EPTHey all, long time no blog, I know, been kinda busy and whenever I got around to trying to write a blog, I just didn't know what to write so it went longer than I wanted to.
But here I am, back at my keyboard, ready to share my experiences with you, so grab some snacks, get your favorite pet to join in and get ready for some blog action.
First off:
B.NET 2.0 IS SLOW AS HELL
, thanks, just needed to vent it. Now to the real stuff. Last Thursday I went to dreamhack, the huge LAN in Jönköping, Sweden. Most of you probably know about it because of the awesome sc2 tournament they had(shoutout to naama, maybe you finally get the respect you deserve after your win! 
)So yeah, fun fact: I've never been at a LAN and played so little before. I think during the entire event I played like 5 hours or so, the rest was filled of watching starcraft 2, talking to cool people and doing stuff at the cool booths! Dreamhack was awesome, and I would deffo go there again! (I live quite a bit away tho, long drive.)
The weather was horrible, so the drive there and home was quite the adventure too. My favorite things about dreamhack was meeting Day[9](MAD props to Sean for taking so much time with his fans, being überfriendly and exactly the same person irl as he is on the stream.) and watching sc2 live in the dreamarena. It was absolutely electric in there, I heard a lot of people who watched the stream thinks it was a pretty fail event. I dunno why tho, all I know is that it was amazing, probably mostly because I was there live tho!
I also played LucifroN at DH(he picked random), sadly he pwned me with some insane stalker micro, since I went too heavy on marines in the start. Wish I could have given him a better game!
Telia promised that we could play madfrog in their booth, but something happened and he never showed up, so sadly that didn't happen. Heres a picture of me standing next to the greatest man on earth lol! (I'm the guy to the right of sean, big smile :D)

Guessing the guy in front is gonna get the most attention rofl!
I wanna do something fun with this part of the blog, so I thought I could share an awesome video that I found quite a while ago, but still look back at sometimes, cause I just find it so cool! :D
Ladder:
This probably is the ultimate display of my progress, and probably is the most interesting to you, so let me show you my progress a bit!
Rating before starting my project: 1129
Rating after the first 2 days: 1379
Rating now: 1864
I think the progress is pretty good, and I'm hoping to keep climbing in the ladder. I am aiming at going over 2k before the end of this week, hopefully that will work out!
Custom games:
Since the last blog I have been practicing quite a bit of TvP, but not much TvT. Lately I have been laddering more and playing less and less custom games. TvP still is a bit of a mystery for me, lately I'm trying out Naamas slowpush style, which feels pretty good but it isn't really my kind of playstyle. It's still good to have to, I don't wanna become a onetrickpony.
ATM, I'm using custom games mainly to try out new builds. I try to make my own builds as much as possible, but currently in TvP I'm just feeling so hopeless, and I'm looking a lot at replays and I'm trying to learn the MU. I feel like it isn't all that much of a problem with the BO's tho, more a problem with me doing stupid misstakes.
I want to give a big thank you to all the people who read my blog and messaged me, giving me the chance to practice with really good people, it have really helped me evolve.
I also want to thank all the other people that I have practiced with.
I am always interested in practicing with people, so please do message me on SunTzu.438 !
Replays:
This time, I give you only a few, but entertaining games.
Next week and forward I'm gonna give you replay packs that are MU specific, starting with TvZ.

there you go, hope you enjoy! Feedback is appreciated!
Sadly I can't stream, since my connection won't allow it.
I want to finish off by asking for tips on good Terran player streams?
