Lol best post ever. I seriously don't understand why someone who hasn't even attempted to go pro would write up a multipage guide on it and expect anyone to take it seriously.

I'm thoroughly offended by your use of such language degrading the african american race, when the person in question is the most caucasian person i've ever seen.

meh it's late i'm tired.

I shouldnt really have to defend myself here, I get asked this question a lot just because of my job. The reason why I'm not a pro gamer is a dual reason, I don't have the patience and it didnt really appeal to me. I find more enjoyment in watching the game than I do playing this is why I'm a caster.

I made this post because I'm tired of explaining individual parts of this post over and over again. Yes it is very basic because a lot of mid level players need to honestly just start over again. Many of you won't find it useful but I don't really care, some people out there will. Trying to break this down and make fun of it because I'm not a pro gamer myself is silly and childish because there are people out there who can legitimately benefit from some of the things I've written down here.

A mid level player is someone who is probably mid/high masters. This post is aimed at shitties. Sorry, but anyone who needs this post will never go pro, ever.

I was going to give a 5 just because of the guide, but then I read the TL;DR. Well played sir.

Man, I just came back from the ER to my room and I'm reading IdrA's post. I'm laughing so hard the nurses came to ask if something was wrong. ._.

Some things are true, some are not. I believe it is quite an overstatement that you must be SO hard on yourself. I mean, it's ok to say you don't know squat about the game (unless you're at an INCREDIBLY high level, like IdrA or Artosis or Day9 or Apollo)... But not to treat yourself like you're a piece of worthless shit. I mean, you still need to believe in yourself to accomplish this feat.

And may I add... I must agree with IdrA on this one...

Man, Raelcun put a lot of effort and work and time into making this post to help people and you just shit all over it in a single sentence like you don't care. You just lost a fan.

so? what if Idra said something negative? There's nothing wrong fundimentally with what OP is saying here. All the big idea on rank does not matter and starting over are all valid points.

I don't really get the need for all these guides. In BW nobody needed those. You should be able to improve naturally until a certain point if youre any good seriously.

And beeing a SC2 pro gamer isn't a non realistic goal because the game is hard. It's not realistic because it's materially almost impossible unless you fly to korea and turn into a bot.

Spend two hours writing post -> thread immediately derailed because idra posts first, lol xD

I kinda feel for you, still a decent guide for newer players I guess
