I'm a 16 year old Grandmaster Terran player on It's GoSu eSports. I went to four MLGs in 2011 and also qualified for/played in IEM New York 2011.

I'm considering getting a mechanical keyboard, so if you have experience with them, do you have any advice for getting one? | ||

Cool ;o I got 206 when I took it last year, so SAT should hopefully be even better (even though it is longer/a little more involved but I'm really not worried about that). | ||

I go to a very high-achieving high school with like 99% of people going to a 4-year college right after HS, so I kinda feel like it would be a waste of time to go to a prestigious/difficult HS (college admissions officers in the northeast at least recognize it right away) if I were to just go to community college. Yeah  of course realize that there's a big IF in front of what I said: "If you don't know what you want to go to college for"If that's not a problem then ignore what I said! | ||

I currently use a Razer Blackwidow. I really like it a lot - blue/brown mechanical switches are both fantastic for me. Honestly, I don't think keyboard to keyboard is all that much different - the switch types and key layout is what you're more interested in. (For example, I hate keyboard with an extra-large enter key like SteelSeries keyboards, etc.) If you can try a couple switch types and see what you like that would be optimal, but anything with browns is imo a pretty safe choice. | ||

My school is 7th grade through 12th grade, and 8th grade does go on our HS transcript/counts for GPA. This semester it's probably around that / slightly lower, mid-high 80s. The goal is to finish at 90ish, but I'm not sure if that will happen. That's weird. In Canada all they really give a shit about are your grade 12 marks. | ||

I've got a general idea; but I'm not really sure. If I didn't know what I wanted to do I'd probably take a year off instead of going to community college though. | ||

Grade 12 is more important for AP classes (for college class credits) / doing whatever else you want to have a head start in college. Junior year / 11th grade is by far the most important and hardest (my current grade). Especially 2nd half of 12th grade people fuck around a lot, as long as you pass classes doesn't matter much. | ||

Yeah I was gonna get browns, I'm considering the Das Silent Professional model. Well, my comp sci class is over, so I'm outta here. Thanks for the AMA, it was fun reading about you! | ||

I'm going to jump in just in case this info helps (I've studied a lot about keyboards and own two filco's with cherry MX Browns). The easiest way to get a FILCO is wait for them to be in stock on amazon (a lot of searching etc). You can get Cherry mechanicals in the US from DasKeyboard or the Leopolds from EliteKeyboards. You can find everything you every wanted to know about mechanical keyboards on GeekHack For example: The Mechanical Keyboard Guide The Cherry MX Switch Wiki page | ||

Also, why did you chose terran over protoss or zerg and why? Do you ever wish you'd tried out the other races instead? | ||

I have very limited practice time and want to make effecient use of it, and I don't know weather I'm at that stage yet. Also, why did you chose terran over protoss or zerg and why? Do you ever wish you'd tried out the other races instead? The only time I watch games is when I'm learning a new build. For other things I mostly discuss with people / yell at teammates with questions. I dunno, I got where I am 99% through just gameplay and talking with players. I chose Terran because I played it in BW, really.. I played random for 2 weeks in beta and was best at Terran. I think I would enjoy both of the other races more than Terran, but I don't really have the time to get good at them. | ||

So I am free for three hours instead. | ||
