A little bit of a different post

for you guys today. 

I just want to give you all the advice to check out the stream of is.jEcho (jEchoTV). It's simuliar to GL.Snute Stream where I adviced you to check him out. It must be common for "newer" or "unkown" Streamers to care alot more about their viewers. He even has an hour of free replay analyzing with skype calls in the mean while = D - I really love him x3 I hope you enjoy him too!

Crawling back

into my old shape... kinda

My way to getting back my skill is actually harder than I expected. I am currently trying to fix my ZvP with CarLM who is a british GM MMR Protoss. 

Well what am I supposed to say.. at least he is nice to me -_-
It's not just my gameplay in general that is shit at the moment, especially Protoss is f*cking me up quite badly.
I don't understand the dynamics of ZvP at all it seems.. It came to a point where a Protoss killed me with a 200/200 2-based max army after I killed his Main, Natural and Third. So I asked CarLM for in depth practice session. Well - as you can see in the picture - I did not do so well I guess..
Anyways! I am taking a huge amount of my day to play Starcraft II at the moment and I am trying to sort out my ZvP maybe I can win future games in the Ladder and in tournaments again and get back into my old rythm~
By the way I never was so furstrated in Starcraft 2 ever. My mechanics hold me back so badly. Playing against CarLM made me realize that I am not even close to being good at Starcraft at all. I always thought that my mechanics would at least be decent but they aren't at all. I quickly get frustrated because I know what to do but my hands are not capable of doing the proper things. It feels like I am hold back by boundaries.
I hope I can get back soon and I'll try to post more often.

I am truely sorry

for not posting the last couple of days

I am going to be honest to you guys and say that I wasn't into starcraft lately I played alot of different games such as Assassins Creed Revelations (which I wanted to play since release but forgot about 'cause of Starcraft 2) and World of Warcraft. I stumbled over the Mist of Pandaria Streams on Twitch and my old passion was renewed.
I instantly patched my old WoW files and started the game and I have to say it's really nice to play WoW again but I can't play it without getting too addicted. I see all these random scrubs that think they're all mighty and such but in reality it's just the really easy content that made them capable of clearing the content. Long story short my account expired and I am focusing on Starcraft II again.
I hope you are not too dissappointed to not see a new post in such a long while but I hope it's still okay for you!
Thanks if you are still reading if you do.
(By the way if I - somehow o_O - will actually start playing WoW again you can add me as currently on Azshara EU (maybe I am going to trans if I am actually going to be a little more active in Cataclysm)
Nawti (Mage 85 PvP)
Coerca (Rogue 85 PvP)
Deminoz (Druid 82)
Xèon (Warrior 85 PvP)
notice I haven't been playing since Cata came out except first 2 weeks so...)

Another important thing I want to draw your attention to is...

Operation Sharecraft. As with World of Warcraft I stumbled over this stream of @Athenelol . I watched him first with the age of 14 and I did not understand his ironic and sarcastic way of entertaining so I hated him. Now - with a little bit more *euh* .. "wisdom??" ... - I am capable of understanding. Anyways Athene is gathering 1.000.000 Dollars for the Kids from the Horn of Africa. The area is suffering the worst hungercrisis in history and he decided - without any revenue for himself - to support those kids. He streams frequently (19-23 o'clock (at least)) and host events for World of Warcraft. I just want to try to give him at least a little shout out.

The ladderseason has come to an end

....and I am going to review it from my pov!

I started of the season by getting into Mastersleague and I was quite happy about that but ever since I was scared by the magical Win/Loss display which affected my play alot in the beginning. I didn't want to reveal my noobyness and I kept that mindset up untill now. I hit the ladder way too few times which is really sad 'cause I wasted alot of time. I don't really care anymore about my Win/Loss. All that actually matters is how good I am and that's the first thing I learnt in Season 6 (???).
I also learnt what to focus on whilest playing. I did really lose because of small tiny mistakes which sucks really bad and I learnt that playing ladder is the best training and it is a "must do" in order to improve.

My Maps

(click to enlarge)

After putting a veto on Cloud Kingdom at first it turned out to be my best map by Win percentage. What's quite the suprise for myself is that Metalopolis is my worst map (Shattered and Korhal are on veto). It's probablly because everybody is hating on that map and goes instant allin on that map. (Translated Maps: Cloud Kingdom, Taldarim Altar, Antiga Shipyard, Shakuras - Plateau,  Metalopolis, Shattered Temple, Korhal Compound)

 My Matchups

(click to enlarge)

Something went wrong.... Protoss... my....best Matchup? o_O 
That's just strange. Somehow I managed to lose alot against Terran eventhough it was used to be my best matchup with 70% win. I don't really think that I got worse in my ZvT it's just that Terrans are way more cheesy in the Masterleague. There are alot of different allins and playstyles which totally confuse me and, not to forget about that, my lategame is ultimately retarded. I usually try to avoid the T3 Broodlord tech 'cause I throw away alot of games at that stage.
I personally dislike the creation "GGLords" for me it should be "PLEASEDROPMEDEATHLords".
It's definitively a huge thing I have to improve on in order to become a solid player.
Another really important thing is to keep my cool and stop throwing away games such as an outmassing protoss on two base. (-_-)

 Rather unimportant stats

This graph is showcasing the Larvaespawningratio and the gap in between the injects and - as you can see - I got worse at it. My spawning larva is another point to improve on.

This graph is showcasing the improvement of my APM to an average of around 210.

 My Ladderpoints

The seasons is not entirely over yet but I still think that I did end the season with reasonable amount of points. I am hopefully capable of hitting the 800 pts. Mark by the end of this Season since I still have approx. 10 days left and vacation!

I still have alot of work to do and I am aiming for atleast playing high Master people in the next season and I am going to put alot of effort into it in order to fufill my goal!
Thanks for your time! Myu

New social Networks

grrrrrrrrrr!

(click to enlarge)

I am a big fan of music and I used alot of grooveshark before it was banned for the german society. ('cause the german government wants us to pirate instead of listening to music that at least get's some revenue ^_^)
I was looking for a proper radiostation or programm to listen to some awesome music (since downloading every song is pretty darn exhausting). Though BBCRadio1 is a great station it's not what I wanted; I wanted to have a programm that's just like grooveshark.
My friend DT | Roaky told me to check out Spotify! It's almost as awesome as grooveshark still there is not as much music available to listen but it's okay since you are capable of adding music from your PC and download them on to another PC if you want to listen that playlist.
Anyways I wanted to share my new social media with you guys. I made a LastFM.com account for you to check out my current music and maybe (in the future sometimes somehow maybe?!) when I'll be capable of streaming you can check out the music in real time!

Hi I am still alive I was just

...pretending to ski in Italy!

I hope you guys did not lose interest in me 'cause neither did I. Eventhough I have to recover from this exhausting ski trip and I have to redo all the stuff my classmates did in school while I was skiing a new opportunity opened up!
As I stepped outside of the bus - that brought us home from italy - and my computer got turned on I realised that all my old clanmates had a different tag infront of their names. My first thought was "well.. my old clan had disband.. that kinda sucks.."
I tried to get someone to talk to since I wanted to find out what the meaning of "DT" was. Finally I recieved an answer from our (ex) intern caster Dystopia. He wrote (translated from german into engl.) "Well DT means TeamDieTrying all of our players joined over to the new clan!".
- Well what are the chances of me gettig into that team since I am low master and I am not in good  shape since I was on vacation? 
At that time I was getting kinda disappointed and I desperately tried to find my old leader to talk to.
After a short nap (since I was kinda tierd after that long trip from italy to germany) I cought my old leader and he told me the whole story!

Team Proxy emerged with Team DieTrying in terms of we (Proxy) have the players and them (DT) having the organisation behind it.
What does that mean? I - as a Player in their MAIN SQUAD (here is the news) am just playing while my new 'leaders' and 'orgas' are providing us with ClanWars, a shop w/ clanshirts, a beautiful homepage, a teamspeak and an IRC-Server and much more!

For me that means NEW MOTIVATION AWWWWW YEAAAAHHHHWWWWW....

Yeah I arrived savely at the end of the piste!

I am not for no reason in that clan and I have to prove myself since my form is not that great at the moment. Without the help of my former leader I would not be able to get that chance so now I have to return the favor!

And before I forget I want to provide you with a beatiful picture of our trip!



I hope you still enjoy my writings and I hope you stay tuned for more since I will be posting more.


I want to thank you for this awesome opportunity TeamDieTrying.de and I hope I have a deserved spot!

That's it yours DieTrying.Myu!

The setting of a new goal!

Since I've reached the obvious maingoal of my blog already (hitting the masters league) I am kinda.. aimless right now. I don't have any goal to play for and because I don't have an aim my amount of games is actually beeing none right now. I had no motivation to get out of my slump. That's why I am going to set myself a new goal and try to suprise myself - in terms of how good I am - and to get back into the game! (Hopefully)
So here we go:
I just hit Masters a couple of weeks ago so I don't aim for something ridiculous regarding points but I want to be able to say "I am a 700 - 800 points Zerg on the European Ladder" by the end of this March. I think it's a reasonable goal to hit and it is going to get me new motivation because right now I feel like I don't belong into Masters since my win / loss and my games still look as shitty as they looked one month ago.
---------------------------
New aim of my SC II Journey!
goal: hitting at least 700 points (since ladder isn't as developed as it's used to be - new ladderseason and such - playing against 700 - 800 points players or have even points - around 500 by the time would be right - is also enough to reach the goal on the european masterladder with my Zerg
borders in terms of time: ~18th of march (since I am going to go skiing - at least I try to - at the 19th of march for one week and after I come back my skill will be gone)

-> 16 days left including 1 and 1/2 weekend
-> I will play an approx. amount of 5 hours a day (at school days)
-> 3 days for studying // 7 days left a 5 hours 
-> 35 hours in total in the week ~ approx. 70 games
PLUS 
-> two weekends ~ 8 hours of playing
= around 160 games -> around 80 wins should be able to get with a 50/50 win loss
