SC2SEA.com - Starcraft 2 SEA eSports Community Site

So let it be noted that during this search for Minimats computer building issues I had to edit a lot of redundant or inappropriate text out of the skype conversation, what remains is a glimpse at Minimats journey through building his new PC.

Be aware there is some obscene language which I have hidden under spoiler tags, and have done my best to format this excessive amount of screwing up and talking about it on skype, but prepare yourselves, this was quite the exercise of Minimats brain and... [Read More]

So we have all heard his thoughts, which as retarded as they are he has actually THOUGHT about. Now I bring you, 'Shit that Minimat says with NO THOUGHT.' (Keep in mind I may have to make a few of these blogs to capture all his best lines from chatbox and skype; Not even finished one month yet..)

Sometimes I wonder if he is just this amazing troll bringing laughs and joy into our lives, then I realise he's not and wonder if he is okay.

Minimat has begun embarking in his Tafe studies, but... [Read More]

Hello, so this is the fifth episode of the way to GM series.
I see my level has grown A LOT. Even thought I got downgraded from Gold to bronze in korea, which i dont really care. I can play consistently and win to european and really often.
So, as you guys might know I´m not going to play ladder this season on the european server so I can have my 5 qualifier matches and get directly to or . So this season I will be playing a lot of korean ladder, a lot of practice matches and try to... [Read More]

Hi Guys,
I won a $100 Orcon voucher at the Auckland LAN and I use Telecom so have no use for it
Was wondering if anyone used Orcon and/or would be interested in buying it off me for a heavily discounted price? :3
Let me know

Hey guys!

With the flurry of PM's and such of asking things to be done, I thought its about time I let you all know whats going on

Currently I have organised for a month holiday over to England so I can chill out, and cause I can but also to think things through. Because I have had a hell of a time coming up with an answer I thought I would put it to the general populous of sc2sea (all you lovely sc2 nerds )

So as most people know here I have been actively casting, trying my hand at... [Read More]

I recently got back from 5 days at the "TA Retreat" hosted by TAVoices (Spud) and it stands at one of the highlights of my time involved in StarCraft. While there were some moments to top these involving "baking" I will try not to go into detail here both to keep this read suitable for everyone and to keep from embarassing some people. Basically what it was, was a week of about 20 friends from TA/StarCraft drinking, socialising, eating junk food... [Read More]

So, yeah. I think I've put off getting a promotion from to far too long. So, to kick myself into gear, I'm going to try to keep a blog on my journey there

First, a little introduction to those who have no clue who or what ThePandarine is :P I am a 18 year old A Level student who enjoys Starcraft II just as much as everyone on this site. I started with little RTS experience bar Command and Conquer where I play versus the computer on easy. Other than that, I;m your typical Malaysian boy who... [Read More]

This one's a bit short. It's silly and not very funny, but I think I found Tgun's KR doppelganger.



Playing against this style is a bit terrifying for a few reasons. The first is that you look really dumb for not making blue flame hellions (which I stubbornly refuse do to). The second is that because lings do not cost money, you're in constant fear for when he switches gear and dumps all that gas he's surely mining into something that does cost money. Like ultras. Or infestors. Or, you... [Read More]

Seriously, **** that guy. He's just too ******* english and mannered for his own good. Forces me by some psychic powers to spill my entire build to him after our game... ******* nice guy...

I think I have English fever.

Hello everyone.

Lately there has been alot of blogs which introduces their blog with a summary of other blogs mentioning getting better at StarCraft, and getting fit etc despite the fact that we are only human and only have twenty-fours hours a day. Nevertheless, we need to get better at StarCraft, get better at job or actually get a job, be a better family member, be a better boyfriend/girlfriend, get better at astrology and be kinder to the indigenous - So I thought I might do the same!

Hello everyone I am lolwut! And as most of you know I have been / for about A year now. But now, The time has come, for me to finally get off my ass and start laddering. So I will be posting a blog about my ladder adventures into masters and beyond!.

This series will start today.

Game 1 of ladder.

Spawning ZvZ on Cloud Kingdom. I am reasonably happy with my ZvZ as I have decent micro and can read the game pretty well. I open up my standard 14 gas and 14 pool. My opponent 12pools me.
[Read More]

I hate it when I start doing really well on KR one day and the game decides I must be of a GSL worthy skill level so it matches me up against ******* 7th GM's.



Note: this is a reference to something Rossi asked Fin on twitter. Basically we weren't sure if what he was doing was his legit proper strategies. Fin's response was "No I only funny games for fans". We now use it as a saying for not taking things seriously, ie "I was gonna study hard for the test tomorrow but instead decided to... [Read More]

Let me ask you a question.

What is it about sc2sea that keeps you coming back? Is it the open tournaments and leagues that the wonderful admins of this site dedicate ridiculous amounts of time running smoothly and efficiently? Is it the sense of community? The incessant drama? Being able to interact with South East Asia's finest Starcraft players? Maybe you're just looking for a friend?

Me? I guess you could say that I like all of those things. But late last year, I found myself looking... [Read More]

A little bit of background for anyone that doesn't know me. My name is Jared Krensel and I'm a full-time SC2 progamer (zerg) from Sydney, Australia playing for Tt eSPORTS.

A few weeks ago I made a goal to get GM on Korea by next season.

Day 5-8:
Summary:
Took friday night and saturday off to hang with the gf was really fun and refreshing to just hang out away from my room i spend all week... [Read More]

This was intended to be a small progress report but my journey to get to bronze was much shorter than expected. No doubt aided by my shortcomings as a player in a few of my placements, it took just over two dozen matches before I was consistently playing bronze players.

This process in itself was a journey of discovery and showed a surprising capacity for build improvement. When I think of delta formation I don't imagine too many players being more experienced at it... [Read More]

Gold, not to be confused with silver is actually the 3rd from the bottom league. I'd like to say i'm in the league. I repeat, i'm in gold league. I'm in SEA's, NA's and KR's mediocre league: Gold. Some of the perks that come with the league is availability of both the BSG and the GPD tournaments. I've entered a few from memory two GPDs and one BSG. In one of the GPD's I won my first game against a Diamond Terran (ftw) only to be knocked out in... [Read More]

Thanks to Asrathiel for editing!

Replay Pack

Hey guys, after SGL had finished I had a few people ask me for replays, and since it was as easy as looking at my own PC after-the-fact (thankfully, I had "save all replays" turned on), I figured I'd do the good deed and get all the replays up, as well as do a write-up of my feelings of SGL overall.

I hope you enjoy the story!

I don't live too far away; I live with my family, and since my brother... [Read More]

Achieved so far on the European ladder
[X]
[X]

Yesterday I decided to stop playing the European Ladder atleast the whole new season and try to get my level higher on the Korean Ladder. I´m not trying to achieve GM there, but the practice is better and I have less lag on the Korean server (now my internet its a crap and it takes some time to upload pictures and stuff , so sorry, no pictures ). So most likely I will try to play better, with no distraction of my European friends to play... [Read More]

Hey all,
This is the first post in my blog series that I've decided to make. It will be containing stuff about starcraft 2 and eSports but not limited to that.

The mantra I have adopted this year - a new year resolution actually - is to "be better".

It's pretty simple really. I am aiming to improve at everything that I do. Being content with something is not on the cards -- I want to do nothing but improve.

The reason for this is predominately because over the last few years I... [Read More]

As I was having yet another competitive and hard-fought match on the Korean server with their BSG players I realised - everyone knows what Korean GMs are like. Everyone has seen their games in GSL or analysed their replays, dissecting every single one of those 400 actions per minute. What would be a lot more interesting would be the unsung heroes of the Korean ladder. We know... [Read More]

In for a laugh? Then wait till you see my best of battle net for this week in time.

These posts are 100% serious made in the SC2 Forums on battle.net.

That is all.

(for refrence, this was the first aus/nz sc2 tournament that took place about a month into beta)

I like this game because it shows a hint of how ******* aweful even the best players where back then, but still shows how similar PvZ is playing out to how me and glade played this game out (2-base, +weapons immo timing attack vs mass roach).

awesome things to note:
My opener dies to pretty much everything because the sim-city makes... [Read More]

Day 1:

Summary:

Off to a slow start. I lost my 2nd placement to a silver. I quit.



Excercise:

I got up once to get some muesli

Games played, who I played, tournaments:

This game started out well, I was playing as random and I got a ZvZ which, while my worst MU, meant I had a slight advantage being Random. It wasn't until the point I started the game that it all went downhill.



I got a good baneling hit off on his mineral line as my plan worked (13 gas 13 pool early speed) and I had... [Read More]

A few months ago I made a goal to get diamond on SEA with each race. I achieved this more or less. I then set out to get masters on SEA. I gave up. Now I am going to get GM on Korea.

Lately everyone's posting blogs about getting fit and improving their play even when they are simply just fat or bad and it sickens me just reading them. So why not show them how it's done?

So here's my history with the Korean server:

As you can see from my Liquipedia page my ID on the Korean server is the... [Read More]

First blog to be written on my phone!

Woke up at 11.30 today half an hour later then yesterday nooo! Immediately signed up for playhem and grabbed cereal. Hit a few easy games for 3 rounds before hitting anyung.prime in zvz on cloud kingdom. God I despise this map. the colours are ugh and I dont practice on it. It's joining the ladder pool though so i guess I have to start playing it . I got pwnt by a +2 roach hydra timing despite having infestors out because I was simply behind. I took a... [Read More]
