Sunday, May 17th at the Samsung Experience. Check-in at 10:30 and tentative end time at 8pm

WCG guy hasn’t emailed me back to confirm but I’m sure he will soon ;) In any case I have flights booked already. AFAIK it’s just SonKiE and me at the moment.

some tough people to beat! looks like my first problem will be technoboy

a common element in strategy games–such as warcraft, chess, life–is the need to balance opposing, but no-less-important interests. for instance in chess, while you are preparing your attack, you must equally be aware of your opponent’s attack and if necessary, make the appropriate maneuvers to defend against it. in warcraft, what I have been struggling with lately is the need to fortify my bases and the need to tech quickly to prepare for the late game.

specifically speaking, I’m having trouble with Undead. it seems like unless you make thirteen-plus towers you can’t defend a tier 3 push.

in other news, I lost to strifecro in ICL after randoming to human on Echo Isles and that was sad. DH/naga, archer, talon, aaaggh. what can hu dew ._.

there is a curious situation in life that arises with the realization that one would have been better off had one done nothing

I quit. My view is that things in life should be done decisively, so I’m done. I’m assuming I won’t fall under rank 20, if I do I might play more just for the beta key but I’m done with trying for top 6.

ted did something interesting in this game vs tod:

had acolyte aggro creeps prior to tod’s arrival to have the ogre cast bloodlust (and I guess make the creeps more annoying in general) .. this is probably nothing new but it’s the first time I’ve noticed it

Watch LAPT Mar del Plata S2: Travis Pettey PokerStars Player on PokerStars.tv

and if i’m not in a good mood when i wake up i may just quit.

anyone have topics they want to discuss?

I’ll just spit out some drivel on random stuff in this post.

I’m having a hard time vs glaive strats.. dunno what the hard counter is (or any good counter).

Back to MK for mirror; panda is too hard.

I don’t know how to beat orc anymore, because the old tier 2 push just doesn’t work. I think maybe you have to expo at tier 2 now? Orc tier 2 is kind of strong =\ In the 2009 tournament ladder I’m just winning cause there aren’t any really good orcs, lol. I’m like forcing an expo every game with Archmage and winning like that…

I’ve started scouting on LT in mirror. I scout the first clockwise location and build a farm with the scout peasant.

I gain more exp by not playing.
