EDIT::: Today wasn't as busy, I think it has to do with the starting time. The slow wave of people makes it kind of awkward to get everyone interacting. Changing start time to 4:00. Swing by Friday for ZvP and TvT day!! Hoping to organize things better now that we know what to expect from these

EDIT::: Due to heavily popular demand, I've changed time to all 4-midnight mon/wed/fri
I'll try and be around for at least the beginning of the scheduled time to help get things organized and started. I hope this helps us get a few more people in on this


What: I've completely given up on finding a team worth joining as a master league player looking to improve. Laddering helps make us better, sure... but not as much as actual practice.
So I've decided us master league players who want to improve need to band together, not to form a clan or a team, but just to start a practice group.


When: We will be focusing on specific matchups on different days. If there's a matchup you specifically want to work on, show up on that day.
-Monday 4 EST - Midnight will be PvT and ZvZ day.

-Wednesday 4 EST - Midnight will be ZvT and PvP day.

-Friday 4 EST - Midnight will be PvZ and TvT day.

[image loading]


Who: Masters league players only please. Non-masters players are allowed to obs if they wish. I don't see a reason why you can't, but if there are any complaints, this will be changed.

Where: NA Server on the channel Masters Practice Group

Why: First, we all have things we can teach each other. I'm a high masters zerg with garbage macro... My hotkey control and overall unit positioning are the only reason I'm a master. Gather a few others who are great in different areas like macro or scouting, and we can learn.
Second, laddering is bad... Play an XvP, and you learn a timing, learn something to look out for, you're excited to scout for it next game and shut it down. Then ladder queues you for a XvZ and you forget your vP lesson.

How: Show up after 4 EST on a practice day and get ready for today's matchup or obs if you wish.





As a side-note. Do those times work for those interested? I personally have night classes, and I know many have morning classes. I thought those times would be right in the middle and work best. I am open to suggestions.
The practice group is an idea that will hopefully take off well. I haven't run anything like this before, so we'll see how it goes Hope to see you guys there and watch everything go smoothly

I'm interested and the times almost work perfectly for me, I personally can't play before 3 and anything before 4:30 on Wednesdays.

Also, I was looking for something like this for a very long time when I was really in to the game, I'm not sure I'll show up or not for these now, but many thanks regardless!

Honestly i'd love to but the times are absurdly early for east coast. I'm in college and i don't get out of anything until 3-6 ish on weekdays. those times on weekends would be fine but maybe you should consider pushing it back a little bit later in the day?

The times should probably be later because people have work/school, or change the days to the weekend.

Sounds cool but being in the middle of the workday kind of kills it for anyone with a job

I would be really interested in doing this, but evening times or weekends would work much better for me.

This is a great idea! When I get back to the states, I will be joining you (won't take me long to get to masters)

I might be interested in it, but as many others have said, change the times to either later or on weekends like friday, saturday, and sunday

These times cut off so many people, except maybe people in high school... should honestly be like 6-9 EST or even later (even then that is early for west coast players).

I dont understand why you made the times soo early when majority of players have work/school. Either way its a cool idea, and with a timechange can become pretty popular.

I feel 7-10 or 8-11 is more appropiate, even people in high school cant make those times b/c of the amount of homework that is given in some courses(Like me!)

I'm not going to lie, but the times are probably terrible for most people. I liveo n the East coast, and the earliest possible I could get home is 4PM. I don't see anyone on the west coast who goes to school/work being able to participate in this.

That being said, it is a good idea. Maybe on weekends we could have dedicated obs games or koth games? That would be pretty fun.

Count me in, but you should put some alternative times too, why not?
