During the past month, I played this 4v4 game with my friends Mint, Spartan and TAGurPrgnant.
When the map loaded up, I noticed I was in the isolated spot away from my 3 other friends. We had called it the 'bait'. Why? Well, traditionally whoever gets that spot dies first.
Mint's reaper was the first to spot our trouble... our opponent's 3 has decided... to get a lot of barracks... I mean like a whole lot of them.
She alerts us and Tag... going for his famous "I'm going to mass... [Read More]
It has been awhile since I wrote a SC2 story so sharing a game that just happened to me. Happy Reading
This is the story of a player who likes to live in other spots other than the base location allocated by Blizzard.

He decided to cannon rush me. Fortunately I spotted the first spot and managed to stop it from advancing. However, I could not save my nat. Thinking quickly I moved my probes back to the main to minimise further loss and sent my hero probe out to secure a hidden... [Read More]
This is a blog I've been waiting to make in a while.
I would like to thank everyone who believed in me and helped me in one way or another. The many #nem4gm and other encouragements etc etc.
Yes the frenzy started 3-4 weekends ago when my smurf aka alternate account was close to masters mmr. Then I failed. Only to try again the next weekend... swinging both my alternate and main account to top 3 with winning streaks only to be followed by losing ones. One word it was very tiring.... [Read More]
When I was at ACL Melbourne, I thought of many different ways to describe my experience and the people I met there.
The experience actually begun on Friday evening at MC Internet Cafe where I met some of the guys and they got to meet the rest of the family too. My kids immediately bonded with Redemption *ahem*. I will say the expert coaching advice *ahem* from Andy definitely contributed to Ed's success to make it to the groups *ahem*
Today I had an interesting 48 minutes PvT. I took 4 bases and was taking my 5th at the gold. During the course of the game I realized something interesting.
Still dont get it? Look at the probe AI pathing
Have fun ... [Read More]
Been a rough day... hmmm delayed hatch delayed pool?
After a mad drone chase denial etc etc this managed to go up
Scout probe did Chase proud... scouted the entire map as well to ensure no hiddens as well... I guess just have to ensure no nydus now.
But one moment of not looking, saw the nydus go up asdf
So I sent a small counter force to his main. I also intentionally targetted the nydus because he is not going to go home.
He sends all his drones into the nydus to... [Read More]
One fine evening... on the lovely map Vaani Research Station... there was a probe. Sent to scout around with the memory that this player might had cheesed before...
wow WOW, what's this?!!!
To battle! This evil probe obviously has evil intentions!!!
First blood!! To the disbelief of my opponent.... that should teach him not to cheese!
This probe deserves a medal and a raise!
PS: *This also ends up being my shortest legit 1v1 game ever*... [Read More]
We at have been concerned about the lack of profit from the popcorn sales operated by yours truly, the one and only,
Slayer
We investigated the mystery of why despite good popcorn sales in the past, that we were unable to afford sponsorship of BenQ monitors for our mGG peeps. Slayer then confessed that he had been secretly eating the popcorn as well!!
We discussed and decided to give him a 2nd chance.
We would like to present Slayer's new Popcorn Mobile business.
I accidentally found this... was published in Jul 2012 but when I watched it, it is truly epic and emotional and a reminder of things good, exciting and awesome in sc2
This cool game can be found under the 'arcade' section on SC2. Choose the one with the starry starry night icon. Best played with at least 5 friends and skype for giggles. I actually captured our games from the past 2 days on my stream so feel free to peek to see what it is like in game.
Last evening however, we had a full house of players (almost!)
We had some famous personalities that we attempted to guess what they represent or who on earth they are.
Sometimes it's exciting to watch the pro games e.g. GSL, IEM, ACL
and we have our competitive tournaments and friendly but competitive clanwars...
But many of us are not playing at that pro level and start to rage when we think we should be at that level or close to it if we have played a zillion games. (I mean how many people do we know say "I should be / " or rage/bm etc)
So this blog hopefully reminds us that we gotta remember to have fun too
It all starts out innocently enough... my first happy little probe off to seek adventures abroad and discover what the enemy is up to...
Wait no buildings at home? Gas?!! Oh NOES!! IT'S THE DREADED PROXY STALKERS!!!! Probe immediately sends a text back home and defences are up to seek, hunt and fend it off!!
Wait! Why no units? Pokes out.. sees the proxy gate but no units except for a stalker that killed the first scout probe (yes it died). The brave zealot bravely... [Read More]
So Zen and I are playing 2s on NA. He is ; yours truly is .
Everything seems peaceful until the 6.45min or so when a flood of lings streams into Zen's base. At that moment, 2 dts walked into their bases. The excitement! The engagements!
Peace was restored at the somewhat 8.21 mark. WHAT?! HE CALLED US DUMB?!! THIS IS WAR!!! TAKE NO PRISONERS!!
The game became more intense... ling runbys into Zen's doing heaps of damage... stalkers trying to take us on... but we held!! And... [Read More]
Anyone who wants to randomly invite another player on SC2. Ask nicely AND STOP spamming or BM-ing AND recognise that every player has the right to say no and just accept it.
Sample of one such spam invite/request :
I know some of these guys have NO HOTS and just wants someone to invite into party to play the fuller version of the game. Does not give the right to demand it.
FYI, I don't know this guy, never talked/played with him ever/not even in our group chat. Makes me wonder... [Read More]
