EPTIn my last blog I talked about myself, who I am as a player and what not so I won't go too far into that. So from this blog on thee blogs will be shorter, much more to the point and will just be an update of where I am at.
After laddering a bit as Terran, I started having thoughts about how well I did with Protoss and where I might be if I had stuck with Protoss. Then I thought the same about Zerg and realized, I like all the races and I shouldn't have to limit myself or make a decision one way or another until I've reached a level that I can't improve anymore without picking a race. Being only Master league in NA, I think I can still improve as a player in general rather than at a specific race.
So I am switching my normal ladder routine with Terran to play Random, and I will be sticking to one build per match up (obv with slight variations on different maps). I'll continue to ladder as Random until I plateau for a good while and by then from playing all the races I should have a good idea of which race I am strongest with and which play style best fits my skill set.
I did get my stream working, it runs fairly well at 720p and I coughed up the $15 to use xsplit for 3 months to see how things go. I have a couple sessions recorded from the weekend of me laddering as random on my high account (high as in I play while I'm high, ID is CaptCannabis if we ever meet on ladder we can have a fun game :D).

I'm not sure if self-promotion is allowed but my twitch link is twitch.tv/smob (if it's not ill remove it). If you guys want to play some games or have any suggestions or questions you can reach me via PM, or in-game Smob.497. I used to offer coaching and have been toying with the idea again but I want to focus on playing.
PS: I wanted to say something about all the drama here on TL lately, especially yesterday...
Remember we play games to have fun and occupy our time. While I think hacking is a terrible thing, the entire community doesn't need to freak out about a mediocre player map hacking. I think as a community we need to focus on the positive things going on like HotS coming out or the great games that have been happening in the GSTL! :D
Thanks for reading~
