Sup playas,

I haven't made a blog post here in a while, but with all my free time this week I figured I should take this chance to at least give an end of the year update.

I didn't get to play Starcraft II much until August. Over the course of about five or six hundred games I managed to move from silver to diamond. Recently I've been bouncing all around diamond, sometimes feeling like I'm about to be demoted to platinum, sometimes like I'm on the verge of masters. Honestly I'm probably somewhere in between. That means I have a long way to go to my goal of masters.

Once I get to masters my next goal will be to improve enough that I can enter an MLG event

I am a protoss player, and my current mindset is to punish greedy players with 2 base timings and to take an economic advantage into the middle-game against any build that isn't greedy.

I often stream my ladder, although nobody watches: http://www.teamliquid.net/video/streams/MannerMan

I have a webcam and usually play rap/edm in the background. I don't talk, but maybe if I get good enough to get some followers I will use a mic.

Over break I will have a few weeks where I will be able to spend a lot of time playing. I am to have at least 1 30-game day, and at least 5 15-game days. I could conceivably play enough games over winter break to increase by total games (and skill!) by half.

A few SC2 facts about me:
Favorite player: White-Ra
Favorite unit: Stalker
Favorite building: Cannon :D

Traitor! Every protoss must respect and choose the Boss Toss as a favourite player.
Anyway, good luck on your way to master.
