SC2SEA.com - Starcraft 2 SEA eSports Community Site

See what I did there huehuehue /hangsheadinshame
I may jumping on the sentimental bandwagon and not many, if any, people here are going to be interested but have been wanting to write a blog like this for SC2SEA for some time.
Even though this community can be extremely clique-y, something that lead me to leave this site for extended periods on two occasions, my experiences and memories of this community and its people are predominantly positive.
When I lived in Korea I didn't have a lot of... [Read More]

Hello SC2SEA!

It's been a while since this forum was a regular browse for me, probably not since last year was it in my top 8 on Chrome. I've missed it, and upon reading the chat logs the last couple of days it makes me happy to see there are still passionate and awesome people in this community.

Anyway before I get to my main point, just wanted to catch people up with what i've been doing. Since joining Frenetic Array after WCS and playing some online qualifying tournaments, I seemingly... [Read More]

NUFF SAID.

As I reflect of my almost twenty six years living in the country I have grown up in my last 13 hours here will be a blur of packing and making sure I have everything organised, all plans set in stone.

At 6am I will fly out of Auckland International en route to Sydney to make myself a new home, life and career for the foreseeable future.

Recently I was lucky enough to land the job of my dreams, working for MSi as their Australian Marketing Manager. I decided to leave University and move... [Read More]

Hi guys I have decided to leave mgg. The reasons why I have decided to leave mgg is not because of you guys. It is because i want broaden my horizens in heart of the swarm. Thank you guys for letting my into mgg. If i had not applied as bronze terran to switching into a gold zerg which was able to get all kills in clan wars. Thank you Sneak for being a good prac partner and a great protoss player. Thank you nem for being really nice and kind to people. Alpha for being a great boss of mgg and... [Read More]

Yes, an apology, for everything.


The other night, when AxS faced off against ETL's Platinum Diamond team..It was no one elses failure but mine that we sent out CLZ, an ex-masters player.
(Please keep in mind that it was my fault not his that he played)

CLZ defeated opponent after opponent, knocking out 4 of ETL's finest until he was barely defeated by ETL Typhoon.
The next game, Nekorsis won, winning AxS the clan war. (The best PvP i've ever witnessed!)

The win of the clan war was not... [Read More]

Its SC2SEA's favourite kiddo's birthday and I have compiled some of his more sfw quotes and BM. His name is forever misspelled, he is a constant source of entertainment and possibly one of the most #dedicated players in SEA. Happy Birthday Mack, you really are one of the best people in this community ♥

I've always strived to be the best player I could possibly be, and by doing so I pidgeon holed myself into doing one build in every matchup and desperately attempting to "perfect" it.

Watching Proleague has opened my eyes. Especially from a Protoss perspective. The goal of being a professional Starcraft player is not to be the "best player you can be", it's actually much simpler: to win. Proleague players seem to understand this more than anyone else I've ever seen in Starcraft 2's short... [Read More]

The Clan war community, Platinum and Diamond divisons to be precise.
Perhaps even BSG.

But what i'm asking for here, is if there is a permanent ruling on clan war's players?
As in; If I was masters two seasons ago, But finished Plat/Dia last season and am currently Plat/Dia, can I play in a PD clan war?

If there isn't a "set in stone" ruling for this, I would like to put forward that any PD managers in clans that read this put their 2 cents below and start a discussion so that we can develop... [Read More]

This blog is a shoutout to CM Storm for their Quick Fire Pro keyboard with Brown Switches!

I only switched to the Quick Fire Pro with Brown Switches a month before going to DreamHack. I was hesitant initially as I didn't want to screw up my practice schedule by having to get used to a new keyboard. However within a few games I already forgot I was using a new keyboard and my play felt faster and smoother on the feather-light keys. This was one of the rare cases of a new piece of gear...

Around January I posted a blog after I returned from a long holiday which basically stated that my goal for the year was to win a tournament. Since then, a lot has changed, and while I haven't reached that goal, it's still my major drive.

The biggest change for me since then was joining and forming Team Silicon Sports. Despite an early hiccup with Rival quitting starcraft, I could not be more happy with how this team is headed. We have picked up Kez, Stoicwilly and Pezz since then, with all of... [Read More]

Hey kiddies, I'll cut to the chase. Im running i7 3.2 ghz processor, I think 16 gig RAM, ATI Radeon 7770, 550 wat power supply, 1 TB HD.

About 6-12 months ago I upped my video card to the ATI 7770 because I would get this error: https://forum.solidworks.com/servlet...84-26176/4.PNG

However this didn't fix the issue.

From reading various forums and my own limited knowledge, I'm lead to believe this is probably because of a power issue? If so, What cheap and good power supplies would fit... [Read More]

I figured i would share this because i think it is bloody awesome.
My wife made this over the course of 8 months off and on. She copied the Skull that is in Joe's Bar from the WoL Campaign (and then later on the ship).

It's pretty huge..... love it!

Hey guys! I make videos on the youtubes and I'm going to start using my website more to have more information alongside the videos, however I suck at webdesigning/coding so I have to use template!

The template will be modified with my own logo/colorscheme etc but that doesnt matter too much at this point. I just need some opinions. Note that all my posts will have a video embedded. Thanks for taking your time to look

Since it's summer and I have started to commit some of my time to casting again, I've really wanted to run a show or whatever interesting event every week for SEA on my stream.

I'm aware that awesome people like System has worked on the SEA Podcast before, and there are shows like Climbing the Ladder and Meta from other regions, so I am really aiming to have something that will be interesting and informative to everyone at every level on a weekly basis.

I haven't made any decisions, even... [Read More]

So its my Birthday today, and I asked my Mom's Friend to bake a cake for me:

P.S: My name is Renzo, Renz is my nickname.

The game starts normally... sees a drone scout... hey where is he going sneaking to that corner. So I scout and sees this.



So deploying emergency measures while expanding and completing the wall asap.
He pops a queen and eventually 6 lings as well. Seeing that it is failing, he decides... time for emergency measures too.. so



OK this guy is serious! I'm so going to go double stargates all in him (mental note)... after I clean up this mess in my base.

I have question that has been bugging me since the beginning of time (1v1 SC2 time that is).

What are good followups to a 6 pool by a zerg in PvZ?

Ok before you say anything, there are a few scenarios :

Case 1
FFE : Small chokes e.g. Neo Planet S (or any map that can be walled off easily to protect natural)
This I consider generally fine because you can easily block it off.

Case 2
FFE : Wide impossible to wall chokes e.g. Akilon Wastes
So if I manage to get a cannon or 2 to... [Read More]

Yes, i've done some soul searching (lol..).


It seems as if Protoss has again gone stale.
vT is extremely stale to me, so boring to play out, so repetitive.
vZ is just retarted, they either steamroll you, or you roflstomp them convincingly.
vP doesn't make sense much, and when it does, it makes me sick.


Here's my WR for top 25 masters NA as last season;
vs - about %40
vs - about %75
vs - about %65


Yes this isn't very descriptive, but I couldn't be bothered getting into detail here.

For the past week i have been on tilt like never before, losing 70% of my games (estimate) and things were looking bad, as the new season opened up i did my placement and demoted to platinum, which was sadly expected. Me in shock i laddered for like 8 games, lost 6 of them and was worried. So i decided to redo my placement (bad mistake) lost to a silver zerg (which btw he seemed better then some diamond zergs i have played but w/e) and then demoted AGAIN to gold league. That was the last straw,... [Read More]
