[edit] Biography
Playing out of his hometown Brisbane, Queensland, mOOnGLaDe was a Night Elf player in his WarCraft days and now plays Zerg in the SC2 Beta. 'Andy' is no stranger to the Zerg race, however, as he achieved a B- high rank on iCCup using the Zerg race in the original StarCraft: Brood War.[2]
He was also very accomplished in WarCraft III, including WCG wins over Grubby[3] , WhO[4] and DeMusliM[5].
mOOnGLaDe was invited to play SC2 tournament, the HDH Invitational, an offer which he promptly accepted[6].
[edit] In Beta
With the launch of the SC2 Beta, GLaDe has stated his intention to use it to prepare for competitive play upon the retail release of the game. As well as maintaining top4 positioning in his Platinum League division, GLaDe has participated in a number of community tournaments such as DacTheHork's Triple Strike Team Cup and Smuft's Team Battle Tournament as well as winning the Australian SC2 Showcase. He has since further strengthened his claim as the top player from the Oceania region with a convincing win in the TransTasman SC2 Championship, running out 3-1 winner over Pinder after coming from the lower brackets.
He has since further consolidated himself in the top tier of Australian players by winning the Mar Sara Trials and running out second in the TransTasman, as well as being invited to play in several international events.

One of mOOnGLaDe's strongest results to date has been his performance at IEM Season V - World Championship where he placed highest amongst non-Korean players at 4th place. After blitzing his group he finally fell to fellow ex-WC3 Night Elf and fellow Zerg Moon to qualify as second seed. After upsetting MorroW 3-1 he was defeated by AcE 0-3, and fell to the 3rd place playoff against Squirtle where, in a close series, he was unable to take the final game, losing 2-3 but still securing a hefty $2,500 prize purse. mOOnGLaDe was also invited to Season 1 of the NASL.

Attempting to qualify for GSL May, mOOnGLaDe was defeated in the first round of the open qualifiers by viOLet. He would return back to Australia for personal reasons as the rest of the FXO roster went to Korea.
On August 13, 2011 mOOnGLaDe was released from FXOpen e-Sports.[7]
mOOnGLaDe was one of the players from SEA to make it into the Blizzcon 2011 tournament. He would face Mvp in the first round, losing 0-2, and then lose again in the lower bracket to Ret, 1-2.
