Help me win a trip to Korea \o/

jayaiwhy — Tue, 28 Jan 2014 01:26:48

hi SEA-tizens

It has been a while since I posted on this site, besides the tourney sign-ups.

I'm here to do a shameless plug of some of the videos I've been putting up on my YouTube channel / GOM eXP's. (Admins / Mods, if this is against the rule, do remove this whole blog)

So I'm known as "definitelymiwa" now, and I post circle-jerky videos on reddit (and used to post proleague highlights until I got stopped)

I'm participating in a contest held by GOM eXP, known as GCC (

Rate my observing

jayaiwhy — Fri, 15 Feb 2013 03:19:56

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=By-Qt...ature=youtu.be

As I previously blogged, I'll be observing at MLG, and I need to be as gosu as **** as possible before the event.

So the above video is a video of me vs jonnyrecco that I observed, and I would like as harsh criticism as possible from a spectator's view

MLG wants to turn off health bar, and I'm not quite used to it being turned off yet...

If you could spare some time, please have a watch and leave some comments in this blog right... [Read More]

MLG Dallas 2013

jayaiwhy — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 21:33:43

Just a quick update on what I'll be doing in the coming months~

After an interview and tryout with MLG, I'll be observing at the upcoming MLG Dallas :D

I'll most likely be on both streams at some point (red+blue) but I'm pretty sure Adebisi will the main guy for red stream. I hope to do a good job so they can keep sending me to MLGs =w=

I'll probably go to IPL6 as well, and play in the HotS Open Bracket, if not, I'll apply for observing there too. I want to get to at least round 3 or... [Read More]

Dallas recap and others

jayaiwhy — Sat, 12 Jan 2013 05:17:34

It's been a while since I blogged, so I decided to write one.

So November 2012, I went to MLG Dallas and worked for Quantic Gaming as their photographer.

My first face to face encounter with them was in a suite room at a hotel that we stayed. As I entered, Gwin (the interviewer) was getting ready to interview Brandi (Brightside).

There I met Ian, the one who I've been contacting on email to make this whole thing happen, and his couple of thousands of recording equipment that he had... [Read More]

Wedding Photography

jayaiwhy — Mon, 1 Oct 2012 18:43:20

I had a chance to go to a Texan Wedding last weekend.

I took some photos so I'm looking for some criticism as it's my first time shooting at an event like this.

Oh and my friend's band, Emberville, just released their first single/MV.

Not too sure what genre of music it is but here it is!

Starcraft and I

jayaiwhy — Wed, 19 Sep 2012 01:35:04

A story about a typical Starcraft player.

I'm not 100% sure about my first encounter with Starcraft.

It could have been the time when I was 6 years old (1999 I think), living in Hiroshima, Japan with my mom. She went on a trip to Tokyo with her university colleagues to do Taiko (Japanese drums) performances, so I was staying over at my family friend's place (also a friend from the same school) for couple of days. They were also Koreans living in Japan. I vaguely remember that one of... [Read More]

To the Protoss players out there

I kid.

EDIT:

Okay, here's the real blog.

I am in need of help with post-editing in photography.

I never liked the idea of messing around with photos because I thought it would ruin the whole concept of "capture the moment", but I surfed around the net to look at edited photos and I thought I want to give it a try.

I've been playing around with Photoshop for few years for school so I know the basics, but I was wondering if... [Read More]

Another blog

jayaiwhy — Mon, 27 Aug 2012 21:06:04

I've been posting quite a few blogs recently, but it's not against the rule right? :P

After losing a ZvZ in Masters Cup (so frustrated, I could've got to Ro8 :( ), I dedicated a day yesterday to improve on my ZvZ.

I sat down, grabbed a notebook and a pen and turned on MLG Summer Championship VOD to study Violet's ZvZ.

The series I studied was of Violet vs Gix. Although Gix isn't really the top notch player, I thought looking at Violet's play would help alot.

First game, he went... [Read More]

My First Masters Cup

jayaiwhy — Sun, 26 Aug 2012 11:07:06

Today I joined my very first Masters Cup.

Ro128: vs Legionnaire

Yes, the Legionnaire.
I frankly didn't know where his skill level was at but I was pretty sure he had to be good since he qualified for WCS. And it's Legionnaire.

Simple stuff, I 3 hatch LingBaned him and won the game

Ro64: vs x5.Bard

I used a build I learnt from lllllll (with a Queen portrait) on sc2sea chat. He claimed to be a smurf (PM me maybe, I'm really curious) and he had some interesting build so I... [Read More]

sRGRiM vs elain

jayaiwhy — Sat, 18 Aug 2012 23:50:16

We played two matches on NA.
Afterwards, I watched the VOD, and it turned out to be pretty funny.

Moving to US

jayaiwhy — Fri, 1 Jun 2012 09:27:53

Just a little blog, felt like typing things out

So I'm moving to US with my family in about 3 weeks, to Houston, Texas.

I'm worried about how I'm going to spend my time over there.

I don't know anyone there, and it's not like I'm going to be living in a residential college so I can't meet new people (I might be able to get into a college next year though)

I found that meeting new people at university isn't as that easy as it was in say highschool because most of them seem to be... [Read More]
