I've been thinking about writing this blog for a long time, and yet, it's taken months for me to realise where I am, and the goals I wish to achieve. In fact, I'm still lost as to where I want to end up in life, and the thought of my life's reason manages to escape me still. I guess I think that getting this off my chest might help me, especially when the SC2SEA crew always seems to help, no matter what the occasion. I guess from here, the best place to start would be at the beginning...
Hello to you all! I decided to do a lil hype for ACL Melbourne WHICH IS FREAKING TOMORROW IF YOU HAVE BEEN LIVING UNDER A ROCK! Hooooolllyyy shit I can't wait for this. After Sydney all I could think about was practicing and seeing everyone again for what are some extremely fun weekends! As you might have seen groups were drawn on Wednesday and they look a Lil something like this:
Group A: Edge, Tgun, Glade.
Group B: Mafia, Pox, Light, Dippa.
Group C: Rossi, Techtron, Targa, Yoon, Bigbird.[Read More]

Pretty much what the title says. I'm lazy and stingy and curious to see if anyone wouldn't mind sparing a couch I could use for 2 nights whilst I'm down at melbourne for ACL and GESC.
Blanket would also be appreciated. I hear it gets a bit nippy down there.
If you don't know, Tiger have $10 Flights from Melbourne to Sydney Expiring August 30th or something. So if you want to go to WCS and you're from melb but think its too much money?
$10 EACH WAY
($15 Booking fee)
$35 Return Flights.
If i make it alive that is....
:P
I've flown Tiger twice with no problems, better than Virgin imo.
As many of you have already noticed, i don't do much stuff for the SC2 community these days, not that i used to do a lot, but i didn't have any kind of activity recently.
I don't have much free time (and passion) anymore to continue being an admin and moderator for the SC2 community in SEA.
My job is pretty time consuming (my girlfriend too ), and i just set myself new challenge in life, as i will try to develop my own video games. The goal is not to sell them, as i... [Read More]
Hey everyone, I just wanted to make a blog to let you all know:
I MADE GRANDMASTER!!!!
WOOOOOOO!!!!!!
I'm so happy
I'd like to give a thankyou to Zoom who has helped me achieve this skill level by playing countless practice games with me.
Also to Delete for giving great feedback and advice on some of my replays as well as for his stream which also helped me improve.
A thankyou goes out to all my other practice partners including those in my team (Solarity) who have all... [Read More]
Just an update on my progress with learning the Korean Language.
I started about a Year ago, Learning Hangeul and getting a bit more into it, started a blog about my lessons but i stopped because i didn't really think people would be interested in it. I just made this blog to share my progress so far and my thoughts about it!
First off, Hangeul is super easy to learn and read, Go learn it! Especially if you play Korean Server, You can see Konglish words (English words written in korean)... [Read More]
I mentioned last night I might do a quick video blog on just some general topics, such as my team, and SEA in general. If you're interested, check it out. If you aren't, that's fine too!
It's important to remember that this is purely my opinion, and it is fine to have a differing one, but please keep it civil. Insults and the like achieve nothing. If you can't watch this without getting angry or pissed off, simply don't watch it.
I'm sitting here writing this one at 1:30am - I have to get up for work in a few hours, but this blog is long overdue. If I may, I present to the past 6 months of my life; the abridged works of TABJ.
The start of the year was a big upheaval in my life. I'd just finished high school and had been enjoying the life of someone who had absolutely no responsibilities except for turning up to work every couple of days and looking after the lady-friend. I received my acceptance for the University of... [Read More]
Since I'm generally not too well known on these forums, or by many people in the SEA region in general, I figured I'd use this blog as a way to tell my story, so hopefully people can get to know me a bit better.
I'm a 17 year old gamer living in Victoria, and ever since I was eight years old, I began gaming, inspired by my brother to play an old MMO-RPG called tibia. Here is where I began to realise the joys of the internet and online gaming. It grew on my friends also, we'd all go to each... [Read More]
Throughout my stint with Xeria Gaming, I was treated with utmost respect and friendship. I was well looked after from a player's standpoint and thoroughly enjoyed great friendships and comradery within the team. Benji has been a marvelous manager - hard working, pleasant, professional, flexible, and always looking out for the team as his best interest. I have tremendous amount of respect for the man, and he will always be a... [Read More]
On the SEA server I am a
I decided to do my NA placement
I won my first 3 of 4
It was game 5 which was interesting
Game 5 vs
(After game I found out he was High )
I tried and failed a blink stalker build while he hatched first into roach/ling
I switched to HT/w storm and he went Broodlord
He had four bases and I had just lost my third when I moved out
During this major engagement, which I lost
He had lings in my base which I tried to deal with with some Zealots

I suck at writing, but I wanted to put this down to be read somewhere. Where else but the best Starcraft community around?
As much as ladder is important to becoming recognised in starcraft, it scares me. It isn't that I hate losing, I understand that losing makes you a better player if you have the right mindset. The reason I hate ladder is that I feel that I may not be up to the standard that I hold myself at.
I have been playing Starcraft2 since season 2; although my dedication to... [Read More]
Too often I hear people say 'You should have done this,' or 'if you added this into your composition, it would be far better.' Not to say they're wrong. A lot of advice will come from players equal, or higher than you. To someone like me who is in Masters, you listen to what they have to say since they're in GM. Recently FaDe had a clan war, and I was singled out as having a terrible playstyle that is stupid/useless/crap/trash in a TvZ by the streamer/caster. Not a nice chap. Needless to say, I...

So I was browsing through my pictures folder the other day (turns out to not be a large folder only 415MB... desktop on the other hand 22GB) and I found this old image I made from way back when I intended to start streaming.
Streaming never eventuated but my goals did... the image was made on the 22nd of September 2011, I was gold before the end of 2011 and I'm currently platinum.
Fancy that... now onwards to diamond!... [Read More]
Hey everyone, as some of you may have seen, at the start of the year I began a youtube show called "What Happens in Starcraft" with the goal of providing a short weekly update on the premiere professional scene in Starcraft 2. I had never been on camera in my life before then, hated having pictures taken and was generally terrified of any form of public speaking. I did however have a feeling that there was a hole in the Starcraft 2 scene as far as spectators were concerned, and had an idea on... [Read More]
Disclaimer: This is a joke blog obviously, if you're gonna see it any other way and be offended by it, your issue is probably not with this blog, but with me. It does however tackle a serious issue of missing items and customer service!
Today I've decided to share my experience with a moving professional company.
Day 1:
I attempted to move my items, all 2,000 of them. It was a relatively simple process, and I only had to click a single button "send to stash!". Whoa, technology... [Read More]
Ah I love being able to do one of these. Recently tgun was lamenting the lack of Bielsko in SEA tournaments. And to be sure the guy could come up with some clever stuff. But I think I found his Asian doppelganger.
Someone should tell him that pylons don't have "lower depot"
Proxy robo bay....
**** it TWO robo bays!
Load up let's go! Note that this is the first part of the game that he'd actually scouted any part of what I had. He had literally no idea what strategy I... [Read More]
Wow! I've been busy lately and today i'm slacking off at work :P So i thought it would be a great time to catch up on some personal things, like check my twitter, emails and more importantly write my thankyou notes to the community.
Thankyou, Carriers. For being so OP that you have to be completely removed in the expansion instead of nerfed.
Thankyou, Queen and Overlord Buffs For Helping out the SEA Community. Zergs were really struggling here!
Thankyou, ACL Melbourne For actually... [Read More]
