    Man, I've always played Terran but it feels so easy to be aggressive with Protoss. Early game Terran aggression feels harder to pull off for me. Then again Protoss just feels more natural to me, not sure why. Ugh! :(

    That was what I loved about WoL TvP. If I didn't want to play vs Storm I didn't have to, I could just play so that the game was over one way or the other before HTs ever hit the field.

    ugh
    I have the worst nerd hangover right now

    my eyes are killing me
    my gut feels twisted
    and I feel like a dirty rag that's been used to clean that thing sticking to your car's bumper

    although I did have a couple of beers last night, this feeling isn't because of that


    it's because I was up past 7 am playing vidja games and I woke up at 11 am

    Last TLMC was mostly amateurs. Now this TLMC:

    o_O

    Going to be lucky to get out of the first round with this amount of pros.

    Excellent. If my opponent no-shows, then I'm playing IM_Seed in the second round.

    EDIT: Sorry, I mean the winner of Sonder vs. IM_Seed. Anything can happen, right?

    Out in the second round as expected. Except to Sonder (whom is actually in Western Wolves) instead of Seed!

    Some of these maps are pretty swank. Played on a semi-island map (destructible rocks blocking paths to your opponents base) and a lava rising map.

    EDIT: If I had not forgotten a guy in gas in game 2 and then did some swanky cheese in game 3, I would've ended up playing leenock in round 3. >_<

    reading some of the blizzcon preview stuff on TL, started with MVP

    this was awesome

    "Many say that Mvp is the most like Flash among all the SC2 players, and that comparison is fair if you are just counting championship. But it doesn't take into account Mvp's greatest quality: overcoming adversity. Mvp is Boxer in 2004, Nada in 2006, and July in 2008. He is the old champion who shows that class—an intangible, poorly defined, quasi-mystical quality—truly is a thing, and that it is truly is permanent. "

    he was never the terran I called my favorite but if he was to win blizzcon this year... how incredible. can't help but hope for it.

    He's not playing it again.

    I can't tell if he's just lost ability to deal with tension and needs to get on anti-anxiety meds or if he was super hamming it up.

    Either way, disappointing. His The Dark Descent playthrough was so fun to watch and this time it was all "OH GOD OH GOD" *jump back and put his feet up and cover his face*

    Pretty bad.

    Well my macro has improved to the point where I now feel like I am playing a game about war instead of a strange version of Sim City where after X minutes my city is destroyed. :D

    More importantly, I am feeling far more in control and comfortable with keeping track of stuff. This not only is making me play better of course, but making the game VASTLY more fun for me. Before it felt so hard to keep up with everything and it felt awful, wasn't any fun. My APM is still around 50 though, and even if I spam clicks like a maniac or play super intensely, I've never gotten above 75. I don't think I am physically capable of anything more really, I just can't move my hands that fast without hitting the wrong keys and stuff. D:

    Edit- Also watching Avilo's stream and man this guy has a bad attitude. He keeps getting the same guy on ladder and losing. His excuse? The other guy isn't out playing him, he's a bad who's just abusing build orders. So I have to ask, why would you not take the opportunity to learn how to beat whatever he is doing? SC2 doesn't seem to have any balance issues SO bad that a given cheese or strategy cannot be overcome. Instead calls opponent a retard and noob lolololo and then gets owned. This guy is in Grand Master too! Wow.

    @Kambing or anyone else who streams

    My mouse clicks are getting picked up by my mic and they're very loud and noticeable on stream. Any advice for cutting down on that?

    Okay, so Halloween in Seoul is pretty fucking insane.

    My friends go to go to Incheon and Hongdae last weekend and it was apparently insane. They swore up and down I missed Halloween last weekend, but i knew that Halloween being on a Thursday wouldn't matter. There was plenty of Halloweening going on this weekend.

    I went to Gangnam for the first time, wearing a Gipsy Danger bomber jacket. They told me in Gangnam you will lose your soul, and that at six in the morning there will still be people entering clubs.

    Apparently the signature song isn't Gangnam Style, but another song that chants Yeoja yeoja yeoga (women women women!) But I didn't hear it. Anyone have that song?
