I am a lost soul, one with a wound that is filled with salt each and every day. I play on NA.

There is, however, light at the end of this forsaken tunnel. I have been blessed with an opportunity to move to Melbourne, Australia for law school in January. The moment I was given an offer to attend Melbourne my immediate thoughts were: The SEA Server.

I have met members of your wonderful SEA family on twitter. Duckville, ReereSC, Sunset, and Ziggy to name a few. I remember when ReereSC hit GM last season. I wanted to give him a highfive, but I could not because I am shackled by the restraints of NA. I remember watching as much of WCSAustralia as I could while reading the tweets of Sunset who had made the trip and was clearly having the time of her life. WCS-NA? When was that again?

But I still have a shard of hope. My move to Melbourne in January will bring me closer to these Esport gods and goddesses that populate the Oceanic world. No longer will I have to watch from afar. I have signed up for many HoTS beta key contests. However, any key from an NA organization will prolong my ties to the very place I am set to leave, I will not accept their petty gifts. A beta key from SC2SEA would begin my transformation and allow for me to be reborn. I will board the plane in January knowing that the key I received from you was not just a key to play Heart of the Swarm, it was instead a key to a new beginning.

Should you welcome me into your family with such a generous gift, I will dedicate my retweet button to @SC2SEA so that my spambot filled list of 225 followers will hear the good word. The news must be spread, I know I am not the only one pleading for escape.

Fast forward 18 years, there is a Legacy of the Void beta contest. I will then be able to speak of the epic memories I have of Oceanic Esports to my children. I can only hope each story begins with, "Once upon a time, SC2SEA gave me a HoTS beta key".

Today, I voted for PiG instead of Idra to go to the GSL World Championships. I was the 250th vote. Today, I became a member of the SC2SEA family.

To our future.
