Who started the 12 minute max out with Roaches, Stephano, DRG or someone different? Was just wondering while watching DRG's stream, really fun to watch!

I'm highly discouraged to see that terran race is disappearing..

I looked over EU:

85 protoss
78 zerg
Guess how many terrans remain?

I looked over NA:
87 zerg
93 protoss
Guess how many terrans remain?

In the End I looked the korean GM:

86 protoss
69 zerg
79 terran (with an high % of smurf, because there are many IIIIIIIIIII)


So I wonder if I should switch . Today I looked my games, I'm in mid master, and my tvp is 0%. I'm seriously discouraged

I've seen very few sources on how Koreans actually practice the game or even competitive games in general. While I know a lot of practice would be secret (especially when specific builds devised are best not known until you actually have to do them at the event itself)

But based on the things I've seen written on the whiteboards in videos of Korean teamhouses, I know there is some sort of practice schedule.

Can anybody give (even a brief) insight into how progamers practice the game, even if it has to be broad due to the fact that specific detials cannot be disclosed.

I noticed that a lot of foreigners (even those living in Korea) are criticised for basically grinding out ladder games and expecting to improve then.

Another thought is.... how does Evil Geniuses practice the game at the EG Lair? Do they straight up ladder? Do they have a think tank that tries to devise build orders? Do they try the Day[9] method of playing one style that suits them then thinking of slight deviations that may make it stronger against certain styles of play? Do they play a lot of in-house customs?

This was a question I asked on /r/Starcraft but it got instantly downvoted to oblivion without a response.

But here's basically the thread reposted here that summarises my question



TL;DR - What does a Korean practice schedule actually involve?

I would have asked this in a separate thread but it's probably been asked on TeamLiquid already and I haven't seen any duplicate threads for it although they probably do exist.
