Well today I was planning on iccuping after a long time when there was a guy advertising a tourney. Im like sure why not. So after 2 hours I checked in and im like "HELL YEAH A TOURNAMENT!" which the bracket can be found here

It's called the 1v1 32 Man tournament by Clan OverDosed

While I check in and wait I am listening to Day[9]'s podcast about winning with an advantage. I felt taking an advantage was something I needed to work on, and his podcasts are very exhilerating. gj Day[9]!

So to continue: I played Meepy. we had some hosting issues but then he switched to another PC for hosting. We finally make a game (a PvP MU) and ro1 is on collo2. I start on bottom right and scout him first at top right. I take his gas and im like hell yeah im gonna win this (cuz i was playing me friend twice some time before and I won every time I did a gas steal). My end game was: 4 base carriers.. I felt so pro cuz I had an end game!

Now my luck turned upside down... my mouse started to act up (something I was hoping wouldnt happen). Basically it wouldnt click 80% of the time... I would click but I would get no reponse. I dont mean that I press A and click and the circle thing disappears but the unit wont move. I mean I press A and click but the circle thing stays there and command was never processed! Now I was like SHTDFASDFASDFASDF but I tried to play with this problem.

So his reponse for my gas steal was to 2 gate zeal. I scouted it and i responded with adding a 2nd gate (which btw took some time because of mouse). Then I started to pump zeals and I scouted again. I saw 3 zeals already half way to my main. My response? pull off 2 probes wiht the zeals I already had. So i tried microing the best I couldwith my retard mouse. For a split second I thought I was going to lose but then 2 more zeals (YEAH!) popped out. The enemy went up the ramp to my nat and he tried to do some ninja manouvre but I killed 2 zeals and almost killed another when he was trying to come back down. I had more zeals popping, and I said to my self i need gas now to make goons, cuz I already set the rift for my core. I knew taht he already had his gas after destroying my assim at his gas... and I knew he could pump goons soon, so I was like either I use all my zeals right now and rush or I'll try to hang on. As I furiously tried to set the command for my 5 zeals 1 probe for his neutral sunk I 2 goons.

Because I was listening to Bay[9]'s podcast, he said to scout first and I did. To my surprise he had like 6 goons waiting for me! OMG!!! I looked back at my base and one of his zeals were punching at my workers.. damit... I was like ok I better go in now or something because 1. I got core and gas EXTREMELY SUPER LATE 2. My workers were dying.

As I moved in and tried microing he had 8-10 goons waiting to kill me... He moved them to my base and I turned back my finished goons away from their rally point (to his neutral sunk). Then I just lost there..

Now I am not angry or anything because I knew that I played well despite my mouse problem. and I learned something new about playing with advantages. But still i am wondering if my mouse had been not retarded would have I won? idk.. oh well.

I am going to go in more tourneys cuz it was fun and now I have to go look up port forwarding for sc so I can host games in iCCup and bnet.. cuz I want to host.

GG Meepy gl no rest of tourney!

My first tournament was last week, I got owned 0-2 in the first bracket. They are still fun though, I love participating even if I get owned.
Much better than yesterdays threads Sonu, sounded like you had fun.

I love doing spontaneous tournies. This mostly happens on east, but every once in a blue moon you'll find one somewhere else.

It's almost always a good experience, even though I have a horrible tendency to lose finals to some punk who I feel I should beat easily .. If I get to the final, of course

I've never been in a tourny. But I am thinking about it maybe asking my Clan(Clan EO) if we could do a tourny but, hey its on US East so I don't even know if we will be on.

The last tournament I played was an exclusive inner-clan tournament. I made a fake name with their tag, joined it, and knocked a guy out. I lost the next round, but whatever.

actually this is the 3rd forum iv been in.

this forum is the most iv ever been on. im trying to contribute. and im going through some stuff. basically the recession is affecting me and my loved ones so I am going through stuff... and then my mouse failed my last week so i needed to bitch on that somewhere. so sory for fucked up threads. I will keep the quality of my threads atleast on par to this blog.

im going to practice more, even if its against the computer. hey its still sc right?
