The DIY PC Upgrade 2024

 

After more than 8 years, I have searched for used PC parts and new ones to upgrade my i5-3570 + GTX 1050 Ti into something better.

Bought several stuffs at Shopee:

• i5-7400
• H110M-K
• 32GB DDR4 RAM 2133MHz 
• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070
• Patriot P210 SSD SATA GEN III 1TB

And the result? I have made my cost of nearly RM1200 to do this upgrade. I'm so far satisfied with the gaming performance at AAA game titles such as NARAKA Bladepoint, Honkai: Star Rail and etc...

Will do another upgrade in 5-10 years later.

Milotic ex (SV8 Pokemon TCG's New Surprise Meta)

Can Milotic ex actually stay at Tier 2 or Tier 3? I guess it can. It works similar to control decks alongside Noivern ex. Here's a slight glimpse of the future Pokemon TCG SV8 meta!

As you can see, the text is as follows!

Ability: Shimmering Scales 
This Pokemon is immune to damages or effects from the opponent's Tera Pokemon.

My POV: This is an very OP ability as you literally blocked all the damages and effects from ex Pokemon?! That's crazy.

Hypno Slash with 160 Damage? You are able to put your opponent's Pokemon to sleep as well. That's pretty much a partial control deck which will be annoying in the meta to come.

Thanks to Google Translate, I can plan ahead to understand what SV8 to SV9 card's effect and ability easily!

Here's my Google Translation app trying to zoom in for the ability's text translation. It is still partially revealed but can't figure what it's going to be like!

Eevee has been one of the most famous Pokemon's to date since 1996's and it's a definite Pokemon choice for most GameBoy Color era gamers.

Sarawak Old But Glorious Esports Man (Royce, That's Me!)

As of 20th November 2021, I have achieved numerous results in Dota 2 to MLBB showmatch which consisted of high level players! What a run throughout the year. 

CONFIRMED RESULT: 

TOP 32 - DreamLeague Season 14 DPC EU Open Qualifier #2 (Yung Lean) 

2ND PLACE - Dota Plus Battle Cup SEA Division Tier 8 (KUNTE CHUTYA) 

1ST PLACE - Serba Dinamik Dota 2 Championship Season 1 (Team Mask) RM2500 + Trophy 

TOP 16 - The AsiaBet33 Championship S1 (Team ?)

1ST PLACE - Dota Plus Battle Cup EU Division Tier 8 (za ilyxy otpizgy) 

1ST PLACE - Predator Gaming MLBB Showmatch 2021 (Team Chikanook) RM2500
1ST PLACE - GosuAwards TI10 Dota 2 Voting Award (RollsRoyce) USD$500 Apple Gift Voucher

I would like to thank Team Mask as well for hiring me to manage / stand-in when needed. Also, having played with many Tier 3 players that's closely Tier 2 youth players are so great in SEA region. It's not easy to coach or get opportunities to work with. I believe in my skills all the way.

So far, all these results are amazing. You can even find one of them at

TEAM MASK IS SARAWAK DOTA 2 LAN EVENT CHAMPION IN 2021!!!

Still, trying to help many SEA/EU/NA region players to get their own team, most of them are teamless 7-10K MMR players. It's not very easy as you think it is. It's hard to get noticed sometimes but hopefully people will notice the talents they actually need to hire.

Not here to flex or what but there's always been a year that I've proved myself now as Royce formerly RollsRoyce 10 years ago as my gamer's nickname. I also claimed the SEA's best winning voters award at GosuGamers which I've patron for a decade. All this efforts are without of any other people's help, true, pure Esports in heart with well managed resources.

Thanks to those who have always trust the power and skills as a semi-pro gamer with full-time job, not easy for a 32 years old as well. Onto a challenging 2022, more Esports adventure to look at!
