Just a quick short blog post -

As many of you may know, I've been streaming a whole lot recently. It started off when I got the D3 beta and I wanted to stream it, so I finally decided to figure out how to set a stream up, and it just carried over to SC2 from there naturally.

I stream basically all the time I'm playing, so you can tune in any time! Special thanks to the regular viewers such as Bjornbrandr, Dtorr, Zoom, Nemo, Antarnis, minimat, Aean, etc...
I'm sorry if I left your name... [Read More]

Hi Guys,

It's Sunday and it's a day where i like to reflect on the week, catch up on personal stuff like emails, twitter, and my thank-you notes, inspired by Late night with Jimmy Fallon. And I'd like to share them with you.

Please play this music in the back ground -

Thankyou, Blizzcon.
For Revealing new units, that probably aren't going to be anything like it when it gets released.



Thankyou, Carrier & Mothership.
For being... [Read More]

I've always wanted to stream and I recently got a kickass computer so I am going ahead.
I will generally be streaming from 12AM AEST - 1AM AEST.

My stream will consist of;
Laddering on SEA/KR/NA
Custom games with my team
Coaching lessons
Commentary of SEA games

I love interacting with my viewers so if i'm only playing music and not talking just ask for some commentary and I'll happily talk about what is going through my head.

I consider myself a... [Read More]

I know, I know. It's been a while. A long while, since i posted a blog, which i promised would be coming every week. I apologise to all of you out there who were waiting with anticipation (my suspicion is that no one really noticed :P). However i have an extremely good reason. One that i'm sure almost all of you will be able to understand.

My life shut down for 5-7 days because i was asked to Beta Test for Star Wars: The Old Republic. That's all i can say, because of certain factors... [Read More]

Hey guys, I've decided to throw down a streaming schedule for myself and you guys to follow me on.

A week back at school and I'm already facing exams. I haven't played at all this week because of the extra hours I've been putting in to studying so this one will be short and about my life.

I've done a lot this week, not just school work but some event organizing too. I'm running a NERF competition next month and there is a lot to cover. Place, time, guns, bullets, food, drink, coverage. A world of stuff to do. My biggest problem so far is getting people to come. Ill need to do some... [Read More]

Hey guys just wanted to share with you all a fail that happened to me recently. I entered the Blizzard writing competition yesterday, filled in the entry form and everything.

Then today i checked my email and found an email from Blizzard saying that they have received my entry. Unfortunately when I looked at the bottom of the email I saw that I accidentally ticked the box which said,: I am a published writer.(Im 15 years old only)

I facepalmed myself so hard and went about sending emails... [Read More]

Just a quick update on what I'm up to for those interested -

1) Still continuing to ladder regularly as RANDOM and STREAMING!
I'm enjoying playing all 3 races and letting the random dice decide which I use I am still in Diamond League but I am winning a considerable portion of my games (60%?)... hoping it doesn't promote me though haha as my P and T aren't up to scratch yet (my Z is nothing to boast about)

And because my PC is decent and I've a good Internet connection, I can basically... [Read More]

Back when people didn't have the beta for SC2, there was a shit-ton of competitions on the internet to get a key. Subscribe to my YouTube channel, reTweet this picture, show us your boobs, that sort of thing.

Anyway, one of the competitions was a fan-fiction sort of thing. A bunch of surprisingly good writers posted their efforts - I remember one poem call "My Ling Skip" that was fantastic - including myself.

I didn't win, but I thought I'd try and clean up the story a little and post... [Read More]

This last week of holidays has been so boring that school seems good to go back to. I miss my physics class and being smarter then most of the people in my class. I can only play so much Starcraft before I'm sick of it.

I got casted on the BSGCL this week and it was fun. I really love entertaining the crowds with some unusual play, some Ultras at 12:00 and a six pool that put me ahead economically. I killed the little creatures and was all round awesome. It was great to go back to the video... [Read More]

Hello, everyone. I decided to do one, too.

I just played a game on NA, against a guy called "darkdreams", a PvT on The Shattered Temple (I'm the protoss).

I start off the game with my customary "hlgf", to which I recieve the response "die !@#$%^". Now, there are many words which consist of six letters, but for some reason I can only think of one that he would have used...

Naturally, I am a bit offended, but I don't reply. I just tell myself "he's going to do some retarded build, you... [Read More]

Greetings and salutations my fellow SC2SEAers, I've been enjoying some of the blogs on here so thought I'd contribute something of my own, in the form of an oldskool battle report.

About myself, I'm an average Masters Terran that uses Mech primarily in all match ups. I mostly ladder these days on NA as Optus provides better latency there. Go figure.

At present I ranked 21 in Masters league with 59 wins and 51 losses, with a bonus pool of 197.
While I would one day like to reach GM,... [Read More]

One of the aspects of City Hunter's partnership with Kingston and Xeria Gaming is to bring to the community more sc2 events then ever before, and thus On the 2nd of October we held our 5th Starcraft II event and our first in a new series of SCII comps supported by Kingston. Dubbed City Hunter's Starcraft II Kingston Cup #1

32 people from across Sydney came down to Chinatown to compete for the 1st title in this new series, even with City Hunter event regulars aLtPiG and xGKingIaguz able... [Read More]

Hey everyone!

As some of you may know, I have been recently involved in many SEA Lan tournaments/events within the last fortnight (16-09 -> 25-09), such as the Blizzcon Invitationals in Sydney, the Gigabyte E-Sports at the Respawn Lan in Melbourne, and the WCG Brisbane Qualifiers. During this time, I got to meet some truly amazing people, and am really stocked I can now call these people my friends. I had quite some ups and downs in terms of StarCraft, but came away at the...

I've been reluctant to ladder much on NA, because I tend to find their players to be a lot cheesier than other servers, as well as having extremely bad game manners. This blog is just to show what happened in the last game I played...

It was vs a Terran player called TandemFelix. Basically he 1based the entire game, said very early on when I 15hatched that I was overdroning, and just does marine tank drops all game long. Because I didnt have many bases due to him 1basing, I wasn't able to... [Read More]

Whilst jogging today I was thinking about where I was a year ago and thought I'd make a blog about what I've become over the last year, and the work I've put in to get where I am today. This is more for myself and just remembering the last year, but if anyone is interested, I hope you enjoy.

Pre SC2

Before SC2 came out, I had some RTS experience playing C&C Generals at a fairly high level, being the China Strategy moderator at cncreplays, now gamereplays.org. I was never really exceptional at... [Read More]

Hey! So I've started laddering actively again, and am streaming it every time I do at http://www.twitch.tv/crazerk... [Read More]

So, after a week (or two?) or playing SC2 again after my 2 months hiatus.... My official verdict is... I am Diamond league AT BEST. Those who have been watching my stream can testify to this.. my mechanics are horrible and all bleahz.

So anyway, I will probably be still playing more and trying to get back the feel of it all, and should be streaming on a regular basis.


Now you might ask... why on earth am I announcing this? Well because, I want to join the GPD!

Yea I actually joined... [Read More]

After heading down to Canberra for 4 days and then camping for 3 days, my time to play Starcraft this week has been next to none, however I have had some radical changes to my play in that time. I love to theory-craft, when I'm not thinking about anything else I'm figuring out numbers for combat situations or how to use the map to my advantage and in the past week I've had some really good thoughts.

My approach to ZvZ has been in question, it used to be my best match up but now I can't win a... [Read More]

I was feeling a little nostalgic and came across this article from 5 years ago. It's WCG 2006 - incidentally - at the Gold Coast Convention Center where the WCG 2011 finals will be held in just over 2 weeks from now. You'll notice a lot of familiar names and a lot of unfamiliar hair styles. Is that aLt.Ninja? Nope, that's Dox with a baby face and long hair.

So, week 2. I know, I know, it hasn’t been a full week. “Hellfyre we’re sick of hearing from you”, you’ll say. Well, Tuesday was going to be my official day to post this blog anyway, I was just a little excited about posting the last one so I posted it early. From now on, Tuesday is the day that this little blog will arrive to the eyes of all of you sc2sea.com frequenter’s out there.

So, what’s got me so worked up that I’ve posted two blogs in one week? If you want to find out, just skip... [Read More]
