Going to work from 9am to 4pm.
Exercise and Food until 7pm
Playing starcraft from 7pm-11pm
Sleep in sharp before 1am

every weekday.

Gonna train hardcore and try to go to GM (you think it's doable? I'm masters atm)

Been trying to do this for awhile now, never get the chance to implement. But now I think it's time!!
Gonna set up a stream, I'll figure it out. I'll be playing starcraft and practicing guitar in between games.

I play zerg. Anyone want to practice?

I can keep up this schedule for 4 months w/o interruption, save for graduate school visits (I'm on my off semester, just graduated, waiting on graduate school at the moment)

I'll keep you guys updated

wish me luck.

4 hours a day of practice, assuming you spend it legitimately attempting to improve your game, will result in marked improvement. Getting up to the MMR where you're playing GM players is totally doable. I'm not sure how easy it is to get into GM league, given how small it is and the actual mechanical difficulty of doing so (only open at the start of the season less people dropping out mid season), but I wish you the best of luck.

Just a question. What do you exactly define as practice?

EDIT: Okay the reason why I ask this is because I am legitamately interested in what kind of practice it takes for one to get to GM. Because the way I see it, grinding ladder games is not practice in any sense of the word.

Edit2: Good luck with your endeavor though!

You can just ladder your way to GM. I'm an example of someone who never played customs before getting into GM. I know other people who never play customs either.
Oracle comes in, Scvs go down, never a miscommunication.

Mass ladder with some brain is perfectly fine in this time.

In 5 years it probably won't be.

HHahHA was I tree? I hated tree hahahahaa he was so boring!!!
last hit last hit!! Okay radiance
Tree, "Can we push now? I have radiance"
Team, "Ohhh fine!!"
Tree, "FUCK I FUCKED UP!! wait 3 min for my ult to go off cd"
Team, "._________________."

I need to spend today figuring out what kind of practice I want to do. But tentatively I'd say
1 hr of watching vods/replays for getting pumped and inspiration
Always watch my own replays and analyze what I can
Each day for Each match up pick something specific to work on
Each week have a theme to work on. I'm even considering practicing exactly 1 MU per week, while cheese the rest.
We'll figure it out. How do some of you guys practice?
