Some of you may or may not know me :P, and for those who dont well you will shortly

A couple months ago I made masters, and I think like all other players I was overjoyed!!! Thinking to myself "I might actually be able to get somewhere with some practice!!!" I made sure to keep hitting that ladder button, play as many matches as I can, analyse and practice.

I will admit these past few months have been the best few of my life, giving me something to strive for.

Rewind to earlier this year, I was struggling with life and university trying to finish up. I had lost my passion for engineering and mathematics, and having to do this work against what I wanted starcraft was the one outlet I had to have fun and get my mind working hard.

So you might think what has all this got to do with how much I love startcraft? Well lets just say until last week I was just a player, a nobody trying to get noticed. In an effort to get notivced I decided to join a high level clan Nerve, who have been quite awesome since joining. (Seriously guys check em out :P they really are quite awesome... and yes that is some shameless plugging )

A post comes out for the roster for this weeks clan war, my FIRST clan war. Excitedly I put my name down thinking this is the time to show my stuff. The matchup was to be nRv and SPR, and as the time came closer I realised the level of players I was around and was really happy and proud to be there. This got me thinking, will this be casted? I mean it would be awesome if it was casted!

So stupid stupid me asked if it was, and to my disappointment it wasnt and at the time I did think "well I suppose I can do this, but I really want to play!!!" But fired up my stream, set everything up and off we went.

Boy was I wrong.

I must say casting that first game, and big thanks to SatuSPR for helping me with my first time! (It was very precious to me ) It was the best experience ive had, even more so than playing the game itself. I could feel the excitement in game, and got excitied all the time at the most subtle things that youll probably not notice!

+2 attack being researched?

Drop in your base?

A scout get killed because the terran wall went up just in time?

Yep all of these got me going!

This brings me to the CW between nRv and Eve. Which I mostly casted SOLO.... Thought oh $^%& (language filter :P) How the hell will I do this. And you know, I enjoyed it even more again!!!!

So I would like to say guys thanks to Nerve for getting me into casting, I love it and has finally turned starcraft from a hobby into a passion of mine. Thanks to everyone watching the stream, sharing my excitement, ups and downs. Thanks to the players for giving me such awesome matches to cast!! Thanks for saying I have a sexy voice !!! And definately thanks to the person who tried to pick me up on streamchat :P .

So here is where I ask you guys, come watch me spread my passion. I will be casting all the clan matches between Nerve and all the SEA guys and would love to be able to cast anything else you guys want me to!!!! So follow me on twitter at nRvFlamga and follow me at my current stream at www.twitch.tv/flamga and tune in for some sexy sounding starcraft goodness!!

PS. Thanks for reading my wall of text but I thought it was about time I posted this :P, even waited till the morning rather than be inconsiderate and do it late night right after and not make sense :P

Yeah, I have thought streaming would be fun and have downloaded xsplit and had a small play but my interent isnt fast enought to cast.

I feel you enthusiasm and its good to see you have found something you can pour your love into.

Starcarft for life!

I too share your stimulation from +2 weapons, sc2 can never be a successful e-sport without passion and its good to see casters who embellish these emotions
