Alright, so I figured I should post this somewhere. Where better than here?

First and foremost, in between casting and working my part time job, I'm kind of torn on free time. And I am definitively trying to open my doors by playing more LoL and DoTA here's why...

This is the main reason for me making this blog
+ Show Spoiler +
It all started with an email I sent to a guy whose contact info will remain confidential. I started it out saying, "TL;DR - I'm a foreigner that speaks Chinese and my twitch channel has 1,500 followers, I was wondering if you could help me get in on bigger events."

Unexpectedly, I got a reply from that email, "Let's talk early next week." Wednesday I got a phone call from an area code I didn't recognize and it was the guy in the email I mentioned.

He told me that I can do casting full time if I start getting in to LoL and DoTA more (of course, in Chinese). Starcraft will always have its events if I get a contract, but adding LoL and Dota will give me job security. The markets for them are bigger, and I daresay more influential in China than here (LoL especially, it's a free game, Chinese people love a game that they don't have to pay for, which is why SC2 kinda flopped in China).


I also landed myself another English casting gig - the NSL. If you can speak / read Chinese, then you can see how that went down here:
+ Show Spoiler +
http://bbs.neotv.cn/thread-986800-1-1.html
.
Only problem is, I'm looking at waking up at 3:30 in the morning several days in a row just to cast this event in English.

I'm still waiting for news about the IEM Poland TW/KR Qualifiers. It's driving me up a wall, we rescheduled the event even though I had time of for the original event when it was originally supposed to be streamed. This was so that I wouldn't have to ask for time off from my day job, but I'm scared out of my mind and constantly checking the TL calendar, trying to figure out what date and time it starts. That's about it for now... but my closing thoughts are also below.

I found this epically surprising... If you guys look to the right side of your Teamliquid.net page, you will see that IG.MacSed is now the third best non-Korean and the best Chinese player in the world. This had me utterly astounded because of the lack of support the Chinese scene has as opposed to that of what we see from Sen. My thoughts on this below:

+ Show Spoiler +
Macsed should join Evil Geniuses. Why? I think its a fair statement to say EG is the best NA team, but also this - I was chit-chatting with EG.Suppy one day in his twitch channel and he can read, speak, and write Chinese, so assuming that Macsed doesn't speak English, Suppy can take care of any communication problems they may have.

LoL and DotA can both be alot of fun, getting into it will require you to play and read alot if you want to do it in a certain amount of time, though. Items, heroes (or champions in LoL), and whatnot is alot to learn, but great seeing you keep going!
good luck with this mate

I think I have from now until January 9th. Is that enough time for at least LoL?

if you put enough time and effort into it, yes.
Play alot of games to get a feel for the game, get to know as many champions as possible (weekly rotation will help alot with this). Learn the different item choices, which champions may be good/bad against which (try http://www.championselect.net for a basic idea on that) and watch some of the latest events to get information from their commentaries (reasons behind champion/item choices) and to get to know a little about the scene.

Damn Conana way to blow your 5000th post T_T

His stream is probably a better place for you to school him in Chinese than for you to learn Chinese.

You can do it Enders! LoL, you can pass by in play by play eZ. DotA would prolly take you a bit of learning however, mainly cuz of all the possible spell stealings, etc.

Thanks for the support guys. If you tune in to the ASL tonight, I'll be casting my favorite player of all time, Sen!

EDIT: there were only two Bo3s and they changed the format on me at the last minute. T_T
