As someone that made masters in a few weeks... if you're not masters after that amount of games, this isn't a realistic "I think I can do this" thing (unless delusional). It's just pushing yourself as far as you can, knowing damn well you wont reach the goal, but you will be further along than if you weren't pushing yourself towards some impossible fairy tale goal. It's a creative way to motivate yourself, to maximize improvement, but nothing more.

Think about it, if it were truly that simple and only took that amount of dedication (from someone that hasn't exactly shown rare SC 2 talent), then pretty much everyone in Masters would have been GM at one point or another.

If it were possible to become GM within a couple of months, that would not shed a good light on StarCraft. It's supposed to be hard, and becoming a pro (and yes, I know that's not the same as GM) should not be possible for casuals.

I hate to burst your bubble, but there are lots of casual players who are very high master/GM. Depending on what race he plays and the manner in which he wishes to reach GM I think this is entirely possible.

GM is pretty easy to get on NA. I'm sure you can do it.

I dont know the OP, but all those people claiming that it is impossible are wrong; it is easily doable to reach GM in 3 months.
Given the fact though that the OP already has 1.7k games played and is still in diamond i dont think he will be able to do it.

not from diamond. If you're not at least low master with playing only here and there, it will definately not be possible!

Good luck, but I'd bet money it won't happen on EU if you are Diamond. Looking forward to the results.

Edit: Actually you won't reach GM level play, but if you perfect Protoss 2 base play and all-in every game you might make the cut?
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

I definitely think you can do this. What I reacted to was that you wanted to follow your win ratio, doesn't really work.
Find some high master players that you can practice with every day, analyze your replays see to it that every time you encounter something new that you find a way to beat it with your practice partners. Take notes. Keeping track of what mistakes you make most often is also good.
With discipline you will get to GM.
