Hey guys, How are we all? Just thought I would update you all on my progress and that of my family.
Family first, my grandparents are fighting strong can't wait for christmas with them. We hope it's not their last but it may well be :'(
Back to the fun stuff: SC2
Since being in masters I have been having ups and downs and more and more flaws in my game are coming out. This however is good the more I have to work on and fix the more I want to play. I'm on the long road of becoming the best and masters was one small step on the way there.
For now though I'm looking at getting to the top 32 for the OSC Championship. I currently sit at rank 43 and I'm within striking distance. But to close the gap I have to beat prozer on Saturday night my time. If I don't get in I will obviously be disappointed but I know that next year I'll come back bigger and better and be in the top 32.
Which leads me on to my goals for 2016. Seeing as this will be my last blog for this year I thought I'd share some goals I'll be aiming to hit in the year 2016.
In no particular order:
I would love to hit Grandmaster. That would be a great achievement and something we all strive for when playing sc2.
Get my name on the right hand side of SC2 Online for being an OSC tournament winner and to have my name in the top 20 points for the OSC.
Obviously to get these goals achieved there is alot of work inbetween there and now, but I'm not afraid to work hard and get the results I desperately crave.
My IRL goals are to become healthy: for too long now I have been overweight and atm I'm a heart attack target so I need to change my lifestyle and eating. I have already spoken to Nutritionists and a few PT's again - its alot of hard work but I want and need to be healthy so lets get the Ice to melt in 2016!!
In my first blog I opened it up for people to ask me questions about life and sc2 I have a few that were sent through. A couple were asked to remain anonymus and thats fine
Q1 (Jevyn) - How long have you been playing?
A1 - I've been playing sc2 for a long time since WoL however I only started playing competitively in about March last year
Q2 (Jevyn) - Why protoss?
A2 - I switched to protoss originally because in Heart of the Swarm they had such a great ablility to be cheesey and aggressive now I dont think I'd ever switch away. Protoss is love protoss is life
Q3 (Anonymous) - How is masters
A4 - Masters is challenging but its a challenge I'm enjoying, playing against better opponents is helping me improve fast. No-one likes to lose
Q4 (Anonymous) - Is replay analysis something you feel helps
A4 - Replay analysis and self analysis are crucial to improving: not only noting the things you do bad, but also the things you do well is also very important
Ok guys that's it for this blog. I hope you all have a Merry christmas & a Happy New Year

Good work on the SC2 progress though, keep it up.
Can't express how grateful both I am personally and x5 are for all the effort you put into the game, the academy and your team mates. Hope we can support you in any way possible to reach your goals.
