SC2SEA.com - Starcraft 2 SEA eSports Community Site

I know I said in previous blog posts that I would be continuing the series about my games in Masters League. However, after much deliberation, I have decided not to. A few reasons led to this decision, with the main ones being:

Absence of motivation
When I play games, I set some goals for myself. Back when I was playing WoW - WOTLK (last year, way before SC2 came out), I had 2 goals, to kill Lich King in my self-made 10man PuG and get the Frost Drake mount (the one you get for completing all the achievements in ICC + heroic). Once I had done that, I deemed myself as having 'completed the game' and I stopped playing WoW (and sold my account)

In SC2, my main goal was to hit Masters League. GM league clearly requires you to be both highly active and naturally talented, and so I told myself that I would have 'completed' SC2 once I hit Masters League.

With this goal I pushed myself to improve and keep playing, and also started this RTM series to spur myself on and to entertain the community. It motivated me to keep fighting, and eventually I did hit my target, and am Masters now. As a result, I don't really have any motivation to ladder anymore. I still love playing pick up games, but to go through the stress and rigor of laddering again... nah.

Writing and other responsibilities
A second reason for not continuing the series is because I have more responsibilities piling up.
1) Head Article Writer
I have been holding this position for a while now, and basically I've been organizing the written content to be published on the front page, at the same time trying to generate my own content.
nirvAnA has a great vision and a great plan for SC2SEA.com, and I'm enjoying every bit of working alongside him and contributing in this way. I hope to be an integral part of this exciting, vibrant, developing community!

2) School
I exploded into the scene recently after my semester ended and I had alot of free time. My new semester is going to begin again, and I'm going to have to focus on my school work. Thus managing the writing scene, playing sc2 AND writing a regular column is going to be out of the question. Thus I'll have to do without the last one


It's been fun writing this column, and I'm glad to see other people writing their own blogs too! Keep them coming!

I still regularly play pick up games from the Protoss Strategy Channel and 2bh, so you can find me there. My personal assessment of my different race standards:
Zerg - High Diamond/Low Masters
Protoss - High Platinum / Low Diamond
Terran - Gold
I don't mind using any race, so just look me up for a game!

I'm considering going into coaching, but I don't know how good I will be at this.
I have done informal coaching sessions, but not structured, formal ones. I'll be having my first one soon (a BSG winner requested me for some reason =X ), and if it goes well, I may open it up to whoever actually wants me to coach, because I do love helping BSGP players!
(I don't feel quite qualified/confident to coach Diamond players, because I can play a decent level offrace Protoss/Terran ag the BSGP level players, but probably will die to Diamond )

We're still looking for more writers to be part of the official SC2SEA writing team. If you like to write and want to contribute to this awesome community, please do contact me.
I'm trying to build a sizable, capable team, so that with a good rotation schedule noone will feel overtaxed and the writing pace is a comfortable one.
Drop me a PM if interested!
