After almost a year of not playing at all, I've decided to come back to starcraft!!!
Note that I haven't exactly left the starcraft community, as I still watch about 20-25 hours of games a week. However, playing starcraft was putting too much pressure on my during my undergraduate days at harvey mudd (just about the most difficult, work intensive college in the USA.) As a result, I had to turn down:
WCG 2006 grand finals (Lastgosu couldn't go, I couldn't go, Artosis ended up going)
Playing at Blizzcon 2007
PGL in China
WCG 2007 USA finals
Playing in the TSL
More importantly I was without:
-That wonderful electric feeling in your fingertips after a long session
-The satisfying feeling of accomplishment
-The joy of analysis and improvement
Thusly, I've decided I'm going to start playing more (as much as possible). I'll try to document my progress as well as provide some more audio-type commentary on my thought processes. Yaaaay BW

You got a PGL invite?! Daaamn that's a big thing to give up. Same with Blizzcon and WCG.

|
I only know you by your recordings, but it seems like the community will be regaining a star player!
Now get to laddering. ;p

"is that a ballsack...? no couldn't be..."

Welcome back.
I do hear Harvey Mudd is a lot of work, haha. I dunno why one would go to a school that has a reputation for working your butt off, but I'm sure you learned a lot.

harvey mudd was my 3rd choice, but i ed'd dartmouth
it looked cool though
pomona was my 4th too hahahaha

Yea I'm pretty bad if a college had any reputation for making their students work their asses off I didn't apply (UChicago, Northwestern, MIT, Harvey Mudd, etc.). I'm sure Harvey Mudd's a great school though.
Imma stop derailing their thread. Good luck Day!

You can't be "the best zerg in america" and lose to Louder.. it's like a rule. Only we call it logic.. especially when money is on the line. Then you really have no excuse.

You all lose mother fuckers.

Nothing better than a community contributer starting to play again and there in starting to be able to contribute more. Even though day was able to contribute without playing.

So America has... no best Zerg? 
Everything just got a whole lot more interesting in the US BW scene.

placing below him isn't the same as losing to him...should be fairly obvious how these things work.
|
nope group rearrangements by arbitrary admin decision the night before the tournament are entirely legit
you deserved your placement~ louder is simply the better player
|
Rooting for you day, go own some people
|
This almost beats square root day.

Mwahahahahaha, my plan of assembling and sponsoring an all-American, all-Zerg proteam is coming to fruition! We will move to Korea for SC2 and use cheesy stereotypical aliases like "FATHAMBURGER" or "TWINTOWERNEVERFORGET" as we dominate the Proleague, with MBS and automine compensating for our naturally slower fingers!
I can't wait to wear fancy dress suits and give January the staredown from across the booths. The players will of course wear poofy jackets and/or tracksuits, possibly velour ones. Who's with me?

replays or i dont believe you

Go go Day9!
Then go to Korea too?

Maybe you can try to start the team with rek xD How much can it possibly cost to host a proteam anyway ^_^

Excellent idea. Our booth girls will be the hottest BY FAR. Bump those league-supplied schoolgirls, we're bringing in our own.

Yea.... I mean for anyone unaware Suppy got B last season so he could probably even beat Incontrol/Machine in a 2v1 with his skills.
Also Cloud said in another thread that by.testie (Target) went Random and got zerg twice in a row so he was pretty mad about that.
