Find the music..

...that fits your mood!
Heysen! Today I learned an important lesson and I'd like to share it with you! I was totally exhausted the whole day and I'd rather go to bed instead of loading up my Starcraft II which would have been a total waste of time! I can't allow myself to chill a whole day without reaching anything.
So, I was just about to lay down and a friend messaged me. He sent me a link to a song of temp0 and for no apparent reason my tierdness just disappeared and I was totally awake =).
I insantly opened up a new playlist with enough songs to make a sick laddersession!
Here is the link of the playlist called "nerdy as fuckz" filled with WoW-Machinema and SCII songs from temp0 :) enjoy

The mental Wall...

Well hello Ladys and Gens,
Okay I am about to start my todays laddersession but before I am able to press the Oh so mighty "FIND MATCH" button I have to break through my mental wall which is holding me back. Some might question theirselves: "What is a mental Wall?!". Okay, let me tell you. A mental wall is a certain circumstance or fact which hinders your play and or let's your skill stagnate. For example your desk.
I personally perfom very poorly / do not get motivated if my desk looks messy:

desk transformation

My desk has to look tidy (just like in the picture) to make a good performance. Another HUGE mental wall is my mental state. I often perfom better when I manage to make sport, take a shower, stand up early and style my hair before I play. It's just a matter of selfconfidence that increases IRL and ingame. Breaking through those mental walls is important to become consistend in Ladderpractice. The by far biggest mental wall is the fear of losing games. I find myself sitting infront of my PC doing totally nothig instead of laddering because I don't want to screw my 55 - 29 statistics.

The "FIND MATCH" button

Everytime I do it I could punch myself in the face. So I made a rule that everyone else can applie when you have the same problems..
Noone looks you up and says "you sir have an awesome statistic" if you aren't at least a Masterlevel-Player.
Just fucking press that button! I'll do it, too! I know it's hard to say "I'm playin at least 15 games today even if I lose all of them it'll be fine because I learned something." but you seriously have to do it to get any major improvements.

Just a little different....

Not only Starcraft...
will be posted on this Blog I will also mix it up with some nice music I am listening too at the moment.
I am open to any kind of music so don't panic of me only posting Drum and Bass / Dubstep because I won't!
First of all I'd like to share my "amazing" grooveshark with you!
In my freetime / during my laddersessions I listen to either K-Pop / Rap (Playlist: Click It! DO IT!)
or Drum and Bass / Dubstep (Playlist: CLICK DAD SHIT BRAH).
But let's get back to my topic: My song of the day is obviously:

MyU - Starcraft 2 Player

Mark my words...
I wrote about the basics but who I am and what I planned was not posted yet so BEWARE:
Name: Max
Age: 16
Race: Zerg
okay and now some usual sides where you are able to follow me and what I do:
Twitter (I use it alooooot) @maaaaaxenTT
Youtube: SC Game VoDs - / Starcraft Commentarys 
ESL: MY ESL-Profil
and ofc
SCII: nAughtyOnE#431 (If I have the money I'll make a new account with the name MyU)


~OKAY: This will also be the startingpoint of my Laddersessions. The VODs - Replays - the Progress will be uploaded to this BLOG. First of all my Ladder (recently went on a losing streak T.T normally I'm in 1st place ~ diamand level).

You see.. I'm that average kid crpling in the lower plat league.. so let's see how this evolves.
My first AIM is it to fucking get into the Diamondleague (Starcraft II Ladder is divided into 6 different levels: Bronze -> Silver -> Gold -> Platinum -> Diamand > Master -> (Grandmaster only Top 200)) I should be able to easily get into the Diamandleague 'cause the gap between Platinum and Diamand is pretty low - it's basically the same -.
My DEADLINE is the 29th October!

Starcraft 2 - How a Star is born!

Okay, let me tell you a story...
As I said in the previous post I am trying, - no building up - a career in the E-Sports scene and I also said that I picked Starcraft II as the game of choice. You've not gotten into the bann of SCII?! You sure should, you sure should.... First of all my close friend of mine, the one I played WoW with, talked me into it.. -.- thanks dude for screwing my Reallife! D=..

Okay anyways let's get back to the topic. Starcraft II is the new up and coming game in the big E-Sports brand. There are about 10 tiny cups a DAY where players play for 50€ up to 200€ (just like the Playhem Daylie-Cup Teamliquid Site of Playhemdaylie), a couple weekly cups (for example the GO4SC2-Cup from ESL [the Electronic Sports League] GO4SC2 Homepage) and even some really prestigieous monthly tournements like MLG (Major League Gaming) and the GSL (Global Starcraft League). These tournements are often connected with a huge offline (actually at the place the games happen) crowd and an even bigger online (on the streams of the certain event) crowd with around 50.000 up to even 100.000 viewers on the Championship Sunday (Semi-Finals + Finals) aswell as the GSL Grandfinal. The hype about SC II is bigger then ever expected...
There was a big fanbase for the predecessor (Starcraft Broodwar) in Southkorea which was considered to be insane. In Korea there is a TV-Channel just for Starcraft Broodwar eventhough the first release of the game was in 1998! This culture of E-Sportfanatics swapped over to the Europe with the big release of Starcraft II. The improved graphicsengine and the infrastructure of EU and NA allowed the game to get this popular. The culture that once was so strange is now soooo familiar.
In Stockholme (Sweden) they even meet for a regular session of Barcraft - a mixture of Starcraft and Bar - I have a picture from my Progamingfriend inFKaeru, photographing a bar watching SCII...

I think this is a fitting ending to this blog entry next up: my plans and my schedule
~ as always GG HF :3

The very beginning..

 Oh hai there, 

didn't see you comin. But hi and thank you for taking some time of your precious life.
First of all: What is this shit about? I heared about people who enjoy reading blogs and I have some really really big future plans to share with you

but before I am going to start I'll give you some basic informations.
I am an average 16 year old guy from germany with a really small fetish for korean lifestyle. That's probably the reason why I enjoy E-Sports so damn much. I'm not nearly as good and I don't (sadly) play nearly as much as I'd like too. The school is actually kinda holding me back at the moment. Visiting the 11th class is pretty "lifedraining". 

I'm addicted to videogames for really fucking long and since I realised that you can earn money in E-Sport my relation to competetive gaming has changed a whole lot. I used to play World of Warcraft. It's a MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Roleplay Game) - btw I am writing it out because I want to make my blog readable for everyone who is interested in the gaming scene just as much as I am but whos pretty much new - and i was addicted as F*CK! Me and my friends played it really really often, probably too often... but we had a really nice time and noone of us was ashamed to say "...I play World of Warcraft." our social community was always very tollerant with us playing WoW (shortening for World of Warcraft). But please do not imagine us as fat, dumb, pimply social retards 'cause we weren't. So I was in the onlinegaming scene for very long. I started WoW with the age of 13 and still managed it to get good marks in the "Gymnasium". And eventhough I was only 13 years old and had the voice of a little girl and the mind of a little kid (I'd write into the guildchat: "LOL I ONLY WANT GEAR FARMING AND THEN I'LL LEAVE BECAUSE I WANT TO HANG WITH MY FRIENDS") I managed to get in a major guild with the age of 14. WoW teached me to be mature, selfconfident and responsible. I was the Classleader [Mage] of a 25 men Raidguild which managed to get a couple of server firsts. It was hard especially when my "diciples" found out about my age =D. This confidence of finally speaking in Teamspeak - giving directions to ppl. who are averagely 10 years older - made me progress in school and especially in my RL. BTW I actually managed to find my old interface:3
After Playing WoW for about 3 years (we stoped because of the addon and school - both sucked :D) I played a whole lot of Call of Duty on Xbox but that was nothing really serious.. not as serious as wow.. to tell you more in detail about my CoD Montages would turn out to be a whole new story and I don't want to get of my topic.

I played games as long as I can remember. I grew up in a time where kids played, besides with the rather regular buildingblocks and toy cars, with gameboys. Yes, exactly, these 500kg big things which were called "Handhelds". So playing Need for Speed

The first f*cking GAMEBOY!

with my friends after coming home from playing "Hide and Seek" was pretty normal. But I figured that playin Videogames is just a bad habit like smoking and I'd have to stop playing if I wanted to actually become something in the future.

The moment I realised how big the E-Sport scene has grown ,since the early 1990s, and earning money / making a living of gaming is nothing unusual anymore made me think. Shall I give up my FAVOURITE thing in the whole world or should I still be playing in the future and try to go down the progaming route to become the best and beat the best, just like Ash from Pokémon Red and Blue?!
I decided that E-Sport should play (lol see that wordplay) a big role in my future and nontheless what I am doing (Progaming, Coaching, Casting or even managing an E-Sport clan) gaming should be a part of it!
Okay - Thanks for reading this far, stranger, I hope you enjoy my future posts about my "career" and my life.
