Eight years has have passed since I quit BW, around that time I also stopped producing music .
Perhaps I played some with you or maybe you heard some of my songs which I posted here.

....And sometimes you find your way back to the things you love after a long break.
I recently started to playing StarCraft again and I'm grinding my way back to my old skill level (I wasn't by any means pro just your average B rank ICCup Terran).

My goal is just to improve and have fun. I'm still feeling a bit slow (around 180-220 APM compared to my 250-280 APM back when I was active) maybe it's because of the age.

I miss the days when I was in a active team where you had a lot of friends that you could practice with, the last team I was in was a korean (also with foreigners) team on west called [InCa], don't know if we have any old members from there here on TL whom remember me?

I can't really remember much from that period, apparently I'm turning senile now as well haha.

Anyway, so I also started making music again, making music is kind of like riding a bicycle, you never forget how to do it, compared to beeing good at a RTS game like Starcraft - which you have to maintain your self in some kind of shape I feel like.

I actually completed a song after this long break, I tried to put some effort in it but not too much, I was mainly looking to finish a project just to "get back on the horse" or how to say, My next song will be a bit more refined with mastering, buildup and progression.

I linked it below here, give it a listen if you feel like. It's basic trance stuff which I toyed around with vocals (my first vocal track), Maybe my next track will be a complete vocal track with a bit more lyrics, these are like 4 lines (2 sentences) lol. For those wondering it's my girlfriend who lent her voice for this one

You are there
and I am here.

Never made
it through the years.


And oh! - Any EU players here playing BW around 19.00-22.00 CET please PM i need some friends haha. I can play on West too but probably the time zone difference would make it difficult since I don't have the time I used to have to play early in the morning/late at night during weekdays.

Bai bai.

If you played with [InCa] and were active on west 8 years ago I'm sure we bumped into each other I was in a lot of teams around those parts of BW before finding home (NrG). I actually just got back into playing a couple of days ago in order to play in + Show Spoiler +
https://tl.net/forum/bw-tournaments/558287-happy-rvr-only-tournament
this tournament. Like you, I was the average B rank Terran, so if you want to practice with me and/or reminisce, I'd be delighted ^^

Also I like the track you posted; keep on producing, buddy.

Cool! A oldschooler like me :D
Haha i was hardstuck like, real hardstuck in B. But in SC2 i managed to get grand master but that game is basically tetris compared to BW , I feel more proud of my B rank in BW compared to GM in SC2.

I guess you're on west? Feel free to add me on Battle.net : Omnislash#21711
If you have been active all a long it will be embarassing for me to play you, I'm like C- now , need to get back my old flow.

Thanks man, appreciate it!

Glad to see people coming back

Check out CPL if u want people and practice your way back into shape.

Game hasn't changed. Meta just got more fierce.
What MMR are you at now?
btw like the chill trance.
Not my chair. Not my problem. That's what I say

I don't think I played 1v1 BW since... 2014?

But recently, I've been watching BW streams (Artosis, Tasteless), watching ASL on youtube, and a bunch of youtube videos of Korean Pros.
Man, my love for this game has been rekindled, and I'm going to play some this Summer for sure.
I was never good (D+ at best in 2011 ICCUP), but it's funny how I'm not the only one who is itching to play again all of a sudden.
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

I wish you said SC2 instead of BW so I could make a TSL joke

Apparently TvT has changed a lot by Brood War standards because Flash kept driving other Terrans to innovate. I also see a lot more Valkyries in pro games than I used to.
