Stream is officially up!

I'm able to stream now! All thanks to my buddy Seummy. He generously lent me his computer for the time being. I will be streaming Super Street Fighter 4 AE v. 2012 PC Version more often. But as of now, I will be streaming DotA 2 just to keep the stream active. Plus, I enjoy playing DotA 2! :)

Here's the link:

Counter Picking ft. Sanford Kelly

I came across a video I found quite interesting and wanted to write about it. Here's the video:

For those of you who don't have time to watch it, Sanford Kelly summarizes his opinion on the East Coast scene. However, he mentions something that caught my mind: counter-picking.

NCR Final ft. PR Rog

NCR Day 1 was coming to a close. I lost to Clockwork in attempts to making it to Day 2. His Doom/Ammy combination was something I couldn't keep up with (and this is before he abused the team hyper combination with Doom/Ammy). I didn't make it out of my pools in KOF XIII or SFxT.

Day 2 was pretty eye opening for me. I had to play PR Balrog in winners. I decided NOT to study any of his matches the day before and it definitely cost me.

Here is the match against PR Balrog and I (courtesy of youtube.com/ShoryukenTube). The match started out okay, but went downhill from there.

NCR 10 Part 2

The next event was KOF XIII. I had recently picked up KOF XIII because it was a game I believed would help with my main game (Street Fighter).

I ended up not making it out of my pools and struggled against TC|TheBeast on stream against his Billy. Although I had no match-up experience against him, I gave him a decent fight.

NCR 10 Part 1

Hello everyone! I know... I know... It's been a long time since I've blogged, but I have a lot of experiences I have bottled up to share with you all. I'll start with NCR 10 in San Francisco, California.

Before I start I just want to say I haven't been writing for personal reasons. I had become so busy with school and work that I needed to take time off of writing. For example, most of my assignments were writing assignments that were to be submitted through online. After I would finish I didn't want anything to do with my computer.

Hello once again!

Hello everyone! I apologize for the lack of posts. Family, school, and work have been keeping me quite busy. On top of that, I've been practicing with the local scene (Fresno) quite a lot.
