Great read, it could've went on for quite some more pages and wouldn't have become boring!

Keep on at it, merz! All the frustration aside (oh how I hate losing after lots of training even at my gold level...) it sounds like it was all worth it even when not making it into any big final stages a lot of times. Just being there, experiencing all the awesomeness live and competing with the best of the best sounds good enough for me!

I read every single word. Wow- cant believe you play sc2 and go to law school at the same time!
Thank you for this write-up. Really showed us your ups/downs. Nothing wrong with playing SC2 part-time! Always gotta plan for the future! =]

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!

In English, it's almost always written "hubris". And "I went on hybris" is a very peculiar construction!

Totally sick blog though! Thanks so much, merz!

Read though it all. It was a fantastic read, thank you.
It's so interesting to get to see how things look from the perspective of the gamers themself, as the view you often get as a fan is often clouded by the delusion that everything is a walk in the park.
Rated 5. Thank you <3
