Hi Teamliquid,

[image loading]

Nickname: KalurO
Country: The Netherlands
Age: Born in 1988
Twitch channel: www.twitch.tv/kaluroo (Please do hit that follow button! ♥)

I am KalurO, from the netherlands.
I have a pretty wide history of gaming. I had been playing warcraft III at a very competitive level. I first played orc but later switched to night elves. I found that night elves more suited my intense micro addiction and had widened up a bigger arsenal to more revolve around my playstyle.

After a long period of a few years, I slowly let go of warcraft III, as life was requiring more of my attention.

Now after finally having calmed down in life, and having more spare time - I picked up starcraft 2. I bought the game back in July 2011. I had never heard of starcraft before, didn't know what terran, zerg, let alone protoss was.

When I first started playing, I was used to putting 5 workers mining and a few on wood chopping, to just assault the enemy with a few minor units + a hero, to hopefully micro your way to victory.

Well, was I in for a treat. Instead of a micro-RTS, starcraft 2 turned out to be a macro-RTS. All that I learned in my wc3 time, was out the window.

I didn't have much time to play, I had a relationship and a job that required at least 50 to 60 hours of my time, a week. I also do bodybuilding, which means eating (+cooking) 6 big meals a day and working out 4 times a week. So I couldn't quite fully devote to starcraft 2. Hell, not even moderately.

I climbed up from bronze to silver, to platinum (Where did gold go , it skipped me..) to diamond and masters. This season I had to quit my job sadly but am now able to fully devote my time to starcraft 2. I am both masters on NA as EU.

[image loading]

Race played: Zerg
Favourite unit: The zergling
Favourite playstyle: Double upgraded zerglings
NA account: http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/profile/3489884/1/KalurO/
EU account: http://eu.battle.net/sc2/en/profile/2240242/1/Kaluro/
Leagues: Masters league on both NA as EU

I decided to pick up zerg, I liked the mechanics and active playstyle. Protoss felt too turtly and terran didn't interest me at all, after having played the campaign.

I managed to go from platinum to masters by going for double upgrade lings, infestor, ultralisks. I never built a single broodlord thus far.

Versus terran mech I just roach drop, versus protoss I tend to be very aggressive with roach/ling or muta.

I am slowly creating my own playstyle, planning on staying far far away from "metagaming". I am a big believer in developping your own play rather than copying everything.

[image loading]

I can now devote a lot of time to starcraft 2 since I am jobless at the moment.
My goal is to reach high masters with my own playstyle and to eventually get into a good team. Maybe get my name out there, but I'm not going to go too quickly on things.

I have been bodybuilding since I was 17 years old, I am currently 23 years old.
I went from 66kg (145 LBS) to 92kg (202 LBS), at a height of 1m95, 6'5".
You can also drop bodybuilding related questions here or on my stream (Eitiher about strength training, anatomy or nutrition), I'd love to answer them ;-).

And who wouldn't want some pictures to go with the thread.

Okay, the stream will be going live in 60 minutes time.
I am still deciding whether to go Heart of the Swarm or Wings of Liberty, It's most likely going to be HotS.

I am really curious about the new mutalisk update, increased speed and health regeneration.

It's been a while since I actively played - seeing I have had real life commitments that were really taking up quite a bit of time.
So what I'm going to do today is to have a little sc2 streaming marathon. Make sure to tune in ! 12:30 PM CET!

I have also made a post at the looking for team thread right here: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=139545&currentpage=88#1746

For those interested.


Stream going live at: 12:30 PM CET!

I don't recall using those exact same words, but hey nobody is perfect right?
If one is continiously provoked, some bad words are bound to come out at times - I doubt you're a holy grail yourself.
I also don't quite understand how Teamliquid has anything to do with a small skirmish between you and I? :-).

Are you looking for redemption? If so -> I'm terribly sorry, I just fail to see the use of 8 pools in the HotS beta and I am detoxing from caffein, which is giving me headaches ^_^.



Anyway I got my Qpad MK-85 Cherry mx RED keyboard.
I had been using a Qpad MK-85 Cherry mx BROWN keyboard before.

I am liking the reds much more at the moment, it's taking some practice though!


www.twitch.tv/kaluroo live for an hour or 5, pure HotS!

You linked me your stream and told me 3k people will spam me how much I suck but your reaction now is much more rational and mature, I can't say I'm 100% mannered on ladder either. You're more than forgiven <3.

Oh edit: I have to say I did not provoke you before I accidently imply that. I wanted to post this on teamliquid because I wanted to give you feedback I suppose. Which was maybe a bit uncalled for, I apologize as well ^^.

No problemo ^_^

I am currently still trying to get used to the Cherry mx red mechanical switches, I am really missing the brown 'clicks' and it happens occassionally that I dont register a key, ironically.
