Good luck to you buddy! I'm in silver league myself and hate playing 1v1s so I'm really curious to see how you handle it. I think I'm just too competitive to play 1v1 cause I don't like losing..haha

Anyway I'll watch any streaming you do, and qwould even happily be a playing partner if/when I'm on.

I think the other hard part trying to do this is putting in the hours. This is why I'm also happy staying in a low league, I just don't have the time to invest, I am happily married and want to stay that way.

Good luck to you!!! I will follow eargerly.

I don't know about daily - every few days to every couple of weeks would be good as far as being a reader goes, I think.

Not saying you shouldn't write something for every day if you wish, but if you're planning on publishing somewhere maybe consider publishing the major events. Also, it would be great for you to summarise what the transition to each league meant for you - what did you do to earn a promotion.

I'm keeping note of mine and it's interesting for me to see how similar our journeys are

Best of luck with your goal!

HAHA laughing so hard right now.

Perhaps a scheduled stream where you archive all teh game you play...

That way you don't have to do shittonnes of editing etc. and you can just log on, play 5-10 games on your stream, and the vods are saved for anyone wishing to watch them at a later time...

[TASlowHands]

Its totally achievable, you're going to have to work hard and play an ass load of games though to practice. There really can be no anxiety if you're going to make it. If you're scared to ladder you can't climb to the top. However you can use custom games to refine your builds, learn as much as you can about the game and discuss strategy, these all make me feel comfortable to ladder. Remember there will always be days you play terribly and go on losing streaks. Thats a big part of the game, just watch your replays and find out why you lose and document what you struggle with the most so you can work on it

[Lucien]

It's more than doable (depending on which ladder you're talking about). I know more than a few people in the SEA GM list who made it there in under a year, starting with zero RTS experience... so, good luck!

[TABjornbrandr]

As long as you remember to enjoy yourself along the way, it'll be a blast.
If you get caught up in the whole "I'm only this league, I need to be here by now" then your progress will get frustrating a lot quicker.
Have fun and slam the ladder!

[nirvAnA]

whatever plan you write for yourself the most important thing would be to follow it and take action. Read rekrul's blog here for inspiration, best blog i've seen in a while http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?id=266875

its going to be tough road ahead and of course 1 month is pushing it I would say don't put a deadline on yourself or you're gonna give yourself unnecessary pressure. instead have fun with it, aim high and stay focused(by taking action)

GL!

[TADivinity]

Silver to GM on SEA is definitely possible within a year - Personally I have until halfway through April or something to achieve this :P.

Goodluck. It will involve a tonne of reading and asking questions. Naturally, make sure you understand why you lose every game.

I honestly believe you can simply make it to Plat at the very least by making sure your injects are timely, and you avoid supply caps.

[ToRVenom]

Hey! to be honest i am actually going to try this ! Thank you so much for the idea . ! I will be posting all the video's on my youtube channel. So please come watch however dont let this distract you from EASY post !
My youtube is www.youtube.com/venomlord17

[Jaywalk]

[Demisesodlu]

Good Luck to you, I'd love to do this also but I have no where the amount of patience.

I'm pretty sure I remember reading somewhere that Rossi went from bronze to GM which is who I actually meant XD

Good to see there are a few that made it all the way though. Gives hope to me to make it from placing silver originally.

glhf and hope to see your name with the big leagues

[mrGRAPE]

Hey man, if you set your heart and time aside to play consistently everyday and watch replays to learn how to improve, I'm sure you'll be able to reach GM within a year. =)

My recommendation?

If you're really serious with it and you have the motivation you could try doing something similiar to crAzerk's Road to Masters.
It's good because it allows you to review your replays, talk about what went wrong, and what you could do better next time. As a plus side you'll get lots of 's from the community and we'll be glad to help you with any mistakes you make.

You don't have to include pictures (they're an absolute pain to put on this site) but it adds to the readability.

Road to masters series was awesomeeeeee!

I agree that it's definitely possible, i started off this game in beta on NA on my friend's account in bronze as well and got up to diamond (was highest at the time) in a couple weeks!

There's a big difference between playing a Bronze account to Diamond and being a Bronze player who improves to Diamond.

The latter is a significant achievement, while the former is simply the system adjusting you to where you belonged all along.

I totally feel you on the "ladder anxiety" but those actually go away for me after I play a certain number of games in a row. So if I don't ladder for a long time, its actually exhausting for me to get started again. Sorry, I digress. hehe.

But anyways, like so many before me (and more credible than I) have said, this is completely possible. I had a friend who has no RTS experience whatsoever, no knowledge of SC2 or SCBW and its units, just buy the game, and jumped straight into ladder skipping practice league just after a handful of games in customs/vs AI., and not even having played the campaign at all. He started since the launch, and I doubt he's even finished half the campaign till now. But he's made it all the way to Masters in just about 3-6 months. After that, other priorities took up his time, but he can take out GM players, just that he has no time to ladder to get into GM. He analysed much of his replays, especially his losses, and why and where and how certain actions/decisions he's made resulted in that loss.

All the best to you in this project my friend. I do hope you succeed
