1. Play 10 Games a Day/Night against Real Opponents.
2. Using the Staircase Method: Step 4. I am going to attempt to achieve 5 games in a row vs. real opponents (either in customs or Ladder) where I maintain a spending quota which is of at least Diamond Level.
3. I hope to improve my blink Stalker and Warp prism Micro.[
I was only able to play about 17 games over the period of 6 days (Thanks to Slayer and Legionnaire for playing games with me!), due to IRL stuff occurring (Thesis, Mental Breakdown etc). But I realized that perhaps 10 games was a bit of a long shot at the moment. So I am going to start from a much lower number of 3 games per day and see if I can work my way up to ten over the next couple of months.
In terms of gameplay I noticed a number of things.
1. My scouting is terrible. I'm either scouting too early, or not at all. So this is definitely something I need to keep aware of. Legionnaire (kindly enough) offered me some tips for scouting. But it is definitely something i need to be conscious of.
2. I was able to maintain a Diamond SQ+ in most of the games I played which I was fairly happy with.
3. Both my blink micro and sentry micro are terrible. I keep getting confused with my hotkeys, and I seem to have a habit of pressing SHIFT and I when using Stalkers, so that they blink on delay, which usually means they are dead.
For next week (19th August to 26th August.) my goal is:
1. Play at least 3 games per day, either custom or ladder, but must be against real opponents.
2, Maintain Diamond level SQ.
3. Learn a basic build for each race, and only use those builds: https://www.reddit.com/r/allthingspr...a_break_heres/
I will also endeavour to upload two games to the sc2sea site as replay. (1 where I think I played well and one where I don't think I played so well). so that, if people wish. they can offer me some tips and advice.
If you would like to help with my training I'm looking for Silver to Platinum players, who don't mind running of the same exercise for a few games. Add me on AM Philosopher#363 or RealID

Keep working hard, it's a steep climb but if you put your mind to it you'll improve dramatically When I first played against real people I had a ton of anxiety in bronze haha but it's good you're chipping away with 5-10 games a day
I can offer a gold-level terran, plat-level protoss and diamond-level zerg to prac with. Just hit me up in chat, I'm free just about every afternoon on the weekend. Btw, getting to prac with Legionnaire is pretty insane
In terms of how to improve, I like your method, find the areas of weakness, think of solutions and practice until they're implemented. Take it all one step at a time. In terms of builds, I'd recommend passive macro-oriented strategies because they will teach you the core macro skills you need without having to worry about microing units. Only move onto the more intensive micro builds once you've got the basics down.
