So After finishing university and completing a winter season in japan, I have plans to travel japan for my entire 18month visa! But, before i start my solo escapade in japan i was bitten by the sc2 bug back in march when the snow was shit and there was not much to do.

I've always wanted to come to seoul to see starcraft live and what not, back in 2013 I had a attempt at pushing my sc2 abilities to their limits and peaked at rank 6 masters on the korean server, decided if i made gm id come to korea as a present. But sadly never made it. (purely because i accidently got a girlfriend :'(....)

SO being as close as japan, i figured why the fuck not, and flew to Seoul!
I've been here since the start of April and will stay one month.

Im planning on staying here until the 1st of may before i fly back to japan.

So far its been a great experience, was so excited to go to the GSL and see the R16 group c containing 3 z and 1 t, hoping to see some new ways to rekt terran.... obviously dream decided to just roll face.

Im loving the PC BANGs, not a fan of the huge screens or what not, but they are a pretty awesome environment with heaps of cheap food. After i move from hongdae next week i'll try and find a unique one.

Yesterday I had my longest stretch in the pc bang of 20 hours, in which i also 4-0'd a cwar at the end of it. Its good to see my ability to last long hours is back.

I had hit a wall on korea up until yesterday not being able to break rank 40 masters, but after about 8 hours of drafting up some builds and practicing them, im back on a role :D
Im using the na server to practice the builds against slower opponents in which ive now broken top 8.

The ultimate goal is still GM on korea..... lets see how far i can push this until i hit the next wall... Until then :D

I also stream from time to time @ twitch.tv/novacks
