Props man ! I'm not sure even after reading the op 2 times, what's watson is about exactly... But if that can help you i'm deaf.
Pisses me off to no end when there's DT involved or nukes, but fortunately that doesn't happen often.
Trying to play competitively (was in national team for a very short period of time in sc1 but that's about it), but to be honest it doesn't feel like a(n?) hindrance at all.
If Watson is more about sociability and community than working at home within our capabilities then i can only support it since that's exactly what makes us less depressed and gives the whole population a better view of what we're capable to, because they're underestimating us way to much.

Once again, props man. Maybe the next patches will give you a better grid customization to give you better controls but hey take my advice with a grain of salt

GL in the future man !

Had the interview and I think it went well

It was to determine whether Carleton will nominate for me for consideration by Watson. I collected a few videos (me playing, OSL Finals player entrance, a documentary that Mani sent me, etc...) and some links to show the size and dedication of this wonderful community, copied them to a few flash drives and gave them to the interviewers too so that they would have a chance to see what this is all about for themselves and they seemed really appreciative of it. Anyways, I won't know anything for a while but I'll let you guys know when I find out more

Thank you so much to all of you guys for the support and help. It means so much to me to have the community behind me!

I'm really glad you keep your chin up, if only everyone in this world were a bit more like you well the world would be a much better place. I really hope you make it far and find no limit to your skill! I really like your name also in my opinion I think it shows people that they shouldn't treat you any different then others, thus making them alienate you a bit, I might be wrong though. Anyways keep it up, you should have a youtube channel where it shows you playing maybe casting games also. I'll book mark this thread.

What the fuck, that's seriously impressive. Do you type using the keyboard, or speech-to-text? Hmm, I think with some programming magic that a speech-to-text API you could be balling out of control in no time. I think I'd hit up some programming forums, I'm sure you'd find someone who would want to mess around with speech-to-text. If you're even interested in playing by voice commands that is.

Nah, its a good thought but speech to text isn't my cup o' tea. I've got a love affair with my mouse anyway and I'm getting faster with every match I play. I've done speech to text in other capacities and found it kind of frustrating. It really was a good idea/suggestion though

i'm embarrassed to admit i was skeptical after reading the OP (TL has been burned before), but, like everyone else i'm really impressed after watching the video of you playing, and even more so by your attitude. GL!

It really does.
I bet you inspire a lot of people.
There must be some people that only watches because they think they can't have fun while playing.
Prove them wrong and make them happy!

Cheers!

oh shit you're from carleton, you know they have a huge SC community right? we've been playing against them in the CSL (collegiate starleague) for a while now, you should definitely check them out if you're looking for some noobs to pwn, as they have plenty

cannot believe you still cannot play games using a brainwave reading helmet. On a second thought, i guess not enough people would be willing/able to pay good money for its creation/production.

Here is Nom4d owning it up in CoD4, I know you know of him already but it's an inspirational video

I used to go to college with N0m4d and lived 2 floors above him for like 2 years, it was pretty impressive watching him play when we would hang out at his apartment. He even was able to do some modeling in 3DS Max.
