I have seen some of those "my goals" threads and they were highly disappointing and demoralizing. What the hell people, seriously. Your goals suck.

Let me guide you through how to make goals for yourself.
This is how you do it, LEARN:

My goal, for Season 9, is to get Olympic Rings for 3 accounts - Z account, T account, and P one too.

THAT'S RIGHT. You heard it here first. A- is for nubs. A is shooting too low. A+? pff, ezcake.
All those people who are aiming to get a steady C+, YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG.

This season, I'm going to use 100% of my free time to play Starcraft on iCCup. I'll wake up every day, do my daily duties, work, work out, eat, shower, etc. BUT, for the rest of the time, I will use every tiniest moment of "hey I can do whatever I want now" to /play Starcraft and become the best/.

If I ever catch myself trollingchatting on IRC, or watching Youtubesa movie, or trying to go out with friends, or anything stupid and useless like that, I'll instantly slap myself back to reality and go play some STARCRAFT, YEAH.

So people, is my plan good? y/n

I read this text: Read this if you still haven't
And it is absolutely true. Jaedong isn't the best Starcraft player because he was born with a mouse in his hand, he's the best Starcraft player because he practices a minimum of 10 hours a day. If you want to be good at Starcraft, you need only one thing - and that is DEDICATION. Watching VODs, reading threads, and all this stuff TLers do naturally is time lost on your way to A+. Goals are there to push you forward, well I'm planning to do that! I'll be posting my progress as I go, wish me luck ;p

Did I just say A+? A+ is for scrubs, skilless newbies. My aim is to top that. No compromise whatsoever.

I'm not being funny! I'm dead serious. ja ja

I want to bring hope to the hearts of all D- players (I'm not D- myself but you get the idea) and show that, anyone can be a SC pro, if you just put yourself to it. AND I WILL

Right now, I'm #1 on iCCup

[image loading]


When the season starts, this might change. But by the end of the season, I will be #1 again! THAT, is my goal.

I look forward to seeing you play in Korea when you're instantly recruited to a pro team for displaying such impressive skills on iCCup.

If that brings you satisfaction pachi, yes, you may. :p
/me prepares for being banned from TL after only reaching Olympic with toss and terran and dropping to A+ with Z after being cheesed in his last season game

I have already prepared to go all the way with this. I've set my desktop wallpaper to remind me of Starcraft every time I turn on the PC. 1280x1024 Image
Do not underestimate the powers of motivation. Everything is possible if you just try really fucking hard.

You really seem to believe this is going to work, or you've taken the over confident joke a bit too far but either way....

YOU WILL NOT EVEN ACHIEVE B RANK WITH ANY RACE GIVE UP NOW BEFORE YOU WASTE THREE MONTHS OF YOUR LIFE AND FEEL LIKE TOTAL SHIT WHEN YOU FAIIIIIIIIL

Do this or regret it.

elky looks like a child molester in that pic.

BTW.

speaking of goals, I was thinking of makin B- my goal till the end of summer.
My max is C for now.

But then I figured I don't want to waste the entire summer playing Starcraft.
I only play starcraft when I need to study.

So iCCup is up, I'm up to 1200 points with a stunning 40% win ratio.
Not as good as mr. xodusdktkfkdgo's D+ with 2600, but I'm slowly getting there!

Now I'm taking a short lunch break after 12 games in a row, most of them being ZvPs I lost and ZvZs I won. I need to step up my ZvP, early P zealots on bluestorm are slowing down my macro. I'll work on a more solid timing for my build to be better prepared!

Yeah haha, I almost got a game with that xodusdktkfkdgo but he left for some reason. Currently 24th on the ladder, highest I've ever been!
