Oh yep, hello there. B-day kid blogging on Silver League. Today, I got a capoeira training, I need to talk to my spanish instructress and apply for the Intermediate 1 course, and fuck yes, it's my birthday as you can see on my logo. I was finally able to complete my interactive registration and I can officially take courses during this semester.

About Starcraft announcements:

1- It's the first time I used an imbalanced piece of shit. Even if it's the most logical thing on that condition, I still feel like ass.

2- I applied for a tournament which is hosted by ESL (fuck that) and sponsored by a Turkish gaming magazine, namely Oyungezer. Actually oyungezer has become my personal favorite, since one of its writers is a Turkish software engineer from EA Games, whom I met at my University when he came to talk and since Level has a noob terran player as a writer who whines about banelings being imba. The prize pool is 11 months of membership, winner gets 6 month membership, 2nd and 3rd places get 3 and 2 months respectively.

The reason why I applied the tournament was neither hoping to win nor the omg wtf huge prize pool. It's just that I don't want a tournament with 2 races, especially when you think that there are a lot of Terran and Protoss players in Turkey and the only Zerg player besides me is Infrawhite. Our rep BLooD plays Protoss, SuGoSU plays Protoss, Pentagram plays Terran and it's like that. So, I said "Fuck that" and I applied. Furthermore, my application is accepted. I think they know that I play Zerg. And the tournament starts on 28th of September, 13.00 for US Eastern Time and 18.00 for GMT.

3- Speaking of Turkey's reps, they are going on a match against Portugal's reps tomorrow at 18.00 according to GMT. And I think it corresponds to 13.00 of US Eastern Time Zone.
It's gonna be the old school 4 1v1s and 1 2v2.

Stream: http://www.livestream.com/tslsports

Most likely, it will be a Turkish stream.

4- I think my gameplay improved a little bit (lol, what an announcement :D)

And now, let's go to today's special, Lobo's new adventures :D.

-----------------------------

Part 10 - A New Cerebrate(*).

As Lobo develops further and further, he became a cerebrate. And, Overmind contacts to Lobo for his first quest as a cerebrate:

Overmind: And now, cerebrate. The protoss is marching towards us. And, we'll battle them with everything we have. Our freedom.. Our lives.. Our purposes.. Our pride.. Everything we have, is on the line here. And because of that, you'll have no excuses for failure. You have to destroy 3 executors along with what they have. This is your first quest as a cerebrate.
Lobo: No problem, master. Consider those protoss destroyed.

Lobo, contacted by Infrawhite after his first quest:

Infrawhite: Young one, mhm, sorry. Cerebrate, did you learn your quest?
Lobo: Yes, master. I'll face 3 executors and destroy them.
Infrawhite: What? Is this the quest you're given?
Lobo: Yes, master.
Infrawhite: OK then, cerebrate. I'm sure, you can succeed this one.
Lobo: Yes, master. I'll destroy all those executors.

After learning Lobo's quest, Infrawhite contacts to Overmind:

Infrawhite: Master, what does this mean? Why are you sending Lobo to 3 executors, knowing the fact that they have less executors than 1 third of our cerebrates?
Overmind: Are you ignoring my orders? Are you questioning them?
Infrawhite: No, master. Of course not.
Overmind: Good, cerebrate.

Lobo took the necessary equipment and took off to the Lost Temple, where he will meet the first executor.

"Allright guys, let's get started. You, morph into a drone. You drones, go get minerals for me. You, overlord. Go scout the nearest outpost. Let's see if he's there or not."

Before much time has passed, scouting probe of the executor arrived into Lobo's base.

[image loading]

"Hey, cutie. Tell your executor that I say hi."

And, just a little time after that, overlord finds out that executor is in the nearest possible outpost.

[image loading]

"Oh, hi man!"

He went pool first, instead of extractor first.

[image loading]

And, his overlord continued scouting.

[image loading]

"Hey, why are you closing your doors?! Where are your manners?!"

His overlord, went a little back and then came back, noticing the second gateway:

[image loading]

"Wow, what a noble move from the executor... 2 gate 1 pylon wall. And people still say that protoss are good mannered?"

His overlord went to the nexus, and noticed the cybernetics core going down:

[image loading]

"Oh, way to play dude! 2 gate core and you can get stalkers after 10 minutes. Nice nice..."

At the time cybernetics core is completed, zerg had a spine crawler and an expansion hatchery going down:


[image loading]

[image loading]

[image loading]

"Yeah, I know what you think. You think that you'll get stalkers and win. I'm pretty sure about that. I wouldn't be too much surprised if I see you crawl in 1 base for the whole thing."

But, protoss did not know one thing: Lobo teched and expanded pretty well:

[image loading]

[image loading]

"Come on man?! Where are your zealots? Where are your stalkers? Don't tell me that you were just mocking me."

And Lobo threw down a spire and a roach warren.

[image loading]

[image loading]

"This is gonna be a huge blast. You hear me?"

Protoss never responded. And Zerg did some valuable research:

[image loading]

[image loading]

And, Lobo got his first mutas and attacked, but that attack failed with Lobo escaping with what was left:

[image loading]

Protoss responded for the first time:

"Now, who is the boss man? Who is the fucking boss?"

Protoss counter-attacked Lobo:

[image loading]

Lobo was caught with his roaches away.

[image loading]

"I heard that you had an army, mutantface. Where is it?"

"Don't be impatient, they're on the way."

[image loading]

"You still wonder about where my army is? Oh, and another thing. Do you still ask who the boss is?"

Protoss refused to respond. Lobo sent another drone to 5 o'clock expansion, without knowing that it's an island expo:

[image loading]

Lobo tried a second muta attack, but he failed on that one too:

[image loading]

And he got an expo.

[image loading]

With his muta attacks remain unsuccessful, Lobo changed his focus, and attacked pylons instead:

[image loading]

[image loading]

But Protoss started pushing out.

[image loading]

Whereas Lobo continued to attack pylons and getting warp-gates unpowered.

[image loading]

[image loading]

[image loading]

But protoss finally arrived to Lobo's base, and counter-attacked him:

"Well, you're a brave warrior, at least."

[image loading]

Lobo reinforced his troops in his base and prevailed the counter-attack.

[image loading]

[image loading]

He then attacked protoss pylons again:

[image loading]

[image loading]

After that, he made one last attack and won the battle:

[image loading]

[image loading]

"Master, do you copy that? If yes, send me the next one." says Lobo, with his most confident voice.

And yet, his next quest was on Metalopolis.

And, his new quest started with an extractor first and pool second.

[image loading]

[image loading]

While trying to scout his enemy, his overlord was killed.

[image loading]

But well, it's about time for an expo for Lobo.

[image loading]

And also the spire.

[image loading]

At last, Lobo get his trump cards, Mutalisks, he attacked protoss' expansion but was chased away by stalkers.

[image loading]

[image loading]

But he just returns with more mutas and intercepts the first colossus that protoss produces:

[image loading]

[image loading]

Protoss responds with a rage attack. But that attack gets intercepted as well by roaches and mutas:

[image loading]

[image loading]

[image loading]

As the attack is intercepted, it was a good time to expand and also a good time to counter-attack to keep protoss in base while expanding:

[image loading]

[image loading]

But the counter-attack dealt just too much damage to protoss.

[image loading]

[image loading]

[image loading]

Protoss, after going down to 1 base, surrendered immediately and unconditionally.

[image loading]

"Bring it. The next one."

And they brought it. It was on Steppes of War. Overmind expected Lobo to do his standart, but Lobo had other plans:

Overmind: Larva, morph into a drone!
Lobo: No, larva. Stay calm.
Overmind: What are you saying?
Lobo: Sorry, master. But if you want your plans to be executed, get some equipment and battle an executor.

[image loading]

Yes, a 6pool.

Overmind: You're going to suck hard. Because a scout probe is incoming.


[image loading]

[image loading]

Lobo: Relax. You were the one who said that zealots are produced slower. He's defenseless on this area to this strategy. He has nothing to do even if I tell him about it.

[image loading]

Lobo: See, I'm already on my way. I think he still has nothing to do against me.

And Lobo was just right:

[image loading]

[image loading]

Overmind: Hell nice!

[image loading]

[image loading]

Overmind: Good, now finish his remaining probes and nexus!

[image loading]

[image loading]

Another immediate and unconditional surrender from another executor. Lobo is 3-0 against Protoss now.

[image loading]

Overmind: Impressive, cerebrate. You could handle the quest flawlessly.
Lobo: Thanks, master.

Overmind contacted Infrawhite after that:

Infrawhite: Wow, Lobo is impressive. So impressive.
Overmind: Yes, cerebrate. I'm doubting if we can handle him after some time. He may even turn against us.
Infrawhite: I know, master. But I don't know what to do then.
Overmind: Me either.

"So, it was this easy to complete the first quest? I doubt that Protoss is a worthy enemy for the swarm."

---------------------------

I have fucking difficulties with uploading my replays to sc2replayed. I'll upload my replays as soon as I find another site for it. But now, I have to go to school.

Well done! I couldn't enjoy the images because they're being strange for me right now (doesn't mean that they're not working, just not properly for me right now ).

3-0, lets see how long till you hit Gold!

@DreamScaR: First, thank you for your good wishes about my birthday, which was in previous blogs. I don't think it will be that short and that long either, because I don't mass games and silver players for now didn't look like they are in a good shape. And until another patch comes, I'll 6pool every protoss on steppes of war 6pool.

I think I can upload my replays to replayers or another site like that, and will do that when I get home. Now I'm in the school PC lab with a double digit dpi mouse and a wooden keyboard with fucked up keys.

And another thing, I cut my whole beard because a noob barber got into there and fucked it up. Fuck that barber. I had a very good beard and now I have to grow it again! He turned my bear into Papa Bear's beard with highly asymmetric shape and I said "Fuck you noob, just cut it and let me gtfo of this place and never come back.".

What I'm mostly thinking about now is how well will I do in that tournament and if it's gonna be streamed or not. Those are my focuses right now.

I feel fucking sleepy now and I even have a capoeira training, so that's gonna be a little difficult for me. Get some coffee, go to training, perform well, etc etc. Then I'll come home, cut a cake, open presents and mass some games. And blog again. I'm planning to get to gold before the end of the next week.

And I don't know if you will believe me or not, but I won a whopping 90 points in last 2 games. 44 from metalopolis and 46 from steppes.

LOL ! :D:D:D Infrawhite happens to be one of my mates from my department in the university and my battle.net friends. But in this blog, I'm on the spotlight. So, Infrawhite won't last that long. At least in the story.

This blog took about 2 hours. Having 10 parts and an interloud makes it something like 20 hours or so.

And thanks :D
