I've never written a blog of any topic in my life, so this is my first blog ever, and I would like to dedicate this to xGKingLight.

So today, I woke up from a 2 hour sleep after staying up for at least 24 hours preparing for my upcoming exams. I decided that I would ladder a few games to wake myself up and I met Light for three times in a row as no one else was online.

The first game was just a long macro game where I simply lost because I wrongly engaged a very important battle. The second game was a short game where Light mindgamed me and 4gated. The third game was definitely the game that I should have won from all the advantages that I accumulated until I ran my army into his storm.

I didn't feel all that bad because Light definitely is the better player, but the third game just started off my usual complaint about balance. I said something along the line of "protoss can come back with storms, can terran?".

I left the game and Light told me about a lot of things that started off with telling me that I'm an idiot. Normally, if it was any other player that insulted me, I would have definitely started a fight against him. But throughout the three games, Light did definitely prove to me that he obviously understands the game alot better than I do, so I decided to listen.

What Light told me was something as simple as "you are not good enough to talk about balance and insult whole race of players because of it". A lot of people did probably tell me a lot similar things. But it did not strike me as hard as when Light told me, because I could not deny the fact that he is a better player that has much better insight to the game. I guess the authority of the person trying to fix me right really matters, and it was Light that finally made me think wholeheartedly about the insults I've been creating against protoss.

I finally came to a conclusion that even if the game may be imbalanced, I certainly am not in the position to be insulting the players or rage about the state of the game. I still am really bad in the game, and I really should be working on learning the game more than just concluding that it's not my fault that I lose.

To Light, you didn't even give me a chance to respond to you by logging off after you told me a lot of things. Hopefully you'll get to see this blog. I really appreciate what you have done.

wow blogging is interesting. well then, off to studying for exams again.
