I'm not really much of a blogger normally so try and bear with me here...

Last fall was my first semester at college, and at first I really enjoyed it, but as time went on I lost my motivation and became fairly anti-social. But, the one thing that I always had to fall back on was Starcraft 2, Team Liquid, and of course the newly formed GSL. I always stayed up to date with it and even though I myself am pretty bad by TL standards I still love everything about the game and the scene. I have always felt like I wanted to do something involving e-sports since I picked up my copy of SC2. But, this morning I became truly inspired. It happened after our hero TLAF-Liquid'Jinro beat a very strong oGsEnsare. The moment the camera cut to Jinro and he jumped up out of his seat was one of the most inspiring moments I've seen in the past couple of years. There was something about seeing a man who had devoted all his time and completely busted his ass to get where he was, and finally seeing such a nice guy succeed and get what he had deserved and worked for for so long. Maybe its the lack of emotion we see from the Koreans, but seeing how happy Jinro was made me all that more happier for him. So what I guess I'm trying to say is Thank You Jinro for inspiring us all and good luck in RO16!!! JINRO FIGHTING!!!!!

Jinro da man! :D

And, yes- Starcraft tends to be somewhat detrimental to your social life, be careful!

It's great to be inspired. Use that inspiration to uninstall SC2 and live 100 percent in the college world, because it's 4+ years you'll never get back and you don't want to fuck it up.

Totally serious btw, you can always come back to starcraft, and still tune into the occasional semis/finals and check TL occasionally. But you really can't let it affect such an important year.

some of the worst advice ive ever heard. quitting starcraft for the grades is a kin to quitting masturbation for god. just leave those higher powers alone and do what feels good.

I would disagree, but my brother did just that and now he is working at the HQ of Google while I'm scratching my balls, watching some more starcrafts.
