This is a strange blog entry for me today, mainly because I want to dedicate it to those who built SC2. Many of us gamers look at a game, and just begin to point out everything wrong with it. Balance issues, maps suck, want more blah blah blah. In fact we complain a lot, but for once being on the other side, I can truly appreciate the work that goes into a game like StarCraft 2.

I have spend the last 5 days in Toronto doing some quick contracting work for my brothers Studio because they needed a functioning demo of their game (that they are releasing early 2012). We have done non-stop work, minus the odd cat nap every 18 hours. So much work we put into it, to get it running. These days have felt like they lasted over 2 weeks due to the fact I have done nothing but this. I honestly can't remember the first tasks they gave me to do, when I arrived here 5 days ago. Normally I only like talking about SC2 in this blog of mine, but I figured you all should just take some time out of your laddering sessions to really enjoy all the hard work that so many individuals put into making the E-Sports Monster that is StarCraft 2. I talk more about this kinda stuff on my other blog (http://www.djwilma.blogspot.com) and am going to do my best to keep this blog entirely devoted to SC2.

Don't forget to catch me casting the Baller Brawler Tournement this Wednesday starting at 8 PM EST, and you can still sign up for it on z33k.com, its a 25$ weekly prize pool, and always a great showing of Plat-Diamond Players. :D

Question of the post:
Should I try and get back into competitive play for SC2 ladder 3, or should I try and devote more time to my casting and stream?

granted you only have time for one and assuming that you equally enjoy both, i would probably go with casting for you. you seem like a busy guy and im not sure how good you are competitively, but casting you can do at any time for the same enjoyment every time and you can do it at your own pace. you can still improve at it but its an overall less stressful means of enjoyment. of course though, it would be awesome if you can still play while casting :D
