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 end of the... [Read More]

Well it's been a long week and I have learnt a lot. My play has become better and I can feel the call of the Gold league yelling at me to come near.

With the Ultra build time decrease coming along with the new patch I decided to go for fast Ultras. My first opponent was a protoss. After 15 min I had 8, +3/+2, Ultras on the field. His ball of Stalkers and Colossi went down in a ball of psionic flames. However with the new found confidence in Ultra, a price must be paid. My beloved fungal... [Read More]

Hey guys, PoisoN here.
Call me inFeZa (my BW ID)

I've been on hiatus from SC2 for a while now, i still play for fun with friends and stuff but i don't have time any more to play as competitively as i did on SEA and NA, and more recently on KR servers. I was happy where i got, playing some of the top players in NA and SEA, getting featured twice on the day9 daily.

Now i play for fun, and i'm reliving the old days by playing some Broodwar. Right now i've been playing Singleplayer... [Read More]

Yes, I’m another blogger. No, you probably don’t know me. Oh, some of you may have seen my name at the bottom of a post somewhere, or you may have seen me whine about this or that. You may have even read one of those posts and thought to yourself, “you know what... That guy has a point.” Even more likely is you reading that post, shaking your head and thinking “idiot.”

Brace yourself for massive walls of text. As this is the first of what i hope is many blogs, there is a little more content... [Read More]

Hi guys, Remember me?

Yeah, Probably not... anyway,

I've been playing LoL and SCBW for now, but i still follow the competitive SC2 Scene a lot and I've been in talks with Level 3 (http://level3.org.au/) about writing content following some eSports news content.
Just a heads up that i will be following not only the major tournaments (mlg, gsl, dreamhack, wcg... etc (other games besides sc2 also)) but i will follow some things on SEA too.

I probably will also be helping out Manabar... [Read More]

Selling some of my "second hand" personal gear. These are actually prizes I recently won and are completely 100% new and unused. Some of these are fantastic products that have nice starcraft 2 APM features that I would use myself had I not already had invested in my own gaming gear setup which im already very comfortable with. Note - You must stay in Singapore, don't wish to pay for shipping.

After a small discussion with a friend on the way home from Uni we got talking about
Queens and mainly the inject mechanic of Zerg production.

Which then reminded me of a quote that Nestea said, he basically said that at the current
top tier level of play, if you miss an Inject you are then playing at a disadvantage, and every
other missed Inject adds up. As well as Queen kills etc.

So then we came across the question, how would you chance the mechanic to be less
brutal on zergs who... [Read More]

So the first phase of my journey as outlined here is done!

I took the effort to take down a one-liner as to how each game went, and perhaps this game will give Gold players an idea what it takes to get promoted? Hmm.

What led me to make this post was the introduction of PDCL (Platinum Diamond Clan League). Well, there were other precipitating factors but this was the trigger I suppose.

I was never really a fan of RTS games before - seeing as most seemed to involve no strategy and just about getting more units. I could never see the strategy in them and still don't in most RTS games.
But then I stumbled across some casted games from the beta of sc2 and was intrigued.

After some time passed bored and a friend with a guest pass led me to download sc2 and give it a try and I enjoyed it enough to buy it.

Now since then I have had technical problems not to mention my... [Read More]

SEA blizzcon was ******* amazing, and this is coming from someone who spent the whole weekend somewhat bitter/depressed about not playing (grumble). I think there's probably enough coverage (or there's going to be) about the event and I'm not going to talk about it too much so I'll condense to highlights and shoutouts.

An arseload of media folk showed up throughout, taking interviews, photos, doing segments, including some folk from something called Save Point, quite a few Blizzard folk (lan... [Read More]

Despite the title this has nothing to do with actual sex. I named it such as I thought it was a good phrase for saying "I'm playing Starcraft 2 for a year".
Anyway, this is my weekly blog on all the things I learn about Starcraft, the experiences I've had with the game and maybe a bit about my personal life as well.

Chapter 1 - My life now.

So I'm in year ten, I'm Australian, Got a Girlfriend, I'm a Silver League Zerg Player and I'm trying to get to Platinum by the end of the year a... [Read More]

Story time!

So, today at school i was randomly browsing my files on the computer during I.T (info + tech) class. I stumbled onto My Computer and thought of what would be in the data files. So, it happened to be unblocked and i was allowed in. I had almost everything i wanted at my disposal. I had exams, past and future, results, past and future and some other sensitive files. Just then with my friend i stumbled on some of my own exams that i will be sitting in 4 weeks time.

I'm not too... [Read More]

So... some of you may know that my old PC has been down for awhile and since it was old I decided to get a new one, and have been waiting for it for a week now!

I got a custom built one from fortran, a very highly recommended forumer on HWZ (a tech forum for SG). Everyone was saying how good he was, how friendly he was, etc. So i decided to try him out!

Ok I know some of you tech geeks are just waiting to see the specs and don't care for my storytelling, so here they are:

For anyone who gets nervous laddering, or has a lot of pent up adrenaline after laddermatches -


After every ladder match, do

• 20 pushups
• 20 squats
• 20 dumbbell curls

and/or whatever you're comfortable with. Then watch the replay.

By the time you're done watching the replay, you've worked all the adrenaline off, you're calm, composed, and ready to smash some more nerds.

I got supernervous helping Pig out on his stream while he was coaching today, and a quick set of... [Read More]

I've been keeping myself very busy by getting involved with a wide range of organisations and sponsors lately, and as a result - I'll be behind a large number of events over the next 3 months. I haven't finalised all of the details yet, which is why you probably haven't heard about most of these events, but here's a sneak peak at what I've got planned. I'll be posting threads and articles about these events in the very near future, so keep an eye out!

Lol XD

Hey guys! I've just come back from a 2month hiatus from SC2, and I can't wait to start playing again! Have been busy with WoW and just recently quit!

The problem now is my PC just died on me, and I'll be replacing it ASAP. I have a laptop but I was never able to play properly on it.

Anw obviously after 2 months of not playing.. My skills are rusty like hell! I hopped on a friend's account to play 3 ladder games (he was Plat) and LOST all 3 games ag Plat players! They were pretty clearcut... [Read More]

Does the pending 1.4 update actually change much about the mass contaminate? For those of you who dont know, mass contaminating is when you continually contaminate a building so it cannot actually produce anything.

LETS DO THE MATHS!

So, according to liquipedia 2 (I also checked in sc2 to be sure), "Every unit type has a fixed maximum energy value of 0 or 200 and a natural energy regeneration of 0.5625 energy per game second".

The 0.5625 energy per game second part is relevant to... [Read More]

One of the fellows over at WCR (Rave) wrote a really nice, detailed blog on the most epic SC2 Matches thus far. I pretty much agree with almost all of his choices, and with the GSL's Birthday coming up in a few days, I thought people might like to catch up on some of the most amazing games they never got around to seeing.

Seriously? They're all terrible. And to top it off, they refuse to make me one with oreos and strawberry topping. This sucks.

Also, I have a beard.

I haven't shaved in two weeks. To some, this may not seem like a huge deal, but for me, this is the longest I've gone without shaving since I was like fourteen or something.

I've experienced the soaring, soaring heights that come with facial hair, but also the dark, depressing, lows that people don't often tell you about (it itches... [Read More]

After a couple of weeks hiding in the woods. I now have a new pair of headphones.

For those who are wondering they are the Steelseries Siberia V2, such good headphones and defiantly recommend them to anyone who are looking for a new pair :P

But this good news comes with some Bad news, as all news does.

I will be doing less live online events (Probs one a week, and more than likely that will be the BSG) and focusing more on the YouTube channel casting whatever replays I get from events,... [Read More]
