Firstly I would like to thank mani for unbanning me 4 hours early.

Starting tomorrow I will be going on an adventure. From D to B in 2 months. I have been in hell since friday and banned since the beginning of july. It has given me time to think and set my goals straight. Starting tomorrow asoon as I get home and turn on my computer I will start. My highest rank has been C which was 2 seasons ago. I am going to start with a new account and go from D to B in 2 months before the season ends. Everyone has something to live for. I will have something to live for and be proud of when I reach my goal. Hurrah ill update my adventure here and there but tomorrow will be the start of history in the making! If flash can become a progamer in less then 3 years I can do this in 2 months!

Flash also played for 18 hours a day . Will you do that?
2 months = ~60 days.
60*18 = 1080 hours. glhfgg. And don't crash.

Nope.

Also what kind of social life maintaining will you be doing? Just to ask exactly how much time your overestimating in each day.

On that note, I'm in a hotel room with shitty internet until tomorrow, time to massgame.

I think you would gain more (and stand a better chance of success) if your goal was to play X games per day and review your losses or something more along those lines.

Yes, the color of C- is the correct answer

your goal should be "play 50 games a day and watch replays of losses or confusing games".
getting to such and such a rank is not a feasible goal since you could go up against korean smurfs all day for a week at c-. its not likely but its possible. just try to play 50 games a day for a week. then go from there. you can adjust and add on to your x games a day goal with other goals like win 30 games a day or w/e. good luck

Won't happen. Race, you have always had a fucked understanding of the game, and your mass gaming has never really paid off. This is just going to end up in you getting frustrated and angry and probably re-banned after a rage blog or something,

GL though.

Also, football?

Why don't you concentrate a shitload on lifting for football and getting in shape for that instead of mass gaming on SC? It'll probably pay more dividends and you can still play StarCraft for fun on the side instead of decreeing it an epic campaign to the center of Berlin or some shit.

he's 14, he has a lot of free time and his conscience hasn't evolved enough yet to give him the idea he's playing to much

if you mass alot of games im fairly sure you can point abuse your way there if nothing else. But gaining those thousand points through B will probably be the hardest part because losses take out alot. If you dodge koreans and played 500 games or so you might be able to get from C level to B if you've never gotten past C, maybe.

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

You will never make B Race how often have I heard that from you? You have been C- for half a year or more, that's how far your mechanics can bring you. I remember when we both started out a year ago and you told me you would be B- beofre christmas, and here we are at the end of the summer more htne a year later and you are barely an average C-.

If you constantly analyse yourl osses and know what you did worng in EVERY game including your wins maybe you can reach C+ in half a year. Good luck however.

It's not, some people just like to trash talk.

I respect your desire to push yourself but just don't burn yourself out too much. Keep in mind Chill barely broke B after playing the game for years and years.

If you're serious about it I recommend looking for a coach who can tell you what you're doing wrong. No matter how much your mechanics or memorization of build orders improves, it won't make a difference if you can't have someone analyze your reaction to other players and what mistakes you made in game. Knowing when to expand, when to attack, when to deny expansions, when to try to move out and when not to, these game sense/decision making skills really take time to develop, and I don't think they can be obtained by simple mass gaming or memorization.

So I highly highly recommend looking for someone to be a personal trainer for you if you can find someone. Good luck.
