My First Major Starcraft 2 Tourney Experience was also Our Biggest!

G'day all, while I am still riding the high from WCS (even after a 13 hour drive home) I thought I would make a bit of a blog about my thoughts and experiences. There will obviously be spoilers.


I'm just going to dot point a bunch of things here that I want to cover, too much stuff in my head to come out with a cohesive essay-style post.

Stand Out Games/Series

Saturday held the most... [Read More]

Whew! What a long 2 weeks it has been since I set myself to get masters on the Korean server. With alot of commotion within Clan FaDe a few weeks ago, I decided to set myself towards a goal to show that you can improve purely by commitment and self analysis on ladder.

So the story was that some people felt that they weren't improving as much because there was no one to teach them. I felt this was a shallow idea, and even though people in higher leagues can give u nifty tips there and there,... [Read More]

Bear with me. I know it may not be blog worthy but to quote some of our more eloquent members, '**** you!'

Results Day. If anyone was in chat, they would know how much I was freaking out. So, I had stayed up pretty late assuming I had done the math right about when I can check my results. Turns out 2 months of not doing any real maths can really affect your ability to do so.

I crashed out on my bed and just slept right through the check-in time for results. My parents had came over from... [Read More]

So, I decided to play some SCII before my results come out (hurr hurr durr durr). I contemplated some 4s or maybe 3s till I realised something. It's 1:00am (3:00 to 5:00am for those further out east!) in the morning. Who would be up to play teams?

And, after about 2 months of not playing SCII 1v1 (save for a few recent practice games with some fellow members), I clicked the little orange/brown/amber button.

Within a minute or two, I found a game! Hey! Someone is still up! Then I found... [Read More]

Dissapointed isn't the word I'd use to describe how I feel right now. I think this is about as sad as I've ever been in recent memory -- losing WCG didn't even put me into this position.

A teaser!

The good news for all the kind folk who both followed my journey throughout the tournament + gave their support - I shall have a blog written up by the end of the week: it will probably be released after wednesday, as I'm waiting for a response from System on if there shall be a podcast this...

Wooooooo! Got myself a new mouse today.
Ttesports Black Gaming mouse! xD

Its my first proper gaming mouse. Before I was using some Microsoft intelliexplorer or something. :P
This little guy:


This Microsoft mouse stood strong against the harsh nature of a teenager's gaming requirements.
But it was time, to let it go. You shall not be forgiven, sir. Let your strength be known to the world. xD

This is my new companion:



Let me just say, its just boss. Ive never used a mouse... [Read More]

Thought I might make a blog to congratulate Tek.BiGbiRd on taking out MF.iaguz 2-0!

He hung in until the bitter end both games making tactical and clam decisions to go on to win both epic macro games. The group hug form all the Tek boys, Miles and a few others was really amazing and I wish I could have been there also! Hopefully he plays well in his games tomorrow with a very tough opponent in Team Immunity's MaFia!

Please give us a like on Faceook etc which are all in my signature it... [Read More]

Cross-post from my proper blog duckvillelol.com...

I sit here on the train, rolling along on this cold Winters day in Melbourne, looking forward to a weekend of fun, Starcraft 2, and yes – the promise of hope for the local scene.

“Why so glum?” you say, reading through these idle words, well – it’s a matter of precedence. For a long time the SEA and in particular the Australian region has been waxing and waning in terms of the “size” of it’s online presence and “input” into the community... [Read More]

I got a half decent beard but it seems this on isn't so lucky as my previous beard
I'm sitting on less than $200 to my name and have to move out in a week... I can at least hide my stuff at my gf's place and live out of bath houses (gf super conservative parents means I can't stay with the gf)
Luckily I still got a month on my visa to find a job and that is not going well so far either...
I want to stay in Korea and support my gf as she finishes her final year of vet studies so would rather... [Read More]

Hi all. I have taken the time to create a blog I will ongoingly update with my progress towards my dreams of running the biggest eSports event in the world. I aim to be as transparent and open as possible!

Extract from blog
"My heart has and always will lie with the community as a whole. My success is directly proportionate to the success of those around me and I will never put myself in a position where I feel I am the only person benefiting. It is only when those around me are looked after... [Read More]

Hey guys, recently I've been having some problems with my Radeon HD7970 GFX card. Here are two threads outlining everything that I've been through so far: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/36...ys-headset#bas
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/view...c_id=359029#12

I'm quite lost as to what to do now, and any help in fixing the issue will be greatly appreciated.

Otherwise, I'll be calling the computer company who built my computer tomorrow, I've had endless problems with this computer, and... [Read More]

I have no guests for WCS. I believe it's 2 Friday, 1 Saturday, 1 Sunday.

Let me know if you want in

Wow! i have been mistaken all this time, I used to think that Zerg was imbalanced vs Terran well it turns out i was wrong tgun has shown me the light i am no longer blind to the fact that Zerg is balanced. This is ******* hard to write about i guess marines are good? and so is the capability to make 20 drones at once. balances out i guess. is this 100 words? i cant find a word counter so i am going to assume this is 100 words here are a few more words to make sure.
Zerg Terran Balanced Tgun... [Read More]

I am GM! went the other way this time, i am happy to join the ranks of the other joke GMs on this server. i wont name, names but you know who you are.coughSwitchcough in any case

ToR fightingggggggggggggg

So today I tried logging in and failed like 15 times

went to battle.net and couldnt log in,

When I tried to recover my password and my account details, it would just tell me my name and email confirmation didnt match, and same with my number.

I have collectors ed D3 and TW accounts tied to the account so its worth $200+ -.-

on the 5th (3 days ago) I got a random message from Blizzard telling me "this is your verification code" with a 6 digit number, but I thought nothing of it,... [Read More]

G'day again!

Since I had such a positive reaction to my last blog post I decided I had better get another one together again! Instead of making two to three smaller posts I decided to make one super post instead. Heh.


So the tickets for WCS sold out fast huh? I got in within two minutes of them going on sale and managed to secure tickets for both my missus (Amy) and myself.

The event is super exciting, it's a... [Read More]

Hey guys i'm TNClouD from Team Nights, havnt been making many post on here due to work and training. Recently i have had a thought that wouldnt it be good to have a clan war to be set up just like the GSTL where there are booths and streams with casting and an audience, a live event where SEA clans can duke it out infront of hundreds of people, Korea has taken the first step and i think we as the SEA community can get this going to, i live in sydney and i would really love to help get this type...

I just thought I'd share this, an opposite of how CNN portrayed us gamers.

Ironmen is a TESL (Taiwan Esports League) SC2 team, that held a press conference/event for fans as they're going to start competing internationally.

The host seen in the pictures, is a very well known TV host, he has shows everyday on prime time in local Taiwan TV.

In the video clip, he states to the reporters that he has acknowledged all 17 members of Ironmen as his god-sons, as he has a son in the states who... [Read More]

Spo0k is an extremely competent player at sc2 - his multitasking as well as brilliant tank placement, ability to use a wide variety of pressure builds and general micro make him a force to be reckoned with.

In addition his stream is extremely entertaining, as you have to turn your headphones down just to be able to make his often hilarious rants legible. However, sound levels aside, his stream is fun to watch.

Terran is a hard race to play, the macro of Terran is difficult and the micro... [Read More]

nvm link didnt work delete plox

So I figured it was about time I did one of these; I doubt it will come close to the spectacular versions both mafia and iaguz have offered us, but hey its all for laffs.

To begin this magnificent game of magnanimous proportions, I decided to open with the "savior build" which many protoss on our very own sea server will be familiar with.


Little did I know; but toss opponent had plans of his own =0


Up until this point I had yet to suspect the toss playing, lets say, funnily,... [Read More]

Tgun will win wcs because he has one of the best zvt's in the whole of Sea and because he knows all the mechanics and timings of all the Races in starcraft 2.

Tgun Has much potential to take the tournament because of his Acl appearance was very good and he could do the same in the wcs tournament , so i feel like tgun will take this tournament with ease.

Tguns practice lately has been very very good and i think if he keeps practicing the way he is he wont even have a challenge at wcs, hes... [Read More]

I would like to express a public apology for the disgusting behavior exhibited by a former member of ToR (I do not feel its necessary to express his name)

We would like to express that this behavior is NOT tolerated at all by our Clan. As a result of this isolated issue we want to say sorry for how this former member has behaved and as a result of this he will no longer share a place with ToR.

To play and actively Bm players in this competition, whilst he was STONED along with the... [Read More]
