I've been entering so many tournaments, as many as I can. I usually plow through so many rounds and end up losing somewhere in the top 16. Usually with 100+ people, I know I can win these, Ive come sooo close to the last few.

This is nothing compared to my schedule, these aren't even half of my results, I probably forgot a bunch of them. If you want to take a look at what my week looks like, its online here:

On top of this crazy schedule, I have 4 university courses. Which I'm doing pretty decently, I think I have a really easy semester with only 8 hours of class a week. And I also manage the CSL team for Toronto.
I had 2 tournaments yesterday, with a presentation just before them. Which I stayed up all night for, I swear I lost the last tournament in the ro4 because of lack of sleep lol.
BUT HONESTLY, this is the most thrilling time I ever had gaming, going so far in everything I enter, its just a rush.
Still, imagine being in Korea with their extreme schedule, its probably nothing compared to the life there. Still its my dream to go pro, despite asian parents, and my education.
edit: if anyones interested I can upload a tournaments replay pack. But currently I'm uploading some of the matches to my youtube.
