Hello, friends.

I am a mid level silver player with about 1,000 games played on the North American server. I play the race Terran.

I've been having a lot of trouble winning games lately because of cheese, but when i'm playing my normal I think im easily masters level.

I've placed high in some silver tournaments, and I constantly review my replays and watch Day9 Dailies. I'm currently looking for a sponsored team to fly me out to Anaheim, so I can compete with some of the best. I know this sounds weird since i'm just silver, but as long as nothing out of the ordinary happens I'm pretty much master level.

I've been working a lot on my apm doing various exercises and routines, and I've gotten it up to about 70. Which is more than EGAxslav, which means I am basically grandmasters level If nothing weird happens.

I'm not your normal silver player, I take every game like my life depends on it. I'm trying to start new and intuitive styles that make the game less coin flippy and more micro dependent.

Lately I've been doing the quick siege tank expand build. Gas first, then Barracks. Make a few marines then Tech Lab on Barracks and switch with factory. That can get out some really fast tanks. I usually push with about 8 tanks and a few helions, but generally if my opponent goes early mutalisks I just lose my army.

Yesterday, while I was masturbating, I thought of this really new cool build. I've only gotten a chance to try it a few times because there have been a lot of tournaments on lately. Generally when players go banshees they will make a few helions since helions don't cost gas and they have a factory. I'm trying to change the metagame by starting out with a few reapers in a medivac, to force roaches, then make a lot of banshees. I think it would work well as long as I deny scouting with vikings. Sadly, this build is directly countered by queens. Just got to hope your opponent doesn't make them! Haha.

Alright so thats my blog for now, I'm going to start typing up another one but I don't want to make a huge wall of text.

Thanks for reading!

Let's be realistic. Why would a sponsored team want to fly out someone who has no potential to actually get very far from a tournament? I'm not shitting on you, but it is a bit unlikely, no?

Yesterday, while I was masturbating, I thought of this really new cool build. I've only gotten a chance to try it a few times because there have been a lot of tournaments on lately.


What?

Best of luck, the guy who first replied is a bad troll.

Honestly I have no idea who you are - but I would like to get to know you. I like a man that rubs my back whenever I want, and constantly tries to impress me. However, "hardcore licking sessions" don't really... sound normal. And it also scares me how you are saying all of this in past tense, as I do not recall any of it.

Where are you from and how old are you?

Yeah buddy, lets be realistic. Players aren't automatically the best in the world when they start out, most people start at really low levels and grind out a lot of games to get to where they are. Take a look at the Korean Pro-Gaming teams, they always recruit unknown players with a lot of potential and the stride to be the very best - and I've got both of those.

Everyone's always talking about how we need to follow the Korean training regime in order to be as good as them, why don't we start now... with me? Pick me up! xD

I think you need to do a bit more research on how the process works. :3

Hmm, I'm not sure about this. Given what you just said you don't seem to be a very well established person. But still, I like your personality. If someone here would tell me that you're trustworthy I might think about buying you a plane ticket.

47 is pretty old seeing as I am only 23, but I would love to give you a chance.

Where in the United States are you from? Could you tell me a little about yourself?

PS: Are you allowed to ride on planes?

No kid, lets see your accomplishments. I'm probably 20x better than you, you have no idea what you're talking about. Mr Torte De Lini. Get the hell out of my blog, and never come back.

They forced me to stop using smilies, please do not put them in my blog. It makes me really want to use them.

And I've changed a lot since I was 2 day banned. I've matured more than one could ever imagine possible that quickly, and I've taken a different look at my life. My goals are now completely different and I want to be a great all around person.
