It's been a while since i made some thankyou notes, and i just want to stop from what i'm doing and thank some various things in the starcraft community.
Thankyou, Korean Terrans. For telling me all about your 1-1-1 Strategy at the loading screen
Thankyou, Timing attacks.
For being that timing when i get supply blocked and now i need to lose some units to build more.
Thankyou, Announcement threads. For discussing everything but the actual possibility of an announcement.

Day 3:
Summary:
Shorter recount today. Woke up at 11am. Played a ladder game to warm up for playhem. Played two relatively easy rounds before meeting GosuWBC (details below). I jumped straight into Korean ladder sore from my loss and had to deal with retarded delay, dropping games to a bunch of noobs and then falling to desrow's hyper-aggressive play. Even the stream started lagging so I turned it... [Read More]
I weighted myself this morning for an encouragin 95.5kg
I am a slightlt early on schedule (0.14%), but considering that i went for a highly caloric weekend with no physical activity i believe it's a good score.
Notes:
+i can run for one hour at the gym
+i only eat very little bit for diner for weekdays
+i didn't drink coke/beer on weekdays
- i can't do diet on weekends
- after petanque i like to drink beer
- didn't do sport for the whole weekend
So I've noticed everybody lately has been making these motivational posts about sc2 and life and it has really motivated me and I've decided to make one too regarding my new show.
You guys may have noticed that i have not been playing too much lately and its because i have been working on this big new project of mine in America. I'd really appreciate it if you guys could show it some love as i feel it is going to be HUGE.

Summary:
I woke up an hour earlier today (11am ZOMG!) which started off the day much better with some cornflakes and began to practice. Had some coaching and then back into the practice whilst streaming. Just as I started losing focus and just play badly I decided "Ok 1 more game before I get ready for dinner" I hit que, it instantly finds a game and then up on my screen BAM: Anything vs oGsMC. (See more below for my recount of this matchup!) After this debacle I go to dinner at... [Read More]
Ok so I got off to a slow start on the first day of my new goals, not waking up until midday . I hopped straight into coaching while eating breakfast and then had my next hour of coaching cancel. So w00t extra time to practice! I actually somehow only managed to play 15 ladder games though in the period from when i finished coaching shortly after 1pm until 6pm. I'll explain more on that later.
My brother had seen my blog and decided to help me meet my exercise goals... [Read More]
A few weeks ago I made a goal to get GM on Korea by next season.
A few days ago I realised just how close the end of the season is and how little time I have to get my play to be consistently at such a high level.
Lately everyone's posting blogs about getting fit and improving their play and whatnot and its motivating just reading them. So why not write one of my own?
So here's my history with the korean server:
Basically I started investing any noteworthy amount of time into the... [Read More]
Hello! I know that numerically this is 'Day 4' of my exercise plan, but I've decided not to count my recovery days as a part of my plan because my recovery days would subtract around 12 days from my total, which would give me 2 weeks less to achieve my goal!
Anyway, today my legs were feeling pretty good. I rested them for around 32~ hours, after a massive KBBQ session at Jong Ga in Brisbane, and then an all-night sc2 binge with the boys.. I ended up getting to sleep around 9am on Sunday... [Read More]
In this Blog I'm going to share my experiences and thoughts on the travel part of my WCG trip in Busan, Korea. The actual matches and meeting the players part will come next as the final part to this blog series. Sorry this took so long, I've been putting off doing it cause it takes so much time to type up. Hope you guys enjoy the read!
This is the basic outline:
Day1:
Flying to Busan
Cobo
The SPA Story
Opening Ceremony Dinner
Alright, so this is Day 2 of a 60~ part blog (I'm actually writing this a day behind, so realistically I am on day 3 right now) and I have to say that I'm performing a bit above my expectations.
1/Exercise.
Today's goals were to continue my normal exercise regime but there was an added twist.. I was going out clubbing that night. So basically I ran around 6 km before I left for my friend Shockwave's house.. and we did probably 1.5k~ together. It's not a huge deal I know.. and it is a... [Read More]
Hi guys , so here I come with episode 3 of this series, coudnt really play because each time I got to 200/200 my net would die.
This was playing against my brother. But if we both tryed to play ladder / custom games it would lagg anyway, my internet somehow started failing and i didnt have internet for more than 2 days (LOL)
So what did I do? Analyze some dreamhack 2011 winter VODS and when my internet came back in really low quality i played custom matches with clan mates.
This is just something that has been running through my mind for the past couple of days.
I started playing Starcraft 2 at the end of February 2011 so almost a year ago now. I had just come from a heavy FPS online gaming background and aside from playing Age of Empires 1 and 2 when I was a little kid against the AI I had no RTS experience. I had seen a few of the pro gamers for SC2 and after having achieved the top of my game in CoD (I was mostly playing private matches against other clans... [Read More]
Hey guys, I know this is a bit late, and I was going to type it up last night but I really couldn't be bothered.
Anyway, I've decided to break down my weight loss into a few separately tiered goals.
1/ Fitness- I must be fit enough to run at least half a marathon.
- That means lots of cardio, every day if I can. I'm allowed one rest day a week (I'm thinking it will be on Sunday). Otherwise I am running a minimum of 4km a day, and 8km if I am not working and I have the time. The runs... [Read More]
I don't know if you are aware of my existence (I know some in the SEA community are) but I have been a part of the community since launch but really immersed myself around April last year. I was more of a spectator than a player for most of last year, and only recently decided to 'get good' myself.
I have to say that this decision is perhaps one of the best decisions I've made in the past 18 months. For the first time I feel a desire to achieve something. This game sparked a... [Read More]
As i can't lose weight without your help guys, i'll update the blog everyday to show my progress .
I will need your support in my long quest.
I will also post some graphs with weight lost forecast, percentages, statistics. I'll try to analyse how am i losing weight in order to improve in the future.
My target is to lose 10kg in 60 days. Cutting one of my leg would help but i will try to not cheat.
Everybody is telling me that it's bad to lose so much weight... [Read More]
Hi guys, I've been trying this build lately, and having huge success vs Players, Looking to refine this build to the next level. (if i don't lose to something stupid.
It still has some flaws, and i'll post replays later, with replay analysis later.)
Protoss v Zerg
Goal:
Kill the Zergs 3rd with a super early WG from a FFE, Deny it again (or a 4th) while dropping in the main and the 3rd/nat at the same time with DTs and immortals, killing off important structures... [Read More]
So after basically a month of very little motivation I have decided I need to force myself to get into the habit of playing.
Coming off the ACL 4th place is kind of a big deal for me as I have always wanted to be one of those few great players of Australia.
There's basically a bunch of Protoss who are pretty good, pinder, sensei for example, but nobody really stands out like mopglade does for zerg... I want to be that guy.
So starting from 1/2/2012 - I will be practicing hard out, trying... [Read More]
Seeing as SGL occurred last weekend I thought I might make a blog about it with my thoughts. (: Just keep in mind that the things I mention in this blog are to do with the LAN event itself, not Gamejam or any of the other stuff.
This is the first SGL(or similar kind of event) I've ever attended. I was quite excited to see how it would pan out
A promising prize pool was on offer:
More importantly, there was a pretty nice prize pool for SC2 alone (thank you
So, have just completed my 50 games as Protoss on my way to 50 games as each Race. Started at Rank... 18? I think, on the ladder, ended up at rank 9. According to SC2 Gears, I've gone 26-22-2:
PvZ - 11-7-1
PvT - 8-6-0
PvP - 7-8-1
Hunh... considering I went into that fairly happy about PvP and not so much about PvZ, it's definitely unexpected...
Things learnt:
- ****, PvP is a cheesefest which you do NOT get to experience as a random. I've had enough standard 4 gate v 4 gate into... [Read More]
