A saturday afternoon, I have done my work for today, my friend has left before I went to work so there I was, not particularily feeling like playing league of legends, minecraft or warcraft III. That naturally made me skip on to mangareader.net and read some comics, watch some random streams, watching some TSL undtil I realized that I failed to build up some of the excitement I tried to build up for it.
Noonetheless I happily remembered Reality vs Jaedong @ Monte Cristo. I was instantaneously clicking the small vod thread, seeing that it was allready uploaded despite the game was played so recently. I love that thread.
As I watched the game, replied to some irritating posts on TL, wondering where the new PR is I thought; people sure cheesed on ICCup, but it was never that bad.
That made me think of how much I enjoy macro games. Playing them. Watching them. I love nearly everything about the proces of strengthening your lategame as much as possible. Now you think, hey, that guy has a protoss icon (perhaps you didnt, but thats not the point, I play ZvT, ZvP, PvZ as my matchups ~ and HT's are cute).
So I hurried and loaded Starcraft: BW. I went into my own old replays thinking "I was pretty darn bad at that time". Watching myself improve some skipping over the 200ish replays I had.
Then I randomly felt like my allready dead boredom was coming to an end. I turned on my grooveshark playlist, aww yeah time to rock some newblets. Then I logged onto ICCup but ashamed as I was I was kicked from the game; I had no launcher.
Thinking myself as too lazy to download it for the time being, I logged onto USWest, playing vs some dude who couldnt macro for the life of him but irradiated 12 hydras in 4 seconds while the vessels were retreating.
Yup, I was aware that people still hacked there but I couldnt help doing a sadface because of my futile attempt to break his little-tank-vessel-wraith turtle over 2 mains on python. I had a flashback to FBH vs Savior and decided I didnt want to wait for the BC's so I alt-q-q'ed and downloaded the ICCup launcher.
Feeling all dandy I found a D+ zerg vs my P. I was expecting to get raped. Really hard. What he did was a ling allin of 2 bases into hydraling of 2 bases even after I deflected the first all in. After that I had a ninja grin on my face which was saddened as my DT's couldnt find any expos to harass. I decided that this was boring as I 1a2a3a'd into his nat casting some storms when I felt like it (I had more HT's than he had hydras at this point).
After that both disappointment and happiness I rememberd taht TL has a chat channel, I went in there and found someone willingly to TvZ me.
The feeling of barely hanging by the skin of my teeth undtil my defiler lurk ling combo came out was a blast and I just had to play more. Which I did.
The problem with that was, it was now 1 am and there was Pl next morning. So I went to sleep.

And here I am now, wanting to write a poorly written wall of text which somehow is supposed to get more people back into BW.

Cheers people, happy sunday

Hahaha I have had that feeling of ''barely hanging by the skin of my teeth undtil my defiler lurk ling combo came out was a blast and I just had to play more. Which I did''.

I feel like ''i got this in the bag'' whenever i get to defiler tech with some crackling/lurker against MnM.(zvt)

Add qplghonsjfnsk (me) a D ranked ZvP,ZvT,TvZ'er.
For some games maybe.

I love how last night Sayle was casting some random showmatches which was totally unplanned and there were like constantly 30+ people in TL channel (with 200 people watching the stream).

That's why I get upset when people say like ICCup is completely dead or whatever. Oh well...
