These 8 AM starts have got me very sleepy actually. I'm not sure if I can continue doing this with my current routine. Even though driving to work at 8 AM is a lot quieter and same for leaving at 4 PM, maybe I just need to adjust my sleep schedule to go to sleep at 11 PM instead of 12 AM? That sounds better Because currently I only actually get just over 6 hours of sleep whereas before I get 7. I'm going to bed at the same time, so I'm basically missing an hour of sleep than I did before.
Watching the Budapest major last night, stage 1, I swear to god I don't understand what is even happening. The amount of upsets is just ridiculous and also teams that are well favoured just getting pwned by noobs?!?! Like Fnatic ALMOST losing to Red Canids???? Also Legacy completely ruining ALL of our Pick'Ems by losing to FlyQuest in the first fucking match. Like it has just been an actually frustrating stage 1 so far! But, I'm still enjoying watching it, even if I am shouting at my screen! It's actually more enjoyable if the teams I pick slightly struggle because it adds tension. If all my picks just steamrolled the other team 13-2 then it wouldn't be much fun to watch would it? I mean the enjoyment really comes from tense 1v1 clutches, quiet sneaking and info gathering with the bomb planted, seeing super smart plays, and even seeing just obvious mess ups is fun to watch. I might place some bets on some matches, just because it artificially hypes up the match even more, because the main incentive I have is my Pick'Ems. I would love to get diamond, but I know that's not happening with the amount of upsets this stage 1! In fact I doubt many people will have any at all. Honestly, having so many upsets makes it more interesting so it's not all lost.
Apart from the major, I haven't even been timelapse recording my map making. It's been a lot of fun putting the props everywhere that I haven't even thought about this as a documenting project. Also, I've been watching the major while mapping so there are a lot of pauses that I could edit out but I really just would rather not spend time editing it out. Consider I map from when I get home to almost when I go to sleep, while also watching the major, I don't even have time to edit it all out, unless I compromise mapping time which I don't wanna do! So, a few screenshots will have to do for now.
