Heres my story, I started playing starcraft a very long time ago, over 10 years ago. I began a newb just like everyone else and learned by being given tips / mass gaming, and taught by people who were better than me. I was never a top player in the foreign scene of StarCraft 1 , but I did achieve the things that mattered the most to me when I played SC1, which was having the opportunity to meet pro gamers, play against them, and speak with them on a regular basis. I started out playing on US East server and quickly learned this is the most bad manner server amongst the others, although I joined clan X17(which is the most bm clan known to extistence) and I was in it for a few years, I eventually quit and went to the USWest server, where I knew all the koreans played...Little did I know what was in store for me.
I started out at the bottom joining [TOp] about 5 years ago, which at the time was just a low level korean clan with about 2 semi pros and a few amateurs, I was in this clan for about a year, I eventually felt stronger and quit went for a leap of faith to join Neo.G , played 3 test games, went 2-1 and was able to join Neo.G , while i was in Neo.G I was able to play players like Neo.G_SexyBoy , Neo.G_SkyHiGh (SkyHiGh[fOu] ) , Neo.G_SoulKey , and more. After being in Neo.G for a few years I quit and went for an even bigger leap of faith and started to ' Hope ' join [aLive] , after 5 months of waiting in [aLive]'s channel, playing members, winning test games, creating friendships with members, and long long nights of staying up till 6+ am to play test games due to the time zone differences, I finally was accepted into [aLive] , without a doubt the best clan I was ever in and my biggest achievement in SC1, not that this is as big of an accomplishment as the other top foreigners of SC1, but to me this was my peak of my skill in SC1, and made me feel very accomplished as a gamer to be apart of this clan , meet pro gamers like Light[aLive] , Dove[aLive] (In_Dove) , Casy , Apex.Z , Sure , and ofc the sexy leader female leader Choa =) .
[aLive] was best clan I was ever in , most friendly koreans I ever met and was a great experience to be able to play vs such good players and identify myself with such great players. For a short amount of time I was in [SKT] clan before I quit SC1 , which was a clan made by the SKTelecomT1 coaching staff, so I then had the chance to meet bisu's head coach, Best[WHITE] , NsP_ParalyzE , and many more people.
Having had played so many pro gamers (losing most games but I did win a good bit of games vs them) I feel and felt like I have done alot that most non korean players were not able to do mostly because of language barriers, which was conquered due to the fact that I learned a few words in korean and koreans respect that when you atleast try to speak a little korean.
I don't really ever have the chance to share my whole experience of SC1 , and I thought it would be a good time to do it in my first TLnet blog, since I love this site and i've never written a blog or had the chance to share all of my accomplishments, and achievements in sc1, I thought this would be a wonderful place to start.
I know majority of you will not give a shit about me, my accomplishments, or what I have done, and i'm sure alot of you will claim I was fake member of these clans, Botmaster, and I never played vs any pros, I'm just sharing and not worrying about the hate thats going to come from making this blog.
At one point I was very bm and I have been bm to many people and I'd like to take this time to apologise to anyone who hates me b/c we got into a stupid argument over sc1 games with the ' i own you ' , ' no i own you ' argumentative conversations, I realize now that alot more people are bm than me and the mistakes I made weren't that big of a deal, although people misconstrue, mis interpret, my words and what i say alot of the time, regardless sorry for the past to anyone who this may apply to , but SC2 is a new beginning, SC2 is a new start, its a time for me and my team, and all players to succeed at the top level of this game, and enjoy the game together with all people, because this game is so very much enjoyable for all audiences.
At first I was a skeptic on StarCraft 2 , with the buildings, the units, the gameplay, but after every game it gets closer and closer to the feeling of broodwar, and now when I am playing, I feel like I am playing broodwar, because I have been gaming so much, the feel is practically the same on this game in the high level of gameplay, i'm not saying I am at the high level of gameplay yet, but I am close, I'm getting there, and I will not stop untill me and my team are all there.
My StarCraft 2 Clan started as TitanGaming, and 2 days ago we merged with multigaming team redemptivegaming, which was very good because they are going to sponsor our starcraft 2 team, which makes my first time being on sponsored team and the rest of the players as well, are very happy about this merge, promising the rest of the team / sponsors that we will practice and do more than our best to prove that we worthy, and can compete at the high level of competition.
Closing my first blog i'd like to say that if anyone truthfully needs a beta key, I have about 3-4 spares, so message me or post here why you want it and whoever seems like they need it the most / has more than 1-50 posts will most likely get them.
Thankyou TLnet for always being there for interesting reads, great information, awesome forums, and awesome admins who are always so quick to respond when i need my stream updated, and thx for not banning me when im stoned and forget to update stream status on TLnet.

I had a lot of trouble reading most of it, though I did finish it. I suggest at least trying to create real sentences, some capitalization, and spacing. Making an honest attempt will make a lot more people read it. Not trying to give you shit; I enjoyed the read, but it was just very difficult.

Don't criticize his grammar man. In my mind now you and CharlieMurphy are the people who can read a whole long post that obviously took a lot of time to write and criticize things that don't matter at all.

@TelecOm1 When I first got into beta at the beginning of April and we started to play those games against each other i never realized how much you had played, and cared about playing, Brood War. I also didn't know how good you were lol.

I had/have fun playing games against you every once in a while too. haha
You make it sound like there's a correlation between what should happen and what actually happens. I mean, life is chaotic and it's often unfair. I know it is for me.

How'd you manage to beat "real pro" gamers when stuff like this is true?
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=78648

Also this read chat "I play with pro / semi pro" but manages to lose to random guys everyday then massive BM

and the list goes on.. sorry but what you done and tell it differently is just T_T

Dude i msged you and said gg, because you simply did not. i said " no manner " becuase you didn't say gg. Do you feel your exempted from saying gg because I beat you with a certain build which was baneling / speedling bust? I wasn't trying to rub it in your face believe it or not.

Of course I never made it into an actual pro gaming team, I was in clans with pro gamers, I wasn't ever at that level of play, the games I'd win were with cheese, rush's , or lucky macro games
