(TITLE) Unjust Case against Frustration.
Recently some members of the sea community decided to institute a 4 week lock on Frustration. The silent members of the SC2SEA community challenge Eddie to show compassion and leadership by standing by his original decision or revoking the 4 week lock.
At the end of this there is a personal apology from frustration to the community.
Here is the story:
“Frustration was removed from the tournament bracket for typing a lot in the channel chat... [Read More]
If anyone has seen my stream over the past few days, you would have noticed I haven't been using a webcam, it's mainly to hide my face, I am in a really bad situation financially and not really dealing with it too well, it has put a massive burden on myself and my family.
I apply for 10-15 jobs a day and have been out of work for close to 2 months, I have sold my old car (my first car) to cover as many bills as possible, have sold many other items just to keep myself on top with everything... [Read More]
So today I played a game on ladder (crazy right?) well it was no ordinary game. It was a ZERG VS RANDOM GAME
My opponent was a very nice chap and very kindly proceeded to tell me which race he had spawned as. But by a small stroke of misfortune, he had actually missread his own race and had actually spawned as protoss!
Honourably, he began to make do with the card RNGsus had dealt him. But though he had told me his race, I did not trust the fiend... [Read More]
I'm sure I will cop a lot of flack from the SC2SEA circle jerk brigade for this, but I just want to give some insight as to what this website has become from an outsider's point of view, and why it is highly unlikely that any new talent will join the SEA Starcraft 2 Scene (apart from the fact the game is dying).
I very rarely visit this site; but when I do, I'm greeted by 1 of 2 situations:
1) No new content has been posted
2) Several blogs have been posted, all of which serve no purpose... [Read More]
As gamers we are explorers. We are time travelers, we are puzzle solvers. With constant new worlds created for us to explore we become the masters of these universes. Every detail from our approach to problem solving to the precision of our skills are tested under stressful conditions. This define us in the digital realm, it unleashes us to heights unparalleled to the reality we live in from our jobs and study.
But good explorers need good equipment to explore these captivating worlds, as... [Read More]
So, I more or less stopped playing around October(?) last year. I started playing again a bit around the new year, played a couple of tournaments, but it felt pretty forced, plus I had full time work commitments which were pretty full on, so I stopped playing again when I moved back to my parents place in early February.
Since I've started studying, I've been busier than ever. Each day I'm waking up at 6am and going 20km into town to go to lectures, labs, tutorials, study groups....... [Read More]
The night i thought i was going to have a good night, it started as the girl i know was going to come out clubbing with me and my mates but around 5pm she messaged me saying she has a headache and wasnt going to come out clubbing.... At that moment it was the worst feeling and feeling like shit i went around to my mates to start drinking, started drinking straight away and playing beer pong, we were using Rum (Captain morgan) and ginger ail a very good combo atm. so pretty...

So starting friday i had nothing really on till about 5ish where my mates were like lets go out to mandurah which is about 40minutes drive to the pubs, we got there around 6ish and started at a Irish pub and being a Irish pub i think everyone had to be Irish to work there. Started of with a few pints of beers and then went onto vodka and orange because well thats my favourite drink, at around 8pm after being there for a couple of hours my mate got kicked out for being to...

Hi I'm Stodd a protoss player. Some of you may know me for my 1 base shenanigans on ladder or for my rant blog on how broken zerg is. Today however i have important question to ask to the community of today.
First off a statement that will lead to my question. You see, i've been playing this game since early WoL days where warping on the high ground was possible and zerg's broodlord infestor was practically unbeatable once it hit late game. Long ago i used to hang out with these GM's in a... [Read More]
When I was still new to sc2sea, it was initially chase.. But after being sorta out of touch with chase, I found a new senpai. He was named Ben aka pokeman. But once Ben went into uni, he's been really busy and i haven't been satisfied for the longest time. So I went on a search for a new senpai. Weeks later, I changed senpai to SouL since he was so supportive and all that shit. But then I suddenly got somewhat closer to Wally in a way that made me get more... [Read More]
Been a rough day... hmmm delayed hatch delayed pool?
After a mad drone chase denial etc etc this managed to go up
Scout probe did Chase proud... scouted the entire map as well to ensure no hiddens as well... I guess just have to ensure no nydus now.
But one moment of not looking, saw the nydus go up asdf
So I sent a small counter force to his main. I also intentionally targetted the nydus because he is not going to go home.
He sends all his drones into the nydus to... [Read More]
Hi, many of you know me as a troll back year or two ago in the community but ive still been around in the skype groups following this game and the community.
Tonight i had a interesting conversation with "Ice" manager of the Dynasty about hosting a LAN in a dead state, Future of Dynasty and money management.
So this all started when we were talking about relevant sea players, someone commented wally oh nvm, followed by a every dynasty player oh nvm. Ice commented saying his team was... [Read More]
Hey guys Ice here, gonna give you guys a recap/blog about how i feel the recent WA LAN went
This Saturday just gone, there was a LAN held in Joondalup in the Fragzone Lan Cafe WA. During the weeks leading up to the LAN the we thought we were gonna get upwards of 20 signups come the day, we only ended up having 12.
Never the less the LAN went on, Notable absentees were Mvp and Armi. Due to such a small crowd we changed the formats to bo5's so all the lads could have a fair crack and... [Read More]
One fine evening... on the lovely map Vaani Research Station... there was a probe. Sent to scout around with the memory that this player might had cheesed before...
wow WOW, what's this?!!!
To battle! This evil probe obviously has evil intentions!!!
First blood!! To the disbelief of my opponent.... that should teach him not to cheese!
This probe deserves a medal and a raise!
PS: *This also ends up being my shortest legit 1v1 game ever*... [Read More]
We at have been concerned about the lack of profit from the popcorn sales operated by yours truly, the one and only,
Slayer
We investigated the mystery of why despite good popcorn sales in the past, that we were unable to afford sponsorship of BenQ monitors for our mGG peeps. Slayer then confessed that he had been secretly eating the popcorn as well!!
We discussed and decided to give him a 2nd chance.
We would like to present Slayer's new Popcorn Mobile business.
Its been a very busy last couple weeks for me, I haven't been able to get much StarCraft in. It's nice to have some time to catch up on things.
But first things first I need to announce the result of my charity drive in aid of the Boarding Kennel & Cattery and Adelaide Fire Victims.
The streams managed to raise a nice $82.32
The lion's share of this $82 came from x5.Doombie's cast of my RvR Tournament. So a huge thank you to Exile 5 and Doombie for helping out. I would also like to thank... [Read More]
Recently several players have approached me asking about issues with them raging at the game, playing worse than usual, going on tilt for long periods and in general having trouble progressing and finding where to improve. I myself had a horrible ladder session yesterday on stream where I went through some of these same symptoms. I thought I'd grab a few of my responses to my students and throw them together into a mini article. Hopefully this will help some of you with your progression as a... [Read More]
I, as of today will be stepping down from SYF Gaming and playing as a solo player, as I think I probably should be teamless and also I dont think I belong on a team.
SYF gaming was really helpful and supportive to me and is a very good team to be in and the players are awesome to talk to and so is the manager Matt (INSANO), so thanks for everything guys it has been fun.
I WONT be joining anymore teams in starcraft or teams for along while as I dont think I suit them or do I deserve one. I... [Read More]
I think I'm gonna writing this blog once I completely wake up, once my brain isn't in the stupid state. But oh well, it's probably gonna be funny to some of you guys so I'm willing to sacrifice my face to make the days of some people.
The dream started off by me waking up in the morning, so that already didn't trigger me thinking it was a dream. Everything was normal and fine, like what I would do every morning, until finally there's something different from the norm. I saw 2 people whom I... [Read More]
With all this drama going on, I think we need to lighten up a bit.
I have like $30 and the store is close, I shall go there tomorrow and buy as many things as I can and eat them in a sandwich.
What things? Well, first 10 people to post can write 1 ingredient each and I shall buy them~
Don't post stupid crap like "dog shit" or "dank memes" (memes would be yum though)..
If I could be fucked i'll stream it, otherwise i'll just take pictures
