So, it has been quite the interesting month, or so, since I made that post about me wanting to go pro. Two days later I made plat. I have had to take about a week to 12 days off in total since I started this. And, I found out I have the macro of a Diamond player and control of a Gold leaguer.

To expand on that a little more, we will start on the breaks. I have having some stuff happen in the family, that I would rather not talk about, and so I have had to take time off. Not to mention High school is almost over for me and I have had some projects and stuff that I had to do in the mean time. In regards to the whole weird range of skill thing, I didn't come up with that out of thin air. I have a masters coach/ good friend of mine, and he spectated a few games of me playing against a mid- Diamond Terran in our clan. He showed me the replay and so now I have a pretty much concrete direction to focus on.I am not saying my Macro is solidly up to that level, just It is for sure that is my strongest point right. So, with that in mind, I will be focusing on multitasking and dealing with pressure in tense situations of game play. I had wrote a thing about having some anxiety issues with SC. Not long after I wrote that they fairly quickly subsided.

Needless to say I found that it wasn't the ladder per-say that was the cause of anxiety, but more of another problem in my life manifesting itself through the game. That is just a guess, but I do plan on looking into getting help for. What ever it is, it isn't good and if I want to become a healthy person and be able to succeed in, not just SC but, anything I pursue I need to get this shit ball of emotions figured out. In regards to training I am sticking to what I do for now. Ladder, play against AI for figuring out and memorizing builds, and playing against upper league clan mates to gauge my abilities and figure out the problem areas.

I hope to do one of the these once a month, if you enjoy these this is good, if you don't thanks for stopping by. Either way, thanks for reading and thanks for any form of feedback, mostly the good though Kappa.

Don't over analyze the causes for your losses. If your goal is reaching pro level, you have to remember that you absolutely suck at everything. So, it's useless to focus "I need to improve on my multitasking" or stuff like that because it will distract you from other things.

You can do a lot of things to improve more quickly compared to the number of games you play, but usually, if you can grind 20 games in a row every day, it's great. I'm also one who tends to play very little and watch a lot of streams/theorycraft/discuss the game. But when I play 30 games in a row I immediately feel the difference,

The issue with ladder anxiety is that you say - ok now I play 30 games in a row. But then you win the first 5, and you're like "wow, I'm higher than I've ever been, I can take a break". Then you keep taking breaks to the point where you're not maintaining your skill level and sooner or later that 20 games-losing streak is waiting for you, and it's gonna hurt really bad. So try as much as you can to be constant with your practice, for example an average of 10 games/day is a good starting point.

Watching pro streams is really good because you will memorize decision making, which is something that takes longer to figure out by yourself, than by watching others. Instead, control and basic macro mechanics (building workers, not getting supply blocked, etc.) is something which improves simply by playing more games.
