Initially, in the eighties, there was a game of miniatures in heroic fantasy named warhammer. It basically battles round by rounds of around 6 turns of 50 to 100 minies. They
As part of my conviction to get to a high level in this game I am publicly posting most of my replays and self analysis. I would appreciate high level insight into my replays and conclusions, but it isnt necessary, this is mostly a tool for me to be publicly accountable for my play, the good the bad and the ugly. I am currently mid-low masters on NA and SEA and main on SEA.
My goal is to get GM on SEA this year, and become a strong player. These entries might be interesting for people of... [Read More]
2011 was an absolutely horrible year in real life! The flood did ludicrous damage to my family in terms of possessions and morale. The place where I work was destroyed. I did a year at university that ended up accomplishing me absolutely nothing. I broke up with my girlfriend of almost 4 years in horrible circumstances. All in all, 2011 freaking sucked! However, every cloud has a silver lining:
I discovered StarCraft II.
And thus, I count down my top 5 moments of this year.
Hi everyone, IMIntoTheSnow / GnSPrime . This is my first post here though I joined this site like ages ago. Reason? I just ORD-ED biatches! Now I have to all time of the earth and I dont have to worry about reporting to my warrant officer( who gave me like 10+ extras? @_@)...
This was my first RTS game that I played more than 1 day. Like everyone I jump straight into playing multiplayer cause I dont really like story-telling stuffs. Chose Terran cause I didnt know you can choose races. [Read More]
Just played an epic game and felt that I HAD to share it, it was sooo intense! It will almost be play by play because no other way of presentation will do it justice.
Just to give the game some context, I was hanging around in the chatbox earlier and Shortizzz was talking about how 7 pooling was a legit strat on maps like Shakuras, TDA, where your opponent is definitely going to FFE. On Shakuras it's even better because you don't have to Drone scout, your OL will be able to tell you where... [Read More]
Frogmite is a french guy working in Singapore on the underground. He was in South of France for Christmas in his family so was I and I invited him for lunch.
So after lunch we had coffee and were dousing nicely on our chairs :
We discussed about sc2sea and people here of course. But we were also very interested in knowing the life of an expatriate... [Read More]
I will open by saying that in general I am not a fan of playing games. Sure I love to get involved in the competitive aspect and this can be seen in my choice of games over the years such as Guild Wars with it's competitive PvP aspect and of course the Blizzard RTS games. My passion lies with management or following teams, players and leagues rather than getting good at a game myself. It is a rare exception where I find myself thoroughly enjoying playing a game. Skyrim was one of the few... [Read More]

Ok this was just a simple set of practice games with my clan mate iRLdKiwi, a pretty solid ! We played 3 games in total, so let's just call it a Bo3 They were (mostly) pretty good games so I'll just writeup for fun!
Whats up guys.
For a whole bunch of you guys that don't know, BSGCL grand final is this week. Already 3 games have been played, in which Clanless is up 2-1 over FaDe A. In case you didn't read my earlier blog some time ago, I also represent FaDe A. And I'll be discussing the preparation I've done coming into the Grand Final.
BSGCL Grand Final is a BO5, and so I can be playing either 4th or 5th. Generally the latter spots mean that you may not get to play many games, or any at all but it... [Read More]
I'm aLtMrFool.439 and I'm here to post part 2 of my road to becoming the best T in SEA! Ill be posting less from now on because if I post too much, It might get irritating for some people :P
As some (or very little) of you might already know, I'm a new addition to the aLt clan and I'm very excited to be part of them Hopefully finding a clan to call home after being clanless for nearly one season(2 month?) Time, I can find more motivation to improve myself in Starcraft II!... [Read More]
HI guys, It's Monday and i usually like to take this time to catch up on personal stuff, like write emails, letters, phone calls, petting kittens, chasing milly the esports sparrow, but more importantly, my thankyou notes.
Team Games For making my 1v1 rank seem completely irrelevant.
Corruptors For being pretty much a dead give-a-way that you're going brood lords.
Swarm Host For not inviting me to your swarm party
Chronoboost For getting that supply blocked sentry out faster. [Read More]
I played on the Korean servers since launch and today I got my SEA account.
First thing, I'm not a good player so some things I say might be just because I wasn't capable enough to defend it.
SEA Players use cheese tactics too much. In my 5 placement matches 4 of the matches were either cannon rushes, or some 7 pool or a Barrack landing in my mineral line.
After only winning one placement match, I moved to Bronze (omg. fail :3). And in Bronze I cannon rushed my first 3... [Read More]
HI guys, It's Tuesday (Been pretty busy this week and it's a bit late) and i usually like to take this time to catch up on personal stuff, like write emails, letters, phone calls, petting kittens, but more importantly, my thankyou notes.
Carriers For being yet another target that vikings can take down in one volley
Psi Storm For doing so much damage do those roaches, only to let them burrow and regen all their health again before my energy is back... and now im dead.
Was so excited to go to Korea that I ended up waking up pre-maturely, couldn't go back to sleep and hence this blog! My flight leaves tomorrow night, although I have been to Korea 6 times previously it was always just to Seoul, this time I'll be going to Busan, the 2nd Biggest city in Korea! Chloe says theres a sort of rivalry between people from seoul and busan cause they are from different provinces, speak slightly... [Read More]
Some of you may or may not know me :P, and for those who dont well you will shortly
A couple months ago I made masters, and I think like all other players I was overjoyed!!! Thinking to myself "I might actually be able to get somewhere with some practice!!!" I made sure to keep hitting that ladder button, play as many matches as I can, analyse and practice.
I will admit these past few months have been the best few of my life, giving me something to strive for.
Hi Guys!
Today is Sunday, and as usual i like to catch up on some personal things, like check my emails, return phone calls, send postcards, pet kittens, rub magic lamps but most importantly: write out my thank you notes, dedicated to Starcraft 2.
We're approaching the halfway point of TCL4, with both SEA teams having played 4 of their 8 games. Yes there is still 8 or so weeks of group play, but I thought I'd update you guys with the standings so far!:
Group A
1st. StorM
2nd. xGKing
3rd. Dhc
4th. Nw
5th. Japan
Strom are currently the undefeated team in the group, already 3-0 and still to play Japan which is looking to be the weakest clan in the group. Xeria are currently in 2nd having lost to StorM in week 1 but defeating the other 3... [Read More]
for a while theres been some confusion over the Naming, order and winners of previous City Hunter LANs, Here I will try and rectify the issue by summarizing the results of the last 16 months or so CH has been involved in SCII
The Beginning
- City Hunter's Starcraft II Festival
Something we're extremely proud of is that we held the 1st LAN Tournament for Starcraft II in Australia (as far as I know im yet to be told otherwise)
Something that extremely annoyed me... [Read More]
Hi all! In this series of blogs I will share my experiences of my time living in Australia. For those who don't know, I lived in Brisbane, Australia - also the hometown of mOOnGLaDe - for three years until 2009 while getting my honours degree in finance at the University of Queensland. I absolutely enjoyed my time there and soooo wish I could one day go back and live there, maybe in 30 years when I'm retired! This series of blogs will be me fondly reminiscing on my time spent along with some... [Read More]
Have you ever get those feelings of wanting to play sc2 but just couldnt get to it because of no motivation? (SEEMS CONTRADICTORY)
Yeah well i do. (CAUSE OF PVP)
Playing the "easiest" race doesnt help.
PvZ is ridiculously hard to play(drone to 80 make lings make roach make broooooodlords and infestors). Well timing attacks helps alot so i allin pretty much 80% of my PvZ and get some decent winrate due to it. Yeah i know i should learn to macro but i cant ff 200/200 battle for nuts due to my...

HI guys, It's Monday (usually this happens sunday but Zelda came out ) and i usually like to take this time to catch up on personal stuff, like write emails, letters, phone calls, petting kittens, but more importantly, my thankyou notes.
Thankyou, Zergs who just make roaches all game long. I have a Void ray, Don't want to make something to kill it? No? Just more roaches.... okay, you're starting to become the new Terran race.
Thankyou, Drop in my base I knew you were coming, i just... [Read More]
I thought I would share my first ever LAN experience for those who were either weren't there or have never been to a LAN before!
I didn’t have the greatest start to my day. After looking up the brackets and seeing that I had a PvT first (the matchup that I currently cannot win) I felt that I would be happy if I could win 1 lower bracket match. This was my aim for the day!
After missing my train due to locking myself out of my house (I had to scale the drain pipe to get... [Read More]
