I have this really strange ritual on Saturday mornings. I somehow manage to peel myself off the bed early in the morning in order to...

Wait, let's start at the beginning.

I have this weird ritual on Friday nights where I like to hang out with friends and get plastered. We dance and sing and have a merry fucking time, inevitably drinking an unreasonably large amount of alcohol. We also stay up into the wee hours of the night, doing fun and often irresponsible things.

The problem here is Starcraft. I love Starcraft, and I enjoy pretending I'm competitive at it. I've participated in God knows how many TL Opens, but I've never made it past the first round. This I like to attribute to my Friday night ritual.

So I'm peeling myself out of my bed at 9:30 am, extremely hungover, in order to get creamed in my first match. Every time. What the hell is wrong with me!?

Is it the love for Starcraft? Is it me being dumb?

This is the drunkest blog post I've posted, that counts for points.

Anyway anyway. I'm somehow awake and ready, extremely hungover, a little drunk, and excited as ever. I'm going to play my match. I'm probably going to lose in the first round, like I have every time. Then, I will repeat next week.

<3 Starcraft.

No shame to be had imo, although that's probably because I can be the same way. 13k posts doesn't just accumulate when you check in to the site only once or twice a day, I love TL too much :/

I think not toning it back the night before the tl opens just means that's how you have your priorities set up... it's more important for you to get plastered with your friends until the wee hours of the morning then it is to compete well in the tl open... I won't judge you for that.

I think it makes more sense to win the TL open and then go out and get drunk the night of. o.o;

he might be from russia! llolololo jks jks. But yeah, if I was plastered the night before, I would not even bother waking up to play my match because it would just be a terrible and pointless thing to do by then

I practiced all week and woke up early to play, got 6 pooled in my first game and lost because i scouted last.

But then my TL team shirt came so all was well.
