Yeah, even if I decided to try this, I'd never blog about it. It would already feel too much like work, and adding in the factor of doing reports on it, and reading shit from the people saying it will never happen... just make it harder. (In my case, they'd be absolutely right. I would hate the game before I made it to Platinum, if I tried a dedicated training regimen.)

Get a camera to record your games, and start Project A 2.0, and I wish you the best of luck on your pro-gaming journey, but from my observations only 1 guy in a few thousand makes it, and achieves the goals you have set for yourself.

Thats a really good idea. I need to see if our camcorder still works. lol

I have finally made it to Masters. After alot of hard work and dedication I am getting very close to completing my goal. All thats left now is getting to top 8 masters so I can try out for this gaming team and from there get top 32 at MLG Raleigh. Thanks for any and all support that was givin to me. I really appreciate it.

This is awesome, big congrats on your progress. I'm sure I don't need to tell you have a long way to go, but stick at it

Reading the first page I was trying to decide if blogging would be a help or a hinderance, and I decided that the extra work load and the mostly negative attention you would get would probably be a hinderance. How was your experience of climbing the ladder? I'm in Gold at the moment and would love to reach Masters. Was it enjoyable? Did your commitment ever falter?

For some reason I can't get my head around the "I want to be the first African American Starcraft Pro-gamer"

Why does that matter to you? Why not just want to be a pro-gamer? I guess I'm just looking at it from the wrong perspective. I guess it’s a personal thing.

Good work dude and good luck. <3

Its all about mindset and how you handle wins/losses. Its also about who you practice with if you practice with other people. Always try to practice with people who are better than you and you will improve very quickly, much more quickly than ladder since the skill level is so inconsistent.

9 months from gold to master is quite à long time. If you have actualky been playing like 4 hours a day, its a really long time. I don't think you understand what level you are right now. The difference between bronze and master is not even as big as the difference between low and high master. Let alone grandmaster, let alone top 32 MLG. How much time do you have before raleigh?

I havent been playing non-stop. I actually had just started playing seriously again about 2-3 months ago. I have been playing back and forth between my main account and 2 smurf accounts that I have. I practice alot with actual members of Team LgN and its pretty fun. Hopefully soon I can be part of the team.

I heard MLG Raleigh is supposed to be sometime in August but im not 100% sure. Ill be more than ready by that time though.
