TheBobackwards United States25 Posts December 27 2011 10:26 GMT #1 So last week I decided, since the holidays were coming up, to not give myself a new restraint and instead continue working on my queens and overlords, and I am very glad I did so. I feel much more comfortable than I did before and am ready to hit the next week strong. I want to wish everyone a Merry/Happy ___________ (Input what you celebrate) and hope everyone is enjoying the holidays! This next week I'm going to work on a unit that I am not comfortable with at all... which is the infestor. I will be added the infestor into each of my strategies for all the matchups, and continue to practice with them. Thank you for all the support and criticism, I am proud to say I'm still going strong.

Magulina Sweden152 Posts December 27 2011 22:38 GMT #6 If Donzo is your only account you definitely have to play more.. You've played about 20 games over the last 2.5 weeks, in that pace you wont ever get high rated and everyone will just improve faster than you. Since you're so far behind right now in terms of practice compared to people that have played for a year, you probably have to play 10 hours each and every day for at least 6 months to even reach GM. Good luck though!

Endymion United States3701 Posts December 27 2011 23:01 GMT #7 I like your vlogs, keep it up! my advice to you is this: playing a lot isn't whats important, play correctly and reinforce good habits. If you find yourself mindlessly massing games, then you're wasting your time. Refine your time, then play games to increase the level of refinement. It helps to not say "i'm going to play for 5 hours," but rather instead say "i'm going to play until i can max out by 12 minutes without getting supply capped" or something like this.

Cham 797 Posts December 27 2011 23:34 GMT #8 Nice to see another update. I'd definitely be up to watch a stream if you chose to do so. I find that streaming makes playing a larger amount of games at one time easier, maybe you will find the same.

TheBobackwards United States25 Posts December 28 2011 06:25 GMT #9 Thank you guys for the feedback! Magulina, I know my games have been low, and I know this. I am already doing what Endymion is saying, Though playing mass games does help you improve, I firmly believe you improve faster by refining your play, picking out what you are doing wrong, and directly fixing those problems. I watch every single replay, sometimes multiple times, and take notes in a SC2 Notebook I have. Endymion, I have to say that is an awesome Idea that did not occur to me. I think that that is a much better way of thinking than what I have been doing, though I feel that I should dedicate a specific amount of time a day to my practice, ie my 4 hours. I like the idea of afterwords I play until I do something like you said. Thank you so much again for taking the time to watch my video and leave your feedback, you guys are all truely amazing! <33333
