Something online has been irking me lately, and everyone knows that the best way to get that out of your system is to post on an online forum where you sit safe behind your keyboard and only have to suffer the wroth of other people sitting behind keyboards. So here goes, I'll sum it all up in one sentence and then explain myself.
So today Fourby, Fenner and I started new hardcore characters.
Fenner started a DH and I started a barb, but then I died at level three because I fanged it too hard into mobs after removing my shield and being a badass duel wielding ************ like I am.
So then Fourby joined in and said he wanted to play a DH too, but Fenner said "no we will die we need a melee person" so I volunteered to play a barb again (even though clearly I am too hardcore for a barb)
So, lately i've been keen to start practicing 1v1 on Kr server and practice my korean too, yet i can't play because i get 400ms ping unfortunately.
So looks like i'll be playing NA for the time being. I am currently in Diamond, facing up against masters players. (probably due to my inactivity for 3mo)
I beat vVvVirulent yesterday, don't know if he's popular.
Also i wanted to stream but my internet won't let me... sorry T_T
I'll see how S8 goes for me! ... [Read More]
I'm doing a video on every zerg opener I can think of, and will them progress onto how to control your army in the midgame, as well as transitioning from midgame to lategame, and lategame army control. If you have any suggestions for something that I haven't covered, please feel free to message them to me either on here or on youtube. ... [Read More]

Recently i made the switch to random, and all though my time i spend on 1v1 ladder occasionally is fun, and every time i roll protoss i roll my opponent, or when i get zerg i get rolled, or when i get terran i make a banshee and win the game, it has been fun and i've learn't a lot, but i want to practice more a specific race.
I'm switching back to protoss to practice harder and improve myself at the game... again.
This time, i will only be laddering 1v1 on Korea. I will not play any other... [Read More]
Alright, so knew I was going today, planned to get a good night's sleep last night; instead went out, got home at 4:00, slept, woke up at 10:15. Thank god I packed my shit last night, bolted out the door, to the tram stop and got there in 10 minutes *whew*. Got there at around 10:27, no breakfast, thirsty and slightly hungover. Thankfully Dox decided to wait for a couple of players, so wasn't I late.
I set up, bought some orange juice and water, found the brackets, and played my first... [Read More]
I'm sure everyone knows about this channel already. I have checked the search function on forums and nothing came up so I thought for anyone who doesn't know about this channel already and "knows your starcraft" they could take a look at this.
About the channel I make music videos featuring the best American SC2 players. If you're reading this and not already subscribed you're probably a terrorist. - Taken off their youtube channel... [Read More]
I have a day off tomorrow and my mid year physics exam is on on the horizon so I asked myself, who am I and what do I want to do? I know these are the sought of question your grandma asks you when you visit her at Christmas but it is nonetheless a question I had never really seriously though of. Currently in my final year of high school I am studying specialist, methods, physics, business management and English language, having completed VCE Accounting last year and achieving a...

So as some of you may know I was on the NZ tv show good morning (still waiting on link)and had wcs NZ. This is going to be my write up on how the weekend went. Enjoy my wall of text ^_^
The Flight
So the start of my weekend started at 4am on Friday with my flight to Auckland. Going to sleep at 10pm i thought I'd get a decent amount of sleep and be able to function well the next day. How wrong I was. Ended up lying in bed not sleeping until like 2am. So 2 hours sleep and getting on a flight... [Read More]
Hello everyone, I finally got rid of ladder anxiety thanks to a ton of tips and today I´m just going to get them all together for the people who still have it or to some people who have problems to gain more skill level.
Please keep in mind that this wont help higher leagues since most of them already got passed this.
Its been a while since I was able to totally own players. But infact I coudnt get past on ladder. That was in part because of the anxiety and because I would do stuff that... [Read More]
A bit of background info first.
I started playing SC2 early February and haven't looked back.
Initially I placed into Silver straight off, but got demoted to bronze and worked my way back up to silver. A season passed and not a lot happened, staying in silver. 2s/3s/4s were all in bronze or silver.
However that all changed recently! I got placed in 2v2 gold on both NA and SEA, and 3v3 plat on NA and SEA too, and not even 10 minutes ago I got a league promotion from 1v1 Silver to Gold! [Read More]
SEAL Tier 5 was a BSG team league with a couple of plats thrown in. Some teams had paticularly low level rosters and certainly entered with a philosophy of playing for fun. Others quickly established themselves as teams to be feared. Teams made light hearted taunts and boasts, Volition wrote excellent weekly round ups that kept everyone in the loop and a sense of community within t5 emerged. At the same time it fostered healthy competition and a spirit of self improvement.
Sup people im Santi, you probably know me for bming you on ladder, calling you a noob on chat or calling you a hacker during a tournament or we just party some night pretty hard and forgot who we are but whatever lets go to the point.
This is my first blog ever btw so dont hate. (**** you deL)
Now im sure you all thinking lol I can beat this guy on ladder so how does he think he can win WCS? Well heres the trick, im Colombian.
Colombia is one of the countries who will play the regional... [Read More]
But before I tell the tale of now I have to tell you how I got here.
Part I - Childhood and adolescence
One step at a time, one foot in front of the other. My head hung limply down as I watched my feet walking forwards across the black. As I watched the hypnotic motion of my feet across the ground the darkness slowly began to recede and shapes and colours began to form beneath my toes. Blurry lines turned to sharp edges and took all... [Read More]
So I'm moving to US with my family in about 3 weeks, to Houston, Texas.
I'm worried about how I'm going to spend my time over there.
I don't know anyone there, and it's not like I'm going to be living in a residential college so I can't meet new people (I might be able to get into a college next year though)
I found that meeting new people at university isn't as that easy as it was in say highschool because most of them seem to be... [Read More]

Sup. Another day spent wisely as I remembered that I hadn't read the latest Feist novel so that consumed my time (sucker for that kinda stuff). Huge cliff hanger ending going to make the wait until the final instalment next year even more painful TT. Best book of his in a lonnnnnng time for me. Going to try and read more "real" books this year, will see how that goes.
Holidays soon, but that means exams even sooner. Cram cram cram. Someone teach me about Machine Design,... [Read More]
Two movies opened recently in Singapore, here are my reviews of them which may come in handy if you're thinking of watching any of them.
Snow White and the Huntsman
Before watching: A superb trailer which got me anxiously awaiting this movie for months. The premise is excellent, an alternative take of the snow white story. And yes, it features The Mirror, An Evil but Sexy Queen who literally sucks the youth out of women, Poison Apples, Seven Dwarfs and Thor.
Little people know about her existence, she participated in the recent leetgion ESL Iron Lady, along with pro gamers like Aphrodite, Eve, Flo etc. but sadly she falls to Scarlett and Maddelisk in the Round of 8.
Although most people in SEA are playing Diablo 3, this lady here continues to practice hard and finally she made her way into GM in SEA server~!
Yeah~~
Kkkk congratulations ^-^
Sorry for my chobo English :P... [Read More]
It's been a while since I regularly read the chat box or browsed the threads. I'm not very up to date with the going on's and i'm definitely not up to my preferred skill level, but after a month (give or take a few days) of computer troubles, i'm finally able to play SC2 again! fingers crossed). I also get to finally play Diablo 3, although it is a bit ruined for me a bit i'll still enjoy the story and finding out all the shit just the same.
