So, Mr Bradley "Tgun" Seymour and Pam came to visit ACL today. It was great seeing them again after so long, to ask how everyone's been, how League of Legs is going, etc. Upon leaving the venue, Brad dropped a casual "I'd stay longer if the old guard were here" (or something to that effect!).
Now imagine: a tournament for the Old Guards pre-2012/13!
While sc2 is understandably just a memory for some, I do believe that for many (or most) people from that era, it was also a time that was... [Read More]
Back in June, I recorded a few videos with Sam about how he started playing StarCraft and the crazy things that occurred once he got good at it. It was highly illuminating for me, especially since I only knew very basic outlines of his career prior to this.
He talks in depth about training hard to get his progamer license, then joining a legendary team STX Soul (that is sadly now defunct). He also talks about what happens inside Korean Gaming Houses: the jealousy, the players who didn't... [Read More]
This game has affected us all in some way. For me, it has forever changed my perspective of gaming and the people who play them. I am currently living in Europe in a team house. I am surrounded by people who view this as their job. Had someone told me I'd end up here I would have laughed and directed them to a mental institute.
Four years ago, I met a dude with big glasses who liked to play computer games. Its amazing how the current of life sweeps you to unexpected places and... [Read More]
There has been a lot of issues with my tournament mindset, not performing the best I should be
This is x5_PiG's vlog of his thoughts after winning the SEA Championship Series. He touches on why it meant so much to him, what his preparation has been like for IEM Singapore and also what his newest TV show addiction is.
A lot of concerns have been raised in other threads. I just wanted to give my personal view of last night. In a semi-coherent rage form..
Why was the bracket designed to last 10+ hours? There was 3 hours between the first and 2nd round. THREE HOURS. Many of the other rounds had a whole hour and a half designated when the sets were done in 30 minutes. Myself, the koreans and everyone else playing from the other side of the world had to get stay... [Read More]
When Jared "PiG" Krensel returned from Korea last year I forced him to book a holiday with me to make up on some time together. The destination of choice was Surfer's Paradise on the Gold Coast, my favourite holiday location. Little did we know that we would be spending the entire time together, most of it cooped up indoors watching movies instead of relaxing by the beach. The ex cyclone that made its way through SE QLD left a trail of destruction and a bucketload of rain.
This is the first episode of PiG's new youtube content focusing on interviews and zerg tutorials. In this episode PiG talks about the lows and highs of 2012, shares stories from Korea and talks about what he plans for the future, including his team/sponsor situation.
I apologise for the poor interviewing manner (from me), this is my first interview and I had planned to edit out my questions as subtitles. Will either make subtitles next time or actually write down questions... [Read More]
