and played through that game at least 20 times no exaggeration. The concept of the RTS game fascinated me and drew me into... [Read More]

Made a new blog entry instead of updating the old one :P

What went down in the interview

Today, I made my way down to Razer Asia-Pacific's head office, located in our little island country. Deep in the recesses of the Bedok/East Coast area, a place very foreign to me. I grew up in the west side of Singapore and pretty much studied in the west side too, for those who are familiar with the geography the island.

But I digress, located in the Chai Chee industrial area, I was given... [Read More]

Hi guys, if you saw my previous blog it mentions that i'm moving out into my own brand spankin' new apartment in South Yarra, Vic.

Tomorrow is the day where I get the keys and moving everything in, then relaxin' that night by playing some games and such (if i have electricity, which i should) and beers!

I'll take pics and such, when i get in, it's small so there wil be like... 1 pic hahah,

Nervous, hope stuff doesn't break, have to disassemble my computer and transport my 50" plasma... [Read More]

Last week, I posted a thread about Razer Singapore hiring. I thought it was pretty cool since there are quite a few capable writers in sc2sea, and I believe that they could more than handle the job.

Well, I wrote a non-conventional cover letter just to see if it would work. They actually called me up for an interview! Here's the cover letter as requested, just gonna cut and paste the content.

Lately I havent played SC2 that much, infact I havent done anything AT ALL. Time passes and im not studying (Im currently on on of the last highschool years) I´m not getting any practice and I totally cutted sports out of my list. I also have tons of problems to sleep at night.
I dont really know how to get the motivation enough to organize and I dont even know how to organize my self.
I feel really tierd the whole day, cant really play more than 40% which its just sad. At night I cant sleep... [Read More]

Hey guys, it's been something crazy like 2 months since I've updated with my weightloss regime.

Basically my weightloss has been going steady, I've lost around 6-7kgs (MORE IF I've JUST BEEN TO THE BATHROOM, M I RITE FELLAZ). However at the ACL qualifiers in Brisbane, I appeared to look bigger than I had before. My friends tried reassuring me saying that I just picked poor clothing to show off my loss.. but I hate that sympathetic crap. All it did was reassure me that I need to push myself... [Read More]

Inspired by deL's blog and my love for comics/superheros i've come up with my own tounge-in-cheek list for the 3 upcoming hollywood blockbusters we can look foward to in 2012. Oh i am so excited!!!!!!!!!

For fun, I thought we could take a TV show or even movie that we like and pick the cast out of SC2SEA or your clan members. The idea is to match people up from the community who remind you of a certain TV show character, or cast it with community members who fill the same role as their TV counterpart! Have some fun with it - put as much effort in to the explanation or let us work it out for ourselves n_n Here are my efforts:

I'm going to be on holiday from school soon, and as Americans kindly give students 3 months to get fat and forget academic things, I figure I should say 'hi' to my home region.

So, how y'all doing?

In the future (ie: non-university time) I'll be streaming ladder and custom games with commentary, so if you want some analysis, you're in luck (I just hope you like Protoss). Hopefully I can also get back into doing some local tournaments as well.

Whether I'll actually physically be in SEA... [Read More]

Disclaimer: I did not write this- unknown source, just sharing

I have recently made one of the biggest mistakes in my life, and I offer my story to you, that you may learn from my error. It all started, as many things do, with me having trouble shitting.

No, I was not constipated. This was not a regularity problem but a matter of technique. It seems my ass-hair had grown to such a length that tiny balls of shit were constantly getting tied up in the matted jungle between my ass-cheeks. It... [Read More]

This will probably mostly apply for TGM members but I'm going to start coaching again.

* This only applies to Terran players. Don't ask for coaching as a Zerg or Protoss I'll give you bad advice.
* All lessons will be streamed for the benefit of the common man and so you can go back and watch it again if you missed anything.
* Fee is $20/hr through paypal, which is standard fare for this sort of think as far as I know.
* I can teach anything Terran and go through replays etc the whole... [Read More]
