I personaly recommend training in blocks of 3hrs with 1hr break up to 9hrs max a day... thats what I do and it works for me If you read about how Pro-gamers train. This is basically what they do. Wake up, breakfast/shower, few hours of games, lunch, 30-60 minute break, few hours of games, dinner, break, games, bed. Doesn't sound too bad to me, plus they take hours at a time to refine themselves, watch strats, practice certain opener timings, etc. Playing straight ladder games, without introspection, like OP said, doesn't always work. You need to be introspective and hard on yourself in order to improve. | ||

Basicly, i think it is not a good way to learn. As you said it's like football, if someone is behind you saying "ok to play well you need this and that with the ball" it won't make you a good footballer because you not even trying to learn with your own experiences. It may help a little bit I guess, but it's very limited compare to what it actually costs -.- | ||

People like gold or platium or even diamond will pay someone to do all the stuff instead of themself and it won't make them better since they don't try to think by themself to why and how they got trouble to win but they just obey to what someone tell them without really understand timings and micro/macro just playing a lot and watching their own replays.

Struggling to break on through to Masters, borderlining giving up, but this gives me hope! One thing that is so frustrating is playing after long day at work. Playing tired is god awful. I watch myself not macro, make the dumbest positional mistakes, miss timings.... Its horrible. Anyone have any tips on how to practice on not letting low energy get to the game? Anyone else come home from work to play sc2 competitively who's figured out how to do it lol... | ||

And after about... 2.5k games i think ? I am at a good level of refinement in my builds, maybe even bigger then most ppl... sadly i lack some micro  Just saying, i know play practice games and vs Ai games + theorycraft to refine builds is faster then playing 1 milion games BUT 1 million games can work as well I'm different then you, I micro very well naturally but I am almost completely unable to wing macro unless if I've practiced it to some extent. Also, I havent taken the jump yet, so im no where near your game level. | ||

Anyone have any tips on how to practice on not letting low energy get to the game? Anyone else come home from work to play sc2 competitively who's figured out how to do it lol... I suffer from the same, I try and take a short 20-30min minute nap when I get home. It is the perfect amount of time to rest for your body. You wake up with much more energy, do not sleep more then that though. Otherwise you really mess up your circadian rhythm. But yeah, I am not a pro gamer, I am a diamond level protoss. Working 7:30-4:30 limits the amount of time I can allocate to getting better at SC2. I love SC2 though, I watch like almost all the tourneys and VODs I can get my hands on. It is really a fascinating game, I enjoy learning it and getting better. Yet I also really enjoy being a fan, just watching it purely for its entertainment value. | ||

Very motivated to start laddering more and work towards my goal of making it to diamond (I'm in platinum at the moment)Keep working at it man! I was in plat for 3 months, I got bumped up to diamond on Wednesday (first placement match). I was playing diamond in like 8 out of every ten games before I was bumped up. The key is being consistent vs diamond, winning at least 50% of the games. | ||
