Sup guys, it's me again !

I've been practicing everyday ever since I played IdrA on ladder a while back. I wanted to be the very best, that no one ever was. I wanted to catch them all. I really don't know what to do at this point.

As I start the game, I am wondering if this is the real IdrA or the drophack one, I am pretty sure after a while that it's the real one since I am not lagging.

Even tho my fellow friends on skype suggest to me that I should take my 4gate all in to the next level by going 5gate and cancel my expo at 99% I decide that I will beat IdrA in a macro game !

I decide to go 1gate FE into 4gate into some fake pressure to force something other than drones. I clear out every ling on the map even tho one eventually runs by my army.

After watching the replay, IdrA had 50workers and 1roach on the way when he left...

Maybe one day, I will catch a legendary Pokemon, until then I will keep queuing ladder in hope of glory and honor.

I hope you had fun reading this.

Here's the first part of my blog on my quest to catch a legendary Pokemon

After watching you post things like this about your games versus well established members in this community, I feel like there should be an addon to the TL commandment "Thou shall respect forum veterans". Into something like "Thou shall respect SC2 veterans by not posting every game you cheese them". As a progamer I can tell you if you did this to me I'd be really annoyed. You can change it into a "oh look a wild pokemon appears", but so can I.

Today I met a trainer on the road. He would go around telling every trainer that he could find that he beat ash in a real battle. Turns out ash didn't use pickachu and was sick that day. However still that trainer went around to every city declaring that he beat him. Eventually he was banned from the pokemon league. Thats my blog post.
Team LiquidUnderneath it all they were really quite nice. They just got screwed up. Mostly by stuff that wasn't entirely their fault.

Amen Sheth, i really do not mind a bragging blog once in a while (actually i really do not like them, but it is ok as long as not too frequent), but posting every game you play him, especially when it is such a lame game like that was, is just kind of annoying. Goodluck getting good at SC, but there is no need to post all of your wins on here.

The thing is, it's awesome that you beat IdrA. If I beat IdrA, I'd be thrilled, and probably post a brag blog about it as well. The thing is though, you're doing it multiple times. Once was cool and nicely humorous, we all like to see NA's zerg go down to some cheese. But, doing it again is a little less humorous (read: a lot less). Good on you, but... A little lame the second time.
