I remember buying my first StarCraft game way back when... maybe when I was only a child. I remember growing up around a lot of people who played a lot... being that I'm Korean. I remember Brood War being the coolest thing ever. I remember being beat... a lot. I also remember winning a lot. I remember picking up StarCraft 2 at my local GameStop when it first released on July 27th of 2010. I even remember receiving the beta invitation and flipping out... I remember when roaches only cost 1 supply. HAHAHA. Oh gosh... good days...

But a new time has come, and the people of Blizzard has given us a new opportunity.

Season 1 of StarCraft 2 is long gone.
I've only played 238 games total, and I've managed to get diamonds on 2v2, 3v3, 4v4 ladders... and only a plat 1v1. I should've and could've played so much more... and I definitely feel as though I could've worked my way to Masters with just a little bit of effort. But I didn't. I know this may sound completely bogus to the ignorant people who may judge me, but I guess I was... compromising myself. In other words... I was a coward. Coward in a lot of things really... including things in my personal/social life.

But Blizzard has just reset the ladders. Season 2 is here.

To live in time... means to live in a constant process of change, whether it be good or bad.

Here's a toast to Season 2, ladies and gentlemen.
And as for me, here's a toast to... what you may call... a Season 2 of my own life.

If you're on FaceBook, please check out GSU Collegiate StarCraft page. I hope to coordinate a Georgia State University team for the CSL soon. I've been trying to gather a team since Collegiate Star League first started... but no one wants to play with me. ==; If you attend GSU please let me know if you want to play!

AHHHH.

Today's a new day.

Fred "Gravity" Kim. CSL player for GSU. Student of Music and Film, and avid gamer. Faith, hope, wisdom, and love.

It doesn't matter what's the trigger but sometimes people need something to make them jump two steps at once instead of only one. If SC2 makes you want to change your life for better don't forget to send a mail to Blizzard thanking them for making a great game

Cheers!

Congrats on the new outlook. Don't beat yourself up too much about the past. It rarely bears much fruit.

I'm also excited about the new season as I've chosen this time to get more serious about playing SC2.
