Okay, so this is the first time I'm attempting to blog and I'm sure i'm gonna suck at these first few posts. I ask you all to bear with me while I struggle with this.
A few months back my friends were all getting into this little well known game called StarCraft 2. I had heard about it since I was invited to the beta. (To answer questions now, I didn't really play in the beta because well I had no idea what the hell I was doing). Since I didn't understand it then I really didn't see the point in buying it upon release. Fast forward to a few months ago and I figured well why not, I'm getting kind of bored with WoW and my friends play. And though they play my key friend in really getting me like SC2 is Amy.
Amy is that awesome friend who is so passionate about things that you can't help but be infected with curiosity about them. She introduced me to the Day[9] daily, reddit and team liquid. Then my first big tournament to watch was IPL 3 (which was amazing to see all of these pro players) but the biggest one for me was MLG Orlando. After seeing these players and learning more about them I found myself having people who I really liked watching play and would cheer for. I can say that after MLG Orlando I was pretty much hooked. It was like hell yea! Star Craft 2 baby! Don't get me wrong, a lot of people I know say watch Day[9] daily #100 in which Sean talks about his life in starcraft. Yes, I will admit it gives you so much insight to how people really care for this game and what it means to so many but something about watching the tournaments is just sooo much more amazing to me. =D
As I said earlier, i decided yes this it what I'm going to do! I'm pumped! Then it came down to what race to play. Amy suggest Terran since they were the easiest, so I played them for a bit and man did I suck. Plus seeing Protoss was like OMG!!!! They're so pretty and shiny!!! (I'm pretty sure I have undiagnosed ADD). So Amy being the amazing friend she is suggest I play them. And I was so happy seeing how pretty they are that I didn't care how bad I sucked. I would win a few games against the AI but nothing major. So I've switched back to Terran but I hoping to learn protoss and zerg eventually. ^.^
The hardest part for me so far has been trying to motivate myself to play while going back to school, working full time and well also looking into a new job. But all in all I'm excited to see where this all heads out for me in the wonderful world of SC. I know this blog is a little well spastic and goes probably sounds like me rambling. So i'll fix another post soon when it's not almost 2 in the morning. =)
