Best of luck in the TBL, SirJolt!

I expect the competition to be real fierce this season, have you seen Trozz's syllable micro? But I think you can take it. Just don't let Glider draw on your blogs and you'll be fine.

I actually heard a rumour from some Korean pro-bloggers on Twitter that Glider is opening up a completely new style this season.

They call it "sketchblogging" - essentially, he just freehand draws an image of your blog, but perfect in every possible way. It's a pencil sketch that shows off features other people might not have even noticed your blog even had. The only difference is that where it once said "SirJolt" it now says "Glider." I'm not sure how to even approach it yet.

I only really need to worry if other players emulate it. I wouldn't put it past FuDDx to make an entire blog out of balloons... What hope is there left for me then?

A few things:

a.) Your multitask is a little weak. I'd recommend opening several more browsers while working in Word - and if you can't juggle multiple documents simultaneously, you're not going to do very well in the face of early Flame War aggression. Most low Silver and Gold players like to come out the gate with quick flames and if you aren't able to have multiple responses developing at once you're going to get run over around the 2-page mark.

b.) It looks like you are trying to develop your own gameplan - you are very focused on shifting the metapost. The truth of the matter is that proposting is going on 12 years now and the meta has been largely developed; there are set openings with intricate grammar windows that you really need to learn first. From there it is more a function of refining the message and developing unique headers, instead of trying to build a post from scratch when the reality is you really can't compete with the established templates.

c.) You're spending a bit too much time on risky, one-dimensional all-in posts. You commit everything to the page in the opening post and if the other posters deflect or flame it, you're basically done. While you can rack up a lot of cred posting rapid-fire in short threads, you're also not going to learn a lot and when you find yourself in a 10 or 20-page postwar, you're going to be outclassed time and again.

You're using Cambria? If you ever plan on going pro you're gonna need to switch to a much more standard font. I would suggest Times New Roman or Calibri. If you really wanna change it up then a Comic Sans maybe once for a bo5 but Cambria is just a bad strat.

Also there were like 15 to 20 seconds at the end of your video of you doing nothing. 0 WPM. It's not over until you hit post my friend, and even though you think you may have it you gotta keep going til the very end.

I'm not gonna lie, with the fierce competition and the Koreans your chances are slim, but good luck to you nonetheless.

I'm brand new to the blogging ladder, and I'm wondering if I could get any advice for holding off one sentence run-on all-ins? I'm an art-blogger but have been thinking of switching to Starcraft since Webster refuses to nerf verbs and I just don't know what to do. I know you're supposed to wall-in with commas and semi-colons, but no matter what I try, they always manage to find a hole, and once they're in, it's just a matter of time before they follow up with expletives.

Am I doing something wrong or do I really just need to switch subjects?

fucking retards in this blog, all of you. proposting doesn't exist because it isn't a sport, it's a hobby. the only way to even break even off of it is to go to korea and get on a real team.

and WTF @ 2000 ESPORTS$ per hour? idiots like you are killing esports. i hope that's not the average for this kind of coaching.

Typical kids who can't hack it in the real, old school blogosphere. I remember back when the text field didn't have spellcheck, auto hyperlinking, and everything was a single font size: Impossibly Small. Blogging is so easy now, there's no skill required to be a pro-blogger.

Any of the current old bloggers would disintegrate these new ones.

Damn it, you forced me to spent one of my precious remaining post before the thousand.

Well played. I too are hard at work on the poster ladder, and only recently advanced to the "TL writer" league. Now that you have earnt your first "featured thread" achievement, it's only up from here!
Thank God and gunrun.

Need more pictures. Pictures = 1000 words, so with that you can boost overall WPM and effective WPM together. What a noob mistake.

Or this. That's going above and beyond. You may be able to get a 10x multiplier for the effort--well worth it to show you're a serious contender. Best of luck.

I am just in bronze and didn't watch the video but that is because blogs have been nerfed so bad I didn't need to see your flawed method. You are better off posting in general where more people see it and then having mods move it to blogs l8r after it already has exposure. SC2 General is so OP.

Sentence run-on all-ins are actually not that hard to hold with some good punctuation micro. The idea is to hold back the sentences with semicolons and commas while stalling until you have period tech out. Once you have period tech its easy to target-slice large clusters of words. The tricky part is holding out waiting for periods, you'll have to work hard on you comma-splitting micro. If one good run-on sentence splices a large group of commas its gg.

Just my two cents.
