Just a warning first, that the boxed section in this blog might be a waste of time for some of you. There's nothing educational there, so only read it if you have time and just wanna get involved in my thoughts!
I guess I'm so bored at work I decided to do this. So the past few months of StarCraft... wait what? Wasn't I busy with Diablo III and Hearthstone? Yeah, suddenly all that hype died and now at the start of 2014 Season 2, I find myself... [Read More]
So here we are, new season, new maps and new meta.
In the near future (season 3) I will be making my name back onto tournaments (playing not casting ) As for now, I have a solid booked out next 12 weeks, 3 days of streaming Starcraft 2 and 1 day of coaching a week with Billy (aka Flux).
With this said, coaching will be very back to basics and bring me more into a humble section of my play, I am trying to remove the persona that I am a bitter and arrogant player who puts across a "know it... [Read More]

Hello everyone!
Insano recently casted the WCS America Season 2: SEA Qualifiers on the Pathfinder Esports twitch channel. We've uploaded a bunch of the games onto our youtube in 720p with casting for you all to enjoy
hey guys I recently started playing sc2 again stopped to play wow as none of my friends played sc2 , now im thinking ill just find friends who play im bronze atm but learn fast and would love some lads to practise against =D and a clan with players my level and above to learn from.
So Zen and I are playing 2s on NA. He is ; yours truly is .
Everything seems peaceful until the 6.45min or so when a flood of lings streams into Zen's base. At that moment, 2 dts walked into their bases. The excitement! The engagements!
Peace was restored at the somewhat 8.21 mark. WHAT?! HE CALLED US DUMB?!! THIS IS WAR!!! TAKE NO PRISONERS!!
The game became more intense... ling runbys into Zen's doing heaps of damage... stalkers trying to take us on... but we held!! And... [Read More]
I've been a member of this community for quite some time but have never been active really on this forum.
This is a situation I have finally begun to remedy.
I'm finally starting to put my name out there and to my pleasant surprise a few are starting to recognise me when I turn up in a random stream and so on. People are recognising me for my casting and my tournament organisation.
As of right now I am questioning what exactly I wish to focus most of my time on.
Today, March 31 2014, I lost a very close and special friend. He passed away while me and my parents were at Hong Kong for 5 days till today. My brother brought him to the clinic yesterday, March 31, for his monthly checkup since he has had history of other illnesses. We then found out through my brother, who was left here in the Philippines, that he hasn't been eating lately and was only drinking water for the past week. (Also noticed that he started getting thinner since two weeks ago..)... [Read More]
As many of you may know, it has been tough for me recently. After leaving Frenetic Array I haven't found anywhere as a new home. I'm playing SC2 everyday of my life but my improvement just isn't there. Everyday I wake up and play my heart out at this game yet I'm not even GM. It hurts everyday.
It hurts even more when I pour so much into this game and my friends call NA GM a "scrub league." For example I used to be a better player than Petraeus, I remember playing him on the SEA ladder 1-2... [Read More]
I think it's safe to say that my absence from the BSG and GPD Open has greatly hindered them and possibly offended some.
To all, I apologise.
In the recent weeks, I had isolated myself in a bid to 'fix' my problems. It ended poorly with me ending up in the hospital.
I was only allowed 30 minutes every now and then to access the net and it was always monitored. Only recently, was I allowed to go back to my 'normal' life. (*sarcastic laugh;hahaha*)
I am glad that some how the rest of... [Read More]
I'm really looking forward to this. I've spent literally a few months of hard work making sure we get some nice stream quality and production going for NDTV. I know some of you have already contacted us to be a part of our movement, but the majority have no idea what NDTV is like... [Read More]
Hey have there been any changes to servers or anything in the last year?
Playing on NA and SEA today, and I have never lagged this hard playing SC2 ... the delay is ridiculous.. like 3 seconds to stim/pickup/boost etc. Nothing has changed on my end so I'm just wondering if anything has changed.
If nothing has changed and this is a more permanent thing, does anyone know of a way to fix or minimise the lag to the servers?
I want to preface this blog on what I think are the most necessary skills to possess if you want to be a pro gamer:
IN ORDER
Work ethic
Work efficiency
Mindset
Talent
Work ethic is without a doubt for me the most important part of being a pro gamer, being willing to put in huge hours without being distracted is instrumental to being the best player you can be.
Work efficiency is something that is often overlooked. It is overlooked by so many pros, and IMO it's because of laziness more... [Read More]
A month or so ago one night as I was drifting to sleep the thought occurred to me that I crush Terran. This was an odd thought because I had been practicing almost purely ZvP for my Challenger match, and I felt pretty sloppy with my muta-lingbane. However mech was the craze and all over ladder I was facing it in 90% of my games. It felt like I almost never lost games, even when experimenting with mass mutas, I could normally win by forcing heavy Thors and... [Read More]
Bunch of people msg'd me while I had no net, saying they'd like to talk to me about future of fray.. I have new net now, get at me!!..
I'm also, opening management/media, academy team and main team applications. If you are interested, please email me ChadMann@frenetic-array.com Or ask me any questions on skype.
I'll produce some sort of post shortly for all this, but if you are interested in helping out, or applying to be part of the future of fray, please chat with me and let me know![Read More]
So apparently i'm a lurker in this colorful community. It's time to share my thoughts and opinion to the world (the internet) ! ^__^. At the moment, the "F2" button will select all units on the entire map. In this post I will primarily focus on suggesting that we improvise the use of this wonderful button (F2). What if we only allow the "F2" button to select units which are not under the hold position "H" command. This will allow players to retain their scouting positions and help players to... [Read More]
With the events that have come up lately,I have decided to go back to my original race of terran.
Thanks to mGGCrayonPop for the twitch highlight of yume's bronze to masters should bea great starting help.
Over the course of the next 2 weeks I will be doing as much research into every match up and every potential scenario, I believe knowledge gives power and with the power you can perform.
Current research plans:

For the love of eSports
All I want to do is light the fire.
All I want to do is light the fire.
The reason I was drawn to StarCraft as a community and eSports as an entity surpassed the gaming aspect and drove straight into the heart of what I always saw - a place where outcasts the world over were accepted and celebrated for what they contributed to a game they love.
