Hello fellow TL.net readers, i guess i am New Here even thought i have 3 blog entries which really does suck(yup, they totally do). After struggling with depression and life changing events i left Starcraft 2, didn't even check TL.net in a daily basis nor follow up strategies...hell i even stopped watching Day[9] but recently my Life got back on it's feet. So i decided to comeback and be something in this community, try to be active, make streams and such. But most importantly, try to be a Pro SC2 Gamer from turkey. I have no idea how to do it, nor a plan but i will try to be something.

You can ask: "What changed?". Well my friend, last night i was about to go sleep then wanted to check Day[9] then i stumbled upon Squirtle vs Stephano, hell their play, the crowd and TL.net made me realize how good is SC2 community. Then it flashed my dreams, how bad that i wanted to be a PrO GameR since i've been gaming for 13 years(i am 18). Even my 1st game was SC1...

So i made a list about what i Want to achieve;
1- Get back Into the community (semi-done)
2- Start playing SC2 (game is updating atm)
3- Find a coach for Protoss gameplay (signed up for free coach)
4- Get back your skills (i used to be at high plat-diamond)
5- Enter local tournaments to beat your tournament fear (waiting for a local tournament to Start, so far i missed ONE Which is GGCUP)
6- Enter international SMALL tournaments
7- Enter international MEDIUM tournaments
8- Enter international BIG tournaments
9- Hopefully get sponsorship by then
10- Profit :D

I hope i will get your support in this cause, i would like to see support which will push me even harder Which is a hella good thing.

Some matches from a local tournament Which i missed;

Afellay vs findik M1 - TvP - GGCUP Turkish SC2 Tournament

Thank you for reading

If i lose, it's ok. Just know that i learn more with my mistakes.

Nonononono don't come back man.

Since I've quit SC I've been going out a lot more, doing what needs to be done, started reading again and played classic video games (Fallout for example). Oh, and I've been watching The Wire.
SC just takes too much time.

Fallout was the best game ever! Also Fallout 2. Radscorpions are the coolest

If you really want to go pro your list should look like this

1 - Learn a good build for each match up (Copy from your favorite pro) and practice it to bits
2 - Play at least 30 games a day
3 - When you have reached solid master level, find some good practice partners for each race
4 - Practice even more
5 - Repeat step 4
6 - Enter some online cups
7 - Achieve good results -> get picked up by a good clan/team
8 - Continue to practice hard -> achieve good placings in big online tourneys
9 - Get noticed & picked up by a sponsored team with salaries
10 - Profit/ Repeat step 4 until the end of your career
