Hell yeah TL.net, I'm officially back in business right now, after 30 days of a vacation in Disneyland. This blog will be about what i've done in disneyland, again just like my other return-from-disneyland blogs.

Well, this time it was 30 days instead of 2. That was pretty much of a long time, which was about not-much-of-a-mass gaming, capoeira and other stuff that I'll be telling in this one. But, this blog will be in 2 sections: What I've done in disneyland, what has happened during the time i was in disneyland.

What I've done:

Well, this is pretty much of a good story. So, let's begin.

1- My classes have started: Yeah, I'm back in school, and things are going intense this term. I was an epic fail for the past 2 terms and now I need to recover my educational life. So, I rarely miss classes since the beginning of this term, and I've been taking notes as well! I have never done such things in previous years. So, this is a fresh start for me.

2- Capoeira: When it comes to this, I am Lobo and I never miss a training (some kind of meme in Turkish, you can watch the commercial in the video below).



And, I missed the last training because I had a cold.

3- CCNA: That's right, I'm also studying for CCNA now. Field of network was always tempting me, but I had no chance to do something about it. And now I have and I'm gonna do it.

4- Girl issues: Oh baby, this is the most sensitive thing in my life, it always was, it is, and it will be. This time, it's mission impossible because the girl is my lab assistant. I like her eversince I saw her for the first time. She is sweet, beautiful and nice; but well, you know murphy's law on girls: Beauty x Brains x Availability = Constant. When we're talking about that girl, first 2 are huge in terms of numbers. Third one, well she has no relationship right now. She is 4 years older than me (o.o) and well, that's it about her.

But only once in my lifetime, I'm gonna act carefully. She is right now for my eyes only and this fact won't (be able to) change before this term ends (well, at the last time I fell in love, my school went downfall. And this girl is much more capable than the last one in terms of making my school life go downfall and it's just a matter of seconds for her if she wants to). But, there is something else with this girl, something that turns me on more and more. So i just don't have an idea about what to do.

5- Gaming: From Starcraft 2 to Minesweeper, I like playing games and I play a lot (I got over 9000 games in easiest difficulty of Minesweeper). In Starcraft, I went from 39th to 12th in my division, btw I'm still in the silver league. I didn't mass too much of SC2 at disneyland. I played more Diablo 2, some WC3, some BW and some Dota. Recently, I slept over at my friend's house and we did mass 2v2s. We did an overwhelming 4-1 in placement matches after losing the first one, but we're still in Silver (WTF) and we are 16-15 right now (pretty even).

6- Lurking TL: Well, 30 days of constantly being redirected to Disneyland and unable to write any single letter. Those patch discussions made me crazy and I couldn't write a single word on them.

What has happened while I was away:

1- MVP vs Zenio:

+ Show Spoiler +
Zenio getting down MVP from 1-0. Wow. The guy who inspired me to do baneling bust on CCs and nexii. Roach drops on the workerline, what a baller man, this is why I like to play.


2- KT vs SKT1:

+ Show Spoiler +
I can never have enough of pro BW action. But this one was in fucking sane. KT was ahead by 3-1. SKT lost Fantasy. In the best condition, SKT needed to beat Flash in ace match. 5th game, (P)Bisu vs (T)fOrGG. Until that game, Bisu had 0 wins against fOrGG. Bisu's vT matchup was pretty much sloppy. And there is worse. Even if he wins, next game would be probably Best vs a ZvP sniper. So, odds were against SKT as much as they may be. But, Bisu prevented fOrGG's timing pushes, game went back and forth, but after Bisu stabilized, he even stopped microing and went on with macro only and won it, 3-2. After that, BeSt played against HoeJJa, a ZvP sniper. BeSt's vZ was not in a good shape, and he was playing against one of the worst players that he could play that day. But he won that one as well. And it was the ace match. Flash against one of BFB (BigFuckingBalls or BisuFantasyBeSt, decide it ) It was decided, BeSt was to play against bonjwa. Flash, just like every other lousy Terran, turtled in his bases, trying to get his 200/200 3-3 army, but BeSt, had some other plans. He got 3 bases, macroed up and just roflstomped the "bonjwa". I wish I wasn't banned and so I could bet the guy on LR thread and read his 400 word essay on how Flash is a fakeass phony bonjwa and his style is fucking boring :D anyway, good game.


3- SKT1 vs Woongjin Stars:

+ Show Spoiler +
YES YES AND HELL FUCKING YES!!! That's the game I'm talking about. Bisu, Best, Fantasy, Free, Zero, Soulkey all packed together. On that game, I realized that Soulkey is a fucking monster, even after he lost the ace match. I want to watch that guy on SKT1. No matter what.


4- GSL Ro32 Day3:

+ Show Spoiler +
What a day for Zerg players. IdrA won his game, CheckPrime won his game, Zenio won his game, Terious lost, but well, if it was Zergs 4-0 other races, people would just rage qq all the way.


5- Patch 1.12:

Hahahahaha, patch reactions from Turkish communities was beyond perfect :D people were just qq'ing all the way like crazy mofo. I was just trying to give answers to all these idiots who were just qq'ing.

QQ: "Terran's all strategies have been fucked up, we need to find new strategies"
Me: "If all of your strategies consisted of 10 rax reaper into mass bio, yes"

QQ: "They nerfed reapers again, they put supply depot requirement for rax, but still no nerf on banelings and they even increase the life of zerg buildings"
Me: "You're so fucking right, nerfing zerg's only counter to Terran mass bio and Ultralisk Cavern having 600 HP in a game where supply depots had 400 made so much sense".

QQ: "We need to stop playing terran and learn the ezpz zerg"
Me: "Did you play Terran because it was ezpz back then? If yes, switch to zerg and see which race is ezpz".

Actually i'm like 10-1 or 10-2 against Terran post patch, but well, if a zerg has twice as much banelings as terran's marines, it's gg every game, isn't it?

6- ESL Ladders and Go4SC2 cups:

As I have an ESL account, I joined ESL tournaments left and right, played on ESL ladders, I was ranked 1024th in Go4SC2 cups #45 and #47 (if i remember correctly), so it's fine for now. I didn't join the #49 but I plan to join #51. Wish me good luck

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

ANOTHER ISSUE:

I'm actually looking for practice partners from any league, any race, any skill level etc. The only requirement is that my partner should have an account in EU server (it's because I have no accounts on US, SEA or KR servers). Anyone who wants to play with me, just add LoboMuzenza.119 and say that you're from TL.net. I can play anytime and also will surely post the games on my future blogs.

So, that's it, I'm back TL :D

If you have an EU account, YES. That practice partner thing is not only for me, it's for other people as well (as long as they want to practice with a silver league player).

I too share your love of minesweeper. I'm a bit of an intermediate whore. My current best for it is 22 secs. My expert is at 88 secs. The eventual goal is to have intermediate, expert and beginner all add up to less than 100.

Goodluck with your sc2 journey.

Actually they were right on that part, but moreso because of roach change than anything else. It basically made every standardized build unsafe and unsolid. (If those are words, lol)

@gillon: Roach +1 range is not that much of a big deal in ZvT. Especially when you compare it with supply depot requirement, and that's a big deal. Now Zs can Hatch-first in vTs without scouting and being afraid of 10 rax reaper into mass bio idiocy. But still, Ts can intercept hatch-first builds quite well (especially on maps like delta quadrant). So, except the strategies which are equivalents of BBS in SC2, everything is pretty much same. But the closest was that one.

@Wolf: Talk about my patch statements after playing 10 ZvTs against 10 rax reaper into mass bio and 10 ZvPs against 1 base 4 warpgate allin. And in a Turkish community website and a Turkish gaming magazine, people can still whine about banelings.

Another thing, Turkey's national win rate decreased by %85 after the patch, thanks to all those bronze terrans who have had 0 wins since 1.12 (fictional, but may have some reality in it).

@Meapak_Ziphh: I missed you guys too, 30 days is just too much (for insulting the lead producer of SC2 because he plays Terran).. I wouldn't say a word for 15 days or something like that (because it was not my first ban on that topic) but 30 looks a bit much.

No offence, but you're in Silver league. I don't think you even dealt with well-executed reaper timings...

Yes, and that's the point. Even those poor-executed reaper timing pushes were able to take me down before 1.12 and I had no single chance to respond that without sacing some eco. But 5 reapers were enough to intercept all types of early play, like ling counters or things like that, and without going straight roach after pool and getting 0 zerglings, roaches were never on time.
