diamond to master will be hard, I dont think you can do it. But see it as additional motivation!

From personal experience I can tell you that simply massing games doesn't get you that far lol.

(I have 1000+ wins as protoss and 1000+ wins as terran and I am no where near GM).

Depends on how much work he puts in

bro


He's only dianond 1v1 right? Yea, I don't think any amount of work is going to get him GM in 2-5 months. Even now, if you look at his stream he's playing team games. The work required for Diamond - GM in 2-5 months would probably be constant 8-12 hour days of efficient practice. Very few people have the dedication or the lack of responsibilities for such a training schedule.

More like 8 to 12 months before getting gm...
Oh well. Like everybody said, allins with protoss are really strong and so gay. But hey, at least, your challenge might finally be realistic.

Anyways GLHF. Prepare for 10hours dedicated hours of practice a day if you want to make it.

pick the easiest server and try to get GM there

might work

some people in the MLG Spring championship were in GM in these "easier regions"

and they got demolished by players from other regions

so getting GM there is going to be easier than trying for GM in the other regions...

also you have to be serious about it, dedicate your entire life to SC2 (these 2.5 months you have allotted yourself)

10 hours is not enough

18 hours a day would be only decent

like play 16 hours a day, and have 2 hours to just watch replays and figure out what you did wrong

when I played Warcraft 3, and was rank 2 on the ladder, I played 16+ hours a day, just to be able to stay up there in ladder points wise (was first to get 500 win random race icon)

He's playing on EU right? Stream says so at least.

0% chance to get GM by his own in 2.5 Months is my estimate and I am pretty damn certain it is accurate.

he is not even playing 1v1 on his stream and instead just doing 2v2s.
Nice plug for stream but not going to get you any viewers in the long run.

lol? NA/EU are about the same, Ive been GM on both before......

Well 4Gating in 2v2s won't get him there, pretty sure of it. (That's what he does on stream . . .)
Also from Diamond to GM is such a huuuge step, especially without a good coach, by rights it should take him a year to get there unless he just does some stupid all-in every game, and even then I doubt it will work.

I just got to 750 wins with 1v1 terran and i've been jumping between low masters and high diamond the last 500 games. I think you can get to high diamond very fast and easy but then you need to commit some serious time to break into high masters/gm.

I play 7-8 ladder games a week now which is nothing. I think you need 30 games a day or something?

But as soon as someone tunes in and sees that they have been duped, they will immediately turn it off. Soooooooooo, not exactly sure what this accomplishes.

you high bro? 18 hours a day is impossible even for pro koreans, let alone a casual gamer. you must let your mind rest.. or you will tilt so hard. only mindless ladder grind will not get your far.

Not it really is not the same..


it is very similar on non high end mmr. i am/was high masters on both servers and i noticed more play style difference than difficulty wise. na players (especially protosses) seemed MUCH more gamble gamble kind of play style to me though and i'm bad against that........ particular way of playing the game....... so maybe my perception isn't 100% right.

on high gm level it's simple logic that na is a lot easier though, as eu top players are much better than na and there are a lot more of them.
