So a few days ago I posted a blog, lamenting my lack of ability to win even a single game for some time.
How things can turn around in a week!
Well, in this week I haven't had work as the office where I work is being repainted, so my days have been wake up at about 10 or 11, do a workout, and then blast out tons of games of SC2, watch day9, do some theorycrafting, then back into SC2 until dinner, then read some Game of Thrones. Now I'm #2 in my plat division and knocking on the door... [Read More]
Just a quick update on what I'll be doing in the coming months~
After an interview and tryout with MLG, I'll be observing at the upcoming MLG Dallas
I'll most likely be on both streams at some point (red+blue) but I'm pretty sure Adebisi will the main guy for red stream. I hope to do a good job so they can keep sending me to MLGs =w=
I'll probably go to IPL6 as well, and play in the HotS Open Bracket, if not, I'll apply for observing there too. I want to get to at least round 3 or... [Read More]
So, after coming off a pretty devastating loss this evening to ToRSchnitzel (who is well deserving of his victory), I found myself being so frustrated and annoyed at myself and my own play. My ZvP has been, to say the least, awful for several months now; and I've luckily managed to avoid protosses in tournaments for a long time. But tonight I felt really ashamed in my play, and I didn't represent myself as well as I feel I should have.
After a short, angry outburst I logged off SC2,... [Read More]
Ok i thought this had to be pointed out, as i write this blog there is currently only about 100 GM's on SEA and i wouldn't be lying if about 30% of them aren't even active enough to stay as GM. A lot of our pro's (who i won't mention for confidential reasons) have purposely or accidentally dropped out of GM or don't ladder to GM for reasons like...
1. i heard GM's say stuff like you can win like 2-8 points but then lose 20-30 on the ladder which makes spending the bonus pool difficult.
Valentines Day noun
A Pointless and worthless day invented by Hersheys Confectionary Co and Joining forces with Teleflora Florists and Corbans Wine Makers just so they can profit out of Wine, Cholocates and Flowers, while single people suffer at the clutches of the hands of this evil and corrupt capitalist-orientated day that is not even a ******* holiday period.
Valentines Day should be banned and all those celebrating it shot.

So I've been really enjoying playing SC2 again after a big break over exam/holiday time, been steadily improving my mechanics up to what I was at 6 months ago, and possibly even better than that. Quite probably I haven't spent any less time on Starcraft related things, I've just been playing now in stead of watching a stream or competition. So all has been going really really well up until....
...yea.
The funny thing is, I don't feel like I've been playing any worse. Maybe just my... [Read More]
When I first joined TCP I only knew one person(Eros) and he was douche, but not long after joining I met another person from my clan and it was Chase. Chase is like the epitome of the perfect human, he is le pro sc2 player and sick guitar player. After getting to know Chase a bit more and talking with him heaps, I started to realise, CHASE IS GOD. (No homo)
Got my first one today, have been wanting to do it for ages but have spent most of my time since I was 20 pregnant, breastfeeding and/or looking after small children... now they're both at school, huzzah! So I grabbed the opportunity
I love it, I'm posting it everywhere I can, lol! Bonus points for people who know what it is
Circles at the top look a bit squashed, just cos my arms are up, but they're not really-
If they didn't cost money, I'd get more every time I had a day off... [Read More]
Sup guys, had a week break from the S&^$ SundeR Says blog due to moving apartments! But it's back these week, so check out the little excerpt below and have a read! Any feedback or comments you guys have would be awesome.

The #SAVEHOTS activism has come and gone, though analysing it's effectiveness is difficult. The exact outcomes of vigorous conversation through various mediums is nebulous - it's a messed up incarnation of the chicken and egg conundrum. There's no doubt that... [Read More]
A few days ago now, I finally had my corneal cross-linking operation. I was nervous as hell, but luckily I had some time beforehand to go to Hog's Breath Cafe and grab a bite to eat (their steaks are pretty damn good). I ended up sitting in the waiting room for about 3 hours, which was pretty painful considering I was scared of what was to come. When I finally got called, I had to do a series of eye tests that all went reasonably smoothly. Afterwards, I had anaesthetic drops put into my eyes... [Read More]
Playing Starcraft 2 at times can get very annoying and frustrating and can put you on tilt very easily, especially if laddering constantly and you lose 4-5 in a row. Since I started playing in the competitive scene for SEA last year, I have been in a few tournaments and got angry at myself at a loss in the first second game, which puts me on tilt very easily.
As most of you guys know, losing isn't fun, but when you get on tilt at a tournament like WCS or... [Read More]

So I just wanted to whip up a quick blog to apologise to IXL for my reactions to a situation that lead me to believe three members of IXL were trolling and abusing me. My rushed reaction after a stressful day resulted in a few negative things being said by a few people and I for one and sorry for my part in it. I've since realised that these people were not actually members of IXL at all (this misunderstanding came as IXL members were involved in conversation, but not abusively, and the most... [Read More]
Introduction: I am a Grandmasters zerg player that wants to share my common ZvT build with you all! The build gets a late third but can then play greedily and tech quickly behind infestors. All-in-all I find this build is quite strong and I find that I can get around 80% winrate vs Terran going Bio-Tank. Opener:
9 Overlord *Scout with the 10th Drone
15 Hatch *15 pool if you see low SCV count and no CC
So first of all, my apologies for not posting anything at all (as well as basically being MIA as far as admin duties for SEACL go) last weekend about Fantasy - there was this storm in Brisbane that has caused all kinds of havoc on the power, following by a ton of extra work I happened to have on during last week (normally, I'm a bludging student with tons of free time)
Secondly, I want to give a huge thanks to UHF for all the awesome work he's been doing sharing the fantasy stuff... [Read More]
It has been a VERY long time since I've written a blog here and (fortunately for me) a lot has happened. As some of you know, I declared a weight loss goal in early 2012. I promised myself that I would run/hop/skip until I lost a lot of 'weight'. Well, I want you guys to know that in my first attempt in around February, I was unsuccessful. In fact, after weeks of healthy eating, I relapsed and it felt like I put on more weight.
Truth is, I did. From around April-June-ish I... [Read More]
Lately I've been having many lag issues due to my router but I got a new job recently so it has inspired me to play more as now I can look forward to not lagging soon, I recently started playing sc2 about 5 months ago and started as a Plat/Diamond Random player after 1 week and a coaching session from Bard and Flamga I joined mGG in hopes to improve a bit more and chose protoss as my race and Zeratul as my name, Since then I had disliked ladder quite a lot and preferred practice so I sat at the...

When Jared "PiG" Krensel returned from Korea last year I forced him to book a holiday with me to make up on some time together. The destination of choice was Surfer's Paradise on the Gold Coast, my favourite holiday location. Little did we know that we would be spending the entire time together, most of it cooped up indoors watching movies instead of relaxing by the beach. The ex cyclone that made its way through SE QLD left a trail of destruction and a bucketload of rain.
About a week ago my PC started having this issue where it would instantly restart itself suddenly and without any warning, no BSOD, no windows just snap restart. I didn't know what was causing this but I've since changed the Power Supply Unit, added some more RAM, upgraded the GFX card and switched from a 32 bit OS to a 64 bit OS. The problems have been getting worse, occuring approximately once of every hour or two and it is a tremendous bother.
Originally it would only do this if... [Read More]
For the last year myself and my wonderful flatmates (Tom and Ces) have been living in a shitty apartment by the train tracks which was basically our only option of a house at the time.
We have finally found an amazing house which we move into on the 15th of February, but until then we are stuck with the joys of open homes, landlords, paperwork yadda yadda yadda.
This afternoon was the first of the open homes planned by the estate... [Read More]
