Dude I made an account here only for saying: thank you so much for creating this thread! There's so many things in this thread I never even thought about. I'll work 100% on my confidence now and I'll also not be afraid to being flexible with my builds and trying new stuff anymore. Thank you so much, mate!

Really nice post. I always thought improving in SC (or any skill in life basically) is all about having the right mindset. If you try to learn something new every game, you then understand it's a good thing to lose. The closest you are to your 5000th loss, the closest you are from becoming an even better player.

badass guide. i've always tried to have both feet on the ground when i play and have good posture etc, with a glass of water to sip from between games.
Yea that looks just like Kang Min... amazing game sense... and uses mind games well, but has the micro of a washed up progamer.

Neat article, I like it, good job.
Deals with things like relaxation and concentration that are hardly talked about.
Minor things I might disagree with though, such as, both feet planted on ground. Heck, if someone wants to play in full lotus, go right ahead. As long as it is pain free, stable, and alert position (spine straight)...fine. In fact, it is easier to keep spine straight in certain sitting postures than normal in a chair feel on the ground style. Legs falling asleep does not do any damage, and can be forgotten.
Will finish reading it later, thx.

re: Well, the point is that both feet firmly on the ground is not a given, and you should not write that it is. There are other options open which may be better if you are in good shape and know what you are doing.

You forgot one thing though: Reflection. Just look back and see how much you have improved, and show yourself you can and will get better.

Thanks for the feedback and input, guys. Regardless of the outcome of the contest, I am going to update and revise certain parts of the guide, since some of the ideas and topics I wanted to deal with fell prey to the lack of time. So I really appreciate your ideas and input - keep them coming!

Knickknack: I thought the better part of an hour whether to include that sitting cross-legged is fine when you are used to it (I know that a lot of Koreans do it) but finally decided against it because it is really not healthy for your legs going numb over an extended period of time. Of course you can ignore it, but in return you would have to sacrifice mental energy you could have used otherwise.

SoulMarine: Thanks, definitely something I am going to add in the future updates of that guide.
