EVERYTHING, literally EVERYTHING is possible if you are willing, and striving after your goal. Make sure not to '' take water over your head'' or whatever it's called in English! Good luck! | ||

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. | ||

Then again maybe i am wrong and you are talented. However you should probably speedrun the campaign and not the ladder. Does anyone want to make a bet on this? | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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

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. | ||

Like everybody said, allins with protoss are really strong and so gay. But hey, at least, your challenge might finally be realistic. | ||

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) | ||

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

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. | ||

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. | ||

I won't be aiming for GM, but definitely for mid-master. I am a high-plat/low-diamond Zerg (though massive under-activity has put all my accounts in Gold). I will set up my computer and start a practice regime immediately, and see if I can get Masters post-purge. If I can do that in the next 2.5 months, maybe I can continue an equally efficient practice schedule to be in a good place for the next MLG. Good luck!! | ||

But will this guy do it? I doubt it. Seems a bit bizzare to post this in SC2 general especially since he has no previous pro gaming experience. If you had been already trying for 2.5 months and made it to top 8 masters before challenging yourself to reach grandmasters in 2 months, it would have been something worth watching. PS: Reaching grandmaster level and actually being placed in grandmaster are two different things. For example look at streamers like Painuser - a top masters player, MaximusBlack, currently rank 30 in masters, and a bunch of others, and they've all been playing for a long time. | ||

I feel getting top X master's would be a much more realistic goal. http://www.sc2ranks.com/ranks/all/master Currently the top place is ~1500 points. Aim for that! GL HF! | ||

From diamond with no experience beforehand as how to professionally train, yes, it is absolutely impossible right now. Especially midseason. If your only goal is to reach grandmaster aka you don't really care about being "good" , you could allin with a strong 2 base timing every game but as I understood, his goal is really being grandmaster as in actually good. | ||

people debate whether he can or cant. throw some flamage here and there, and he+thread disappear into the depth of the internet 98% chance you won make it. Youd have to get your MMR up before season ends. The easiest time to "level" up is between seasons. At that point your behind on games etc and have to make up the other 2 months you werent playing. Whats the 2% you ask? Find a very cheeky/cheesy P or T build and learn it and do it every match(honestly dont think you can pick up zerg right now and win with some bad all ins, theyre not as strong as P and T cant be) Something that will let you finish a game fast so you can play X amount of games in a day with a decent win ratio. Thats your only shot. Cheers | ||

It really depends. He has 1.7k games total, but the important question is how many of these are 1v1s? There's a lot of people who could be good who never put in time nor effort. If he can put in 8 hours a day and possibly even grab a coach (might not even need a coach, if he has like 50 1v1 games since the release of sc2 he could possibly have some talent), I can see it happening. | ||

I think that your best chance is to find extremely abusive builds which give you quick victories, I doubt that in macro games you will be able to learn fast enough to reach GM in 75 days, even if you just play, eat and sleep. Or you could be a some kind of a prodigy and we will be hearing from you in few months taking games off Korean pros. | ||

All-inning should take you pretty far into master league, but you'll hit a wall soon, unless your control is godlike. (which I doubt from what I've read here) Anyway, good luck. | ||
