I feel like this blog is necessary for a few reasons. The most important reason being I want people to be able to be at peace regarding what transpired during yesterday's WCS broadcast by knowing the full story and to apologise for any negative experience anybody had as a result.
For anybody who missed yesterday's WCS Season 2 Oceania/SEA Round of 16 - overall it was very successful in my eyes. Viewership was high throughout the day. Plenty of close games and I thought the... [Read More]
2012 ended a great year of StarCraft for our scene. After an excellent WCS final where we saw Australian and New Zealand champions, PiG and JazBas, fall in the Oceanic finals allowing Mafia and mOOnGLaDe to step onto the world stage. 2012 ended with the SC2SEA power ranking placing the players in this order:
We had an amazing time in Malaysia recently. I especially loved GEORGETOWN in Penang! I wonder if there is a minon craze in Australia too. Probably not lol.

Im gonna try and push myself to ladder more and to get better. By the end of the year (when its holidays and i finish schooling) im going to push to become a better player more then ever. I wanna achieve professional status. I want to be up there with players like moonglade, pet, iaguz, light, satu and all the other SEA pro's and other pro's in general. Whether anyone would wanna join me in this journey is up to you.
I wanna have the chance to show some pro players (not going to name them)... [Read More]
Hey guys, haven't made one of these for a while, so figured now is as good of a time as any to express my thoughts leading up to and including this last weekend at ACL, and also have a few ramblings that have been on my mind recently.
So, without further ado!
After qualifying for Avcon I was pretty pumped to practice my balls off to try and do well. This was another 16 player qualifying tournament that I managed to qualifer for of off nearly no practice, so that felt pretty good, and I... [Read More]
Foreword: I was going to write this last night, but my computer broke.. well to be more specific, Windows 7 broke. Had to re-install everything (and still in the process of it) but luckily I didn't lose anything important; gotta love the option to keep everything in a "windows.old" folder before the re-installation!
Yesterday, SC2 players of Adelaide got treated to having a LAN event at Arena Internet Cafe in the city centre! It was an extremely nice experience and I am... [Read More]
Ok i thought this had to be pointed out, as i write this blog there is currently only about 100 GM's on SEA and i wouldn't be lying if about 30% of them aren't even active enough to stay as GM. A lot of our pro's (who i won't mention for confidential reasons) have purposely or accidentally dropped out of GM or don't ladder to GM for reasons like...
1. i heard GM's say stuff like you can win like 2-8 points but then lose 20-30 on the ladder which makes spending the bonus pool difficult.
I got promoted to . Happened when the new season started.
Chain of events:
Turns on SCII ---> Does placement ---> Loses ---> Gets placed in
I have no idea how Blizzard's MMR System thinks I'm Platinum worthy with the number of games I've dropped (as a result of trying to play with my dorm Internet). But I'm enjoying my time in Platinum Especially smashing people who are so...ERGH

I'll keep this short and sweet as to not take up all your time, but I am looking for some co-casters for events next year.
There are a few requirements to meet:
1. You MUST be Sydney based. No exceptions.
2. You MUST be willing to travel to local events on a regular basis
3. You should be flexible. You are going to have to work to an event schedule, and if you are unavailable for several events, it is annoying for me to have to find backups.
Had this sitting on my pc for a while now, never got around to it getting published. Thought some people might enjoy it. Note most of the stuff in this is pretty out of date by now!
Player Spotlight: Daniel ‘SQL.delete’ Li

Currently balancing Starcraft with his HSC,... [Read More]
I haven't written a blog in a while and this is something that I have been mulling over a bit so I thought I'd just sit down with a coffee, some music on Pandora and ramble on for a while. I recently started a new job and have to take a bus in to Castle Hill each morning. This gives me an hour of idle time each day where my mind runs wild and also put some thoughts into my mind.
In my first week the bus trips seemed chaotic, but by the Friday I was beginning to spot familiar faces getting on... [Read More]
Hihi! Decided to start trying to blog after being inspired by my friend x5Bard's improvements and progress blog. Also, my favourite Chemistry teacher said that putting goals down on paper makes them real and more tangible, which is why he got us to all write 'I will get an A in Chemistry' at the start of the year. I'm hoping by putting my goals down here that they'll be more real and I'll be more focused when it comes to playing Starcraft 2!
At the moment my primary goal is to only play... [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.
Right apparently there's a bit of shit going round about this so let's go.
I was 2-2 in groups at ACL before I had to play my team mate Pokerface. If was lucky, a 3-2 finish might be enough to put me through to top 8, assuming everyone else except ninja was 3-2 or worse. Benji did not know my results properly though and thought I had no chance at all of making top 8 so he asked that I throw my games to pokerface purposefully to smooth his way through.
Wow! My first time blogging after so long and my first sc2 blog post ever. This is purely my own personal opinion towards random players.First of all, I'd like to say that it is rude for players on ladder to ask this question to a random player ... " What's your race ? " Sometimes, I'd just answer, " Chinese " while sometimes, I'll just screw him up. If it's a friendly game, I don't mind to reveal my race but since that its a ladder game, I think I deserve my early game advantage as I need to... [Read More]
I was never really a fan of RTS games before - seeing as most seemed to involve no strategy and just about getting more units. I could never see the strategy in them and still don't in most RTS games.
But then I stumbled across some casted games from the beta of sc2 and was intrigued.
After some time passed bored and a friend with a guest pass led me to download sc2 and give it a try and I enjoyed it enough to buy it.
Now since then I have had technical problems not to mention my... [Read More]
I hate it when people discuss balance without taking into consideration the skill of the player. Why? Because when people discuss balance there are always bias arguments about the adjustments that need to occur. For instance a Zerg player is more likely to say that Zerg is under powered and a Protoss is over powered, where in the reverse situation (Protoss on balance) assumes that both are fine. I just feel as though it starts unneccessary arguments about the game and it provides... [Read More]
