<br />
As we all know ACL Brisbane is coming up very soon! With the groups being announced I thought I'd do a little analysis on them and my predictions for the group stage. Given that it is rather unknown who will be attending the open bracket, I will leave out the x-factor of who will come through for this analysis.<br />
<br />
<font size="4"><b>Group ZvZ (A)</b></font><br />
<ol style="list-style-type: decimal"><li><b>PiG iZerg</b></li>
<li><b>Law iZerg</b></li>
<li><b> NXZ iZerg</b></li>

			<description><![CDATA[Hey all, this is something I've been thinking about for a long time and it feels good to finally get it off my chest, but I will be stepping down as a competitive player and moving into casting/management for SLCN.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately I got quite sick this year after AVcon and found out I was unable to attend ACL sydney, this put a huge blow to my motivation as I need something to strive for. I tried to focus on online tournaments instead, but TPG really screwed me over in a lot of tournaments,... <span class="smallfont">[<a href="showentry.php?e=1419">Read More</a>]</span>]]></description>

			<title>ACL Melb: Petrify POV (thanks fenner)</title>

			<guid>/blogs/showentry.php?e=1302</guid>
			<description><![CDATA[Okay so firstly this blog is totally 100% a ripoff of fenner's because I found it a really really cool read! Secondly, I've just had a 12 hour day at uni so please go easy if this is a total ramble or just really poorly written!<br />
<br />
<font size="5"><font size="4"><b>Pre-Melbourne<br />
</b></font></font><br />
I wrote a blog a few months before ACL about how I was going to step up my practice hardcore in the lead up to this event because I wanted to do really well. Despite the fact I didn't achieve the specific goals that I wanted to, I was extremely pleased... <span class="smallfont">[<a href="showentry.php?e=1302">Read More</a>]</span>]]></description>

			<title>#dedication? More like #fakepet.</title>

			<description><![CDATA[Calling out #fakepet<br />
<br />
The title of 'real Pet' sits with me, after Petraeus shamefully lost 2-0 to me in our last battle for the title. Now recent developments have put us both into the same group at ACL Melbourne. I couldn't be happier having #fakepet in my group.<br />
<br />
It doesn't matter how much #dedication #fakepet has, he will never take the title back off me. My zvz is too good for fake pet to even take a map off me anymore. He has no chance. Thus, I propose that whoever wins in our group stage... <span class="smallfont">[<a href="showentry.php?e=1279">Read More</a>]</span>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Around January I posted a blog after I returned from a long holiday which basically stated that my goal for the year was to win a tournament. Since then, a lot has changed, and while I haven't reached that goal, it's still my major drive.<br />
<br />
The biggest change for me since then was joining and forming Team Silicon Sports. Despite an early hiccup with Rival quitting starcraft, I could not be more happy with how this team is headed. We have picked up Kez, Stoicwilly and Pezz since then, with all of... <span class="smallfont">[<a href="showentry.php?e=1224">Read More</a>]</span>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This is my first blog, I am writing this more for myself than anyone else as I need to put some words down from my mind.<br />
<br />
I recently just returned from a 2 month holiday (binge) in Europe, which was incredible, however this is a Starcraft website so I wont bore you with my real life adventures.<br />
<br />
A few months before I left to Europe I decided to play in some SEA tournaments for the first time, after spending a long and lonely time laddering on NA and playing in Playhems. I had some pretty good... <span class="smallfont">[<a href="showentry.php?e=948">Read More</a>]</span>]]></description>
