What is training like? What do we understand when some top- and pro-gamers say: "Before a tournament I train a lot"? Does it mean that they log in to bNet and keep playing ladder games 24/7? I doubt it.

Training has a lot to do with a lot of things. One of them is the "progress bar". If we can call it this way. How can we measure our progress, can we just play like 50 games and then look at it and say : "Oh yea I am way better than before those 50 games." or " Oh **** i've wasted my time here" instead of "Hmm, I saw something wrong in my playstyle, maybe I should change something and then look if it's for the better."
They are many possibilites before, during and after a lot of playing, but not many players realize how important it is, not to look at the so-called progress bar, but look in your playstyle. In this first article I will try and teach the players who don't know how to utilize their time. This is made for new players. This tutorial can always be used by everyone around average level, maybe even higher. I am sure that it saves time, nerves(!) and will help you before you get addicted to gaming, yes it is possible.
