In nature there was no situation in which we wouldn't be in a very physical situation when adrenaline is released into our system. Our civilisation has created scenarios in which that is the case though: Exams, job interviews, presentations, fast driving, chess, SC2 tournaments and countless other situations. It's extremely important to take deep breaths and, if you have the opportunity, get your heart pumping. Get physical, go for a short run if you can, you'll feel so much better and now you can make use of that extra focus, strength, speed and increased reaction times. Good point. Nice read in general. | ||

Just watching 2-3 a day will only cost 15 minutes but could help a lot! Yeah thats a good idea, I watch your stream a lot and never see you watch any replays at all... I also watch DeMuslim a lot, and he analyzes his replays all the time, and just look at his improvements lately.. I'm not saying there is a direct correlation, but it is very obvious that it helps, like you said... So yeah, good idea! good blog as well, like following your progress its fun ! See you soon on stream | ||

your recent results just like the Kaspersky Arena or different online cups. I believe that everyone who practices so hard for his goals will once archieve them - no matter what. I just wish you the best for your future. Just one thing left - the passion you have in playing sc2. I got the same "passion" about playing Basketball all the time or just watch someone play it. As much as i want to train hard and focus and my personal goals in sports it is so important to just sometimes relax about the thing you love and not just see it as "work to do". In Basketball we play little shooting games like horse or just some pick up games where we play hard but are goofing around very much. Maybe it will help you with sc2 when from time to time you just have one evening were you play with guys from the chat (monobattles or something) or anything else so that you don`t have that much competitive nature in those games itself. a fan of yours!

The bolded part is the only 'problem' you have. Even your nick points to it. TheLittleOne. Why is it that you must be 'the weak one' who has to overcome all possible shits to win? I remember seeing you play vs MC at some tournament ~1 year ago. Homestory? or something.. You were shaking and trying to compose yourself to be able to beat this 'much stronger opponent'. If you can allow yourself to be TheBigOne, allow yourself the mindset that it's completely fine to be strong and powerful and crush people in games - you will reach a new level of your game. Some role models you should look up to (replace your old ones): - Michael Jordan - Kobe Bryant - Michael Schumacher - Muhammad Ali - Mike Tyson - Klitchko brothers They are 'killers', yet they don't actually hurt anyone. They're just letting their power shine totally, and they don't hold back or hide. Imo this step is what's keeping you from becoming a much much better player. | ||

My mind has changed a lot over the past year, I'm gaining confidence and manage to see myself as someone fit to win tournaments. It's still something In need to work on a lot though! Often I think to myself that I need that 1 big breakout win to really get to that level, but I can work on it before already, that's for sure. Thanks for your input! | ||

(1) when they introduced the resume game from replay option you reacted extremely enthusiastic about its impact for training. Atm though, you hardly seem to make use of it. Did you change your mind about it or is it more due to the training preferences of other players? (2) you are probably the pro with the biggest streaming time atm. Don`t you sometimes think that this makes you like an open book for other pros? Personally I`m kinda divided on that issue. On the one hand you are as you said more of an intuitive player that varies his builds a lot. Nevertheless I think it`s fait to say that if someone watches you regulary it`s easy for him to figure out typical patterns (e.g. when you opt for mutas in zvp). Maybe you should think about cutting your streaming times more when there are important matches on the table (and as an avid viewer I don`t say that to my own benefit ;-) ). Best of luck and grats on your recent improvement. | ||
