May 2013, the last month of an eventful one year long-distance relationship with my girlfriend. Needless to say being the last month of solitude, I was determined to play many games of HoTs. I was also very motivated to improve at HoTs, after laying an egg in Arena LAN (no offense to Satu and Taz, they were much better HoTs players then me there), annoyed at forever watching ZvZ finals, and always feeling underrated. Also reading this Being a foreigner right now - and ACL Brisbane made me realise I need to stop just being content at mediocrity and actually apply myself, because I know I can.

So it all began with this Facebook update shortly after Arena LAN.

However there was still the obstacle of work.

I knew I wasn't going to let a few committed hours stop me, I even had my stream set up. But I never thought I was going to do this

Or this (can you guess what the Blue and Golden horizontal lines represent?)

So I've been waking up, going to work for 9 hours, coming home to play/practice StarCraft for another 9 hours, sleep for about 6, and back to work again. EVERYDAY. Needless to say I'm currently on Voltaren and need to be very careful about pushing my wrists and arms into RSI.

As Pet would say #Dedication. Or I would say #Total Devotion.

I heeded your call Jared,

It is time for the rest of us to step up too, especially those bearing psi-blades!

This is upsetting or happy? suggests you broke up, move to Adelaide or she moved to Sydney.. :S hoping for moving rather than break up :S

Good to see more SEA-citizens taking up the call of #dedication !! SEA will take over the world!.

Stallion: No you don't, you always post about starting wanting to play, but every time I hear you talk about how you never play, and you always have an excuse, this is why whatever excuse you use is wutevz.

Russo: She's coming back for good.

Fenner: I find MMR stats to tell you where you are any time during a season whereas ladder points are always moving forward. I just recently got it because I was angry from not being promoted, now I just know I gotta wait for the new season.

Re: May 2013

how do you play for 9 hours after coming back from work? I spend 8 hours at school each day and can only get in 3-4 hours allowing for 8 hours sleep. do you just not eat/chill/shower at all?!

Re: May 2013

I try hard not to be a little 'cat' and don't need stuff like sleep and food.



........



Lol jokes I obviously don't play for the entire 9 hours. The eating/showering/breaks are there, just irregular and not planned for. If I go on a big enough losing streak I might play for the entire 9 hours.
