Hey guys, I'm new to the team liquid forums. I am going to become a Professional SC2 player! It's something I know I want to do, and I want to support esports in my own way. To achieve this, and keep myself motivated, I am going to archive my way to the top. I'd love to hear any feedback from the community on ideas how I can work to make myself better.
If you have the time and are interested, I have my intro video up on youtube explaining in detail my plans to achieve my goal, please check it out and let me know what you think!
But sadly my first advice I give to you has to be that this kind of stuff is not allowed. You can blog about your progress and all, but your first post having a link to your youtube channel and very little content is pretty much just advertising and you either have to pay for it(sponsored thread) or be already an established part of the community if you just want to throw in a link here and there. But for now, you should remove the link.
I am in no way a moderator or someone that can enforce this, so take it just as a suggestion and friendly advice as I saw a lot of these threads and pretty much everyone got closed(at least the ones that I know of).
First thing.People who archive their way to the top usually don't make it.
If I were you. I would not archive it. instead of spending time uploading and making videos. Spend your time practicing. Spending even a hour on a video when you can be playing is not a wise choice. Just practice your heart out and play to your best. Nobody got to be a progamer through making youtube videos. If that were the case we'd all be pros by now.
I apologize I didn't know I wasn't supposed to throw up a link. I only ment to show my support for Starcraft and eSports. I have removed the link, but have every intention to continue! =D
I see your point masterbreti, but I really want to show my progress, so others can see in the future that you can reach such a goal if you put in the work and time.
And yes Grend, I am currenlty Gold =D I think I'm pretty average, but I will make it even if I'm working till SC8 comes out =D
Thank you for the comments, I really appreciate the "good lucks" =D

I know that(because I assume that you are good person and not a spambot!:D)! And as I said, it was just a friendly suggestion. Maybe if you ask a moderator if you can post the link it will be fine, maybe I'm completely wrong and there are only special cases when it gets closed.. As I said, I'm no official so everything I say is based off of the rules I read and my experience(And the Closed threads forum :D) .
As for suggestions for practice, imho the "korean approach" is best, where you first learn the mechanics and the strategical part. But thats just my 2 cents! And did you ever think of coaching? Given the right coach, it can really make the difference!
Welcome to the community Bob, if u need someone to help you with your goal i would be glad to practice with you, i am a plat toss atm and always need people to learn against, if ur intrested Volrod 343, i play on the US servers i assume you do too, and am on alot, either way good luck
I'd love to get coaching, it'd be really cool to get coaching from Gosu Coaching, but i'm on the poor side, at the moment.
I'm glad to say that's exactly what I'm doing at the moment, I first want to get my basic mechanics down. Such as this week, i'm purely focusing on not getting supply blocked (which I've learned I'm actually terrible at =P) On top of all of that I'm a huge Day 9 fan, and watch his show religiously, and that has been very helpful.
I can't wait for you to run into someone that just seems just absolutely unbeatable because of how naturally talented they are at this game. Stephano is a great example of this. I wish you the best of luck, but there is a very VERY hard road ahead of you. Harder than you think.
no offence but do u realy think its the best idea to say your going pro if u are gold league? sorry man but you should first see if your even able to even get to top masters. there is still a big step from high masters to GM and even a bigger step from GM to pro. and 4 hours a day wont make you a pro. you shoudlnt say i ll go pro maybe just say i ll go masters. because masters is pretty easy to get but going pro is just too hard and it takes so long that its easy to say i ll go pro but after 2 month you just get frustrated because you didnt think it was so hard dont get it wrong^^ i hope u make it gl and hf

This. Most people I know got ranked Plat-Diamond when playing the game for the first time. The fact that you know that it's possible to be a professional playing this game and that you are in Gold contradicts your goal imo.
Set attainable goals imo. lol Gold thinking of going pro is just ridiculous.
Even tho I can't even wrap my head around why you think this is even a possibility, I'll still wish you good luck because I just can't root against anyone wanting to go pro. So yeah, imo set more realistic goals and good luck because you'll need it.
