I also think its more important to be happy and healthy and just feel good in general, than to practise as much as humanly possible. edit: This is talking about foreigners, koreans practise more in general. You are right about that, but with that mindset some things in life just doesn't work out, and being a Starcraft progamer is one of them. You just have to pretty much drop everything in your life and dedicate all your time to practice and the game in general for being successful. You can't just play like 5 hours a day and live a "normal" life because it feels good for you, that won't make you win anything and it shows on every foreigner that isn't grinding this game all day everyday (the only exception would be Stephano?). | ||

I think he is practicing shopping 18 hours a day because his style is just amazing. but srsly I think its 8-12 but before tournament it can be easily 14-18. even CS players do practice 12h sometimes. You can see how much did Nal_Ra practice in Old boy. | ||

In reality pro players should be playing no less than 10 hours a day and most Korean pros practice atleast 10-12 hours a day. | ||

I don't remember that well since that was many months ago when he was in hardcore practice mode and was streaming atleast half of his games each day. In reality pro players should be playing no less than 10 hours a day and most Korean pros practice atleast 10-12 hours a day. For sc2 korean pros that is just a myth. Playing ~50+ games a day is the exception, not the rule, sadly | ||

We need to change this and teams need to hire coaches to check on players and give them a proper schedule and find practice partners. Yeah if EU pros practiced that much we would see a lot of smurfs coming from several players on top of the GM league like in korea. | ||

Of course you should life healthy etc. but "normal" people somehow manage to work 8hours a day and life healthy - so what is the problem with playing 8 hours a day? Or let's say 6 hours playing + 1 hour pause. On April 09 2012 18:34 aTnClouD wrote: Less than everybody think. European pros are lazy. We need to change this and teams need to hire coaches to check on players and give them a proper schedule and find practice partners. You are one of the few pro gamers in Europe. I think you are the only pro gamer from Italy. You are living the dream of many tl.net users I guess. If you want to have a coach etc. then go to korea and practice in a Team House. There you have a lot practice partners, a maid and a coach. Or you just stop being lazy and start realizing how gifted you actually are. | ||

(source = bnet profiles) "smoke break"? WAIT NesTea smokes? As in smoking cigarettes and tobacco, etc. Or is it just an idiom or the term? | ||

My results have gotten much better after i started looking more at other aspects than just practising as much as possible. I think you have no clue tbh. Also, life continues after you stop playing starcraft. I know most of you think that every foreigner should practise every wake hour he has and that we have no right to do anything else. | ||

I tried playing 8-10 hrs for 2 days, and I can tell you that you get exhausted in a extreme way. Your body is aching, your eyes are tired etc. But I think it can be possible if you do some kind of physical exercise & eat healthy. I did some yoga stretches which helped immensely! But it is def. a strain on the body, I think anyone who have played a lot can attest to this? Also, on another related topic isn't it just as important to analyse replays & get "sc2 knowledge"? Any pros have an opinion on this? | ||

As long as you are healthy then the more you practice, the better. The more your brain is exposed to situations in the game, the better chance you can recollect the best choice of action. However, this is assuming that practice well and not just laddering blindly. | ||

I really think all of the people who have a gigantic mouth here and tell others how and what they should do, please go ahead in practise 12 hours a day for a week  and then play a tournament at the end and come back and tell me how it went.In fact, if find it really annoying. | ||
