Hello fellow starcraft 2 players from all leagues and ladders. Thank you for taking the time to check out a new blog in your endless search for ( a hopefully) up-and-comer(s). If your into detailed and clever writing, moments of great triumph and crushing defeats, you have found a little slice of literary heaven. Just kidding, my wordcraft is to starcraft as marines are to warcraft.
Let me introduce myself, and give you a little insight behind the cold hard walls of text (and occasional replay and re-recorded continued replay).
My name is Adam Ascott, I am 25 years old, live in Canada, and I have decided to dedicate my spare time (due to a great love of starcraft) to attempting to gather a fan base and smash into the pro scene, For those of you who enjoy watching replays, here are a couple of pre-HoTS replays (http://drop.sc/309965), (http://drop.sc/309964) the first one is a TvP, where I open with a nuke rush and transition into marauder raven with a few tanks for defence while trying to get up an expansion (I focused heavily on micro so expect to see my macro fail miserably for a little bit) one thing I would/should have done differently was to NOT STOP MAKING GHOSTS... this game could have been finished a lot faster (and with fewer units) with a few more ghosts. My engagements would have been a lot more cost effective (especially since I didnt use medivacs) and I should have been trying to micro back only the wounded marauders (while not kiting) to allow the marauders with more health to tank a shot or two to spread out the damage. All in all however it was a fun, action packed, edge of your seat game, if anyone would like to share/cast/comment please DO! cast it, put it on your channel, review it with your friends! Just drop a line to my twitter (@LtAscott) and tell them I'd like a follower. My rather lackluster use of the factory in this game could have easily been converted to a HoTS-style build by getting a reactor instead and widom mines instead of tanks.
The second game is an action packed, macro-oriented PvZ, in which nearly every WoL tech path is utilized by both myself and the other player for each of our races respectively. Inevitably, with no infestors on the field, I was able to overcome the onslaught and remaxes by this excellent (for his league) player, a game to this scale of sheer enjoyment is a rarity for me, especially on ladder. Games like this are the reason we find this game so fun. Please give these games a watch and me a chance. (Again) Follow me on twitter @LtAscott, also I am on twitch and will do some replays on my stream if i get over 50 followers! (I dont have a great computer right now, my gaming rig died and I am using a gifted computer so I am unable to really live stream with quality). If anyone enjoys these games or becomes a fan with a better computer who would be willing to cast, stream and make videos of my games and perhaps requested Build vs Build or other fun theorycraft matches, send me a private message! I would love to share/help to succeed and personally succeed in becoming a benevolent (and POPULAR! ) "internet personality", drop me a line, i have a few more old WoL replays that are awesome and plan on saving many more! And now here comes the Come practice and chat with me in channel LtAscott on the NA server, crush me, make me rage! A man can win a thousand battles without ever learning a single thing, but that same man can lose a single battle and learn a thousand things. Check back next week for a few more replays (from HOTS!) BTW every game I lose I now replay in the replay until I win so there! even if u win u dont win NeRd RaGe (alternating Upper-and-lower case letters makes me rage )
Thank you and see you SOON!
