Starcraft

2 and as I mentioned, Tilt, who's our resident platinum member of the leagues.

Is he the StarCraft Savant?

He's the man to chase.

Yeah. So me and him got together, we got a bit of Skype on, jumped into the game.

Is he schooling you? He was schooling me. He was my Mr. Miyagi for the day. And he was teaching me, he was teaching me some things, yeah, some interesting things that I hadn't thought about. And it was all about going balls deep with the resources immediately. Yeah, absolutely. You never want to stop building SCVs to go resource and mine for you. And he was teaching me like the joys of the stim pack with your bog standard marine can be lethal. Carry on, carry on. Yeah, and I went online with these tactics and I started to win. Oh, brilliant. And I was putting them into practice. And then I lost. I'm a third go. But I thought, you know what? That's cool. That's cool. I need to go back to win. Oh, brilliant. And I was putting them into practice. And then I lost.

I'm my third go.
