My Trip To NASL:

This weekend was a moment in my life that was going to be fulfilling that i was going to stop at nothing to make sure i got to NASL. I live 4 hours north of toronto so it was no problem in deciding if I was going to go.

I had ordered tickets online as soon as i had heard about it and the castors had yet to be announced besides the normal castors. A few days past and when i say @day9tv tweet that said he was going to be at NASL, i was jittery for hours, this was going to be the best weekend of my life. I figured i'd get a signature say im a big fan and leave and tell myself that achieved a goal in life. So i soon as i realized on sunday that day 9 was signing (there was no signage saying who was signing you just had to ask someone who worked there every hour it seemed) I Jumped into line only to be cut off and he said he had to go home. I got a high five and watched the finals and wallowed a bit. After getting in so many lines and players stopping signing I thought I was going to cry.

I was never mad at the players or blame them or the NASL organization (although it did cross my mind!) I blamed myself for not trying hard enough to be there before everyone else , to fight for anything. At that moment during the 3rd game of stephano Vs Alicia i sat down on the ground and sent myself a message on my phone that read "Theres only one way ur gunna meet day 9".

My Pledge:
+ Show Spoiler +
I sit here in front my PC pledging that I will do all that is in my power to work as hard as i understand how (and hopefully harder) to become a good enough player to have the chance to meet Day9.

I refuse to let myself have no reason in life and will work hard to improve and go from the worst of the worst to as high as it takes to get me to meet this goal.

If anyone reads this, you can join this pledge , you can say it will never happen, but i will do whatever I can to make this possible.

If anyone wants to help in anyway including things like how to train properly , someone to talk to , someone to watch replays, not only would i appreciate it infintlly... but i may start to cry a bit haha.

I will always be in full support of any players who want to go pro and will be here to help them no matter what.


Milestones:

+ Show Spoiler +
August 31st: Top 15 Gold or Platinum (Sometimes SCII just won premote me!)

November 30th: High Platinum (Starting university so will be hard to focus on both)

January 31st: Diamond ( i assume HoTS will be out so any diamond rank will do)

April 30th: hit Masters

July 31st: High Masters & Wild Card in Tournament soon

If I do not reach any milestones in this list the others will be set back by a month






If you want to talk or play you can find me in the Channel 'GoForPro' on the NA servers
I always want to talk and meet new people =] <3

It's always good to have goals in life, if going pro (and being able to meet your rolemodels) is yours, more power to ya!
