So I've been semi inactive for a while, spending the majority of my spare time(which is a lot) looking for a new job, exercising, eating, sleeping, playing poker and Desert Strike <3

I've been B- with two races (T&P) and I'm going to attempt to reach B rank by the end of this weekend.(TvP, TvZ, PvT) Figured it's lateish season so I should manage to do it in the time scale provided, hopefully I will not have gotten too much worse >:

I've been cutting down on cigarettes and getting high but they are still almost a daily habit so I am also going to try and quit entirely for at least 30 days to give my lungs time to rest and get my head sorted and ideally find a job.

I would go out of my mind just pokering 24/7 and I've been doing plenty of that recently so as long as nothing terrible happens to me I'm quite prepared to game pretty hard the next few days.

Who knows I might even achieve my dream (a-/a/a+) but honestly I'd be happy with just getting B- again after so much inactivity but if I can get B that will be an all time high and YES job done! B+ would be awesome but would just make me want A- so hard I might cry...

So yeah, wish me luck!

I'll post some games if I'm asked but otherwise not gonna bother it's a hassle xD


edit: AHHHH I went 4-0 on my account but ICCUP is doing this stupid thing, please tell me I'm not alone here....

I have made a LOT of accounts on ICCUP and almost ALL of them I can't sign in any more on the website.. it just says my password is straight up wrong but I KNOW that's not the case.. please someone from ICCUP read this and fix this issue or just PM me or something because I want to use my accounts again and it's obviously an error if the passwords don't work when I KNOW they are correct.

I don't really think I should continue on with this account if I can't upload complaints god damn back to square one.... I guess I'll make a new one....
Here it is: http://www.iccup.com/gamingprofile/ReasonFromTL.html

Nobody smurf me!

B is tough even for the majority of foreign active players, so good luck, you'll need it for sure.

The Brazilian Reason was not B-, try a full rank up.

it's fucking reason, the badass that took down savior in wcg 2006

That's not me man. I should have really kept my mouth shut because you just made me look like a total badass... but yeah that's not me xD

Yes LuckyFool I know I'm behind but I am unemployed and thus have to be active during the week, it's only Saturday and Sunday when I can get the real games on the go... hopefully I get C- tonight though..

I also thought you were Reason from WCG 2007 I was about to say "but dude, aren't you like A- already?"

The guy had a really good TvT against HwaSIn, so much HwaSIn got up and went to his booth to shake his hand lol.

It shouldn't take you more than two days to reach C+ if you were actually playing at B- level (i.e. not B- high). I would be very surprised if you drop more than ten games in the process. Skill level hasn't changed all that much in the past few seasons.

Grinding B- will be a real bitch =\
