Introduction blog - Introduction blog!
My practice schedule blog - Practice Schedule

Hey TL , Long time no talk! I've just been focusing my time on practice. I've recently started my EU account and am currently masters. I personally find EU to be a bit harder than on NA. It's a bit less cheesy (Except in PvP... Proxied gates everywhere! ), So when I play I get the chance to play macro games and it makes me realise the difference in region play styles. On NA I would get cheesed consistently and lose to really bad players because stupid all ins while I go for 1 gate expand for FFE, So while playing on EU were the majority of players choose to bring it to the late game I feel more comfortable with my play. I get less discouraged from losing to bad kids that do dumb coin flips, Now when I lose I actually have something to learn instead of just watching myself lose to a 1/1/1.

On top of enjoying and improving more while on EU I recently met up with my soon to be room mates Wilko. He randomly found my stream about 2 weeks ago and he's been helping me like crazy. I'll stream and he consistently coaches my through my point of view, He goes over small details that I wouldn't have ever thought of, He's a really really really talented player and has helped me improve tremendously in the past few weeks. Being able to talk and play with him gets me more and more excited for living in the Poland house. I'll be living with Wilko and 9 other players of higher skill level to be able to improve off of.

The practice schedule I recently posted has been put on the side a bit. I'm trying to get my sleep pattern on the same track as I had planned but it's taking longer than I had thought. Does anyone have tips for changing a sleep schedule? I've jsut been trying to stay up as long as possible every day but I barely see a difference lol. Once I can get myself switched up I'll be able to follow my plan and hopefully continue to improve.

I've been continue to stream as well, If you'd like to follow high masters Protoss play with commentary and analysis follow me at www.twitch.tv/lgnkarmy, I'm going to be playing in a lot more european cups as well so hopefully you can start to see me show some results.

I wish you the best of luck in your career, and have a good time staying in Poland. I'm happy there are people out there wanting to live and play SC2 in my country, not to gtfo of here

If you lost, you lost for a reason. You still have something to learn. Blaming the player being bad and the thing you lost to being cheese will hold you back, especially in a tournament situation where people tend to cheese the first game to try and get an easy win.

But otherwise, good luck in your endeavours.

I already covered that. It's hard to even take away from stupid games. There is a lot of luck that goes into this game, I played a PvP on NA were I scouted double gas, Very little chrono saved up, and third pylon and second gateway. This is 100% confirmed no effective 4gate would be coming. So I play a bit greedy expecting either robo, or blink play. I do my regular expand build and some really stupid 7:00 min 4gate comes with no sentries and not many units. It kills me because I was a bit greedy so I'm not blaming the game for me losing, But what am I suppose to take from that? I mean none of the timings lined up with anything. I can't use that to learn for the future that if I play someone with a build as weird as that I should expect and prepair for 4gate?

What I'm trying to say is that even if I lose you can't always learn things from games when the other player is just bad and gets lucky with a weird pushout.
