Ontopic: If you're nearly masters you're well ''above average'' in terms of leagues so I wouldn't take it that much to heart, just take a break maybe for a week then come back with a clear head. | ||

Normal is not normal, a la house. I'm not sure why you're so hard on yourself. It takes two kinds of people to get into masters quickly, especially if you've seen my recent blog on what caliber of players held master positions in earlier seasons and how the metagame and evolution of player skill is quickly restructuring all ladder players so that they are in their skill appropriate designations. At this point, it takes two kinds of people to get into masters quickly. Naturally talented or savant types, and hard worker types. Are you planning anything more serious with sc2 like making a little money off it with sponsors? I was approached last night about possibly being sponsored by a fly by night home grown unit from canada, because of my insane number of games played and the fact that I am master and compete in tournaments. I'm still iffy over the idea, because I know it means that I'll REALLY have to step up my game. stop the mass gaming and start really thinking hard and analyzing everything to become better. I wouldn't take sponsorship and stay lazy. Are you planning to go into more of this kind of thing? Because if you aren't, you shouldn't take it this seriously. Imagine its something that you do because you enjoy the game,and that you will get beaten 50/50 because you choose not to try to be the best. there's no harm in having a hobby where you aren't the best at it. Hobbies are completely for yourself, and noone else has to accept what you do. Just you. That said, why not find some pro build orders, work on your macro a little better, and practice holding down your economic growth under pressure with some friends.Then take some solid build orders and try to play them out and see what happens. | ||

But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” ― Albert Einstein Everybody has stuff that they're good at, its just finding what that is. Unfortunately, we may not be as naturally inclined toward things that we want to be good at. But if we want to be good at it, then we're willing to put more effort into getting better to compensate for the lack of natural inclination. I as well, personally, wish I could believe these things, but the truth is, as social animals we are subject to the denigration of our peers for what we choose to do. Why else is "basement virgin living with mom" an insult? they're choosing to do what they want with their life, right? Maybe its jealousy. I know this last word gave everyone reading a chuckle, and thats my point. However, for starcraft this is perfectly true. You don't need to be good at SC to be special. Try to grow in other areas would be my advice. like going back to school, finding hobbies like bonsai or ceramics, etc. | ||
