Before I get started I would like to describe a little about myself. I am an amateur designer that works and contracts under the pen-name, Golden Darkness. In game Name for Starcraft 2 is Evangeline. I've been actively gaming for many years and have experienced all types of games be it MMORPG, RTS, Strategies, Indie, FPS to just name a few. Watching casters like Day[9], TotalBiscuit and HuskyStarcraft. I've been striving and inspired by them to contribute to the esport world much like them.

So the first thing to create a daily show much like Day[9] however it will contain entry-level to mid-level commentary while discussing how any one can become a hero. My main objective is to look at the fine details psychologically that help motivates a player to get into the game. Be it to simply have fun or looking to smash the souls of neutral life forms on Starcraft 2. The daily will also focus on addressing on most common issues in bronze to plat and will work to encourage low level players get their game play up to something suitable to their liking.High ranking player will be able to get some useful ideas out of the theoretical part of the daily and all are welcome to join in the random shenanigans that will pop during the cast.

Something to look forward to in this cast will be potential co-casting of games with the ever so popular legendary commentators like Day[9] or Husky if the popularity of this show ever reaches near their level.

So without a further ado, I will be using this blog to post daily guides and tips until I have everything set up for an actual live cast.

Awesome! First thing is first you may want to play a lot of random and study tons of each race (I have no idea what league you play at) so you can give correct info to everyone. It will also take a lot of dedicaiton to do a daily every single day. I personally love the idea of helping newer players but please don't make another "so you never played starcraft 2 before?" video. About 1,000,000 of them are out there. With that being said I can't wait!

Right I knew I forgot to mention something important, ah well thanks a million for the reminder. The highest point in my career was a low level master level rank 64 during season 4. Of course my ranked disappeared as my final year of University was comming up and it took a bit too much time to juggle the two. I play around with all races but when I ladder I mainly play Zerg. I did not forget about my love for Starcraft 2, and I made sure to watch different cast and read up on team forums like this one at least 5 times a week to keep up with the meta game.

About the show, yeah I understand the dedication it would take, and i'm definitely up for the challenge. Seeing so many different people around the world show their love in a game regardless of the language is just simply inspiring. My approach to the daily will be about motivation, theories, sometimes even random shinenagans, and those little tips and tricks that most new players and low level player want to learn but they just can't quite grasp it because there are just something written words cannot convey. Lastly to show my sincerity and dedication about maintaining a daily I will start by updating this blog daily like I said until I get the streams up and running. Mostly I'm just looking for the right hardware to give my audience the best experience possible.
