Well, hello, TL community. It is currently December 31st, 2023, and about two hours away from 2024. My last post was nearly a decade ago, and something has led me right back to where I began.

So much has happened between now and then. I finished college, had a kid, and currently live a pretty everyday life, working a regular job and living in the suburbs with my girlfriend and son, which seems so far from the dream I once had of being a professional SC2 player. I'm not saying I gave up on my dreams but took a detour.

Sometimes life has a way of taking us down a road we could have never imagined, but nearly 10 years later, I got the itch to redownload Starcraft 2 and start casually playing again, and then something reminded me of this community, a community that I once held so near and dear to my heart, where I received so much good advice not just in SC2 but in life in general. I can't believe I was able to log back into my old account and take a trip down memory lane with my older blog posts.

So now that I am back, what is the scene like these days? It appears much has changed since I left. My favorite team, Evil Geniuses, isn't even a team anymore. It seems like the scene in NA is much more watered down now compared to what it once was. Is there anything I should be aware of coming back? or is the game similar to what it was ten years ago? Either way, I am glad to say...

HAPPY NEW YEAR, THE ZOMBIE PROTOSS IS BACK IN 2024!

First foreign sc2 player to win an offline premier in Korea was an American called Neeb. Then we got our first foreign world champions with Serral and Reynor and now Oliveira (do bronx up)

The scene has changed a lot, and now, the best players in the world are arguably foreigners.

LOL, yeah, that one is funny; I would tell that kid to stay in college and continue playing during your free time and then go all in after college if you are good enough.

Oh wow, that is awesome to hear! Koreans were always, and I am sure still are, the most dominant force in Starcraft. I will have to look into some newer players because many people I once followed are no longer playing.
