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
I've been playing SC:Remastered pretty much nonstop since release (got almost 2000 games under my belt, switching from SC2 Protoss to SC:BW Terran. It's been a rough transition). I never really delved into Brood War past 2001 in any competitive sense, and I was far too young at that point to immerse myself in the full ensemble of skillsets that would eventually develop Brood War into a highly competitive and insanely technical mechanical monster of a game.

If the one true king decides to show up all of y'all are royally fucked, only ranked this low because he's a benevolent overlord who wants to keep your self confidence high

50/50 chance that this shows up for this qualifier, but if it does ranking rises

i don't expect anyone to read this or even take notice on this however I've had a really hard time lately and thought i'd type out my thoughts rather than keeping them in.
Recently i tore my ligaments in my right leg, which left me unable to work anymore for the next few months.
Up until now, i've barely made it through. Working different jobs all day, spending pay check to pay check just to cover our family expenses.
and then 2 days ago, the 15/2/2018 i had a performance and i... [Read More]
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]
DISCLAIMER - This blog is entirely not SC2 related, and is more of a personal kind of blog. If it's not your kind of thing to read about some random dude, then you can stop here
I originally posted this on my personal blog, but thought I'll just post it here too to let people who are really bored have some reading material
For the benefit of the non-Singaporeans reading this, the Individual Physical Proficiency Test (IPPT) is an annual fitness test that all Singaporean males (after they... [Read More]
With the recent amount of attention that seemed to rise in the sc2sea chat lately I thought I would like to make some friendly bets as ppl seemed to think they knew a thing or 2 about sc2.
So...
Im willing to take bets from anyone that thinks iaguz will beat me in group stages at acl brisbane, minimum $20
Deadline closes by Friday next week midnight AEST,( you're allowed to change your bets before that. )
EDIT: everyone knows iaguz is the best terran in SEA atm, he recently beat... [Read More]
Ninja lost to Pezz in a game.
Things would never be the same.
Pezz approached with the offer of a shake of the hand.
Ninja declined, he wouldn't meet Pezz's demand.
Instead he climbed down from the stage.
When you looked into his eyes, all you could see was rage.
Later that day, he could be seen in shame.
He let everyone know "Protoss is lame".
This isn't Wings of liberty, was his claim.
In Heart of the Swarm, Protoss wasn't as tame.
Was that just an excuse, or was Blizzard to... [Read More]
Hey everyone, I felt like writing this today as I was in a really depressed and sad mood because of the bad things happening to my people in the Middle-East, I just want you guys to know something that not many people know about.
My name is Gevergiz(George) Shlimon(Simon) Moghaddas(Holy/Blessed) Babeleh(of Babylon). I was born in Melbourne, Australia. My parents are immigrants from a place called Urmia, Iran. I know a lot of you guys probably think now that I'm a Persian Muslim, but in fact im... [Read More]
I've done many regretful and damaging things to the scene in the past months (specifically after the inauguration of sR), and this will serve as an apology to all that were affected and to those that I betrayed. It will also serve as a constant reminder that I made a lot of mistakes in the past few months and that I will try
A few weeks back, the glorious Chinny Chin Chin (Slayer) and myself decided to see who gets to Plat first on the most glorious of all servers, SEA (Kappa).
Today, after playing my first game after not playing for almost a week..
The glorious popcorn provider of SC2SEA had a few things to say:
I tend to get bored rather easily, and decided to create a blog where I can just post my thoughts, feelings, etc
The initial blog is about Ecko Esports, in particular how we began, financial difficulties, and much more. So if you get really bored and want to read an essay (you have been warned) feel free to do so.
I decided to use technology and make a video blog for once! I just explain what eSports stuff I've been up to over the last month and then dive into analysing a see-saw ZvT vs Iaguz from ACL Sydney.
Hopefully the analysis gives some good insights into how you should structure muta-ling runbys, counters and harass when behind against a terran opponent and unable to afford a Hive-transition.
I'll be aiming for another vlog in the week or two before IEM... [Read More]
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
Alright, Don't want to de-rail Exile 5's Interview Thread with Runamok (ANY MORE THAN IT ALREADY IS)

We often believe the more we practice a skill or technique - over and over again, many times - the better we'll get. This is not necessarily true. In fact, every time you practice a technique incorrectly, you're increasing your chances of doing it wrong again. It's easy to become very experienced at repeating the same mistakes. Practice doesn't make perfect; only perfect practice makes perfect.
