Helix.SC2 - Player Profiles

[Isphera]

One thing that is recommended for progressing as a player in SC2 is to set yourself short and long term goals that you aim to achieve in set periods of time. By constantly meeting your goals, you will feel much better about your practice as well as see a noticeable improvement in your play. As such, anyone who would like to be part of the group, could you please fill in the template linked from my Google Docs. Whilst I will not make it compulsory to fill the whole thing in to start with, I would strongly recommend that you at least do the Details and Short-Term Goals for Period One. Post them below and be sure to update them each fortnight.

By design, the first time period will begin next Monday for everyone so that we may keep track of everyones goals at the same time. Don't worry if you come in late, just start playing and set your first set of goals for the next time period.

Happy practicing!

Bump as some haven't filled this in yet. You don't have to do it all, but if you could do main details, long-term and short-term goals, that would be ace.
