Nice post. Idk why no one has posted a response here, but my best guess is that the title doesn't really draw people in. Tbh I thought this post was about Diablo 3 when I first looked at it lol.

I've been struggling myself trying to get into master's, and I can relate to your 100 meter dash. It seems like I would play in largish gaming sessions (~10 games a day) for a month or two, and then just get turned off and quit for a while. It's a nasty trend. It feels like I get better, but every time I come back my opponents at the level I used to be at are miles ahead of me (even after some practice). There's a lot to be said about staying in the race for the long haul, even if it's a little each week.

That you have the stamina to up your game is great

. My only concern is that if you approach your daily gaming sessions by saying you have a "game quota" you might burn yourself out. I think there's a lot to be said for keeping the game fun by mixing it up once in a while, and if you simply aren't able to meet a "quota" one day for some reason to not beat yourself up too much.

Granted, I'm just a low diamond player (probably high plat by now...), so take what I say with a grain of salt. Gl in your endeavors. That's just my two cents.

Too many people at all levels of play confuse the importance of ladder ranking and win streaks with the importance of actually improving at Starcraft, win or lose. That being said, worry more about collecting important, informative losses, rather than worrying about collecting meaningless wins and green points with a + sign next to them. If you finish your 15 games for the day, and you only have 1 loss to look at tomorrow, something is wrong. You should be GLAD after a day of 14 losses and a single win, because it means you have so much stuff to learn from the next day. Improvement will come with losses, and if you lose rank due to losses while trying your best, then you weren't meant to be at that rank in the first place.

If you stick with it, and continue to be passionate the way I have seen you be about Starcraft at Vancouver events, you are going to grow into a force to be reckoned with. Until then, just keep up the hard work. Make me scared to play you at the next tournament!
