Welcome to part 2, I'll try and edit this one and take a bit more time to write it, but honestly I just want to put my experiences down to text for you all to enjoy, or not - I don't really care.
I'm writing this in one go, no real plan just off my dome - if I forget someone I'm so sorry
So here it is... My very long blog about my time in gaming, eSports and specifically SC2. Thanks for taking the time to read, I'll go into depth and this wont be edited a great deal so it'll probably be a big wall of text.
To start off, I'll talk about my beginnings in games in general - but more specifically, RTS games.
Part 2 will probably be about my start in SC2 and eSports. Part 3 will hopefully be about what I've learnt from that and how its all come to an end with SYF and my... [Read More]
An open letter to the greater sc2sea community and sc2online...
Hello friends,
I have noticed of late, how desolate and empty this website has been. The once bustling hub of South East Asian Starcraft 2 community is reduced to streambot and the occasional tournament bracket being linked.
Obviously the community is significantly dwindling and there are less active members of the community, but I do believe there are still a larger amount of active members of this site, just NO ONE... [Read More]
Doing some research to let you nerds know who is the best.... or at least my thoughts on the top 10.
*Due to recent inactivity Blysk, is not included in the top 10 list
1) Seither - While the top three is super close. Seither is the only one of late to only really lose to the others in the top three.. While 2nd and 3rd have dropped some series vs lesser players. This edge for me gives Seither the 1st spot by a hair over enderr.
2) Enderr - Enderr has always been a very technical... [Read More]
Okay.. so Freedom thinks we are BM arseholes that wanted an advantage to win at any cost...
This doesn't sit with me so I thought I would put my thoughts to a brief blog.
The past two or three WCS qualifiers or ESL monthly cups fray guys have complained after the tournament privately to me how disappointed they felt after losing on SEA server partially due to ping issues. This disappointment continued during the Ro16 yesterday as seither lost to ender while dealing with 250+ ping plus... [Read More]

I challenge SLCN Sports to a handicap match. Both players must play with 700ms, on wobbly tables, against protoss (as Zerg), with a new keyboard, while tired and hungry, and after 'not practising' for months, with glare in their eyes & after recently switching to a new hotkey setup.
Hi friends... This is my perspective of ACL.. It was a quick weekend and I wish it went longer. But until next time, I'll leave you with my thoughts.
What a great weekend we've just had, PvP finals in a SEA tournament and some really interesting results across the tournament.
Friday Was one of the busiest days I've had at work for months. Rearranging the entire store to a new layout and lots of new stock and customer orders coming in. it was a busy day (those of you that don't know, I run... [Read More]

So these guys want to fite it out... I don't know why, I mean - Wally already embarrassed Ryan at LAN and Petrify lost a ******* map to me, how good can he be?
Bunch of people msg'd me while I had no net, saying they'd like to talk to me about future of fray.. I have new net now, get at me!!..
I'm also, opening management/media, academy team and main team applications. If you are interested, please email me ChadMann@frenetic-array.com Or ask me any questions on skype.
I'll produce some sort of post shortly for all this, but if you are interested in helping out, or applying to be part of the future of fray, please chat with me and let me know![Read More]
I'm just writing this short blog to give everyone some info on what has happened with fray. So there isn't all this Skype he-said-this chit chat going on.
TLDR, fray has had some serious issues with sponsorship, lack of management (I'm still in the process of having internet connected at my new house) and mis-understandings between members. I really need to get to Skype and sort this out, but my phone is barely able to load the program, I live in such a poor area for reception... [Read More]
I am moving house, no internet for a few weeks. Internet folks seem to think it'll be about 2 weeks..
Few people have asked me things about fray etc and anyone that needs to find me for ESL TC matches please speak to fenner or Miles, if they can't help you out then they can msg me. I'll be around when I'm at work etc but be good while I'm away
Just wanted to say, Eddie you are a ******* baller.
I know you of all people don't do this for the approval or appreciation, you legit do it for the community. But omfg you are one baller dude cranking out tournaments and boosting the SEA Scene. Much appreciated.
Everyone else, get involved in these events and make SC2SEA a busy place filled with activity!

Vote for fray in Team Razer team of the year.. Sure, you might thing Liquid is pretty cool, or EG.. but you are SEAtizens of SEA. This voting poll helps razer decided where to spend their hard earned cash. So its pretty vital that we do well. :3
I'll probably do a give-away for who ever votes with screen shot and email to me shortly, so if you vote - screen cap it!. ... [Read More]
Might be old news for some. But I'm on holidays and had some time to check through YouTube. Found this documentary on Super Smash Bro's competitive scene
The journey is soon to be documented and presented to everyone. But I can say, it was tiring and filled with difficult obstacles. I really feel for the fray team that had to spend that first night in horrid conditions (the hostel manager where we were staying had a loud party till 2-3 am Friday night (aka Saturday Morning). Many of you would have noticed how tired some of the fray boys looked over the weekend.
Other than that, I had a great time.... [Read More]
Finally paying off. Thanks to my team for all the help, I'm officially announcing with this milestone that I'll be entering SC2 now as a Competitive player and manager.
