Dark Souls 3 & ESL Manila

Last week just before we left for Starladder Dark Souls 3 was released in Sweden. I only had time to try it an hour since we were preparing for Starladder but I’ve played some more now after we got home and killed 4 bosses so far, really enjoy it! When I played Dark Souls 2 I choose to be a Mage (I always want to be a Mage if I can :D) so I thought I’d try something new this time. Have been playing as a Knight now and it’s more fun and challenging to play close-combat than to just run away and spam spells even though I liked that as well x).

Watching Bummi play right now. She is a bit further than me but really fun to watch and give each other tips on where to find things (even though Bummi seems to find almost everything but I’m too eager to get to the next bonfire so I miss a lot of items) and help each other out.

Bummi’s character!

We are taking a couple of days break before we start to practice again so I’ve just been playing some pubs to keep up. My three favorite heroes in pubs are Phoenix, Oracle and Enchantress right now! 🙂

ESL Manila is starting soon, really looking forward to see the teams there play and especially Secret with their new roster. Quite hard to say who the favorite is, I think it’s very even between most teams there. But time will tell I guess :).

New desk and visa!

Bought a new desk yesterday from Ikea along with some other things. Had a quite small desk before so it feels great to have a bigger one now!

Gonna apply for a Russian visa on Tuesday for the Epicenter tournament that is held in Moscow. Last time we were there was like in 2008 when I played with SK-Gaming. At that tournament I was playing with Loda, Bogdan, Hailo and the famous Russian player Ars-Art. I don’t really remember how we ended up playing together with Ars-Art, according to Liquipedia he joined us in 2008-02-29 and left the team in 2008-06-22 so it didn’t last for so long. He took good care of us while we were there at the event so it was a success even though we ended up 3rd or 4th place. This was also the event we met v1lat the first time and he took a picture of me and Loda holding a Ukrainian flag! 😀

Played one of the shortest pubs in a long time together with Loda the other day. Went dual mid with Io and Tiny and it went so good for us that they gave up straight away :D. Trying to work a bit on my solo MMR as well – I was thinking that when I reach 5800 I will stream some Dota 😀 I’m at 5533 right now and going quite steady up but since I’m mostly playing party it might take some time ^^.

Fast win for some easy MMR points! ^^

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Stream and last weekend

Some of you might have seen it already but I set up my stream last Saturday! Played some Ori and the Blind Forest to warm up to stream a bit and we’ll see what happens in the future. I know a lot of you want to see me stream Dota – I’ll let you know when I will! 🙂

Went out to meet some friends for a couple of drinks after the stream. The picture below is of me and my friend Fred who I met when I studied computer game development a couple of years ago! 🙂

Really looking forward to go to our next event! We are leaving for Starladder in Kiev in about two weeks, was quite some time since we were there since the latest Starladder events has been in other countries and cities. Gonna be fun to be back! 🙂
