Normally don't read long blogs, but it'd be a disservice to you and the SC2 community if I didn't read it. Much respect for the BitterDam combo - you guys are the reason I watch NASL.

I enjoyed reading every sentence in your voice. Quite entertaining (and, honestly, a bit moving

)

Thanks for the nice words, for the people who wonder about the tattoo. It's something I wanted for a very long time but I guess I was kinda nervous about getting my first tattoo and I also didn't wanna get it at a random shop I wouldn't know so I guess I didnt find the right time to get it and postponing was always convenient since I was a little nervous anyways

Rotterdam is my nickname but obviously not the only reason I wanted this, it is one of them of course though. All the memories gaming gave me already are unique and I will cherish forever and I'm proud of how things went as well, so being RotterdaM as gamer is cool and 1 of the reasons. 2nd is that Rotterdam is my hometown and I love it, born and raised there, and lived there till the day I started working in Germany , and even though I don't know when I come back, it will always be in my heart and I feel like a true Rotterdammer, proud of the city I come from and I love it. 3rd reason is that I'm a huge Feyenoord fan, when I was young I went to every single game, home and away, later that wasn't possible anymore but as the fans like to say " I'm Feyenoord till I die" I still watch every game and I love the fact that I love football so much, whenever I'm in the stadium I just feel so alive , the energy is amazing and the only thing I can compare it too is my passion for esports, both are amazing in their own way, in any case, Feyenoord and Rotterdam go "hand in Hand", and even though I wouldnt tattoo the Feyenoord logo on my body, this is as much of a Rotterdam tattoo as it is feyenoord. These 3 reasons were more than enough for me to be 100% sure I'd like this, and also shouldn't make it a bigger deal than it is, it's a tattoo, you better like it if you get it, well was my first and I like it :D easy as that

That was a lovely summation and excellent insight into who you are, how you got there, and where you're going Rotterdam. (Also, I've got 10 years on you. You're still "young", but at least you have your head on straight and I just know that I'll never yell at you to get off my lawn

)
Great pictures, too - I have to say that your brother is hot. (Platonically. He looks great. You could do worse for a model of just what you'll be capable of when you get fierce. I mean, that's Khaldor level muscle there.) On that note, I would love a Fierce Fitness with special guest Rotterdam.

And yes, I read the entire thing in your voice - which helped, as you have very very long sentences.

GL HF - You can do whatever you want, you've got the will and determination. (Though you aren't fat. Just not in perfect shape, maybe.)

<3 Rotti

P.S. The public transit thing, and the football thing, well... it's a different country. There's always pros and cons. But you've got great friends to help you, and that's just awesome.

Thanks toma and blade ^^ , @ felis exactly and there are lots of awesome things here which I didn't have in Europe, but of course I miss some things, but hey adventures, it's cool, and regarding my bro, he's quite a big bigger than khaldor actually :D as hes 6.4~ tall and the pic i posted is actually a year or 2 old, he's bigger and stronger these days, its pretty scary. Freaking tank. Thanks for the nice words and taking the time to read it

haha yeah I've seen his tattoo in the past and always thought it was cool, but I wanted mine before that already

quite some people in my hometown have this tattoo actually, or often Feyenoord on the left arm, and Rotterdam on the right, but i just wanted Rotterdam, for all the combined reasons i mentioned before ;p

Hey RotterdaM, just stopping by to say keep up the good casting.
You are the best caster imo, especially with that crazy dutch accent.
I remember watching you cast Warcraft3 on Gomtv with Tod (back in the days of Tasteless and SDM), and even though I've never played W3 you guys were good enough to keep me interested.

Haha thanks thundergod, and one of the main reasons I mentioned yoan is because he brought me to korea and took me in his home and gave me the opportunity to cast there. Even though over all the years its safe to say I had some small issues with tod from time to time but I will never forget what he did with me as he's a great guy and always willing to help people out if you're nice to him. Thanks for the nice words and the others too ^^ , and gl dan the man, remember no excuses!
