I am very thankful for all the constructive feedback.
This was a fear of mine from the beginning, that by doing what I am, people would mistake what I'm trying to do for fame. This is completely understandable, since I would probably think the same thing. I can only say, that my purpose is not to gain fame while doing this, but to promote others to strive for what they want, and promote eSports as a whole.
I don't expect my words to change any minds, but I'm continuing to work hard so one day I can show the SC community that a gold player can reach the Pro's if they are willing to put in the time and work.
Still love all of you!

im pretty sure that's not what a lot of us are saying... you can do it for whatever reason you want, i couldn't care less; it's just that it's not gonna happen, but that's not my problem. Why do I care? It's a hassle to go through a myriad of "going pro" blogs like yours to get to some of the more interesting blogs on TL. A lot of TL members have interesting anecdotes to tell or thoughts to share, and blogs like these contain neither.

I hope to one day show you that I can, I am working hard, and I know that I am only at the beginning.
I can't say I'm sorry for taking up "blog space", I believe in what I'm trying to do, and am going to continue the way I am.

If you're not in masters in 3-5 months you should probably quit. There's a reason why everyone is being generally negative in this thread.

You fucked up the moment you decided to tell the internet about your goals. If anyone, you should really only be telling the people who are the closest to you. Otherwise, keep it to yourself.
If you want to amount to anything, disappear now and come back when you actually have something substantial to show.

Working hard isn't even the half of it. You should read the blog Marshal just wrote. I put my two cents in there too with what to look for.
If you are gold and have been gold for some time. It's going to be a fruitless attempt. Everyone has a skill ceiling.

You know what would have been interesting?
If you made a youtube video and updated it weekly with your progress, but made all the videos private.Then, when you actually were approaching your goal (say top 10 NA server), you made a thread saying "hey guys I'm going to try to go pro, here's a youtube channel of my progress to date". That's when you make all your youtube videos public and you have this amazing log to show and prove everyone wrong.
What you have right now is the same thing TL has seen since SC2 has been announced. Anyone remember Oversky? I don't think I've ever seen anyone as dedicated as him try to become a pro, and he ended up quitting because he realized the game was shit after playing an ungodly amount of hours.

Sorry I lolled at "everyone can do this".
And 4 hours of practice a day... Even with 8 hours a day I'd say you'd have to be a genius and have competitive experience in other RTS. I am at loss for words, people are ignorant.

Anyone with enough talent to become a SC2 pro would place in masters at the very least within a few days or weeks of getting the game - intuitively learning how it works.
I hate to have to agree with everyone here, but a positive attitude won't help you here. Don't waste a part of your life chasing unattainable dreams.

Gl, do it just for yourself, not for esports.
