Reading TL's last post somehow makes me really happy. I can feel your enthusiasm and love for the game and I think it's inspiring. :-)

Since there were a few gamers that left TL and SC2 in general, I'm just so glad to hear that you are more motivated than ever.

Keep fighting!

This sounds very wise and inspiring. I've been thinking about doing something similar in order to live a more productive life. Although I suppose social interaction will probably kill my productive schedule in a day or so :D. Which is important too, but less productive.

On another note: I am very envious of you guys being able to live with 8 or even less hours of sleep. So much more time!

Hi Dario,

Now that you have a new coach for EG-TL, is the team going to have a new training schedule? If so, are you going to switch it with the one you have now/implement parts of it to the existing one? I've heard a lot about coach Park and how awesome he was in Brood War so I guess he has a pretty solid way of working up the game.

I think its just EG-TL for proleague, not actually a complete fusion of teams, but I'll wait for TLO's answer. I guess TL is not affected by coach Park, at least not the ones that are not part of proleague.

Thursdays from 10h30 to 11h30 is for "self reflection on your game". That's interesting: do you just sit on a couch and think (that would pretty awesome) or do you watch your replays and replays of pros? Hopefully this schedule yields substancial results in the futur for you.

I felt so bad for you at IEM, nothing to do with results, more the look on your face when you lost on stream. You really looked disappointed, even though you were playing some of the best in the world. I always enjoy watching you play and was afraid of maybe you deciding to follow a different path. I'm glad you are motivated and I can't wait to see the new TLO after a few months of such a demanding practice schedule.

This is a great idea Dario, but I have a couple of questions/comments:

Is dinner incorporated into your chilling time on Fridays? That's easy enough to do, but I was just curious why it wasn't listed separately like every other day.

I like how you vary the schedule from day to day, since that will help keep things fresh and keep you from feeling like a slave to the game, which I know a lot of progamers with a rigid schedule struggle with. However, it's my understanding, and I could be wrong, that one of the challenges of being a progamer, at least in SC2, is maintaining a training regiment like this while still keeping your schedule flexible for traveling, online cups, and the occasional interference from real life. While this may be an excellent guideline for what you want to accomplish with your SC2 training from week to week, I doubt you'll be able to stick to it religiously for long, and that has nothing to do with your work ethic. But if you have this schedule in the back of your mind, reminding you of how much time you need to spend practicing, it's a good thing.

Props to you for taking your SC2 career by the horns...been a fan ever since the TL Invitational back in WoL Beta, more specifically the Metalopolis game against Nazgul. TLO fighting~

This will not be enough, if you really want to make up for what you are lacking compare to the top koreans, you need a good coach. TL doesn't have a full time coach like every korean team has. You can't do it alone. You guys should never have let nony go, keep him around as a coach if you had to,you guys lost someone irreplaceable, who can analyse the in and out of every player.

Anyone can make schedules but how do you keep it up. It's hard even for people with regularly scheduled jobs to keep to a schedule. But for a progamer, how do you deal with frustration and disappointment?
You start playing and you get frustrated for whatever reason, how do you carry on?
On one hand its counter productive to continue playing angry, on the other hand, if you stop how do you get back on schedule.
And for a person as motivated as you, if you take a break how do you relax, instead of getting angry with yourself for slacking.

Also whats up, self reflection should be done in the end of the day, in the beginning of the day youre to excited to play, youll just reflect that everything is fine and great and you should start playing asap.
