Evening Reading
by Brian Leahy, Oct 11, 2010 5:00pm PDTUnfortunately, I've been away from StarCraft II for far too long and now I've lost all of my skills. At some point, I'll just have to give it another go, bomb my ladder rank, and work my way back up.
I'm super-excited for GSL 2, which is currently finishing up its offline qualifiers and should begin streamed matches in a little over a week. Some StarCraft: Brood War pros have begun making the switch to SC2, including BoxeR--the most famous SC:BW pro--and NaDa. Non-Korean players Greg "IdrA" Fields and Dario "TLO" Wunsch, both of whom played in GSL1, have qualified for GSL2.
The quality of games should get better and better as the GSL seasons continue.

Not only did that shit me off, the 'random knocker' in the apartment block struck again this morning at 06:45am. I've lived in the same place for 7 years, every 3 to 12 weeks someone makes a very odd knocking noise on the wall which I simply can't identify. It sounds like someone banging in about 10 nails, "tap tap tap" - it's not sex, it's not water pipes, the noise is just plain strange. I hate whoever that person is with all my being. 7 years of random knock noises - worst thing is sometimes they don't do it for months at a time - then they are back on it again.

Hopefully you'll get plenty of rest tonight and the crazy mystery knocker will go bother someone else? I feel like I should reply saying something helpful or cheerful or whatever, but there's not much left beyond "that sucks, I'm sorry."
