1am, 4 hours sleep the night before, mocca and a mother energy drink still brain dead in games vs Luway losing to 2 4 gates the first game being the standard 1 probe 1 gas 4 gate too so was just horrible no reaction play from me, second game 2 gas 4 in gas trick into 4 gate and just got into a weird base trade scenario with me picking off 2 stalkers so pushing the advantage in her base as she ran 4 stalkers into mine. So lost 0-2 was very dissappointed.
losers match vs Xigua at 2am, in short... [Read More]
So jazbas said something in the frustration thread which got me to realise something. In this small of a community being excommunicated is somewhat easy to achieve - eg. be a loudmouth like Jacko. I don't want to apologise for past 'mistakes', but I do want to apologise about my bm yesterday. I was just bitter because I realised that I am probably going to go nowhere in this game and as such get angry over how much I put into it, only to be disappointed at the end rather than attaining that...

It's pretty awesome what we are seeing currently in Australian eSports (SC2). So many players jetting all over the globe for numerous competitions all of a sudden!
Things like MLG, IeSF, TGS, BWC, IEM all having Aussie and New Zealand involvement is awesome, and one of those participants is our very own Jared "TtPiG" Krensel.
Often known for his good looks, laid back personality and baller play style, TtPiG likes long walks on the beach with his girlfriend, being... [Read More]

Hello there everybody! It has been quite some time since my lost blog (I believe post WCS Oceania come down) and much has happened since then!
I went to around Europe for 5 weeks and whilst I had an incredible time and did a lot of cool shit, I felt quite underwhelmed. For the first week or so I couldn't quite put my finger on what the problem was. I was getting drunk, meeting people, hanging out with friends, seeing beautiful sights and nearly as beautiful women, alas, something was still... [Read More]
So.. a certain someone linked me to pinnacle e-sports betting, and instead of betting (dear god it's tempting..) I figured I'd just share all of my picks for the first round with you guys. Bet with your mind, not with your heart.

After 6 long weeks without a computer, filled with copious amounts of procrastination and guilt about not studying I have finally reconnected everything back up and even gotten a laptop! I will be going back to writing roster view and hopefully even more content for the site as well as getting cR back in to gear updating the site etc!
I would like to say that this years exams for year 12 seemed easy but quite long, did anyone else feel the same? I did specialist, methods,... [Read More]
In the past I had an attitude that lower level players where lower level players simply because they were lazy and couldn't be bothered putting in the time needed to get better at the game. Whenever a lower level player asked for help i'd generally help them, give them a few tips or whatever but my mindset would be something along the lines of "meh, its only really going to help them if they actually click find match all day."
BUT THEN SOEMTHING HAPPENED. I decided to help a... [Read More]
IEM SG Singapore Qualifiers was an awesome experience and achievement for me personally.
Just want to write a recap about the games i had there.
Ro16 - Vs Antelope(T)
G1 - Ohana. He tried some weird 3 barracks mass marine scv allin. I was worried about proxy 2 rax and open 3 gate and saw the scvs coming so held it off easily with stalker kiting.
G2 - Daybreak. he went 1 rax FE with 3 bunkers while i opened 1 gate expo into 3 gate pressure, my 3 gate pressure didnt do anything... [Read More]
Ok Summer holidays have begun, I mean..really it's winter..but its still summer holidays.
So what am I getting up to?
1- Starcraft, I'm getting decent ping to na atm, and I have yet to try out kr, but I expect good things, Korea being fairly close to Japan, should be gooood.
ZvP - Trying out a bunch of things, quite happy with this MU atm, my build is really refined, just trying to work out a few things regarding my muta -> ultra bane style, such as whether or not to go double evo.
Few quick updates about the upcoming Barcraft this Weekend (Sat 17th and Sun 18th)
If you've been to a recent barcraft in Melbourne hosted by Silicon Sports you would have noticed an opportunity to purchase special unique Melbourne Barcraft Only Drinks, as shown in the picture below.
This weekend we will still have the current drinks for sale as well as some new snacks for you purchase and to munch on as you cheer our home grown heroes MaFia and
I'm coming home!! ooh yeah! I'm so damn excited to get back to a land where fruit and vegetables are abundant as well as my awesome ladeh waits, she so awesome I think the worst thing about Korea is she can't magically teleport here and so we had to talk over skype to stay in touch, which sucks donkey phallus.
In other news, it's bloody hard to track down all your clothes when you leave a Korean team as everyone tends to wear each others clothes. Artosis assured me it was the same with... [Read More]
This self proclaimed god of PvP is indeed good at PvP as he 2-0'd me recently in practice. But I'd like to call him out to a grudge match BO7. I'm doing this partially to promote competition, especially our weak PvP in SEA, and also because I want to defeat the God of PvP to attain the title for myself!
BRING IT!
Scheduled for 20:00pm AEST Tuesday 20/11/12
Playing for the title of God of PvP(in sea).
It is pretty late and I am very sleepy so I'll try to make this as brief as possible.
Grubby Interview
I was watching this interview of Grubby at MLG earlier today(above). Grubby talked (starting about 7:10)about how our brains all have the capacity to improve rapidly but only do so based on "the competition out there". Combined with the fact that I felt pretty average during MLG Dallas, and one of our best players in Pig exposing exactly how bad we are on his blog the... [Read More]
"Swan song" is a metaphorical phrase for a final gesture, effort, or performance given just before death or retirement. The phrase refers to an ancient belief that the Mute Swan (Cygnus olor) is completely silent during its lifetime until the moment just before death, when it sings one beautiful song. The belief, now known to be incorrect, had become proverbial in Ancient Greece by the 3rd century BC, and was reiterated many times in later Western poetry and art.
The Core
Race changing to Protoss to test things out with the grid. Amazingly the transition between races was quite easy as most of the keys line up anyway, this is using the Terran set for people with big hands >.< lol. Camera hotkeys still going well no issues there.
The Staircase (formerly known as 'The Levels')
Been interesting and weird with this method of learning. I am finding that my macro is improving better if I... [Read More]
