Hey TL'ers, I'm Redmage and I am an aspiring eSports pro player. I wanted to introduce myself and maybe get some feedback from you, the community, on your feelings of what it is to be successful in the eSports field. Currently I'm a mid-level Silver player, low I know, but I've been told that the game really doesn't take off till after Gold. I'm reviewing the build orders, strategies and VOD's that people post here and around the net to improve my game.

To help flush out my map awareness and multi-tasking skills I also play League of Legends and Tribes:Ascend. I also play Party Poker to help me with my concentration and focus for long events like LAN's and tournaments where a clear and focused calm can help make wins. Is there a regiment that any of you follow to help with your training? By playing these other games I am certain I can take away something from them like reflex and speed from Tribes or map awareness and placed aggression in League.

I'm looking forward to seeing how I progress through the ranks of Starcraft 2 and I look to the near future to possibly be ready for an MLG or something large to cut my teeth on. I don't plan on getting to far, yet, but in the months to come I plan on being alot sharper and faster and into the courtside seats of Starcraft 2. Thank you for your time.

If you want to get good at SC2, only play SC2 and a lot of it. If you're only at silver than you have a long way to go and splitting time spent on sc2 with other games will likely slow your progress.

Lol what makes you think that you need to play LoL and Tribes to increase map awareness and multitasking skills for SC2?

I think you should play SC2 to improve those aspects, lol.

Tribes is a FPS. It's point and click. It's based on reflexes and ability to aim. You can play FPS all day and it helps a tiny bit but your reflexes are what they are regardless. If you're a slow person, you won't gain anything other than probably not being fast enough to be competitive enough in either game.

LoL is ... LOL

I sounded harsh... just have fun with whatever you do

Anyway, good luck

It's hard to discern It's Gosu members around here. So many people put GoSu in front of their names and it confuses me. Until I read the part about him being in Silver, I thought he was in It's Gosu.
Regarding your playing different games... don't do it. You practice those things by playing SC2 and focusing on those things during the game. You don't need to hop on an entirely different freaking game to learn how to look at your mini map every 5 seconds.

Tbh quake will force you to improve reflexes, map awareness, timings, and "when to go for it" but i'm pretty sure cooller stermy and rapha aren't that good at sc2.
Also, i think the op just might be trolling us.
