SC2SEA.com - Starcraft 2 SEA eSports Community Site

Hello friends,
My name is Tim "Cosmic" Roots and I am from TA clan. :>
I play zerg

I don't often visit here, let alone post, but you guys are pretty cool and doing a great job to grow SC2 scene in SEA. I enjoy playing this game so much and enjoy hanging out with the people that play as well, that I thought I should give something back or something.

Some of you might have heard my name floating around the forums with the recent Retro Rumble, or hit me in a tournament, met me at LAN etc,... [Read More]

I feel like writing a blog cause all of this has made me feel super sad.

When Winter admitted to maphacking, I was the first to forgive him and he's proven that he really was sorry. We've had fun chats in Skype and I've been happy to accept him as a teammate and friend.

Now things have gotten even more serious, with GRiM, Antelope and Psych's smurfing incident and the false hope of a sposorship, everything's started going downhill faster than a rollercoaster. However, I really want to fogive... [Read More]

Well for those of you that didn't know, over the past 3 weeks or so a few other fantastic players and myself had been getting ready to announce a team. Unfortunately, given the turn of events of today it would appear that this will not be going ahead.

As luck would have it this is happening at a time that I'm feeling abit down and out, and to a certain extent this was like a nail on the coffin. I'm in a bit of a slump at the moment, not improving as fast as I should be given how much time I... [Read More]

idc what anyone thinks of me

idc what anyone thinks of me!!!!!

To celebrate not only Targa, but Australia coming 3rd in Dreamhack, I decided to create an image with my high master but I'd be grandmaster if I played more photoshop skills.



Good on ya' Targa

So currently i'm thinking of going to korea for a bit longer, as i am really progressing my korean studies and i want to learn a lot more and the best way to do so is to go over there.

I want to go back soon, but i am going to Dallas next week for work, so i will probably make the trip Feb/March Next year.
I want to stay for at least 2-3 weeks.

For now, im going back to korea server since im living at home with good internet again and im done with hots for now until they patch it some... [Read More]

Sorry for the corny name but I felt that it was fitting since it has been nearly to the day, one year since I have owned Starcraft. Although I haven't come too far, I still thought that it would be good to briefly look back at my life on SC.

I started off purchasing Starcraft from my local EB Games last year. At the same time one of my other friends also got it and although it was delayed (by a month) I had some mates over for my birthday. Toastyzeus and Boo watched as me and my friend... [Read More]

Hi , so i heard that terran always whine about zerg op in the past, guess what , for the last 1 month, my winrate against terran is 10% or maybe 0% , no joke , all the ladder games i played i lost , idk why , in the past i hate to play against protoss , now i like to play against protoss and not against terran, wtf?! idk whats wrong with me but does anybody have this kind of moment before ?

So today on NA ladder i played this guy who threatened me to kill himself if I didn't give him the win and told me a story of how miserable his life is, I was genuinely shocked for a sec and thought I would share it and see what everyone thinks.

Its time for another edition of “Flamga is bored at work and has heaps of stuff on his mind so why don’t I have a whinge to the great people of sc2sea” !!!!

Stream Prep >.<
You might not know but preparation for a stream takes a LOOONNNGGGGG time!!! I have recently determined how long due to starting my weekly again, which with how things are going my end might be a bi-weekly event :P (twice a week )
Also trying to find content to put on the show is quite hard, there are HEAPS of replays... [Read More]

Hi everyone.

I have gone inactive recently, as I started studying full time in cookery at TAFE. I was trying to mix SC2 practice into my afternoons, but I really don't have the time to keep improving, I'd just be trying to sustain a similar skill level to what I already have. I honestly can't play SC2 much for fun anymore, since I was taking it so seriously for a fair while, and to have to see my skill decline when trying to still dedicate myself to the game would be quite sad. Although, I... [Read More]

Now im nocturnal, i work overnights, so after Dota2 (and all my mates going to sleep) i set about looking for a HotS stream to watch.




Now that is clearly NOT heart of the swarm being shown there by our very own nirvana- but it WAS intriguing- as i know many of you have found out.





let me introduce you all to High School Dreams : Best Friends Forever, a game so legendary that many believed it to be cancelled years ago. until it was uncovered late Last Night.

i wanted to... [Read More]

Have always been a huge fan of Smash Bros. Been so damn excited about this since the day it was announced. And here we are.

I thought it's quite lol-worthy xD

A story about a typical Starcraft player.


I'm not 100% sure about my first encounter with Starcraft.

It could have been the time when I was 6 years old (1999 I think), living in Hiroshima, Japan with my mom. She went on a trip to Tokyo with her university colleagues to do Taiko (Japanese drums) performances, so I was staying over at my family friend's place (also a friend from the same school) for couple of days. They were also Koreans living in Japan. I vaguely remember that one of... [Read More]

Hear me out okay? Yes? Thanks

It has been a year and two months since I’ve joined the community. And it has been one heck of a ride. Within that time span, I’ve met so many new friends (although they are online AND the parents don’t quite approve of our habits ie. gaming :/) as well as finding an extended family. Within this time, I have also received a lot of advice, both for Starcraft II and for real life. I’ve also been part of the greatest events of my entire time gaming.

A little... [Read More]

Alright im bored in Hong Kong airport so thought I might as well write a blog. Apologies for any bad grammar, im on my phone.
Today was a pretty shit morning. Woke up at 7am to go to an algebra exam at school TT. Then I had to go straight to Auckland airport to wait for 3 hours -_-
Anyway got on the plane fine and talked to this old Taiwanese woman (must be sens mum) for a while. The plane had a SHIT movie selection and the seats were uncomfortable. 11 hours later I emerge. Barely alive. So... [Read More]

BSG players normally ask 'how do i improve?' and a common piece of advice given is 'improve your macro first, don't worry too much about strategy, etc'.

I just played a (horrible) game on ladder (TvT) which illustrates just this point I think.

I basically do everything wrong this game - opened with proxy 2 rax which got scouted and failed, A moved into a tank line (multiple times) with MMM, reacted slow to drops, got... [Read More]

Hey Guys

Recently Ive been thinking I need to find something more productive to do with my free time, last night I came up with an idea!

Im looking at doing a indepth Case Study / Journal article on the state / growth of Australian Esports (SCII focused), The paper will be targeted towards marketing professionals, my aim is to educate as many Marketing Professionals and Students first of all the existence of esports and the value in investing in esports.

In order to do this Im going... [Read More]

Hey guys this isn't starcraft related so meh :P

Few weeks ago I started teaching the violin to kids - students. It has been OK... depending on the student LOL
I tutored a little girl for the very first time. And I'm not going to lie.. I was so scared of her!! The nerves got to me and this young innocent girl transformed into my worst nightmare, making me nervous and forget simple stuff while I was teaching her. Maybe it's because I have a lack in teaching.. Maybe it's my lack of confidence?... [Read More]

Hey guys^^

First of all I would like to say this community has taught me a lot about myself and what I am capable of. My parents have doubted every single nerdy passion I have ever had and to this day disregard gaming and stereotype me and my friends to no end even though we are not fat nerds living in a basement. In fact when I bought up my uni courses and what I wanted to be when I was older they scoffed and said that people in competitive gamings kids die because their parents are... [Read More]
