From the lonely bronze player to the highest of GM's every Starcraft 2 player wants to improve. The beauty of Starcraft is you can never win Starcraft (unless your Flash), and it is because of this reason that anyone who plays this game regularly wants to improve and become better. And with this in mind I'll tell you how i went from rank 48 bronze to high diamond facing masters/GM's in around 5 months, with one simple word Motivation.

I think anyone who's ever been to a Starcraft forum has seen a thread asking how do i get out of X League as X race, And every time it will be the same things Mechanics, Spend your larvae, don't get supply blocked, switch to this race and A-move. And all those idea's are right you need good mechanics etc to get better but all that is worthless without motivation. If you don't have the motivation to improve than all that knowledge of what to do is worthless. Take a look at all of the top players in the world currently, they all enjoying playing this game. Yeah maybe after a losing streak every player might swear to never play again but eventually you'll come crawling back. So with all this in mind ill explain how I used this practically.

Like a lot of people I bought Starcraft 2 day one with very little RTS experience (AOE 2 taught me to read I played it so much) and like a lot of other people with no multiplayer experience I got placed in the bronze league Q_Q. And i stayed their until March this year when on a whim I decided to re-install Starcraft 2 and give it another go but for some reason it stuck this time. From then I began to uncover the huge community around the game and the whole competitive scene. And basically my obsession snowballed from there. Now I play a ridiculous amount every day (while still doing homework/assignments) because I have motivation to become the youngest Aussie to go pro. I'M not saying that you need to have an insane amount of motivation to improve but if you want to improve fast than having the drive to want to get to whatever in-game goal you set is extremely important.
