Nope. The only foreigners that can make it to Blizzcon now are Bunny and Scarlett, but Snute is out. So sad.

Hey everyone !! wall of text blog! I have some news now that WCS is almost over. A lot of people were cheering for me to make it to Blizzcon, I was cheering for me too. But it is not a big deal not making it, I did my best at every competition I went to and will keep doing so, so whatever. There's too much good stuff forward to look forward to.

2014 was really good with a decent increase in average skill, but it's time for a short rest. As you guys know I rarely take time off but now there's a lot of things I need to take care of to focus on SC2 again. Some sub-par performances have started to sprinkle in a little more often than they should so here's the plan!

- This month (October) will be the first month where I won't travel to an international offline event, after a pretty stacked schedule this will be a needed change of pace there's a lot of things I need to take care of in RL that will take a lot of time so I won't be playing much now.
- Something that seemed a bit like the beginning of a carpal tunnel type of problem struck me a few weeks ago. I have pretty bad-ass super resilient hands that can be pushed really hard but I still know enough to respect it and cut practicing at this point, so things will be chill for now and my hands are feeling 95% okay so it's all good, no permanent damage.
- Keeping up with KR levels of practice and this amount of tournaments/travel was a bit tricky and I haven't kept up in the exercise department well enough. Looking back it was a bit disappointing but for the future I will now cut practice if it's not taken care of.
- I'll still wrap up a few online tournaments, including the Foreign Hope tournament. But I won't be practicing for it as I usually would and my recent form is down so just hoping for the best here. Sorry about this in advance, right now I probably won't be the "best foreigner"
- After this I will play a lot less tournaments for a while.


I'm having the best results when I can grind a lot of games, watch a ton of VODs, play a lot of tournaments and truly enjoy SC2. Right now I don't do this because of the stuff above and I'm also not content with my practice situation.

+ Show Spoiler [2015 life situation stuff] +
It's a somewhat common problem for SC2 pros to spend time moving around basically lacking a proper environment and dealing with that in the middle of a season is not in my interest. I want to play tons of EU online/offline stuff with home base in Norway, freedom to visit friends/family here, freedom to go to Korea/International for a month or so ^^

Being a pro in Norway is not easy since you kinda need to make a lot of money. Renting is about $1200 per month if you want to live alone and it's not easy to justify that with traveling to Korea for a month for example. Buying however is a good investment. An average cheap entry apartment is about $170.000 here - it is expensive, but at some point I have to get going with it anyway growing older as a Norwegian citizen (no plans of leaving the country long term). I've been at many tournaments and placed decently so hopefully it is somewhat realistic and possible^.^

Staying with and relying on family and friends for a place to live/practice doesn't feel right to me and I enjoy living alone while living the SC2 life so I want to make this work. It's the same with team houses in Korea, you need some goodwill and I'm not very comfortable with it long-term because of my lacking language skills. It's my wish to go to Korea at some point again next year for medium-short stays but the goal right now is to establish a proper home situation in Norway for 2015 with the opportunity to go to Korea too.


What this will mean for the future is that I won't be streaming/playing very well this month, maybe the remainder of the year will be a bit of a slump, but it's all for the better next year I will turn up the practice a lot before DH:Winter but it's still a while away. Will do as much as possible until then.

My goal for 2015 is to increase my level even further, this year so far compared to last one felt like a +30% skill boost, next goal is top KR level

So thank you for all the support this year, even though it is not over! I think anyone with enough change of habit and good conditions can become better and smarter and that should be true for starcraft too so maybe if I can do well in changing now, next year will yield better results

Big thank you to based Team Liquid and our sponsors HyperX, shinythings, NEEDforSEAT, Razer and Twitch for having me on the team and sending me to IEM Toronto for example even if I didn't qualify for it. Thank you ~

Thanks for keeping us updated Snute (:
You had an amazing 2014 and I hope the best in 2015 for you, both in your play/results and in all the other stuff, and you for sure have the potential to get top KR level.
Good Luck !

You have one of the best attitudes towards this game, and I'm always impressed when I see how much thought and care you put into Starcraft, not only the game but your life surrounding it. Keep it up, Snute, I'll keep cheerin'. :D
