Korea~ here i come again
Earlier i had to play vs Protois in Extreme Masters, i improved my game alot against Undead earlier which costed me to become quite bad vs Elf T_T so i was rather confident i could win, but Protois is a very particular player, can play more than 1 race and has a good vision of the game so he gave me a quite hard time in both games.

Last monday i went to Paris for the premiere of "Supreme Commander" a new RTS game coming out early 2007. The presentation of the game was quite nice and also the testing part of it which took place in the first floor of the eiffel tower. I hadnt been there since i was a kid so i took the trip on the 3rd floor and took a whole bunch of pictures. Eiffel tower was nice, i was rather amused by the fact that 80% of the people were Japanese , mostly being group of young girls~

Anyway i knew i was probably gona go again to Korea soon last time i left and i was right ! i will be leaving to Seoul on this Friday 17/11! gona be a long trip! I'm really looking forward to it funwise, as in Clubbing and meeting friends. Today morning i went to the Chinese embassy again to make my visa so i couldnt watch the game Zacard vs Moon, but when i came back i saw that the score is 3/0 in the favor of Moon, and i was pretty surprised , i thought it was gonna be a close game.

I think it's a pity that i have to face an Elf in such a match, my shape vs Elf lately has been quite bad and my motivation is close to none to practice more vs em. Elf vs Human pretty much disgusts me of this game right now , every time i play it i lose more motivation to keep on practicing. Me vs Zacard would have been so much more interesting in my opinion, i practiced with him before he played Rainbow and the games were close always and pretty nice i thought.

Now i'm prolly going to lose hard, dont know if i should bother practicing for it.
I got an Extreme Masters match against ElakeDuck tomorrow and at that's a match that im looking forward to much more than my WWW match, even if Duck likes to hit&run with raiders alot it should be more fun than playing vs Elf. I didnt practice particulary much lately, i took rank #1 on Northrend with a winstreak of 44 games currently, played a few cgs aswell vs Phreak, Kiwikaki and Ciara but not many games.


My acc on Northrend.

I'm really looking forward to all my upcoming trips, on the 24/11 i will be flying directly from Korea to Sweden for the BNET finals. Then shortly after i will be going to China along with SaSe with whom im going to be looking for an appartment in Beijing.

More to come ! ~

edit1:
Lost 1/2 to ElakeDuck ...... got rank #1 and #5 Northrend didnt think i was gona lose this, but then .... it happend .... he made mass raiders and cliked on my heroes and won ... got so freakin angry for losing to this guy. He played poker almost all the time lately and beat me almost "easily", wheres the payback for all the practice i put up ? why is HU vs ud the endless fight vs destroyers, HU vs elf is DH chasing archmage then mass bears and nowdays HU vs orc is mass hero kill ? why is wc3 such a dumb game sometimes ? well i'd like to know. I see many people saying im not in shape , well i dont think that's true, 45 games win streak in ladder isnt nothing and i do ok results in practice too. I was confident for a game in which i lost ... I'm not confident to face Moon or for BNET playoffs nor for IEST ... really wonder how iam gona do there.
Ho yeah i requested ESL to remove me from Extreme Masters, im sick of having to negotiate/fight with Players/Admins for so freakin long to finally schedule a game for when i would like to play it, aswell as being forced to play with a different color than the one i usually use which can affect our game and is constantly being asked by giga-tv, and as im going to China soon i probably wont be able to play vs Europeans with decent lag anyway so that's pointless.

edit2:
Arrived in Korea earlier, Saturday morning, went to my hotel to drop my luggage then i headed to a pc cafe where the blizzard seasonIV finals were taking place, i met many friends there and watched the games. Went back to hotel and went to sleep at around 7 as i was dead tired.
This morning i woke up at around 5, and i thought none would be up but FoV was, we played some rdm/rdm then some 2's, i was in my hotel and he at Lucifer's home, then we both left at around same time to the pc cafe were seasonIV was held, when i arrived all the players who were playing today were already here, except for ReiGn. I gave some advice to ShowBu about what i thought what was best to do vs ud on certain maps but he lost 1/2 =[

In the end the final ranking today was:
1.Lucifer 2.Sweet 3.ReiGn 4.FoV 5.ReMinD 6.ShowBu , SuSiria didnt qualify and was pretty upset about it i think i tried to cheer him up today but didnt seem to be doing too good at it =/
Lyn didnt qualify either and took it with a smile, still was joking around alot the entire day just as much as if he had won, at one point i even said "all players who lost are going home but you stay !!" to tease him and he answered with a big smile "ME GOOD MIND !!" haha that was funny.

In the afternoon i went to do a photoshoot in a studio for W3, along with Moon, we made alot of fighting positions, first alone, then together and it was pretty hard not to laugh when we were suposed to look at each other in the eyes and look pisst, we kept on laughing, and we made it, it wouldnt be for too long, i was watching his face holding himself from laughing and kept bursting into laughs sometimes was funny :)

As i got done with the photoshoot i went back to MBC hero center which is the name of the mbc studio in the coex mall, ReMinD was killing ShowBu pretty hard on TR, i joked alot about Elf for a change, claping my hands everytime ReMinD staffed a bear :D
Then FoV played ReiGn and they were gona play HUvsORC then ORCvsHU but Blizzard orgas didnt let em, they wanted em to play for real , and UD vs UD, so they played UD/UD but agreed on going 2crypt every game. ReiGn won 2/1.
In final i dont think they agreed on anything but i dont think Sweet was particulary trying, went a funny bo, 2crypt first then zigurat and altar, firelord first game vs Lich, cryptlord second game with impale, vs darkranger and he lost 0/2.

When those games were finished we all went to eat together with Sweet ReiGn Lyn Showbu Lucifer ReMinD FoV EVE and Susiria. When we finished eating they all wanted to go home so they went to the subway and i went for some shopping by myself, bought a Levi's jean for like 180 000Krw, and a Fubu shirt for like 70 000krw, then took subway to Yeoksam and walked to my hotel =) Tomorrow im suposed to be going to a theme park called Everland, suposedly second best theme park in Korea, i'll take many pictures if i can, i'll be geting a usb cable for my cam tomorrow normally, so i can put many pictures and videos up !

Also i noticed many people come here to talk shit or badly to me or create arguments in comments so i decided that any agressive comment will be deleted, i wont argue unless i feel like it, and to those people who keep on thinking that i play for the spectators i wanna tell you something , i play for the people who know to appreciate my games and to respect in which conditions i like to play. Those who dont like me should feel free not to watch my replays and not to read my blog.

edit3: GOT A CABLE FOR MY CAM TODAY!!!!!!!!!! thx to Crystal ~! loading 169items from my cam on my comp atm lotsa good stuff to come !

God! u'd rather play against the hit&run raider tactic than Elf?

Practice more, and u'll find the way to beat Elf, :< tho i love Elf.

Find an appartment with central heating, cause the winter in Beijing is quite cold, it would be more expensive, but the air conditioner is not enough.Hope u can bear the terrible weather in Beijing.

Gl in VS Moon~

Hey your WCG blog entry is still missing ;-)
It is quite disappointing for your fans, if you don't train that much versus Moon. Anyway GL vs Duck. May your motivation vs elf come back, otherwise you shouldn't have acceptec WWW... Would be great for us seeing some entertaining matches. And you can beat Moon!

I hope you train hard for Moon, it'd be good to see some close matches...or to even see you win! No point in hating NE when you have to play them all the time. As a pro, you don't really have the luxury of brushing off certain matchups, in my opinion.

Either way, good luck! BTW, your bnet accounts are always amazing.

Yep, it's true, wc3 is very hard for hu... and the mu's are always the same...
I hope for a map revolution adding 2 or 3 new maps and throwing maps like TM or TR that are always the same shit...

Go ToD, show them what you can do!

Your attitude is one deserving of failure. Try looking at your play instead of the aparent imbalance of every race except yours.

Agreed. Look at Sky's attitude and his results with the same race as yours. Perhaps your big game approach is not that good. (Or I guess you are faking so that Moon doesnt know your true shape, I dunno :)) Anyways GL!

i think there must be already too many people tell u to use the Sky-style when
u face Elf, u may have already bored of such suggestions.But i still think it
may work, never allow Elf gather bears more than 3, just to be more aggresive~

The payback of ur practice would never belong to anybody else, it waits for u
somewhere far or near,early or late.

i bet u win in VS Moon, or i eat my favourite shoes.;P cheer up~

I apologize to you ToD for saying that you're lazy. You have been diligently practicing on ladder (and owning everybody in the process). When you said "my motivation is close to none", you were talking about nelf only and not WC3 in general...I misunderstood that.

Anyway, keep your head up, you're still elite. Good luck bro!

Tod you could be Swiss. We are never confident as you are. Please stop complaining about every single thing! You always search excuses for your losses but you think it's never you, who did something wrong... . Just give your best and you will do well and stop complaining.

As a spectator I'm sick and tired of players that blame losses on imbalance or choice of color. If you are a professional it should not matter which color you are playing to you and you should feel obligated to provide people watching you with the best experience.

If you can't make compromises on scheduling or color choice you are mixing having an inflated ego and being professional.

as progamer im sick of spectators thinking they know something about what doing this job is like. I feel obligated to try to play as best as i can, i dont play for you i play for myself, for my own joy, if you dont like it , it's still the same for me.

The very best Starcraft players in the world are around 70% win only in their pro leagues.

You have to handle the fact that you are going to lose. Koreans who are MILLLESS better than than anyone else at SC still lose matches to Europeans. Hell Tossgirl beat Yellow at SC even.

If you want to get back at those NE try learning UD ;D

Hey ToD,

nice to read sth. again from you - but we're still waiting for WCG entry ;), hope you will find the time to write it.

To your loss vs. E-Duck and your feelings towards elves: What about widening your strategical repertoire ? like Towerrushing - which is VERY popular among german Humans. Just having the opportunity to do so would give your opponent another headache to think about.

Hope you can maintain your motivation for this game - put your head up high and focus!

greetings
era

我觉得有必要让TOD明白一个道理,在ladder上总赢水平不如自己的人,对水平提高没有帮助,因为他可以轻而易举地打败他们,简单重复最多只能维持在原有水平

水平提高的标志是:今天的自己是否超越了昨天的自己,还有新的技战术改进的出现。

郑板桥有一首诗:四十年来画竹枝,日间挥写夜间思。冗繁消尽留清瘦,画到生时是熟时。”过程就是熟而渐悟。我们似乎可以窥见作为诗书画大师的郑板桥成长的道路和规律:他是在不断地“写”和不断地“思”中走过来的;他的“画到生时是熟时”,更道出了一切大师严谨的创作态度和不倦的创新……
