You should measure your development by your NA ranking on the ladder, not by diamond points since, as llama says, the bonus pool inflates you. It looks

It looks like for the last 3 weeks, your ranking hasnt improved much.

Oh funny i was around looking for cool threads on TL.net when i saw this one. I played you I guess, well unless there are a lot of wicked zerg in the 1K to 1K5 range .

You stomped me though since my PvZ is uter shit at the moment... should work on it seriously since my PvT is very good with the FE thing and my PvP is ok (though i rely on cheese too much since I'm fed up with colossus battles).
Either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.

you've made good progress the last month, but dont start slacking off because playing 60 hours a week will get very tiring.
i forgot to say congrats

Out of curiosity, what precisely is your practice schedule/plan?

Starting tomorrow, it's ~60 hours of training a week. Sun/mon are both 12 hours, with breaks for food, and an hour of working out (not included in the 12). Tues-Thurs I work 10 hours, and practice 4-6 hours when I get home, depending on how tired I am. Fri/Sat are the same as Sun/Mon. My girlfriend is very supportive, while she is finishing up her nursing school, and doing a "residency".

Also, The 12 hours of practice includes play, replay watching, and observing other high level games.

I feel obligated to post here because only a couple of years ago (and this is hard for me to say), I was exactly like this guy. I had the same plans of practicing 80 hours a week just like the pros, I had the same plan to get up at the crack of dawn and go on a diet and start working out, I had the same unshakable belief that my inexhaustible talent would carry me through, and I made the same kind of embarassing post. Hell, I even look like him.

You can ask incontrol, a few years back on my alt account Amaroq, I sent most of the good foreign bw players this long PM proclaiming my certain-to-be-fulfilled goals of becoming a pro that would be "1000 times as good as boxer ever was" at SC2 (the beta being unreleased at that point, I was practicing bw in anticipation). If you really want a good laugh, maybe one of the players I sent the PM to will post it.

But what I'm getting at is that I've been in this guy's shoes, and he is not a troll, he really believes he is this undiscovered genius. forgotten0ne, I know you wont listen to this because I wouldn't have either, but you need to realize that you are gratifying yourself but ultimately destroying any chance you had of excelling. The TED link a few pages back does an unbelievable job explaining the effect that he is, and I was, feeding off of.

Ever since I got over that ridiculous phase, I've been so embarassed about it that I made this new account and didn't introduce myself to any people from TL at Blizzcon out of fear. I guess this post is me finally exonerating myself from this once and for all.
Appreciate your neurons.

Just so you know there has been research that shows that the effect 'natural talent' has on a person's success diminishes the longer they work at that thing ('The 10,000 Hour Rule' based on research by Anders Ericsson). In other words, if you and I both played 10,000 hours of SC2 with equally good practice we would probably be quite similar in skill.

Basically, be aware that all these (implied) claims of being naturally better actually don't mean a lot. It would pay to show a bit more humility, if only for your own sake.

I'm not saying you won't make it either. It's just something to consider when bringing up all this 'natural talent' stuff.

By the way, there were no exceptions to Anders Ericsson's research.

VERY cool Wicked! I used to follow your streams and I always did think you were a great player though your weaknesses were that you almost always forgot about that scouting ovie and it would die followed by you raging about it a bit lol. Oh and the godaweful Techno music

I'm glad to hear that your general game has improved. Looking forward to more updates!

if you would put half of this effort into a real career, you would be making so much more money, and actually have a future. I am glad that you are improving, but i feel that you need to look a little farther down the road here....

If you have already lost some of your will to play, there's no hope for you. Imagine playing 10 hours a day for the rest of your life
