Edit: Well unfortunately telstra had other plans and decided to make my net so laggy i can stream what so ever, so unforgettably i will not be able to participate in this event but i still highly recommend that you check out some of the other streams and support this wonderful cause.

Another pleasant evening spent with my brother Joshua, another set of boardgames.

First off we played Galaxy Truckers, which we didn't have any fun playing because it was not the sort of game we wanted to play. So far Shut up and Sit Down are 0 for 2 with boardgame recommendations. Hmm...

But we did get to play the Battlestar Galactica boardgame including a few expansion bits which still remains my favourite board game I've ever played. However I'd only played vanilla BSG and not the... [Read More]

My thoughts on Protoss in HotS:

Bear in mind that I am a platinum player and therefore my opinions on balance are to be taken with a grain of salt. In saying this, it is also my opinion. This is approximately where Protoss should be when HotS is released.

Mothership Core removed --> Nexus abilities added with additional shared Nexus energy bar.


The idea is simple enough. Essentially all of the Mothership Core's current abilities require a nearby nexus except that it's a flying unit... [Read More]

Stemming from my other blog I felt like writing a bit of an update on the goals i set in August.
Top 16 GM on sea was actually quite easy in the end, but pointless as was pointed out in the original blog XD, but it was still a nice achievement to have under my belt.

GM on NA isn't going to happen, I get horrendous lag to NA, coupled with shit fps because I play on a mac, so this can be put on hold till the holidays where I'll be grinding out some games from japan.

Top 8 on KR is coming... [Read More]

As you can see this is to do with JaKaTaK's threads on The Levels and The Core. I thought it was an awesome idea and since I am motivated to get my level back up in SC2 I figured I would blog my journey.

Pretty much everything is in the video this week, nothing really to write aside from my issues with the CTRL + SHIFT + 0 binding which for some reason works in everything even the hotkey menus in SC2, but not in game -_- lol.

Well I hope you enjoy my thoughts and... [Read More]

My EB Expo Experience

This will be extremely long since I’m also combining my “Thoughts and progress” blog into this one, so sorry in advance for the length and walls of text!

Ok so EB Expo was my first interstate LAN that I have attended/qualified for. Previous to this I have played in 2 ARENA lans in Adelaide with okish results. My thoughts going into this event was to not worry about my perfomance and simply to try and compete and have a good time. I definitely achieved this goal!

Part 2 -- You can find Part 1 at http://www.sc2sea.com/blogs/showentr...&cutoffdate=30

After losing to Pet I was pretty annoyed at myself -- I didn't play my best and made some very basic mistakes (sitting at 1500 minerals / 0 gas is one of the sadder points). However, I had to move past that, as my next opponent was Nv.Rossi, and he had recently posted some very impressive ZvT results. I didn't want my ZvT winning streak to end here (or anywhere).

The first game was extremely fun: it was... [Read More]

HOKAY lan numero dos happened on Sunday, felt i'd just write up a recap of the event for you non-auckland-based people, so, without further ado.

Outline of games first, lan stuff at the bottom...

Once again me and pet were the favourites, however going into this tournament I felt a bit more nervious than last time. On the sign ups I saw a couple of zergs in master and 1 gm, those who know me are aware of the... [Read More]

Following USADA's (United States Anti-Doping Agency) 1,000 page dossier that details the use of performance enhancing drugs, hormones, blood transfusions, EPO. Lance Armstrong has been labelled a cheat, has been stripped of his 7 Tour Champion title and has his entire life thrown into the spotlight once again.

The Two Faces of Armstrong



He was a cheat, a liar, a bully.

Witness accounts from former team members were all detailed in the report released by USADA. They... [Read More]

Hey guys

HDstarcraft casted one of my HotS ladder games on his YouTube channel

My opponent wasn't the strongest of zerg players, however its a fun game to showcase some of the interesting a powerful new harassment strategies you can play around with with the new units oracle and mothership core.

EB Expo Blog

My EB Expo "Weekend" started a day earlier than everyone -- we (myself and Pamela) picked up Petraeus from Parramatta station at around 7:30 -- it was actually quite weird, my girlfriend spotted him before I did, yet she's never seen him. All she had was my description of "He looks kind of like me, only slightly shorter and more New Zealander". After tailing him... [Read More]

Just a quick blog to wish the 3 SEA players Revenant, RedArchon and Enderr good luck this weekend in what is one of the most difficult tournaments they will ever participate in! They will need to bring their A game and a little luck to get to the WCS Finals!

Hi everyone,

So I know quite a few people here, but I've never really introduced myself at all, so I figured I would do so now... Belated I know, I've been posting here for months, but here's to make up for it.

So, I'm a 17 year old Highschool student, and I've been playing Starcraft 2 since December '11. Anyone who is a low league player, fear not, I was placed straight into bronze after going 2-3 in my placements (1 was a leaver and the other had literally 7 APM). I played mostly with my... [Read More]

Hey guys realised I wrote an EPIC email to Dot the other day so thought I'd share most of it with you guys as it was just telling about some of the time at IeSF in Cheonan, Korea. This aint as purty as my normal blogs, just basic recounts. If you want to read something well-polished this isn't for you!

Written on October 4th 5:18pm from the IeSF Venue at the eSports Culture Fair, Cheonan Province. Relevant photo album: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?s...7020162&type=3

Hey Guys some of you may know me some of you may not, If not im an aussie zerg player from brisbane aiming to be the youngest player (currently 14) to go pro. Im also pretty infamous for my amazing wall's of text and not using paragraphs for half my post's. So this week i decided to make use of the rest of my holidays and aim for masters, Id been masters on NA for around a week but i didn't really think that counted cause masters NA could be plat SEA if you take a look at some of the players....

Another blog with more random thoughts from me. This will be about NaNiWa, hot girls and why they are similar in regards to them both having relative high value. And why they are able to get away with certain behavior otherwise normal people cannot. Warning, its quite a long read!! Its gonna be my last blog for a while.



Value
Like it or not, everyone is subconsciously judged and pegged with a value. I personally dislike this but have come to accept this is just the way things are.... [Read More]
