If you really want to do this, BY FAR the best way to go about doing it is in cooperation with an existing North American team to form a teamhouse where you can practice with players that are better than you (don't settle for anything less than 3+ top 100 GM players). In order to get the best opportunities, you will have to present yourself as a subsidy to the team in one way or another (probably paying a considerable, though practical, portion of teamhouse expenses). If you don't throw the cash in, then you will end up with players that are as bad as you and you may as well stay at home laddering all day. Finally, I have to warn you that your method of going about doing this is very dubious. You will surely improve quickly in an environment with better players, but in consideration of your life as a whole, it is a far better option to just continue with a standard career while playing on the side. ANYBODY who really puts in the effort can easily achieve grandmaster in north america (very, very big difference from grandmaster in SEA) on their own, and there is NO justification for throwing so much money and time out of the window until you reach this point. Chasing complexity will not get you anywhere unless you are communicating directly with the main team. The academy is not actually an academy, don't let the name fool you. | ||

Honestly, though, you're probably better off private messaging people who run houses, than asking out in the middle liek this | ||

Dunno at least for me the motivation of being the best in the academy, competing for MLG flights, and trying to get on the main team was enough motivation to practice a lot O_O | ||

Oh yea we have a few local teams, and players who are on smaller teams here too. And we are really active as a community so you always have people to practice with Plus local LANs with decent prize money and that jazz haha. | ||

I suggest that you contact an established team (e.g. EG) and see if you can do a similar arrangement. If you're willing to pay more, you can get guidance, coaching from them. Probably make 1 year or 6 month contracts with them or something like that. | ||
