So yeah, Mondragon will be living with me for a month or so, cause he's doing his internship at PokerStrategy here in Gibraltar.
Since I have him here, I decided to try and get some skill running, so I played a few games under his guidance in exchange for shelter and sexual favors. First impressions? I'm 4-1 and that loss was from a higher rank. Fuck yeah! He's not a fantastic player for nothing - it shows in his coachings. This means that in about 1month I will fucking rape you all with my newly discovered Zerg skills. I will update this and eventually post some replay packs to show my evolution. Live for the Swarm!

im training ZvP and ZvT now and he's giving me all sorts of advice concerning mainly build orders, timing and in-depth strategies. some of the stuff he says is just mind blowing. besides he's a great dude in real and we already have planned his welcoming party for this evening. life is good.

Social Justice is a fools errand. May all the adherents at its church be thwarted. Of all the religions I have come across, it is by far the most detestable.

I am by no means a good player, but I improved more in a few weeks of playing with pckjers (much better than me) and on ladders than I did in years of playing with my friends of the same skill level. So for some people I think playing with better players is the best way to learn.

did you actually read my post? i said he will be coaching me. that means he will watch me play and give me advices as the game progresses. why would i want to play against him when it's much more useful to get tips and tricks from him?
nvm. last night we went drinking and it was me, mondi, strafe and fenris among others. pretty fun night but we arrived too late and since we have work/internship in the morning we just decided to leave it for tomorrow. i will also make an interview with him and attach replay packs every week or so, but that depends on the number of reps i can squeeze out of him. will keep you guys in touch.
