I really liked reading the lengthy post and I especially loved the insight into the self-portrayal of a progamer. I must say that although I had definitely heard your name, I have never really turned attention towards you as a player (as I am a casual sc2 watcher, mostly focused on the korean scene). But an emotionally written blog post such as this will most definetly make me cheer for you the next time I see you play.

Although this most most probably wasn't written with public relations in mind, I think blog posting should be a more often used tool for pros to make themselves known and really make an unique identity for themselves. There are a lot of players out there who often don't get noticed unless they make miracle runs or manage to beat flashy favourites. And a self-analyitcal essay or a blog post can give even more insight to a player than an interview can.

Albeit not as common, it can be spelled "hybris" as well.

Fantastic blog! I wish there was a bigger scene here in Umeå, don't even think the local PC Cafe got SC2 installed.

All in all I hope 2012 has even more awesome things in store for e-sports and SC2, and if you did manage to read through this fucking giant wall of text, I hope you found some of it worth reading.


More than worth reading thanks.

It's hybris is swedish, I think he should get away with that

Pretty sure it's hybris in every language, since that's the original greek philosopical term it was based on. It's pronounced hubris though.

Very nice blog merz!

lol wow, this was an incredible read. At least I have a model going into law school this year, hopefully I'll still have time to play now and then T_T. I think it's great that you took the initiative to do this, always have enjoyed your play, hope you stay with it!
