I tried grinding games too, it depends if I win or lose I guess. If I win, I think I can go on for like 4 hours, if I lose- 2. I'm adding you too for practice, my TvZ needs refinement.

the most important thing about grinding games is that you need an extremely solid game plan for each matchup. You need a detailed idea of what to do vs every possible thing they could throw at you, and then practice the crap out of it. i suggest you post it here for feedback

In my blogs tomorrow I'll be posting replays that simply don't make sense to me or ones that I can't seem to analyze properly. Obviously against T I have a lot of responses to various scenarios played out, but against Z and P I need refinement.

depends on what you mean by pro. I doubt there are very many non Korean players who follow a routine that strictly, a lot of them actually talk pretty openly about how little they practice.

Korean players however, probably do this but even more hardcore

Haha after Anaheim there was a great post on reddit about the practice schedule of the Koreans vs. the world. They just practice sooooo much more. It might not be healthy overall, but if we think about it, the people who excel most at their craft in this world lack in other things. If being "well-rounded" is your goal, then that's great, but if you want to truly be the best at something, you have to sacrifice. Outstanding thread and viewpoint, really.

You should try to get a coach and/or practice partners.
Porgamers don't just ladder all day. They play customs with coaches over their shoulder, try new things.

Definitely sounds like a great idea, best of luck!

A few things though seem a bit off, why so much ladder? Surely you can find a couple of practice partners for different match-ups?

What about replay analysis and build order refinement before you go on the ladder, so you could practice the whole process from "wow that guy plays guuud, I wanna copy his build" to "wow I play guuud"?

And if you really want an artifical trainer, try the TL multitasking trainer, it's a lot of fun and pretty insanely hard =D
