So i have been somewhat busy the past weeks, moving to the Netherlands from Germany. I work for Team Liquid now, and I am living at the Team Liquid headquarters in Utrecht. It has been a fairly short journey with Team Liquid when you compare it to the likes of salle, Hot_Bid or a lot of other (former) Team Liquid employees, all of them having been with Team Liquid for years, with myself only joining Team Liquid in early 2013. So far I have liked it quite a bit here, and the people at TLHQ are all very nice, so I am looking forward to living with them.

It is kind of funny thinking back to it actually. I did not follow StarCraft 2 back then, being still a WC3 fan more than everything else. I had just discovered that HasuObs was playing StarCraft 2 now, and that Liquipedia was a thing. One day I had tuned in on some English StarCraft 2 stream that had HasuObs playing, and when Liquipedia was not updated, I went ahead and updated it myself. I never thought this would go where it did in the end with myself becoming a Liquipedia staffer, a blue-name on Team Liquid even (although blue-names are not working on Team Liquid at the moment), and finally working for Team Liquid. If someone would have told me 4 years ago that I would work in esports by 2015, I would have laughed at him ^^. And all of that because I was bored and looked for something to do…

Moving to the Netherlands has been a huge step in life for me. Just until recently I still lived at my parents, so this is the first time moving out for me. Going to a foreign country adds on top of it, and it certainly was not a decision of seconds to leave Germany behind. Not being able to speak a single word of Dutch turned out to be somewhat of a hurdle, although most people here speak English or German just fine. I managed to fuck up registration on first try, will try again on Wednesday, one would think they would have an English language website for foreign people (but they do not -.-). All in all I am slowly getting settled, only time will tell what the future brings from here on out.

Wish me luck

"The force" presumably being that matrix-esque code that runs on R1CH's second monitor 24/7
