Pick any proper player from streams and you'll learn it in no time as long as you play yourself too.

I really don't think this is a good advice at all. Pro players do so much subtly that low level players (or even other high level players) don't even realize. Much better off getting dedicated help from someone trying to teach low level players and who explains what they are doing and why. That is what Day[9] did so well, and how I got to Masters in SC2. Understanding the fundamentals first.

I never would have become good just watching pros stream.

Watching pros streaming is like watching a pianist. Great for entertainment--but terrible for learning.

wow what a clever comment eksdee. Too bad it's bullshit, watching pro streams is like watching grandmaster chess games. Any player will be able to detect patterns in play and events when given a set of grandmaster chess games, and deduce the next best move, introducing a way of thinking where you need to dissect the game and figure out why something is played. The benefit of pro streams is that they will occasionally explain their thoughts as well, as opposed to chess games without annotations

This is kind of the point right, the annotations is what teaches, not the stream. Winter, for example, can teach a lot just because he talks during his stream. Even Avilo teaches a lot just because he talks on his stream. But you have to make sure to understand that when watching a pro stream, you are actually watching/listening to the pro, and not to the actual game.

Its the difference between learning a build order for a matchup versus learning the rhythms of a matchup.

I recommend Winter also, strongly. I was Masters in WOL, and am using his videos.

And I have almost 10x the posts you do.

You don't need to learn from the absolutely best player of any race out there. I got quite good emulating and learning from WBC, HwangSin and Naniwa. Needless to say, I like timing attacks.
