It has been 6 days since I played starcraft; I have been driving thousands of kilometres, staying in crappy hostels and doing lifey stuff liek finding a place to live. And I'm done, mission accomplished. I have a new home in the tropics with air con and an internet connection, life is great once more.

But my god have I missed starcraft these last few days. As of 5 minutes ago I clicked that find match button. And the feeling was.... indescribable. The adrenaline.... omg the adrenaline. and my hands, they started moving by themselves like a pianist playing ode to the bumblebee. My brain it... just started ananlyzing every teensie bit of information with %'s of diff enemy strategies and their success rate flowing through my head.

I missed this so much. It's intense, it's overwhelming. I'm like that guy in limitless only this shit is real and won't kill you.

What's more is I wasn't as rusty as I was worried I would be. On paper, the strategy I implemented was flawless; I deflected a 2 base roach timing with ease then countered with a 7 gate. Easy peasy, but every little thing needed to be done right; the micro, the macro, the grand plan of purging cloud kingdom of the zerg swarm. This game is an extension of my mind. I am the executor, and I have returned.

Why would you live in the tropics and play starcraft? Not like you'll be wasting much time on the beaches anyways

Sounds like you are more passionate than any pro. Why are you not pro?

I find the first week is the toughest with out starcraft, but once you beat 2 weeks suddenly 6 months is nothing.
Plays against every MU with nexus first.
