I was quite surprised as my usual win rate is only about 60+% (4-5 wins) for arena (I track my win/loss in a spreadsheet). So I went on a run, and when I hit 10 wins I knew I had a chance for the magic 12.

Rewards were pretty...

Fine I will recap it.

It was a PvP on Ohana (I randomed), and given how I don't like PvP, I went for my standard PvP build:

Proxy 2 gate! Unfortunately, he scouted it with his probe after seeing nothing in my base, and promptly puts down a gateway and forge. (His pylon is on the low ground because...

I just played a (horrible) game on ladder (TvT) which illustrates just this point I think.

I basically do everything wrong this game - opened with proxy 2 rax which got scouted and failed, A moved into a tank line (multiple times) with MMM, reacted slow to drops, got...

I just made the mistake of trying to play standard against a Protoss and forgot that they can win on one base.

What's stronger than a 2 base 6 gate timing/ 7gate all in ? A 1 base immortal all-in. (ok maybe not, but I've had more practice with the former than the latter)

(All games were from TCP vs iRL in SEACL, basically me vs ZiggyD)

Just to give the game some context, I was hanging around in the chatbox earlier and Shortizzz was talking about how 7 pooling was a legit strat on maps like Shakuras, TDA, where your opponent is definitely going to FFE. On Shakuras it's even better because you don't have to Drone scout, your OL will be able to tell you where...

After hearing about TCP's in-house ladder, I wanted in on it and so I asked Frogmite if I could trial there. Being the kind soul he is, he welcomed me with open arms, and I got even better news when he told us that a team had pulled out of the PDCL, and TCP would be replacing them.

As many of you may know, I've been streaming a whole lot recently. It started off when I got the D3 beta and I wanted to stream it, so I finally decided to figure out how to set a stream up, and it just carried over to SC2 from there naturally.

I stream basically all the time I'm playing, so you can tune in any time! Special thanks to the regular viewers such as Bjornbrandr, Dtorr, Zoom, Nemo, Antarnis, minimat, Aean, etc...

I'm enjoying playing all 3 races and letting the random dice decide which I use :) I am still in Diamond League but I am winning a considerable portion of my games (60%?)... hoping it doesn't promote me though haha as my P and T aren't up to scratch yet (my Z is nothing to boast about)
