Hey! I recognize your TL name. Didn't you win one of the EA Masters tournaments in CNC back in the days? I think Master league in SC2 should be easy for you with your talent. You don't really lose that, even if you don't play for some years. I am not sure about Grandmaster but I certainly wouldn't be surprised if you would hit that as well.


Yes I was quite good in CNC , i just started playing CNC Remastered and it is fun. Will stream some also next days. Never played it before. After years and years offline from gaming, i just feel it is a great time to integrate my new life learnings intio my games will see how it is going.

Good luck on your quest.

As someone who's been playing since release, and never passed D1 in 1v1, I sincerely mean it. What you are proposing will be no small task in 2020.

no disrespect, but you must doing something horribly wrong, i have seen plenty of sub 80 apm masters players with 1-2spm...


I am aware of my stylistic preferences and take a lot of risks to simply end games. My average APM as Terran playing marine-tank is around 180. Strangely enough, my highest rank achievement was with what I consider to be my worst race (Protoss). Frankly, I don't care to play the best way, nor to train one build. When I bought the game in 2010 I started out as Zerg, and started out as bronze. I'm actually quite happy with what I've done so far. Perhaps it has something to do with the thousands of bonus pool points that I have, or maybe everyone's just better.

EDIT: Not all soccer players get to play for Real Madrid, because honestly, they're just not good enough. My hands hurt after a couple of games, so I can't grind as many hours as I'd like. I'm just not good enough to be in GM (or Master 1v1), and I'm comfortable with it.

To bring this back to one the thread's about, I'm not sure if it's intentional, but your twitch channel doesn't [appear to] have any VODs. You're not going to pay-wall us are you? Is the channel just new?

No that would not make any sense. I played the last 2 days and tried out Twitch for the first time. I also wondered why my two lives did not "became" VOD's afterwards. I also recorded the first session in the Twitch Studio Beta. Since I am new, I have to learn a lot about Twitch and how it works - what is the best setup to keep a stable connection for me and so on.

Any ideas why my lives have not been added as VOD*s? There must be an option.

UPDATE: I found the option "Store past recordings and clicked it on" - So next streams should be available as VOD's

Nice. Glad you were able to sort that out.

There's also a way to register your stream here on TL, so that the right side SC2 streams list (depends on viewer count, but it can expand) shows your stream there. It can be manually or automatically updated to reflect your online status (pick auto, it works fine).

My first update and resume after returning in SC2.

Diamond 2 and Diamond 1 is the new Master of 2010-2013. I am kind of stuck at that level right now at 3700 MMR. Maybe if I play a loot of Games, it is possible for me to get to Master 3/2. It is really fantastic that so many active good players are in SC2 and even Diamond is kind of a good level of Game. In 2013 I never lost vs Diamond and now i am kind of 60/40 or 70/30 depending on the matchups and my builds.

I have to say that i am completely new to lurkers and all other units in Legacy of the Void. Fights are not easy for me, because I am not experienced vs the newer units and unit composition.

To reach GM seems really a competivite Goal nowadays. Check out my stream: https://www.twitch.tv/fazinate

I have several VODs, and you see how i am preparing to understand Legacy of the Void better. Also talking about life from time to time and just chatting what it needs to be great in life. All support in Twitch helps immense - it is very time consuming to build a fanbase. I do my best to stream as much as possible.

I also watch GSL,IEM games and highlight "react" to them.
