I was watching the NASL yesterday, for those of you who don't know what that is its the North American star league.
Simply put, its the North American eSport version of basketball play offs or a football conference. the match in question was between two Protoss, VTKiwiKaki and oGsmc.
these two guys are well known for being incredibly good at playing their races in their respective home countries (mc -Korean KiwiKaki- Canada) however last nights match was a slaughter. mc completely had KiwiKaki on edge through out both games.
It was really frustrating to see someone like mc advance and possibly win the NASL. foreigners never have much luck in the GSL. That being the Korean equivalent of the NASL.
Watching a game like that really made me think about how big the skill difference is in the world.

Eyyy
New day moar ladderin!
at 9am I already got my 5 wins done, for awhile I was on a winning streak. I think I'm getting the hang of my build, just minor things I have to do get used to following it under pressure.
I took yesterday off so that means that I have an extra 5 wins that I have to make up :/
all this playing made me respect pro gamers more, I know that everybody seems to think their doing something they love, or that its easy to do what they do. But in actuality having to doing this day after day hour after hour would be bound to increase someones dislike for something.
It wouldn't be something they like anymore, I played for 2 hours won 5 games but lost 4 in the process and I already am going to take a break for a couple of hours.
mad props to those guys.

Sliver leaguing
First step I decided to make towards getting better at SC2 is win a mandatory 5 games a day. so far I've been keeping in check with this and actually haven't taken it that hard when I lose.
It used to get me so pissed whenever I lost, I'd shout IMBA or thats a pretty nice race whenever I'd lose but recently I've learned to take it in stride.
I figure every loss I get just helps me learn more, each match shows me a little something more that I can improve on.
Like Duckload-ra says
"No GG = no Skill"

NEW ISH
Been awhile since I've posted in this thing! time to change direction a bit and talk about something else I've really been meaning to do.
I've decided that since I already spend so much time playing SC2 that I might as well try to make some money off it and thats what I'll do!
I already signed up for a tourney just to gauge where I'm at, from now on I'mma talk about SC2 Strategy and some things that really irk me about the game in general.

ambiguous
Its been a whole semester since I've been written in this. The semester flew blew, lots of memories were made, good ones as well as bad ones. I've recently started talking to someone whose made me want to do more with my life.
I notice that the more we talk, the more and more I want to do so I can share that with her.
Recently though we've gotten more and more close, and I feel like shes suddenly starting to pull away.
I don't know how to feel, I understand her point of view but I don't want to lose everything we've built up to now.
She's an amazing person, and without a doubt I know its my insecurities that are most likely making me see more into this situation than there really is.
all I know is, I have to complete this list of goals for myself
Complete a summer EMT program
volunteer at a Hospital
work as a patient transporter
time will tell what happens with me and her, but I won't let go

Week one
Finally back at school and things have been a little hectic. I'm still not sure what to expect this semester, the grade break down for the classes are pretty bad and everything is heavily weighed. Nothing to do but to go all out on them.

Break
Haven't updated this in awhile, mainly because I'm on break. Its a new year and I'm very motivated for this upcoming year.
I'm aiming for a 4.0 and I'm trying to be involved in as much stuff as I can. I realized that theres a bunch of classes I have to now that I looked at the required ones for UIC (my 1# choice) I'm not too sure how thats going to work out but I'm hoping for the best. Just one more week til I go back, I'm definitely going to miss home.
