Hi sc2sea! I'm finally back after not really playing for a couple of months and going to be getting back into some 1v1's . Looking forward to seeing everyone from TCP and mGG again And playing some HotS when it comes out.hF gL!

Sorry NirvAnA for posting in wrong section listed as blog now.

In order to achieve my goal of getting masters as soon as possible (by the end of the year if I can) I have decided to start streaming. I started streaming on the 28th of August and have since streamed a total of 12 sessions.

My stream is: TheGentlemanSC2
All streamed replays are here.

At the start of 2012 Season 4 I versed a masters (ex-GM) player, won, and subsequently got demoted to gold (replay here). So now it's Gold to Masters time... I can do it!!

WALL OF TEXT INCOMING, AND NO THERE ARE NOT ANY PICTURES!

With everyone blogging I thought I might join in to. Not only that but with the lack of time to sit in the chat box I feel like I am losing touch with all my SEA friends, so never fear I will get all my thoughts out for the week for a discussion that we could have had in the chat box but couldn’t!

Casting Is Awesome Fun!!!
So I read Infeza’s blog about observing and agree 100% with this, and thought to myself “why don’t casters... [Read More]

So I figured I'd start making a blog every season outlining my goals, and where I would like to be by the end of the season. I feel as if goals are an extremely powerful tool for motivation, especially when written down. This is how I've progressed through leagues from season to season, I started bronze, and I'd set goals for myself at the start of every day/week/month, and I'd attempt to achieve these goals in a set time frame, whether it be making more workers, playing 40 games in a day, or...

Thoughts and Progress! 12/9/2012

Alright almost a month has passed since my last blog with a lot happening! Firstly the new season as started and with it new goals. Previously my goals were to get to Korean Masters and finish high in SEA GM. I have achieved both in the previous season so its time for some new ones! In the short term I’m going to go for NA GM, I am going to put all my attention into achieving this goal. However its going to be tough, with around 400ms to the NA server I... [Read More]

Hey, I'm not really sure if I'm doing this whole blog thing correctly but I figured I might as well give it a shot :P

I am a level and player, im main-ing Terran right now.

I have been around in this community since.. well, probably beta. I started getting much more involved in the community when I joined the clan Time of Rising, heck I even played in a few BSGs myself. I'm not heavily into the PD scene, but I intend to start playing in more competitions once I start feeling solidly at... [Read More]

For all of those who care just thought I should post it. (Sorry for the spammage to everyone)

In the words of Toastyzeus, "Next time I get promoted, I'm posting it everywhere. In-game chats, Sc2sea, Facebook. I don't even give a ****"
Decided to take a leaf out of his book.

How did everybody else go with their placements?

After a while i decided that i'm going to live back home with my Parents for the time being. Some of you already know, this but decided to write a quick blog.

The time in my apartment was great, i needed to get out on my own and i loved it, was a great experience and was definitely beneficial in every way. Motivated me to do things a bit more for my self, now i feel its time to try something else.

One thing i am looking forward to is seeing my Cat - Armageddon. i miss him.
and the... [Read More]

First off I'd like to say that it was an absolute honour and pleasure doing the observing for HD, Painuser and Tastosis while they were down in Australia (And super grateful to get a shoutout on the GSL), i definitely learnt a lot and had a great time and i loved being able to interact with them through the game and their cast. My goal for the event (WCS Australia/Oceania if you missed it You can watch the VODs at www.twitch.tv/aclprosc2) Was to give not only the casters every single piece of... [Read More]

I kid.

EDIT:

Okay, here's the real blog.

I am in need of help with post-editing in photography.

I never liked the idea of messing around with photos because I thought it would ruin the whole concept of "capture the moment", but I surfed around the net to look at edited photos and I thought I want to give it a try.

I've been playing around with Photoshop for few years for school so I know the basics, but I was wondering if... [Read More]

Hey everybody. With the amount of support on my last blog(mostly from the the ToR guys but still) I have been really motivated to keep a blog reasonably up to date, without it becoming a diary.

Just a little recap of what happened with The Pandarine Cup. That was a really great event. So with my story. I didn't have my computer or internet connection, but I also wanted to loose my competition virginity, so I organized to bring my keyboard and mouse to a LAN Gaming & Internet Cafe. I rocked up... [Read More]

This is a thankyou and hopefully amusing blog about an awesome smurf I had the pleasure to come across on SEA ladder last night. I won't name him as obviously anonymity is important to smurfs! The really cool bit is at the end - the intro / first game is how we got there.

Brief background about me - Gold level Terran, been playing 3 months and trialling with ToR (which is awesome). Last played competitive RTS about 16 years ago which was C&C1 but gave up as computer was too heavy to carry... [Read More]

Although I try to practice SC2 as much as possible, I was feeling pretty nostalgic the past 2-3 weeks. As a result I cranked open a couple of old games to re-live my childhood. Plus, it's a great stress reliever when you really feel like QQing about the state of Terran and how good protoss/zerg are, and u can cool off and keep a positive mindset.

AOE2. Nothing can be said except wow after playing SC2, I'm so much better that this game rofl (more than 1 barracks pls). Absolutely love AOE2,... [Read More]

On the 8th September I, and 3 other Exile 5 members, attended the ARENA LAN in Adelaide. Bard, NotoriouS, Phoenix and I headed in to represent the Exile5 name for the day. Bard and NotoriouS were ready to compete for the day, while Phoenix and I were behind them to cheer them on. This was the 6th Starcraft 2 event held by the internet cafe, and it was my first, so I went in very excited. The result was as some people expected, though before the event a lot of name were being thrown around as... [Read More]

It's time for a change!

I have always used Eddie, or some similar variant for games, as that's what everyone calls me, and in the past I'd only play games with real life mates (esports is still pretty new to me), but Eddie is too common online

I've never really liked FaDeEdOne. I made it quickly after joining clan FaDe. I wanted to rep the clan in the title, while still forming a name in itself, thus i read it as faded one (with an Ed thrown in there to represent my name/gaming origins).... [Read More]

Part of what I've been doing over the past few days is helping Liquipedia get together all of the information from the HotS Beta that it needs to update the new unit pages, because I don't actually have access to the beta this is mostly just me going through the game files with a text editor. Because no one really expects that you'll view them this way you sometimes catch glimpses of commented out behavior or internal names that are funny or informative.

So without further ado here's my list... [Read More]

I've always been a nervous person in high pressure situations, in some cases I've beaten this nervousness, in some, I can't seen to shake it off.

I played in a clanwar tonight where I played extremely poorly, due to nervousness, where my hands just slow down because I'm shaking, and I forget really important things. In these tournament situations, this is happening in about 50% of the games I play, and sometimes it happens on ladder. When I play in a tournament situation without worries, I... [Read More]

If you're not familiar with Man vs Food maybe you should take the time to watch an episode or two, TLDR, a guy goes around the USA Doing crazy food challenges.

There isn't many around here and last year about this time, Misty's Diner took up the oppourtunity to do a challenge, you can watch the video Here..



Now a new challenge, Burritozilla is on the loose, and USAFoods Crew is ready to put it back in its spot.

on the 16th September, we will go to High Tech Burrito and... [Read More]

Or not. In two weeks time, I ship off to medschool. Did I screw myself over? Reading things from the searches I did via Google, maybe. But hell, I'd rather do this than anything!

(Okay, fine. Maybe I'd like to play SCII and BF3 all day, every day as a profession but seriously, its not do-able, specially for my parents.)

So, the next two weeks may be the last ever time people will hear from me for a long time (and I mean looooooooooooooong time or not ) Wait, getting sidetracked. Right,... [Read More]

So after a heart wrenching week of waiting I finally got my clear keycaps from http://www.keycapsdirect.com (Signature Plastics)

I was kind of worried at first since it was a make or break situation from a random Google search since there wasn’t much information about the site (I am a lurker in Geek Hack forums and found nothing). There were other sites such as WASD keyboards http://www.wasdkeyboards.com on occations the geek hack store http://geekhackstore.com/info.html and ebay. However I... [Read More]

I've been stuck in a rut for a while. I'm writing this because I really need to get this off my chest.

It's been a terrible 9 months for me to be honest. I've been trying to search for a job. But I don't think I have been trying hard enough, maybe it's the on-set of depression, maybe it isn't, but I've definitely been feeling a lot of pressure lately.

I think it's a good thing that I'm recognizing the problem in my life.

That is the lack of motivation.

This is really killing me, I... [Read More]

Gratz to Winter for reaching Rank 1 GM! Making this brag blog cause he wont haha!
