Hello all. ;D I am a fifteen year old sc2 player, currently a Gold Toss playing on NA . I grew up playing video games, and between depression and a major sleeping disorder its one of the few things I have held onto. I played ssbb, ssbm, gh3 and pokemon 4th gen all competitively earned about a combined total of around 1k.

I started playing on the second day after release and realised a few things. One, console games graphics suck.. A lot. (I was even playing on low settings at the time.) And secondly, the game combined some of my favorite aspects of games. (Namely, strategy, competition, and general balance, as well as pretty solid graphics.) About a month later, I heard about Husky, then about TL. (Lurker for 7~ months. FTW. ;D) And eventually Day9 E>.

So for the summmer my plans are to try and challenge myself to get atleast into Diamond, if not high Diamond. (Currently 6-3 with 200 points in Gold league. I will probably start a blog/update one about this, if anyone cares?) I will be online probably 8+ hours a day this week, asides from Monday. So I would love to be able to practice some with you. ;D If not feel free to just leave a reply here or send me a PM. I plan to use my name change eventually, probably to somethingVaranice. I also play Prelate Zeratul on Sotis, and have the second highest k/d ratio onb Bunker Wars:Choices. (Chumley.527)

(This just my ladder experiences. ) My PvP seems pretty solid somehow, with winning about 75% of my ladder games, PvT is around 50/50, but I really don't know what to do if they get Ghosts or multi-pronged drops, and PvZ I am probably around 40-45%, mostly because I don't know how to deal with aggressive expanding.

Current issues I have are: Getting a third up, Using chronoboost after around 10:00, Not going mass warpgate every single game, remembering to get a proxy pylon in late games, never ever building a Collosus (I don't know the last PvT/PvZ my opponent didn't just blindly make Vikings/Corruptors for no good reason.), and scouting.

Hopefully this has sufficient content/grammer, otherwise I am terribly sorry. And if you would perfer I can edit an error if you spot it. (English is my worst class.. )

Current:


Edit: I also am a huge HuK fan. I couldn't go to MLG Columbus because I had finals the next week.. ;-; But I did watch the free live stream on Friday, and thought that Idra was playing insanely well in all of his matches.

Wow that's really impressive that you actually made money off of pokemon, I didn't know that people played it for anything other than honor nowadays. anyways, gg gl in your goals!
Have you considered the MMO-Champion forum? You are just as irrational and delusional with the right portion of nostalgic populism. By the way: The old Brood War was absolutely unplayable
