I dont know where else to share this. But i needed to

Yesterday I felt a feeling of pride and accomplishment for the first time in many years:

1 year of practice:

ME

[image loading]


FLASH

[image loading]


Still a long way to go...

My life has not been easy and my health is not good

Thank you SCBW community you have always been there for me and helped me through so much many dark times. Good luck with your goals for 2025 and may all your dreams come true

~Fighting! =)

i didnt know what NULL meant. do you also know what "base" means?

thank you for sharing, it is some encouragement, in the most soul-destroying place (that of being a "foreigner")

because i look at my chart and think "wow its actually kindof amazing"

but gosh there are so many toxic people especially on twitch

i am at a crossroads

i have worked very hard practicing mechanics, and i think i am very close to reaching pro-level mechanics.

i dont throw that term around lightly

i am at the point now where i feel competent that i can handle 80-90% of mechanically demanding situations fluidly

and sometimes i feel like im flying (the way it looks like bisu/effort/flash are flying...)

but i am not quite there yet

and also

i am limited by lack of game knowledge and korean language barrier, and need a dedicated coach

on the positive side:

i can get tr20-24 with koreans so practice environment is good

i have a solid base of fundamentals and just need lots of practice

SO

i will either quit now and forever and end the dream

or go YOLO and see how far I can go..join a korean university...something

maybe answer is less chatter...less self-doubt...more focus and more faith in myself

...

so this was my blog

let me know your thoughts =)
+ Show Spoiler +

please no inconsequential criticism about punctuation/grammar/formatting...thanks for your concerns but i just didnt care to make another aesthetic OP

1500. the korean ladder is hard and is full of very talented amateurs.

here are the categories of potential ladder matches:

1) fun, challenging, evenly matched game (25%)
2) fair loss to a much better opponent (25%)
3) free win to instant leaver (25%)
4) hopeless loss to gosu on a smurf account (5%)
5) exasperating 35min clowny game with 80apm carrier-dt hidden-nexus fantasy-gg timing person (10%)
6) instant loss/forfeit to laggy game with EU/SA/CN person (10%)

Yea, it seems like coaching would be the best way for you to move forward. I know that ladder has gotten harder over the years, but having your mechanics and 1500 is indicative of a lack in strategy/game sense/prioritization that coaching could help solve. I've encountered plenty of people with 300+ APM and clean mechanics who are stuck in D because they are doing dumb shit like microing 2 Hydralisks against a DT in their main while 3 groups of Hydralisk die to storm in the middle of the map.

I guarantee that you're not hitting the correct timings. When I get everything on time, I simply overrun my B rank opponents and smash them with just too many units. I don't even have good mechanics.

https://www.youtube.com/live/KT-xqXA687I?si=ZN8CbtQFMJt_I8HO&t=5807

it's quite simple, you stay safe early on, get the correct number of workers, get the army composition you're going for, attack and crush

I haven't yet gotten to S rank, maybe my mechanics are not good enough yet, but working on optimizing my early builds and timings got me to A rank
