Introduction solicited from the man himself
Hello, my name is Chris ‘ostojiy’ Ostojic I am currently studying business at Western University (Canada) and dabbling in the art of professional gaming with the team It’s GoSu. I played Starcraft: Brood War since 2005 as a protoss player and Starcraft II as zerg since the beta. The main reason I switched to zerg is because I love the versatility of the race and the ability to switch between strategies quickly. I am the captain of Western’s Collegiate Starleague team that went on to win the inaugural CSL Canadian Championships and love playing the game both for fun and competitively. My other enjoyments include long walks on the beach and candlelit dinners.
I have been able to reach the top ladder ranking in North America many times with a very good winrate because of my consistency and ability to understand my opponents. I don’t think my mechanics or game understanding has given me as much success in my career as my ability to react to my opponents. This has given me exceptional results in the ZvZ matchup where predicting your opponent and extrapolating on a little bit on information will let you know how to tech and drone and ultimately win.
Besides my ladder results I have done well in several online cups/leagues, placed 2nd in WCS Canada, 7th in WCS North America, made championship bracket several times and pool play at MLG events, and attended many prestigious events such as the CSL All-Stars tournament, 2011 Battle.net invitational and Redbull Battlegrounds Austin. I have always struggled with nerves at LANs, especially against Korean players but I think when playing in WCS I was able to show my true skill since I was completely confident against my opponents.
