Hello fellow teamliquiders and Starcraft fans!

I recently found out about this blog function so i thought it would be fun to blog about my own little "project" that i will do during this week but first i will do a small introduction.

My name is Mikael, im 17years old and i live in Sweden. My race is Zerg and im currently placed in Diamond (EU ofc)

As many of you i love Starcraft 2 but i suffer from the fear of laddering in 1v1 and because of that i always end up watching streams instead of playing by myself and try to improve. So during the dreamhacks tournament i decided that i would make myself a schedule of me playing Starcraft 2 which would make me more motivated to play.

Here is the schedule!
[image loading]

So during one day i will play a total of 7h and 30mins and during the "Free Time" im ofcourse allowed to play SC2 so my minimum requirements of me playing is 7h 30min+ every day for 1 week.

Sadly i forgot to blog about yesterdays (monday) results so i'll begin with todays results and reflections!

I have to say playing for 7h+ is very exhausting, but oh boy i can already feel the difference in my play in just 2days of hardcore training. My 1v1 ladder fear is still inside me but i force myself and for every game that goes by i can feel how small bits of that fear gets removed so at the end of this week i will hopefully have no fear left inside of me when it comes to laddering :D

As for results im very satisfied.
My ZvZ and ZvP is very good but ofcourse improvements need to be done when it comes to micro in ZvZ and scounting for ZvP.

I have most struggle with TvZ where i have encountered the Thor+Helion build 90% of the time. To be honest i have never seen that build until 3-4days ago, i guess some known player posted this start somewhere and now everyone uses it.
Through my losses and reflection after every TvZ i feel like the solution for this start is roaches+infestors and then lategame brood lords. I've hade some succes with it but i still need to experiment with it.

YOU MAY NEED TO CLICK ON THE PICTURE TO GET THE EXACT SIZE!
To get a better vision of my results here are some screenshots

And my placement after todays playthrough (Was rank 28 when i started)

So i guess that's it for today. Im sorry if the grammar or spelling isn't correct but i tried my best to get some kind of flow in the text

One thing.

You may want to change one of the free times or ladders to walking/running around the block. Only an hour a day can do wonders for you. If you want some motivation, motivation to keep on running is by listening to a daily while you do so and you also get some game knowledge.

EDIT: I remember the first thing.

Haha i had thought the same thing. I am assuming that either he has something else planned during that time, or he wakes up later than it showed.

Nice post 5/5. You know, I think I might try this. I don't start work for a couple weeks so I need something to bide my time with. That, and I also find myself not wanting to ladder...but still want to play SC2, not to mention that incorporating a daily running schedule wouldn't hurt.

Thanks for sharing.
