Hello again dear TL, it has been awhile since my last blog, this time I bring you a mystical true story ...

I have been playing SC2 now off and on since the beta of WOL, where I originally bought my beta key for like 150$ , and then later on in WOL I bought 3 accounts, and had a few others given to me, I spent countless hours playing SC2 trying to achieve something that is unreachable, I always wanted to be a pro gamer, maybe you can say it was a dream of mine, to be on the stage infront of many people and to show everyone my skills ( or at least the ones I thought I had ).

At the beginning of every game of SC2 I get an indescribable feeling of something similar to nostalgia, that this time, this game is going to be a lot more similar to the game that I grew up playing and loved, the game that changed my life forever.

After over 10 thousand games played, and years of frustration and an egotistically strategic driven mind playing a 3D game that was supposed to be similar to the game we all know and love.

I decided to venture to the middle east, my destination? Saudi Arabia. I had to escape reality to find myself in another world, a place that I have never dreamed of traveling to before...

When I got off the plane, I landed in the Rub' al Khali Desert, to my surprise it was like nothing I had ever seen before, a beautiful sea of sand, all of my thoughts escaped me as I gazed over the sand ocean...

As I was walking through the desert alone, I realized that I had left my fanny pack full of dasani back in the ceiling of the plane above my seat, trying to remain calm, I just followed the road through the sand that the pilot told me to follow....

What seemed to be two hours later, I was walking through the desert of Rub' al Khali now alone just thinking of my life and what I have been doing with it , where I am going ( in more ways than one )....

About 5 minutes later still walking in the same direction, I saw what seemed to be a oasis with palm trees, I wasn't sure though due to hearing about Mirage's from people on the plane...

To describe a little about what it seemed to look like, I kept walking towards it and then I saw what seemed to be three most influential people of there races coming into my vision, I knew this had to be a mirage but I just kept walking in amazement anyways...

And First Bisu spoke, saying I am on the way back and I shall be the second to give hope back to the Protoss race after Jangbi, and I asked how he is enjoying his time since he has been back, and he responded by saying "It's amazing, glad to be back " , as I kept walking forward I realized that there faces were becoming more and more clear to me as if it was real, and then Flash said, "I will be the First God to return to the game we all know and love, to restore hope", and that was the only thing spoken by God ( he doesn't need to say much , he is god afterall ).

As the faces of Flash and Bisu dissipated into the dim sky, the sea of sand starting spinning as a sand twister was forming around the Dong's face, and he just laughed and a large feeling was struck inside of me, I could feel the Tyrant's returning, not just a tingling in my skin but within my soul....

Walking this perilous journey through the desert, I was about to faint when * BOOM * , a HUGE flash of light, and there was beautiful gypsy standing there, my thoughts were ( damn it, another mirage) , but to my surprise a tangible cold feeling came to me when she struck my hand with the refreshing dasani from the fanny pack around her waste.

And there I found redemption, and satisfaction, I found myself, a self realization that I already knew what I had to do and what I wanted to do to enjoy myself the whole time, I was just fighting my instincts and fighting myself to try to achieve something that was arbitrary to what really needed to be accomplished, I was doing the right thing 4 years ago, and I never should have quit, our future lies in the past, and I will not go back to what I was doing before.

As me and the gypsy walked together, and we finally reached the town, where I sat down, plugged in my mouse, keyboard, headset, opened xsplit, and then this is what I saw...
