BabyToss

Started playing StarCraft 2 late 2010, although it was not until half of 2011 when Jana "BabyToss" Otahalova realized the challenge and her own love for the game. Learning slowly from scratch, BabyToss would struggle, as she walked the path. Facing a lot of factors hindering her, such as low-confidence & general anxiety, she takes up the challenge to fully grasp the game of StarCraft 2, with one goal - to become as good as possible.

Originally starting to climb the SC2 ladder from lowely Bronze, BabyToss managed to reach the Diamond league and she aims to reach the Master division - she truly wishes to stream, entertain & coach newer players later on, along with participating regulary in both online and offline tournaments, overcoming her personal hurdle of being shy & inconfident through contributing to the StarCraft 2 community. Suffering from frequent severe depressions, BabyToss took a long break from consistent practice and training, resulting in huge drop of her skill. Currently trying to get back on her feet, to reclaim what she once had, in order to be able to follow her dreams and further progress in StarCraft 2, as well as a person, that she is.

By the end of April 2012, BabyToss joins international team & community, vVv Gaming, considering herself to be StarCraft 2 player in training, still hoping to reach her dream of becoming one of the best; regardless of where that takes her, as ultimately, growing stronger, facing challenges and improving is, what keeps her ticking and going on.
