There seems to be too much BM and angst, anger etc. flying around nowadays, so I thought I'll blog on something happy. Friends. Such as friends I've met in 2012 on SCII. Or perhaps I've known them from earlier in 2011, but regardless I'll try list all the people who I call a friend...to a varying degree. Needless to say each and everyone of you have made an impact with me, where I am more than happy to call you friends, even if we don't speak much, or I don't have you on real-id/skype/whatever....

After reading this thread on TL about teamless pros, lets play a quick game.
*Making this up as I go along but whatever*
You are the manager of a team, and you must pick 1 player, from each race, from each region (lets forget China for now, sorry F91).
Explain your picks, and then show the top 2 players from your picks that you would expect to get some results within the next 6 months. This DOES take into account that there are going to HoTS tournies starting up too, so keep that in... [Read More]
Most of you wouldn't know me, so introductions come first. My name is Joseff, but people call me Seffy, and I'm currently a Gold league Protoss player for mGG in Starcraft 2 on both SEA and NA servers. In game, and on SC2SEA people would know me as mGGxJieun (or Jieun for short). And yes, my in game name came from my K-Pop idol's name:
Song Jieun is just amazing.
Recently I made a thread regarding ladder anxiety:
At the request of some unnamedmembers of the community I will be detailing my journey here at SC2SEA. I wouldn't expect a completely comedic detailing of "this is your life" but thanks to my sarcastic humour, cynicism and clever use of the English language I do hope that you will find my exemplary blog an enjoyable read (I've said this before and I'll say it again... modesty was always one of my strong points ).
1. Let there be cake!
Like most people who lurk a... [Read More]
I'd just like to give an appreciation blog to Champi for the many laughs he gave us all, the PvP work he did with me so I could better understand the matchup for casting and for the many long nights out with him in 2012.
With analytical skills such as this, Champi is without a doubt the Protoss to watch in 2013 always a step ahead of the game.
Apologies go out too all those affected by this blog, however no reason wil be provided as to the reason behind it's making. I would appreciate it if a moderator could delete this asap.
I don't want this to be a terribly long account but with the recent sc2sea awards 2012 - I feel I have a few things to explain about my appearances and disappearances amongst the sc2 community and the casting scene. Another catalyst, I guess, is a recent decision of mine to return to freelance casting and retire from Team Immunity. There were a few reasons for this, personally I felt as though I had become less approachable for co-casting roles as I would be expected to cast only for... [Read More]
Hey guys, me n my team have opened a store selling gaming items as well as SC T-Shirts. Would appreciate it if you guys would drop by and take a look as well as like the FB page itself. If you guys have any enquiries, you can private msg me or post a reply on this blog. Thank you! The link to our FB page can be found below.
So since I started progaming fulltime I've gained ~8kg. This is just a guess as I can't even remember how much i weighed before, but basically, I've put on a bunch of weight.
I'm sure this is a situation many of us who choose gaming as our recreation face on a daily basis. Especially those of us whom have a penchant to eat entire jars of nutella, with a spoon, in a single marathon session of Firefly.
So I'm kind of dreading the day I go to a LAN and instead of people saying "oh... [Read More]
I'd like to take some time to tell you a bit about myself and my plans for the future.
2012
I made an account here to promote CanCraft, a LAN in Canberra (2nd CanCraft coming 24/2/2013!) and decided to get more involved with the community. At the time, I was a low Diamond player, and after (unsurprisingly) bad results at CanCraft I was like "Man, I really suck and need to get better." I looked for a clan with the hopes of having consistent practice partners (my only real practice partner at... [Read More]
I honestly don't think that anyone is going to dethrone mOOnGLaDe in 2013 but I do believe that the gap between Glade and the other top 10 is going to get minute and we may see Glade start to struggle with the top 10 SEA players rather than just the top 3.
2. Petraeus
Petraeus is coming motherfuckers. Petraeus is working extremely hard to get good, I think his mindset (whilst it has flaws because he's a negative baby) is... [Read More]
So, everyone else was doing tier lists - I just want to fit in and be cool. After all, if there's one thing I yearn for in life, it's the acceptance and love of everyone else. So, as such, I felt that I'd contribute my own thoughts to a tier list!
Tier 1) Zerg.
OP as hell, the race is too damn godlike I say! If you ever get to late-game, you can't be beat! Geeze..
Tier 2) Protoss.
These guys are as strong as zerg, but apparently have... [Read More]
Before I get started I'd like to inform you that the following is a recollection of my time in SC2SEA. I created my account here on a Friday, 5th-Oct-2012, but have never been active until 3 weeks ago.
Prologue and Backstory
The Alienware Pro-Amateur tournament was coming up and OSLord linked us to SC2SEA to check out the details. I always disliked forums, usually because how many forums are really untidy and just plain ugly. I loaded up SC2SEA... [Read More]
I'm currently located in the arse end of New South Wales with barely much to do at all except listen to nieces/nephew cry an awful lot and get drained dry by mosquitoes so here's a simplified power ranking for us all to not argue over at all. If you do debate my clearly irrefutable findings then I will get Tgun to ban you. He'll do it.
NOT SHIT TIER
Glade. There's nothing to discuss here is there? Glade won some things he played in and unlike the rest of us useless bastards can actually... [Read More]
I wanted to inspire my mates to play sc2 again and refind what made the game fun to them, and ranted on for a bit with them in skype. Here is the chatlog of it. If you don't want to play sc2 just give this a read, maybe it rings true with you maybe it doesn't but like shortizz suggests I'm going to share it with you. Sorry for formatting and perhaps repetition but here you go. EDIT: I am Ryan, Stallion is Thomas, Shortizz is Shortizz. Also note that in no way is this meant to make stallion a... [Read More]
So I already got a HotS invite and just pre-ordered HotS and got another one.. So I'm going to add it on to a little competition already running for Frenetic Array.. but It'll be just for my SC2SEA friends and easier to enter.
Simply post in this blog the details or name of an account used to Like Frenetic Array on Facebook and like This post OR Follow @FreneticArray and Retweet This tweet.
Random musing: Taylor Swift now looks like Avril Lavigne. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, just a thing.
Here's some stuff!
1. WiiU
And we're back.
I picked up a WiiU as a Christmas present for myself and have been playing it pretty much ever since. Call me a Nintendo fanboy (And in doing so you'd be correct), but this thing is seriously sweet. New Super Mario Bros U is the best 2D Mario game since the SNES days. I've always been pretty eh towards... [Read More]
Hey Sedz, I only just woke up now to see many left over messages on skype and a closed blog about me. I didn't have a chance to reply to it till now and since the blogs closed, I'm making a blog about it
First of all I'd like to congratulate you for ur awesome detective work.
SO this is what happened, one day I wake up and logged onto sea ladder noticing I went from being rank 1 by 200 points to being rank 2 I was surprised what happened. I noticed ASG ******* chobo went to rank 1 so i... [Read More]
As part of being involved with MapControlCO we opt to create a video log each week to give a personal touch so people aren't as afraid to communicate with us during casts.
Rifkin, the owner, and I decided it would be in high spirit to create a competition. The first person to not do a video log one week when the other person does will lose and the winner will choose a punishment.
I present to you this video detailing the situation and the result.
So zealo pointed something out to me in our skype chat, something very suspicious and that definitely needs to be cleared up. I won't write too much, here are the pictures.
I looked at image one and thought yeah that is pretty weird, but thought, it's entirely possible someone else was playing on Mafia's account and they happened to match each other on ladder.
The RL2450H took me no longer than 10 minutes to put together. The bottom of the unit is split into two pieces: a stand and a base. These two connect with an audible click, then all you need to do is lock the panel onto the base, and when you hear another click you're good to go. Full marks for ease of setup. Off to a great start.
Furthermore, it presents a remarkably unique design with its matte black bezel and matte screen finish. It has a nice vibrant red trim along the base and the LED... [Read More]
I'm trying to have a quick look around at what people are doing in HOTS at the moment - but seemingly most of the replay sites haven't fully adapted to HOTS reps yet - generally you'll see "player vs player" without any proper details of the map and whatnot (for example this one on drop.sc http://drop.sc/287636)
But lately I'm not really seeing many HOTS reps - anyone have any particular site to have a look at?
I'm not really too phased about skill level either - this isn't really for... [Read More]
A very Merry Christmas to you all, and if you don't celebrate then I wish you a wonderful day ahead!
Lets take a moment off the monitor and spend a little time with our loved ones, especially those that support our eSports passion. There's never a perfect moment to say "I love you", "Thank you", or "I appreciate you". Lets make that moment today.
