How long have you been training/playing PC Games?
I've been gaming for over 15 years now and learned quite a vast variety of skills. It's funny I say this considering when I first began my career, I was 13yr's old and I saved a large amount of money for that age, decided I was going to Texas, Mesquite to compete in the Quakecon 2000 the championship tournament. World Wide people from Fatal1ty, Zero4(My first lost in 7-0 run), LakermaN (Which I had the pleasure of practicing with in BYOC) and finally losing to SLK (Zero4's practice partner) how ironic is that?

Well let's get a bit more in-depth of the story, I GOT TELEFRAGED ON TOURNEY 2! with 200/200 vs his 200/200 What a way to get knocked out it was 2-1 pro-tourney2 at the time, and I had the game in lock down, but Luck prevails for my enemy.

I have run accomplished team's in Counter-Strike 1.6,Quake3,Starcraft BW,DOTA,WC3,WOW,Quake-Live, Playing in WCG was a feat in it's own, I could barley afford to go to the tournament and getting there was even more so of a problem. However I managed to make it and make my trip and ironically along the way, I see this random guy walking down the street with headphones/backpack so I decided to pick him up and take him the rest of the way to the "tournament" assuming he was going there of course he was lol! his nickname is well renown EnlargedTestie or Testie on east server. Lmao how random eh?

However I was attending for Quake3 at the time, and at my peak in my gaming and one of the most "avid" players at the time very strong player. Not so much feared due to my age "which was a nice feeling" because I was a strong contender considering the brackets and players, Dy-Syng,Rilla,Julios,Boodah,Hoax,Kuku,Ni3,Apostle,Test and many other names, I ended up playing against my I guess you could say mentor during the BYOC of the tournament dy-syng which I learned from when I was at the age of 13 I was in [xeno] and played as his teammate and lanned with many times.

So it was a nice comfort having him around and to train with however my lack of funding and not having a hotel this night was a bummer, considering me and boodah decided to take sweaters and abuse the "empty tables" and sleep on our own huge 24 foot tables. Wow what an crappy sleep 2 hours of sleep (I get woken up by my most hated enemy of gaming [xeno]Emplate (he was 500 pounds) and hated me lol (yet he recruited me to [xeno]) so yea....I refer to him as empty plate other than that he wakes me up and says I have 15minutes to warm up, so yea [xeno]Rilla with his 4hour warm up 2hours breakfast relax time and lol....The funny thing of it was day before this, me and rilla(Bruno) played for some fun.

And it's ironic to say that I think I beat him about 5-6 times, 3on ztn 2 on dm6 and 1 on t4 so easy to say that I was pretty confident going into this match. However due to lack of sleep my mind was set on loss. And what did i manage to do loose a match badly. That should have never been lost it's funny though the how I remember details so far back.

Even when I competed in a CS 1.6 Tournament at TFL in Toronto playing against a well known opponent shaguar,wiseguy,cbx,2 others in my first match of the tournament!?!?!?! and I am the leader of this team Pandemonium it's ironic because we managed to have the closest game and the conditions of the tournament were absolutely horrendous let me be clear about this....(Gay Pride week downtown Toronto temperature is 40degree's outside) it is inside a 30x30 room upstairs in a Toronto internet cafe with about 100 people packed inside and 20 outside smoking so they don't sweat there ass off inside the cafe.

Now picture this, it was so hot! I was in a muscle shirt and you could see the sweat dripping off me and my teammates more me then them however, considering my first comment when we started the tournament after spending 24hours up all night practicing at the cafe down the street.

(Getting a head start)

They say being tired affects your gaming. If you saw me play that game I swear having 50 people behind me shouting about what my next move is or what my next team command is to make. My game plan was on fire, our teamwork was so in sync it felt like we were moving as one. There were no flaws in our game 16-14 it comes down to on cpl_mill, in round 15 with 15seconds left I am hiding in T spawn with an AWP and full armor, deciding to save it out to hopefully win next round to tie it up, and they CHASE me into T spawn 5v1,

I decide I am angry frustrated and in control, and I yell to the crowd I am just going to no-scope them all....in "more less sarcasm however being the gamer I've always been and trained to be, I decided to actually no-scope 4 of them back to back doing 360-180 spins from each angle because they were
coming up on each side of me ironically "1 by one!" "Doesn't get any better then that lol....and as the clock runs out 3 - 2 - 1 the last one was on my screen and I pressed my attack, and "timer ran out" If we took that round then! We had the tie sealed or a possible win/comeback" Which would have been an unbelievable shock to the crowd considering the team we were up against was

"Believed to win" and we totally were underdogs in the situation but what a memory everyone dieing in sweat trying there absolute, however we managed to make a comeback in the losers bracket and winning against 4teams going 4-1 and then up against shaguars team once again, on de_train which our weakest map, so thus forth losing.

However I have many more storys I have ran out of time hopefully people enjoy this
Sorry however i'ts not based on SC but I will have more based on my storys in SC as well
Hope you all enjoyed,
