Amazing story, thanks for sharing
I look forward to what you can do in 2012 if you get the chance to play full-time.

also, the word you were looking for is visit, not visist.

oh yea, and when's the novel going to get published?

Thanks for the feedback everyone, originally I wanted to have this posted at Team-Dignitas website but I felt doing that, it'd look like something I was forced/asked to do and more of a promotional/gimmicky thing.

I left out a lot of things, I wanted this to be like a relatively short new years thing but it got out of control and I tried cutting it off more and more towards the end.

I could probably write just as much about each event separately but that would've been even more of a book (...Hayder)

Someone asked about what I'm doing 2012, full time or not, the reason I said it's still a mystery is because it is. I simply don't know yet. I want to do it, but it's not in my hands at the moment, we will have to wait and see

MLG Anaheim was a tough one looking at performance. I was more nervous than usual, because Open Bracket looked like an endless tree of Bo3s and I felt more pressured than normal because I had been flown out all the way to MLG. Flying from Sweden to Anaheim and staying there for almost one week isn't exactly cheap, and players with my merits, or lack of thereof, usually don't get a chance like that. I choked terribly vs a masters zerg named FabledIntegral in like the second or third round of the open bracket, he played a very intense ling/infestor style or ling/roach style that was still quite new at that time. And I just didn't have that much experience vs it. The harder the first game got, the more nervous I got, and I just couldn't think straight, I couldn't control well enough, and I was sweating like hell. I ended up losing the first game after a 45+ min series on Shakuras Plateu. I was badly shaken up and I got even more nervous. I picked Xel Naga because TvZ is ridiculously imbalanced there in favour of Terran, and that game ended up in a close nailbiter where none of us had resources left and I barely won due to having a more powerful army. Third game I had identified some of his early weaknesses in his build and realized he was playing extremely greedy early on and I had to punish it not to fall behind, I ended it rather quickly with a reactor hellion FE into a 3 rax/hellion bust.
