EPTSo 16hour 30mins of travel from the time I left Calgary, Alberta Canada. I landed in Poland and was amazed by the size of the city. I thought Warsaw was a lot smaller than it actually is. The airport was pretty confusing when I landed and I got lost several times before I found my way to find my luggage and meet up with Oliver, The manager. After the introductions we made our way to the nice Mercedes Benz van they have to drive the players around in. I wasen't expecting it but Poland is a fast city lol. It's like a street race against everyone. At first I thought it was legal, until we got a ticket today going to the store but that is a story for another vlog. Everyone speeds. It's insane haha. So we make it to the house okay and I get the royal tour. The pictures posted online are nothing compaired to the actual house. The practice facility is amazing. All the lights in bathrooms and hallways are motion sensored. They cook all our food and clean it all up. Our laundry is done. We have a fricken redbull fridge! So by the time I leave here I'm going to forget how to cook, do laundry, clean dishes, and turn on and off lights.
The practice itself is insane. Our schedule is wake up at 9:00 am to breakfast. from 9:30 to 2:00 pm we do custom games with practice partners, Go over builds, watch replays/vods. Generally improve. We eat lunch at 2:00 and are given a 1 hour break afterwards. I use this time to work out, shower, check facebook, blog, stare at a wall. etc. After our break we practice from 3:30 to 7. Eat dinner and then we can finish practice then but none of us do. Most of us stay up and ladder/stream to 1:00 am. During the morning sessions Matiz works really hard coaching us, finding us builds, watching Vods for us, Going over replays, Finding us practice partners. He's an amazing coach and I have improved a lot because of him. Oliver and the staff have made practising very easy. They take care of everything! It's awesome.
The best part so far of my week here was watching Snute win the IPL qualifier. His games were amazing to watch. The emotion when he won was intense. He was super happy. Everyone was, It was a good day. Him winning made me want to practice more and improve. It was pretty inspirational to see.
Ontop of that I want to show you an email my dad sent me today. It's pretty personal but I think he's worth mentioning. He's the reason I have an opportunity to do what I love. He's the reason I'm in Poland right now, He's the best father I could have ever wished to have. He's so supportive it's insane.

Matty,
How’s stuff buddy? I’ve got to get used to checking Skype again ‘cuz both you and Carmen are on there now although Carmen’s here until June 9th and she already bought her round trip ticket back here again and she flies in the same day you do, August 29th. Yer old man’s gonna’ throw one wing-ding of a party that day!
I’ll get Jay to help out so there are lots of creepy little punks there that you know too…haha! Maybe I’ll get the pool cleaned up and heated just for yer coming home party. Whaddayathink? We’ll get the cops called on us fer sure that night.
I sold Johnny MacPhlail that Traverse he was looking for and made a few bucks to try and afford my youngest sons crazy lifestyle! I’m gonna’ take the Ford off Kijiji for a while and try again in a week or so to see if I have any luck. Nothing better than $1,000 for your bike so far so maybe that’s the best we’ll do. I’d like to sell it to Mikey if we gotta’ let it go for that money. I guess it is kinda’ rough though isn’t it? We’ll see on that too!
I noticed that “Snute” won the IPL EU qualifier. Is he in your house or on your team? Pretty soon that’s gonna’ be you! Don’t wish it, count on it! 90 days with that group is gonna’ have you in Primo shape for that sorta’ stuff! You’ve got an old fart back in Calgary rootin’ for you all the way so how can you loose? Seriously though, if you stick with the program those guys have you on you’ll be winning more games more often and not even need that old guy in Calgary any more! 
Hehe!...then the old guy will be chasin’ you around tryin’ to weasel in on yer winnings. He might be old but he’s not stupid!
Remember that day out at Severn’s Dam when we just decided you should seriously think about turning pro? I don’t know if it was because we realized you weren’t gonna’ make it as a fisherman or if we just got too drunk to think straight but I’m sure glad you’re chasin’ yer dream buddy ‘cuz it’s not something that everybody realizes they should do (your Dad included! I hope this puts you on a path to serious success with gaming!
Anyways you, I just thought I’d drop you a line ‘cuz I miss you and I’m proud of you!
Talk to you soon, eh?
Love, Dad
