I went to a hamlet that was a century and half ago just a "Mas" witch means in Occitan (old language of south of France) a farm. That Mas belong to my ancestors (mother side) and grow to a hamlet. It is about 500m in altitude.
It is surrounded by peaks the highest being 1700m (Mont Lozère).
So the south of the village belongs to cousins and one of the... [Read More]
Haha .. i wish i was going to Blizzcon but im not. Well .. i just recently got the Blizzcon virtual ticket and i will be viewing them in the comfort of my home. Its better that nutting right
Im just wondering what SC2 exclusive portrait will be given at Blizzcon this time around and i hope there are some plush toys (plush probe ftw!) for sale when the exclusive Blizzcon store opens up.
I'm leaving Singapore for good in 7 days. This, obviously, means I will also be leaving SEA for the most part - timezones are too different to really stay around the scene and I'll have other stuff to do.
Howdy howdy!
It has been quite the while since I wrote part 5 of this journey. Why is this? It's because I have recently started a company with my friend and despite being new, we have quite a few jobs already! For those interested, it is a software engineering company that sets up and creates tools specifically for small businesses.
ANYWAY! On top of that, I am at heart a professional Quake player, and my last ever CTF tournament final was coming up (I'm transferring to SC2, yay!) so I had to... [Read More]
So with the beginning of season 3 came a slight surprise to me, I was promoted to plat! I figured the land of milk and honey awaited. However, something felt amiss. I had lost my placement game, and the loss didnt hurt as much as the manner in which i lost.
It was a (failed) cannon rush into one base two stargate + zealot. I had crushed the cannon rush and killed 7 pylons + cannons. But then suddenly there was this other threat in the shape of VR pheonix- and i was unable to... [Read More]
Yeah! its me again. Some of u guys may say that laddering does no literally improve your game but for me, it really has improve my games by a mile.
Well .. most of my ladder games, i always go for an aggressive build, im not sure if its the right choice or not, but im an aggressive player. I always would end my matches below the 15-20mins mark, if not then somehow i will most certainly lose in the late game.
Im so used to this type of aggression play and some of my... [Read More]
My headphones has now officially died. I have been using them for about 4 years now and they are no more.
They lasted quite awhile thanks to duct tape! But now they are beyond repair. I get no sound from the headphones and the mic makes me sound like a robot, which is super cool, just not cool for casting.
Which leads me to the next point, because I don't have any headphones, I wont be able to cast at all until I get new ones, which may be a long time because I... [Read More]
My fellow FaDe team mates and anyone who has had more than one conversation with me probably knows that I tilt and get really angry very easily.
When I am calm of mind I do see problems with game design in sc2 and architecture in BNet I do feel that terran is too well constructed and protoss is - depsite having holes in its construction much like zerg - is very much easier to play.
But when I try my best and doing things like multi pronged harass, holding off push after push only to hit a... [Read More]
Laddering lately has summon me to write this blog, since i got nothing better to do.
This season 3 has been kinda weird for me, well .. not exactly weird but just curious. In season 2, while laddering, i go up against Terran, Protoss and Zerg players. Now at season 3 .. u can say im going up against Zerg 99% on ladder, yea .. its true, i never met any Terran players and i only go up against Protoss player just once since season 3 started until now. I just find that very odd.
It's a Monday night and I feel like my brain is being sucked out of my head. My school course is ridiculously easy to the point where I believe a brain dead raccoon could get straight As. Starcraft has lost it's buzz after the 50th game this week and Minecraft provides no comfort. My favorite sitcoms are no so unfunny that I may actually pull my hair out a single hair at a time. You are probably reading this and going either "Wow his life sucks" or "I'd hate to be him" or even "Why am I wasting... [Read More]
Hey guys! I just wanted to share with everyone something that my Scouts(my CCA) PLC(basically the group of us who lead the scout troop) and I have planned from January to end of July this year. It is a Scout Gangshow which is our scout troop putting up a performance(with a few games in the middle) for our family and friends as well as other scouts/girl guides from other schools. We also invited other CCAs from our school including our school's dance CCA which did a performance. The entire show... [Read More]
So I've played another ~70 games on the KR server. This is in masters league playing against Masters level opponents, so no shitty "I do timing attack and transition into fail" players. So far...
Korean Zergs still seem to be bad. They're really aggressive, but in dumb ways. Recently I've been tuning a TvZ reaper opening and it's hard to measure it's effectiveness when about half the Zergs on KR throw... [Read More]
Since im currently at work and nutting much to do, it would be great to spend time on writing a blog
Last 2 days ago, i finally got my new keyboard and mouse after waiting 1 month for it due to outta stock. The keyboard is Razer Blackwidow and the mouse is Razer DeathAdder B.E. I was never a Razer fanboy because at that time those gaming gears was way too expensive for me. I was always a Logitech fanboy. Previously before this, all my gaming gears were the Logitech G110 Gaming keyboard and... [Read More]
So last weekend our friends invited us to visit them in Cebu, a city in the Philippines. It was our first time in Philippines and the first thing that stood out was how everyone could speak English so well. This I believe was because PH used to be USA occupied back in the day. Another thing that stood out was the disparity in wealth, this is always the case in developing nations but it became really apparent when listening to my friend talk about it. [Read More]
Welcome to part one of ShadowSketch's 100-Game Zerg Journey!
In this blog series I intend to record one hundred games of Zerg play, gain feedback, highlight achievements and, though I am currently only a BSG player, hopefully aid others too! Before I go much further I would like to write a tiny amount of backstory. Feel free to skip this section.
Previously I played Terran, reaching around a Silver level before losing interest in the game and playing WoW and BFBC2 for a time. It wasn't... [Read More]
I've noticed a huge influx of forum posts, tweets and chat conversations recently about peoples' placements, and it has occurred to me that people don't quite understand how league promotion works. Now of course, you could go and look up Excalibur's four billion page article on Team Liquid. But I'm gonna try to explain it concisely.
So. Last season you were Gold league. You really powered hard over the last two weeks and felt like you've made some significant improvements. Your win ratio... [Read More]
Season 3 has begun. Well .. i was bronze league in the past season. Im kinda disappointed at myself, making noob mistakes in my placement match, or perhaps im just simply a noob i guess.
My placement match was against Terran, I went 1 gate robo build but the mistake was i did not research my warpgate, just say that i was dead late. The Terran typical build was 2 rax all-in, i saw that coming, even build a bunker at my ramp. Anyways, i manage to FF the ramp but could not hold it any further... [Read More]
Hey guys! I've decided to retain the name of my column 'Road to Masters' because it's got a ring to it and I like it Basically when I'm going to blog about anything related to my actual gameplay, I'm going to use that as a title.
Before I continue with this short entry, if people are actually interested in reading what I've been up to, you can click to read more. If not, just skip on to the rest of it's ok. I won't be hurt. Much.
I've never actually written a blog before... but I must say I've been inspired after reading a few of the other user's entries, it's a pretty cool tool Nirvana implemented to the site! I do plan on keeping this updated with entries over the course of Season 3, hopefully to the interest of a few members; but more-so as a way I can view my own progress, issues and accomplishments throughout Season 3.
A little back-story, to give you an idea where I'm... [Read More]
I have been planning to start a blog for a while now after the CrAzerk inspired spate of blogs about people’s journey to become a better SC2 player. I finally decided to do it after yesterday’s GPD.
I’m a diamond Protoss who first started playing SC2 as a bronzie. After something like 5 months I managed to work myself up to where I am today – Diamond. If people like it, this blog will tell of my climb all the way to the top. Some games will be ladder and some from tournaments.
