So my junior year of high school is almost over. It has been such a stressful time for me. I have had so many after school activities that I participate in. I am the varsity goalie for soccer, in theater, part of robotics, choir, and in the National Honors Society. In soccer, we made it to the district finals for the first time in school his...

I started to recall all the hours and wasted time I've spent playing these games. After reading an article about how video games affect health, I decided to take a two week break from all video games. I have gone much longer without playing video games before, but that was during times when I was extremely ...

It has been a blast, I have enjoyed sleeping in. I love the fact that I have nothing to stress over for two full weeks... Almost... The week before break, my english teacher decided to assign us with two projects. Our first was that we had to write a poem. Our group chose to write an epic, so we were having a lot of fun with it. After getting screwed ...

The reason is because in his most recent Funday Monday he said how he hates classic rock. He went on to bash one of my favorite songs, Free Falling. Now, I'm okay with people not liking classic rock, but in one of his previous dailies he said how he likes and respects Justin Beiber. Everyone has their own taste in music, but ...

I've recently come off of a 5 game winning streak, in which I stopped an all-in against a zerg, and beat a few protoss. My favorite game was the 48 minute macro game I played against a protoss player. I started off being very passive. I started to drop his 2nd and 3rd around the 15 minute mark, but nothing more than that. We spent most of the game ...

For about a month, I laddered as terran, but then I took a break for a week due to real like issues. When I came back to playing, I was even worse than when I started. I expected to be demoted when switching, but I was better winning 2-3 games out of 5. Sometimes I would go on a huge winning streak of 7-8 games, but after my week ... Tue, 10 Apr 2012 11:29:11 +0900 http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=327940 http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=318658 Rudolph I have finally done it. I switched to terran. I did this because I was bored with zerg to easily, and it was way to frustrating. With terran, I feel more free. I can branch out, I can do weird things and get away with it. With zerg, I feel everything is strict and you have to do everything to the letter. I've been wanting to switch for a while now. I've been going back and forth, but I didn'... Thu, 08 Mar 2012 12:53:37 +0900 http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=318658 http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=310486 Rudolph I haven't posted a blog lately, so I decided now is a good time. I've been doing really well in SC2 lately. I went on a really long losing streak, winning 1 for every 3 Iost. Now though, I just got off a 6 game winning streak and have won 14/20 of my games. I am rank 1 silver, and I have a 50% w/l against gold players. I recently lost to a gold terran after forcing a base race scenario. He j...

The past few days I played a total of like 3 terran. I beat all of them fairly easily. I'm getting more comfortable with infestors and broodlords now in all of my matchups. Of all the toss I played, I beat a majority of them. I'm getting used to the transitions into late game now, and I don't fear the ...

First, as usual I will talk about how I have been doing on the ladder. Things are going pretty well, I finally learned how to stop early aggression from toss, which usually wins me the game. I finally got transitions down also, so I don't always stick to roach/ling muta, but can now switch to infestor/broodlord kind of stuff, which is ... Tue, 17 Jan 2012 10:59:31 +0900 http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=303832 http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=301671 Rudolph No, this is not a blog talking about what games SC2 compete with, or what game is better etc. Over the past few days, I have been playing less and less of Starcraft. I play 2-3 games a day, down from 5-6. Today I only played one game. Starcraft two is competing for my time with other things. Two of them happen to be books. The first book is called Test of the Twins. It is the 3rd book of ... Mon, 09 Jan 2012 10:12:53 +0900 http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=301671 http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=300868 Rudolph Today was actually a very good day for me to ladder. I was on my A game! I won my first game easily, catching the terran players army out of position, I destroyed his greedy third base on Antiga Shipyard after destroying the rocks blocking it. I then proceeded to kill workers with my banelings at his second. After drawing his army to protect his third again, I moved in to his second and took...

But, I have won 6 out of my 9 games today and I am ready to share my experience! I'm going to start with bad news. Our friend, Fluffy, joined a skype call with Joraiem and I Monday night at 10:30pm. He told us that his mom is kicking him out of his house. He is moving in with his d... Thu, 05 Jan 2012 10:41:01 +0900 http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=300573 http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=299471 Rudolph The past few days I have been laddering to try and get promoted to gold. My ZvZ to do that is spot on, I rarely lose a game. The only problem is that my ZvP and ZvT is just horrible. While laddering, I keep facing zerg. I am happy and sad at the same time. These for me are really easy points to increase my ranking, which gets me closer to my goal. It upsets me because I really need to pract... Sun, 01 Jan 2012 06:43:44 +0900 http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=299471 http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=299057 Rudolph So today for SC2, I was going to ladder more and more. I ended up playing around 10 games, and playing a whole bunch of custom games. Laddering: I did decently today. I jumped up to division rank 5. I wanted to improve today on my ZvP. I did really well. I found a nice opener, but I still need to get better late game. All in all, I won more than I lost. I'm still dreading my ZvT as I am com...

If you haven't read my previous blogs, I suggest you do so! So here it goes, I started off today at 14 silver. I was very enthusiastic and confident after only two days of owning the game rise so high. I played around.... 9(?) games. I destroyed all the zerg I play, and losing to all my protoss. (only played one today) ...

First lets meet the members of the group: FluffyBL: This guy, so much to say about this guy. He introduced us to the brilliant game called Starcraft. He has an IQ of 170, or so he says. But, I would not doubt it. He is the best playe...

I am a fellow Starcraft player just like you. And today was my first day ever owning a SC2 account and playing on it. Now, before I begin, I will talk about my experience. I played Starcraft Broodwar, but I was horrible at it. I have played Starcraft 2 before at a friends house, but I never won. Today I received SC2, and I was ...

My friend, FluffyBinLaden, recently created a blog. We decided that I should make a co-blog thingy, so my advice is to read his blogs too. I play Starcraft BW, unfortunately my computer can't handle SC2 :(. So for now I will be telling my epic tales of Starcraft as I own and get owned by my friends. So stay tuned :) Sat, 16 Jul 2011 13:36:49 +0900 http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=244378
