... A blog, or chronicles if you prefer, about an amateurs (but old semi-professiona) journey toward Grandmaster-level play.

Wow. I probably should have gotten around to this weeks ago!

Welcome, my loyal subjects! I´ll be doing my Starcraft-blogging here (and on my Facebook-page) until my website goes live, and perhaps even after if blogging on TL is as pleasant as people have described it!

Enjoy your stay and spread the word of my return! ♥

First blog entry ever edit: While this blog quickly fills up with stuff, why don´t you check out this thread for everything you might want to know about me, my struggles and my future plans for eSports in this thread?

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=413546

If you like what you read, another amazing way to get updates, get to know me, and show your support is to follow me on Facebook and Twitter:

https://www.facebook.com/ThatGlaiveGuy
https://twitter.com/GGlaive



If you´ve followed me from the very beginning you´ve probably heard me repeatedly (for very good reason) say how incredibly grateful I am for all the positive feedback and support I´ve been getting from many old friends and acquaintances. Even complete strangers have offered to help me succeed! People who don´t know me in real life or from my semi-professional competition days in Warcraft 3.

Thank you all so much again for all your kind words, it truly does wonders for ones motivation to continue pursuing a single goal with steadfast determination. To succeed as a professional gamer once again. Or find another way to make a living off of my single greatest passion. Perhaps as a commentator, journalist, E-sports blogger/vlogger or general community content producer. Anything and everything is possible - I´ll be doing this for myself and for the community full time.

I´m thoroughly committed to providing all of you, and any fan of E-sports with quality content to help nurture the amazing phenomenom that many of us have been a part of loved and cared for from its infancy. Some of you may have only just begun to appreciate the complex but brilliant and beautiful work of art that is the competitive spectator game of Starcraft 2. As Tasteless and Artosis would put, we´re not some group of hipsters, we want EVERYONE to know how cool this is once you get into it. We want to see this thing grow. Watching and learning Starcraft actually makes you a better person.

Besides, I have a bet with my father that we´ll see E-Sports in the Olympics within his lifetime. For that, we need more people reaching out, broadening our fanbase so that it keeps growing at this astounding rate. I´ll be damned if I lose because I didn´t do my part.
