DISCLAIMER - This blog is entirely not SC2 related, and is more of a personal kind of blog. If it's not your kind of thing to read about some random dude, then you can stop here
I originally posted this on my personal blog, but thought I'll just post it here too to let people who are really bored have some reading material

As some of you may know, I previously failed my IPPT (whole account here!), and as a result I had to go for remedial training in the... [Read More]
Thought I'd share my first tattoo pic with everyone. I got it yesterday thanks to CheekyDuck at Skin Deep Tattoos in Sydney. CheekyDuck has just started tattoo work and needed practice and my sister and I put our hands up. I think she did a great job and I am happy with it even if she doesn't see it as perfect haha.
Ignore my fat face

Hey guys I'm back with my first weekly blog about my laddering on SEA.
After being promoted on Friday with a very good record of 15-5, I ended up wasting my weekend doing assignments as I am in Grade 12 this year and I really want to get good grades.
Anyway after a few all nighters I hopped onto SC on Tuesday. I ended up going 2wins to 3 losses. after a forfeit win I lost twice in a row, coming back to win a PvP where I got phoenix to lift my opponents immortals. I lost again, and after... [Read More]
So, yeah. I think I've put off getting a promotion from to far too long. So, to kick myself into gear, I'm going to try to keep a blog on my journey there
And we are back with another 6 games from ThePandarine. Good week this week. I was placed up against a favoured , 2 s, a Top 8 and, much to my surprise, a . This week I took somethings I was told and learned from last week's games.This week my replay pack is missing one replay cause I played against the same person twice and overwrote... [Read More]
So, I've learned a few things from my first few days on Korea: first, my early game is awful. Over about 80 replays, I had something like;
55% 0-15m winrate
85% 15-35m winrate
What is life without that insatiable desire for adventurous escapades
Predictable and uneventful routines steal from the already poor
Whilst spontaneous and free spirited instincts pay gain to the wealthy
Suspense hanging like the noose around my throat
I led the campaign with uncertainty towards the unknown
Wading through the glowy, glittery darkness
Hand in hand around the mulberry bush
A snow white smile beckons strange attraction to spread its wings
Burning the constricting... [Read More]
Have been playing starcraft 2 for about a year now i guess. Had up and downs.
Part1 Year 2010
Started out in bronze after losing 3 of my 5 placements, chose Zerg and then did the infamous 6 pool for all of the placements. Pretty retarded thinking back now.
Moving on from the lower leagues and soon placed in platinum. Was really happy then considering the fact that diamond was the highest league u could get back then. Managed to get into a... [Read More]
A know a lot of people are going to future music festival as it travels around Australia. Here is what you can expect from the Brisbane show. My favourite 3 were Knife Party > Flux Pavillion > Skrillex
I did have text but it was cut off it goes in order of awesomeness. The third video for skrillex we had some sweet spots up on the this makeshift grandstand out of scaffolding. You can see from the camera how much it moved from all the crazy people jumping and they eventually... [Read More]
Most of my ukulele learning adventures comprises of weeding out songs I like with tutorials on youtube and hunting for tabs and chords and just plainly rip-off/copy how people do it cuz im badass like that.
However, tutorials are usually exclusively made for trashy/catchy songs so I have been trying to master the art of playing songs just by listening and using tabs, and today marks the day of one of my... [Read More]
Hey guys, my name is Larotac and I am a now gold protoss and I am new to SC2SEA. I would like to be more apart of the community so I have decided to start doing weekly write-ups. This blog will just be a practice run and will only be doing a write-up of my laddering tonight.
I started the night at about 5pm, losing my first game to a terran who dropped 4 hellions and 8 marines in my main after I failed to react to what I saw. I quickly got into focus and won the next 3 games.
So, yeah. I think I've put off getting a promotion from to far too long. So, to kick myself into gear, I'm going to try to keep a blog on my journey there
And we are back with another 6 games from ThePandarine. Horrid round cause this time around I was matched with a Top 25 , 2 Top 8 s and 3 s. I'm starting to wonder if its cause I have weird game times or just plain bad luck or Blizzard's MMR thinks I'm almost ready for that promotion (which is now further considering this week)
Alright, so I've been having this problem recently where Im doing my build, going about my own business and then all of a sudden all my drones are dead because my spines weren't in time. Obviously that is something that can be avoided, so I decided to start thinking. There are two obvious solutions:
1. Get a build which is safe against any and all hellion timings
2. Scout better and react to any hellion timings
The first sounds good initially, but you'd have to build the spines pretty... [Read More]
So this time around I decided to just do three of the more recent minimat conversations that I have found to be amusing and made some pictures to go with them, enjoy
[8:03:45 PM] Brendan Ferguson: OK minimat explain to us what you think game of thrones is about
[8:03:53 PM] Alicia: oh dear god [8:03:54 PM] matt hall: art with dead bodies
[8:03:55 PM] Nicolas Russo: LOL [8:04:01 PM] matt hall: im only 3 min 17 sec in
[8:04:04 PM] matt hall: to the first episode

Today marks the 1 month anniversary since I launched the weekly show "What Happens in Starcraft". With the 4th episode having been released yesterday I decided to write this blog to take a bit of time to reflect on the first month as we head into the next.
Although the show has only been launched for a month I initially had the idea nearly 6 months ago now. My grandparents were coming to visit from South Africa for nearly 3 months and I also was about to have full time work again so I knew... [Read More]
I discovered that my phone was able to send pictures I was taking to the Internet via Tweeter (and only tweeter).
So I tweeted some pictures of my vacations in Val Cenis today. I will go on if some are interested.
That would not be very interesting for average French people since skiing vacations in the Alpes are quite common here but it might be different in some SEA countries. So I post that for them.
Surely we cannot doubt the benefits that were promised when we inevitably signed up due to peer pressure. However where is all this use of social media taking us on a
"social level"?
Want to make friends? Why bother exploring the wonderous and enigmatic world out there beyond your doorstep when at a few clicks you could do the same, furthermore the act is tangible and your can guage your progress by some statistical value on the side of your alter-ego. Nonetheless, why are so many willing... [Read More]
Hello, thanks for reading. I´m still rushing to skill level before this season ends.
I´m trying to get better as a player and play with no cheese.

v I dont know what to do when they block my expansion. Like, if i throw my expa at third then i have to defend an... [Read More]
A lot of people know me as the long-winded analyst of the Tier 5 SEACL, but today I am going to write a bit about the new goal I have set for myself. I know there are a lot of blogs (especially after starting a new season) which state they are going to "Play 1 million games a day and never lose again and be GM by the final week of the season". Inevitibly, a lot of these people have the goal, but not the motivation or the plan to reach their... [Read More]

And we are back with another 6 games from ThePandarine. Now, this time around I was matched with a , 2 Top 25 s, 2 Top 8 s and a . I remember just 6 games ago I was matched with just s! Blizzard, fix your MMR cause I'm not that pro! ()
Here's the replay pack if you wanna see what I did wrong (or right, but seriously, why look at a... [Read More]
