This is more just to vent out what I'm currently wanting to do, and not really trying to entertain anyone, but as i've done on this account and previous accounts on TL, I enjoy writing out my plans, emotions and what not as a reminder to myself.

Today, I bought a new computer, and after not playing starcraft 2 for 10 months, I want to get back into the competitive scene. I know you guys will tell me it's to late to make a name for myself but I don't care, the only thing I feel that held me back before I quit was my lag which ultimately made me quit because ZvT was unplayable (mass lings caused my comp to crash and ultimately lost me a lan tournament when the game was younger).

However I am about to embark upon the life of a 20 year old without a job, going to school part time (easy as hell community college classes) and playing starcraft 2 10-13 hours a day like I used to. I will grind ladder, I will play small tournaments, eventually you'll be able to recognize my name as an up and coming player. And when HotS comes out, I can take full advantage of a resetting skill curve to get my name out there. Look out for me and wish me luck!

good luck... attempting to go pro is hard and never fully rewarding because nobody gives you the respect you deserve until you win a big lan
