ACL was so much fun, but not everything in my trip was so great. I landed at 12:25 on Friday and set off on the crazy Sydney train system to the Meriton hotel I was staying at with Eddie for 2 nights. 1hour+, a lost pair of sunglasses and $26 later I finally got there, only to have them say "We can't check you in till Eddie gets here." RIP. Thank god they offered to hold onto my luggage, made the next few hours before Eddie arrived a lot better.

Ice, Frustration, pSymOn and PsychO
So coming into this weekend i has super hyped to attend my first ACL seeing the last few ACL's and listening to peoples experiences of them it was something i felt was a necessity and i wasnt disappointed. Admittingly results could have been better as were for alot of people. I was signed in for open bracket and was quite quickly knocked out which was a shame wouldve loved to have played on stage even if was against one of the power... [Read More]
This is a quick update for the ETL fellas, the Ex DGTV members and anyone else whose wondering where I've disappeared to.
So basically 2 mates and myself are moving in together here in Tasmania and we are getting NBN (so sucked in to anyone who would bag me out about being Tasmanian xD). We have also formed a Counter Strike: Global Offensive team which, we are looking to compete in CGa with high hopes of making Top5.
Right now we are still going through the long process of trialing two... [Read More]
So, Mr Bradley "Tgun" Seymour and Pam came to visit ACL today. It was great seeing them again after so long, to ask how everyone's been, how League of Legs is going, etc. Upon leaving the venue, Brad dropped a casual "I'd stay longer if the old guard were here" (or something to that effect!).
Now imagine: a tournament for the Old Guards pre-2012/13!
While sc2 is understandably just a memory for some, I do believe that for many (or most) people from that era, it was also a time that was... [Read More]
NOTE: If you don't play CSGO, just ignore this blog
Hey guys! Just making this blog to send a signal to any SEA (yes specifically SEA only coz Aussies have different servers) CSGO player out there, possibly Nova+ ranked. Planning to make just a simple 5 man squad. (This is just so that we can have a solid group to play with and rank up together )
I'm doing this coz I'm so tired of carrying guys who can't aim properly for their level and/or can't understand+speak English. Lost so many... [Read More]
Hey guys this is blog no.3
I'm still around, still playing although not as much as I would have liked. For the first month I was able to hit my 21 games a week but uni ramped up and over the last month I've only been able to get a couple dozen games in.
It feels a lot like two steps forward one step back. My APM has gone up from the 60's to the 90's which is cool but my biggest stumbling block is missing the 8 to 10 scv's before the 10 minute mark effectively crippling me. If I can just get... [Read More]
It's been so long since I blogged here! Today's one is just going to be real short, and more of a request for feedback than a fully-fledged blog.
The other week I had the pleasure of attending the WCS ro32 Premier in Cologne as an Expert and Analyst. It was an amazing experience for me to experience the show from the other side of the table! Getting to see these players up close and talk to them when not being focused on my own play for once was really cool I was able to... [Read More]
Making this post because I know a lot of people will be asking about Noodle Cup and Friday Fun Night, so I'm just putting it here so everyone knows and can help me answer if I'm not around.
Hello, for the month of June, I'll be mostly busy with volunteer work (painting and cleaning houses of the less fortunate). So, because I'm also a human bean like everyone here, I have to rest and recuperate. I'm busy 4 days of the week (Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday), so Friday Fun Nights are... [Read More]
Hey, this is Lachlan “Phoenix” Leslie – I’m a member of SYF GAMING’s Starcraft 2 Division. Over the last month or so I’ve been taking a close look at MSI GTX 960 100 Million Edition card. The GTX 960 is part of NVIDIA’s latest line of graphics cards, the 960 being the mid-range card. The 100 ME edition looks to add a bump in performance from the reference 960 card. The special green colouring celebrates the partnership of 100 million cards being made together between NVIDIA and MSI.... [Read More]
Been a little while, thought I'd just give a small rundown of what has been going on. Bit rushed and not really edited (sorry about that), but yeah enjoy! Will hopefully take more time in editing the next one.
Hello all!
So I wanted to start off saying how encouraging the responses were on my first post. I expected maybe one but to get ten including some fantastic advice was really awesome so thank you!
With that taken care of I'm sure you are all wondering how I've been going. It has really been mixed. Running at about 50% win rate I'm winning as much as I'm losing on the ladder. TvZ I'm sitting at 60%, TvP 40%, and TvT a lowly 35%. Still these aren't what I'm after at the moment.
Hi,
This would be blog number one. My name is James and I go by the tag Japetto. I am a very bad Gold player at the moment and to be honest even at the highest of my powers I was what one would consider a good gold player... I even won a few games against plats. Regardless I really would like to be a bit better at this game so here is a blog about me and my practices and thoughts. My like term goal is to make Diamond . My minimum goal is to play 21 games a week. Start easy, on top of this I... [Read More]
I’ve been learning Zerg lately, and I thought I’d share my thoughts.
All:
• I love that there are all these little things you can work on: injecting, spreading creep, positioning ovies and sending lings off to scout.
• I like that the majority of the micro is about positioning and controlling the meat of your army: setting up the roach hydra concave, executing the zergling flank, guiding the banelings into the clumps of marines. Infestors and vipers both have really awesome roles as... [Read More]
I feel like this blog is necessary for a few reasons. The most important reason being I want people to be able to be at peace regarding what transpired during yesterday's WCS broadcast by knowing the full story and to apologise for any negative experience anybody had as a result.
For anybody who missed yesterday's WCS Season 2 Oceania/SEA Round of 16 - overall it was very successful in my eyes. Viewership was high throughout the day. Plenty of close games and I thought the... [Read More]
I figured that I should write about my side of the situation that happened yesterday during the WCS qualifiers lower bracket finals against Frustration.
Before we started the series, Baldie told us that it would be played as an extended BO5 series with me up 2-0 from our series in the upper bracket. The ruling wasn't contested and I didn't give it another thought and just focused on my upcoming series.
The series played out with Frustration taking the first map and me taking the second,... [Read More]
So in the final game against kingkong i was really really far behind and the only way i could make it work and get the win was most likely going to be the Dt play with warp prism + very good engagements, after having very good engagements and controll with good warp prism play i manage to get back into the game from being very far behind, taking the game i went into etl chat and noticed the chat going crazy and this is what i saw.

This blog I attempt to explain the difference between Frustration talking smack and 'stirring people up' before games, and the blatant anti-sportsmanship of messaging him in game to put him off. I'll spare you all from what went on in the background with the referees, I was there but this blog won't be about that
So Frustration talks smack and stirs people in all the wrong ways, is very unpopular with players because of it, is known to have a big ego. Did he not prove last night he can stand... [Read More]
