Get smarterer today.

Some stuff you should check out today.  My plan is to just chill and watch these streams and sneak in some 1v1's (played 5 already....not doing great lol 2 - 3 so far).

2 Grand Masters players from Team Liquid are coaching live on the stream for 12 hours today starting at 1:00 est.

All aboard the Fail Drop!

Ladder Anxiety

Had a hard time with my new key bindings....so much so that I swtiched back to my old ones lol Good night in the trenches though I won 4 and lost my last 1. The last game was Protoss (your hero) vs. Zergt (the bad guy). He 9 pools. I scout and have a forge and cannon up before he gets to my base (yeah me!) I tried to cannon the bottom of his ramp but his 2nd wave of zerglings hit just in time to destroy the cannon just before it finished.

Gonna switch up my hotkeys a bit. I'm realizing I just kind of use them in order of what I use instead of what is most convinient / accessible when needed etc.

Right now I have

1 Nexus(s)

2 Scout / drop ship

3 Main Army

4 Robo Bay

5 Stargate

W warpgates

I envison something a little more fleshed out like

1 Army Composition #1

2 Army Composition #2

3 Army Composition #3

4 Robo Bay

5 Stargate

6 Scout / Drop Ship

7 All Nexus

F1 Nexus #1

Annnnndd I'm a big fat liar face. I've changed my mind and I'm not going to be playing Zerg. I read a couple of articles today that basically changed my mind and told me "you want get any better flip flopp'n around - stick to a race and learn it well!" so that's what I am going to do. Kind of reminds me of the Chinese proverb that says

"If you chase two rabbits, both will escape."

I'm gonna stick with my Protoss rabbit and let the other one go :)

Zerg Week!

I'm going to just play and watch and learn Zerg play this week.

First up......the 6 pool lol  

Ahhhh doooood your keys are soo hawt!

Another NaNiWa update (you’ll all hate NaNiWa by the time I’m done lol). NaNiWa has been picked up by team Complexity Gaming. Complexity has an interesting SC2 team composed of Ryan, rsvp, CrunCher, ryze, drewbie, minigun, CatZ, TriMaster and NaNiWa. They have some good players but I don’t know if they have quite broken through at many tournaments yet. A player of NaNiWa’s prowess could/should help Complexity break through at some tournaments.

So I had the Star Blog already to go last night - I hit submit and then I got a message about using HTML tags that were not permited and it booted me back to a blank blog :(  It was late and I was tired....so I went to bed duh.    Anywho - I'll try not to break any HTML tagging rules here......I still don't even know what I did wrong lol
