Anyone watched this show? I saw it rated as 7.7 on imdb which is incredibly high for a movie in the "horror" genre and so although i normally dislike such shows in that genre I decided to gave it a go... and ended up pleasantly surprised!

Some who watch it might think of it as nothing more than a generic horror show and movies of that nature normally require incredible suspension of disbelief / logic to watch i.e always falling down at the worse moment and being incapable of... [Read More]

Hi everyone, I currently help run ETL, or rather ETL's SEA division of SC2. It was formed in May or so, and I took a pretty big risk by joining it as only it's 3rd member (although this was fate. I applied for ipr but Arrival was late in getting back to my email. He eventually accepted me...a couple of days after I joined ETL.)

However, I went and recruited a few people, including 3 GMs. One of the GMs we recruited was FeartheSky (not to be confused with the ETLFearTsky currently in SEA GM,... [Read More]

Hello everyone!

This is my first official post on sc2sea and I would like to introduce myself to all of you.

I'm a zerg player currently representing Team Exile 5. I'm a full time uni student studying advanced science at the university of Sydney, hence I am really able to play sc2 on the weekends. With the little time I have, I try to play as many games as I can to maximize any improvement if possible. Overall, I am a very macro oriented and reactive player. This is the main reason I hate and... [Read More]

From the lonely bronze player to the highest of GM's every Starcraft 2 player wants to improve. The beauty of Starcraft is you can never win Starcraft (unless your Flash), and it is because of this reason that anyone who plays this game regularly wants to improve and become better. And with this in mind I'll tell you how i went from rank 48 bronze to high diamond facing masters/GM's in around 5 months, with one simple word Motivation.

I think anyone who's ever been to a Starcraft forum has... [Read More]

After 4 years in Korea I am heading back to Australia - mainly thanks to the ineptitude of whoever the AFP outsourced criminal checks to
Couldn't get documents I needed in a decent time frame so no visa thus no job
Time to head back to Aus and try to find a job there (which from the sounds of it will be even harder) and do the whole long distance thing with my gf while she finishes final year of Vet studies.
I got mixed feelings cause i'm not a fan of many things in Korea but of course... [Read More]

Cross post from my blog over on duckvillelol.com please take a look to see some of my other random ramblings!

Writing this on a day that is quite a sad one for the Starcraft community; sadly the much loved SC:BW Progamer from KT Rolster, Woo "Violet" Jung Ho passed away after a battle with leukaemia. I had the pleasure of seeing Violet play in Proleague during his days of power (particularly during 09/10 when he picked up some great wins); certainly a Protoss to behold, and a player that...

Finaly got out of my shell,

I just realized I never shared this here, so here it is

Context: I was replying to a forum post about improvement and promotion. I ended up writing a wall of text. Thought it might help others going through same journey~

Here’s my 2cents for chasing a promotion & improving up to Diamond:

Pick one Build Order for all matchups:
Pick a safe standard opening for your race and do it across your match-ups. The reason for picking only ONE build order, is so that you can spend the rest of... [Read More]

Hihi! Decided to start trying to blog after being inspired by my friend x5Bard's improvements and progress blog. Also, my favourite Chemistry teacher said that putting goals down on paper makes them real and more tangible, which is why he got us to all write 'I will get an A in Chemistry' at the start of the year. I'm hoping by putting my goals down here that they'll be more real and I'll be more focused when it comes to playing Starcraft 2!

At the moment my primary goal is to only play... [Read More]

We played two matches on NA.
Afterwards, I watched the VOD, and it turned out to be pretty funny.

2 hours and 5minutes is around when it starts. (with a bit of pre-talk)

Schnitzel wishes mutas didn't exist, so Schnitzel could actually win a pvz

Precursor - I'm writting this in my normal style, not editing overly - my genuine chatting typing style. Many full stops will ensue.

So.. I've given it alot of thought.. and Many of you may have seen my grinding out Zerg on NA ladder or in a few customs. And quite frankly - I think my Zerg is stronger than my Protoss (what I thought was my main)

I'll still enjoy the forces of Auir. And maybe after HotS I'll be able to make a better judgement on if I wanna be full time or :S

At this... [Read More]

Hi everyone!

This will be the first installment of many as I track my progress for the next few months. As most of you will know I have recently joined Exile 5 with the rest of Team Mastermind in order to form their sc2 division. This is actually a great bonus for me as I’ve been working on trying to make a sponsored team for quite some time now! While I am still very excited about now being able to go to events such as ACL, I am also worried about how I am going to improve so that I can... [Read More]

Copy paste from my reddit thing cause I'm lazy

Alright it has been quite a while since the last show, insane things have happened in the world and all sorts of things have happened in Starcraft 2 - but we're a strategy show! We talk strategy! Tonight while we get back into the groove of things, we're going to have a second look at Mech Terran play against Protoss and Zerg! That's right! TvP mech!

If you're interested in this topic or would have some things you'd like to say please drop... [Read More]

Something great is happening today.
Feelings of joy are brewing in my heart.
No it is not IEM, where 2 of Australia's best shall bring respect to our much unloved nation.
No it is not something else which you may have seen at work or some shit, I don't really know what happens in your daily lives. Perhaps tell me another time or never at all

Today all I have ever wanted has been achieved.

For what can dare to compete with the implications of this:

The Mighty Brad "Tgun" Seymour,... [Read More]

Lest we forget.

Lately theres all this talk about the unsung heros of eSports, and yes there are many of them we don't get to see. But i want to share some of My experiences.

*Disclaimer* I know i've probably missed people, YOU WILL BE EDITED IN I SWEAR. Also it's kinda directed at the people i have worked with directly, there are a lot of indirect people who still do so much, and i don't know your names! I'm really sorry, im too shy! *.*
Also they probably have done so much more from what i haven't seen... [Read More]

I lost 4 games straight and was sad all weekend.

I'm Steve Hunt or "FaDeEvetS", the maphacker who got caught out in 2011.

I hacked on and off for a long time on the ladder, eventually deluding myself into thinking it didn't give me that big an advantage etc etc.

This is my first attempt at an apology which will take a long time to fulfill.

Since leaving sc2sea in december-ish of 2011, i took about 5-6months off sc2, except for the occasional 4v4 games etc.
Around 2-3 months ago now, i started laddering up NA, i was unsure whether i... [Read More]

Hello everyone! EdgE here, and I’ve been planning to write this blog for a few weeks now, but I waited until after WCS wrapped up. This blog (both parts) will talk about a few things, primarily my stance in life/sc2 now, and also WCS as an event with talk of GESC/ACL and the qualifiers for those as well.

Part 1 (Photos courtesy of Various people, primarily Dot)

Now I THINK most of you reading this may know some things about me. I’m a young Zerg (I’m only 3 months older than cutie pie... [Read More]

This isn’t going to be an amazing write-up peppered with high quality photos. I didn’t bring a camera to the event, nor do I have that much time to invest in this post. Pretty much, all I have is pure, raw, nerd excitement welling up inside me. The kind that compels you to tell everyone you can how awesome something is.

The Sydney Barcraft, organised and run by the guys from The Australian Pro’ League, was awesome! I was so bummed about missing out on a ticket for WCS,(mind you, this was... [Read More]
