Howdy howdy!
It has been quite the while since I wrote part 5 of this journey. Why is this? It's because I have recently started a company with my friend and despite being new, we have quite a few jobs already! For those interested, it is a software engineering company that sets up and creates tools specifically for small businesses.

ANYWAY! On top of that, I am at heart a professional Quake player, and my last ever CTF tournament final was coming up (I'm transferring to SC2, yay!) so I had to... [Read More]

I've been pretty inactive over the past couple of weeks due to the remainder of uni (as explained by my 230+ bonus pool o_o) but now I'm back and completely active for a whole month! ^_^

To cap over the past couple of weeks, I was in a little bit of a slump due to lack of practice. Moreso against Terran (IMBAAAHHHHHHHHHHH :P) because my micro is shocking and simple decisions such as splitting my army in half and attacking from two directions just seem bypass my limited brain at the...

Hey all, I'm overdue for another blog! ^_^
Let's start of with a quick recap over my last blog.

So last time I blogged about my recent promotion to gold, my ZvZ troubles being solved and my ZvT troubles beginning to blossom. Well to sum it up I have sorted out ZvT with a couple of standard builds that lead straight into the mid-game most of the time.

Now! Some of you may or may not know, but I recently had the pleasure of playing against one of my real life best mates Solis in the grand final... [Read More]

So yet another week has gone by, making it two weeks I have been in Gold.
I would like to start off by saying that my sudden spike in improvement when I was in Bronze league has indeed stopped here. I have started winning very few games in a row and taking a lot of losses.
Why?

TERRAN IMBAAAAAHHHHRRHHRGGGHHHHh /nani

Nah on a serious note though, I have been trying many home-made strategies against Terran which have all been stomped repeatedly... by Marines (funnily enough).

My usual openings... [Read More]

SO! My last blog was about me whinging how my ZvZ is so bad. So first I'll begin with a little update on that.
My issue is micro. I am a Gold level player through above-average macro and mechanics, but my micro and decision making is horrible. Of course, ZvZ for the first 6 - 10 minutes (all opinion, feel free to post yours) is intense micro if there's any sort of rush. I kept failing miserably since I would attempt 15 hatch, and then could not hold any rushes whatsoever. I eventually knuckled... [Read More]

SO! As many of you may or may not know, I am one of the main culprits behind the #foreverbronze tag :]
In the past 2 weeks, I have gone from losing 8 games in a row to winning every ZvT and ZvP in bronze and silver that has been unfortunate to cross my (fast expanding) path.

However, this is not the case for ZvZ. When I play against another zerg, whether they be Bronze #1 or fresh out of practice league, I am always doomed to lose. If I go speedlings first I get hit headon with banelings. If I... [Read More]
