Just wanted to write a quick brag blog! Some people may remember the first blog in a series from about 18 months ago titled "Path to Korean GM" (http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?id=309898) which was all about me taking my training, including exercise and balanced lifestyle, a lot more seriously.
In the time in-between I've been right at the top of masters almost permanently, and practically built a mental block for each time GM came out I'd go on horrible losing streaks. The last few seasons I was confident I would make it in no matter what, and instead was caught travelling each time it was released. By the time i got home it would be full.
So here I was laddering last night, surprised to notice I was almost only playing top 100GMs and then I wake up today, lose my first ladder game, hop into another, win a comfortable macro game vs a Protoss and BAM!
I couldn't believe I would hit this goal that had been worked up in my head so much, in the middle of the season of all times. I know that it's always ridiculously harder to get GM mid-season so I almost fell out of my chair. It's built up into such a huge goal over this time that I'm just bursting with happiness right now.
I know in real terms its just a ladder ranking, and part of me KNOWS that I was already at this level for quite a while... but somehow that gold icon makes me so DAMN HAPPY!
Haha!
Thanks for reading guys! Hope to see some TLers at ACL Melbourne this weekend!
Wow getting korea gm is very very impressive. Its mostly esf and kespa koreans in kr gm right? I hear any kr gm can get easily get rank 1 on NA and EU server. You should try to aim for those too now that ur kr gm.
Gogo rank 1 gm on kr? Lol thats probably damn near impossible even for a kr gm.
PiG I am so god damned happy for you :D!! I met you at a random sc2 lan in Sydney a while back and when I saw you win that last game vs Mafia you became my favourite player. Now seeing you get to GM... I now know I was seriously on to something. Congratulations PiG, you deserved it :D!
Congratulations Pig! I've had the same goal except for NA GM and i'm in the same position you've been in for a while XD hope i can get it too! Congrats!!!!!!!!!
Good job PiG! Change your ID to "notkorean" so everybody knows. We, meaning the rest of the world, need some representation in that ever so prestigious GM over there in korea.
